Hank Snow: The original rapper.

johnny cash should have left this one alone,no where near as good as hank.

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

@guitaritnowable Overall, Cash > Snow, but i agree. Hank did it best.

There's not another song like this one, and no one can sing it like he did. No one sounds like him. I grew listening to him. Love to hear my son sing this, and anyone else who can sing it. But there's only one HANK SNOW!!

Back in the late 70's I worked at WNCO..a country music station in Ashland, Ohio..I had the privilege to interview Mr. Snow..At that time he had a total disdain for the 'new' country..In fact he kind of sounded a bit bitter that maybe he wasn't given his due..

Doesn't even mention Sha-doo (Seattle) - boooo! Just kidding, LOL. :-d

Heres to all of the truckers out there....

[rosekraut]

[e2cmmm]

LOVE IT!! :-D Still as great as it was when I heard it back in the '60s!

[mortgagebrokercalgar]

this is a good song

[GaGe701]

I sang this song at a school talent show. Barely got it out without passing out!!

[rockgor]

Love that song. I couldn't even memorize the lyrics much less sing

it. Guess you have to tape the words to the back of your guitar.

Hank's version of "The Texas Silver Zephyr" used to be on Youtube.

Now I can't find it. Another great C-W tune.

Thanks for the great post.

Yes, it's a great song, but it's not the original. The number hails from Australia. It was written by Geoff Mack and sung by "Lucky Starr" - in supersonic tempo. Various other countries have been graced with local renditions of it, including New Zealand, the United States and even England!

Fantastic! How did he remember all the places so fast??

[SusannaDee]

Thanks for this!  Lovely version from Hank Snow but not the original, however.

This is an Australian song written by Geoff Mack in 1959 and later adapted for Hank. There's a New Zealand version as well.

I like this one better than Johnny Cash's version

[thrashersk8er1]

Read his autobiography. Great story teller. Grew up dirt poor in Nova Scotia, a kind grandmother and evil stepfather, struggled and climbed his way to the top and was still the sweetest guy you'd ever meet.
