I don't know what you mean by "two bit." This is a heartbreaking song. There's a reason that its popularity was so far reaching. Another one is "I Fought the Law." My cat has a cover version of that one on YouTube.
From Brazil! I believe that I have almost all of his songs, but everyday I discover another good song. In my opinion, he is (not was) the greatest country singer ever. I am used to sing his songs out loud all day long! Best way to learn english and train!
amazing thing about hank he wasnt even from appalch south, instead south alabama. much different culture then appalch w va, nc & east tenn. People who live in the south know how different culturally those 2 regions are w/in the south. hank grew up in an area of the south where delta blues & new orleans dixie land jazz would be heard on the corners of his youth. Yet here he completely taps into deep appalch mtn music. nails it w/ that scot/irish mtn blue tone. this guys ear & voice were amazing.
@MrBillfitz It's when she does solos that something odd happens, in my opinion anyway. But as part of the backing, especially for the Gospel songs, she then did very well.
The great Hank Williams Sr. None other has touched the multitude as he has . I can only hope my songs will reach a small percentage of those he touched .
That ole boy could put a tear on every word sang..just the most painful heartfelt ...kinda always so lonesome..god rest his soul..no dout for me the greatest singer song writer ever.Jimmy Rogers being close second place. thanks for posting this gem. Denis
VERY unusual to hear Hank sing a traditional folk song. Hank was the reason I learned to play guitar as a kid. I got a guitar one Christmas and my Mom had 2 Hank Williams songbooks from her own earlier aborted attempt to learn to play. She had some of Hank's albums and the rest kind of took care of itself.
Hank Williams is the king of true country/honky tonk music. He's also the king of love/heartbreak songs. Nothing better to listen to when you've got the lovesick blues.
@kev20706 Could there be a strange "Family Guy"/Hank Williams connection? (Oh God . . . now I'm hearing that stupid "Peter Griffin" laugh in my head . . . "hehhehhehhehheheh . . . " Oh my God, make it stop! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!! XD
Damn...too bad Audrey had to be on this one, hell...it might have been another big Hit, for old...Hank! LOL. Untill she opened her mouth, the song was really sounding great! LOL.
This nothing least than a historic recording. One for preserving the old time version of how the sung was song by the average people. Two, for show casing the power and realness of Hank as performer. He gave 100 % in it. A rare glimce into the era, and a rare case where is wife singing actually complimented the song
@pattypork We sang it too when I was in second grade, in 1972! The rest of it goes: "It roll 'cross the table and onto the floor.And them my poor meatball rolled out of the door. It went down the sidewalk and under a bush,and now my poor meatball is nothin' but mush." (And then a coda set to a tune that isn't part of the original song.) "So if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese, hold on to your meatball and don't ever sneeze!"
wowowowowowowow ive listen to hank all my 44years never heard this song sung by him, it is fantastic.Thank you for the post.I am a man and i can tear up to hank even without a drink hahahah.
In that case, I have some good news for you, in fact for most of those who have commented on this. This track along with several others ( 16 in total I think but not certain ) have now been officially released after many years of legal wrangling. It is on Amazon for sure, and most probably most major shops and sites.
@kelfid well i HAVE had a drink and i'm cryin but thats what the booze does i guess. it's brought to light some issues and gosh at the moment i feel hurt and mopey but this track is medicine for my soul
@kelfid well have another my freind, just don't tell the paster you might learn more than you'd care to know.that bottle of water the reverend drinks thru out his sermon is not water,its vodga.praise jesus .yes hank williams sure had a way of making a grown man weep outloud.
Wow it sounds like he put 100% into this song. He has a powerful voice I love. I heard this song last night and have been singing ever scince I love. wow wow wow wow wow wow
Wow! Hearing this brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. I used to sing this with my grandmother when I was a little boy. She died 28 years ago last Friday.(4-4-1980) Thank you for posting.
I heard that Hank wanted to sing this as he heard it as a child, and not the polished up version. Good for us. It is pure real emotion done by Hank. Also, the only time I ever heard his wife actually help a song. This is one that will go to the vaults and be played far in the future to reveal the era and the amazing talent of Hank Williams.
Thanks for the song. I had this song on tape years ago and have lost it. I was born in the same county as Hank and have some of his personal items. Thanks again for this country treasure from the one and only.
I've always known that these Mother's Best shows were out there, but have been tied up in litigation. I hope more come out because this is a great reservoir of Hank Williams treasures. Thanks.
my mother and father grew up with hank in georgina ala. he and dad were drinking buddies..it got the best of both of them..may they all rest in peace

Miss Audrey was the only woman who sounded like she belonged
when she and Hank did a duet. Yes i've heard others ,but Miss Audrey
is the best and if you dont believe listen to them do "Dear Brother".Her vocals
have been kicked from stem to gudgeon, but damn i love them. Hank needs
no praise,, he was only perfect.
