I Saw the Light (Acetate version 11) (2019 - Remaster) Songtext
von Hank Williams

All the boys and myself
I saw the light

I was all alone and driftin′
Wait a minute, Jim
Where am I going?
I've got a wrong song here
Stop! Hold
Now which song am I singin′?
I wrote so many of 'em to the same tune
I don't know which one I′m starting to follow you

Sounds like Irving Berlin, he′s the only man I know that steals from himself
That's a honest man, ain′t it?
Ain't that a honest man? (Yeah, yeah, he′s the only one)
Rivers, did you get the right introducts? (Yeah)
Are you sure? (Yeah, they're all the same)
They all the same? (Here we are now)
That′s pretty good, you hearin'?
Alright Rivers, let's go


I wandered so aimless, life filed with sin
I wouldn′t let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I′m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

Just like a blind man, I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I was a fool to wander and stray
For straight is the gate and narrow′s the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light


I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

Thank you boys, that′s more than made up for that false start
Because that was really fine that you got goin'
