Hank Williams...

[whiskeytown]

The father of honky tonk - the legend...the drifter

He never gets enough respect - use this thread to give him some...

"My hair is still curly, my eyes are still blue
so why don't you love me like you used to do"

[jesusarenque]

I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are spoke that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind,and melt your cold cold heart

You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life,to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you,the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Awesome.

A great discography...

I give him respect...for creating Hank Williams Jr. or BOCEPHUS.

[RunDownHouse]

Alone and foresaken
By fate and by man
Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand

Haunting stuff. Great for drinking whiskey.

"Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry"
