I am one of the two "dislikes" above, but it has nothing to do with Hank Williams, whom I greatly admire, but rather with the fact that the recording is cut off at the end. This abrupt ending ruins the listening experience. Sometimes, if the recording is on an old 78 RPM, and there wasn't room to finish the song, this will happen. In that case the uploader should let us know it is not his(her) fault.

According to Don Helms, Hanks Steel guitar player.. The band was on the road driving somewhere between Little Rock, Arkansas and Greenville,Misssissippi Hank wrote this song and he came up with the first line" Today i passed you on the street " and asked the band what would be a good line to add there and Don Helms said" and I smelled your rotten feet" LMAO

When it comes to a Hank. Its always in his TITLES! Hank could write TITLES (like this song),and all other writers would have to take "second fiddle" in coming up with their own ideas. It was always impossible (even in his day) to rise above him or duplicate his simplicity and his genius. There will never be another Hank to nail a song or a title in the way that he did. Those titles have already been taken by him, Who hasn't grown up (myself included) pickin' and singin' a "Hank Williams" tune.
The best songs written in the last one hundred years were written by this man. If you know what genius is, then you understand the difference between this and everything else. If you don't, then let me tell you, this is it.

I agree this is a great song, the lyric stands alone but the music is also great for a three chord song - Hank stands as the greatest.
