I grew up on this music my Daddy drank a lot when I was young and this is what he played when he came home drunk R.I.P. Dad I still listen to the same music you did.. George Jones,Charlie Pride,Hank Jr,Loretta Lynn,and the list goes on...R.I.P. Mr Williams your music will live on forever as your son said in Standing In The Shadows..
I was born in 1951, so I never had the chance to see him in person, but I have listened to him for most or my 70 years. I sang his songs out loud in my youth and love being able to hear him whenever I want to
might I suggest that you try looking up the country music from Newfoundland I think you will find some of the good of country music being preformed by there country artist
Its a shame some people has to use this type of language on a puplic post board.. YES, there are a lot of us old people who loves this kind of music. RIP Hank.
Ron, sometimes you have to get their attention, Life is not golden and if language offends you or you are To prude to except reality then you are an old fuck! I appreciate honesty as long as it's honest, I don't give a fuck! if you are prude and cant handle reality! Life is not perfect, life actually sucks! Wow! just realized Ronny boy died years past. Peace and blessings.

March 2022 I am still listening to Hank SR ,My 19 year old son in the US Army was raised on Hank and still listening to real country music. Also my 6 and 2 year olds have been listening to Hank SR.When Hank comes on they stop and look like they are in awe...
Back in 2007 (i was 19), I visited my brother in South Carolina when he was living with his, then, wife's family. My brother's father-in-law sat me down in the old southern fashion and gave me a 5 hour lecture on country music, real country music. Came back to Los Angeles with a whole new knowledge of music that, at that time, radio nor tv will ever show me. RIP Terry...because of you, i listen to this legend to this day🍻
Hank as far as im concerned is the greatest singer to ever walk this earth--I also consider Merle Haggard to be the 2nd best to ever walk this earth. Now this is my opinon only--I am 76 years old--I have seen them all come and go--But Hank is more popular than ever--ty
I’ve listened to this? Man? Who has made many days of my life , well it’s hard for me to put into words! As a child, listening to Hanks music? Then I was sent to Vietnam? And many times as I sit in my D7 , cutting the jungle down in a country 10 thousand miles from home! I’d sing Hanks songs to take my. Mind from the next snipers round That may take my life? Hank is the Best
I grew up around a Vetnam heavy equipment operator and he said the thing . Thank you for all you and family have given so i can be free to listen to this Beautiful Music.
Hank Williams is one of my favorite singer song writers I have every album he made Im 37 now I was born in the wrong generation cause Hank is what country music should be I think
I visit Hank and Mrs. Audrey quiet often I live 10 minutes from the cemetary, I like to take my old guitar and do a few songs with them, I've been told that is so stupid but I enjoy the visits, yes that's one man I wish that I could have met. RIP my friend.
i was born in 1984,but thank god that my dad saw in his awesome wisdom to lay the hank on me.which inspired me to pick up the guitar at 9 yrs old,and i haven't put it down yet.thanks dad......and hank
I believe that he loved the average person. I think that he saw people everyday and sympathized with their struggles. He felt and knew pain but he didn't stop there, he saw it in a million other faces and maybe felt like he could be proof that someone who doesn't know you could be on your side.
@QuibloGamingStudios I'm 18 and not even originally from the US and I love this kind of music! I hate the new pop sounding country that is popular however these old artists like Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie, Roger Miller, etc. that actually would sing with passion they are truly amazing
It's Amazing how a young talented singer can have this much affect on people..To this day I might add..He was that great and no ONE will ever be better than him..He singed from the Heart we can relate too..Thank You Hank..One day I hope to hear you in person in that Great place above the Clouds..
@@neilhack6749 Yes I miss it Neil, Today's country is a Insult to the Country music Industry..Nashville isn't country anymore..It's a town that will let rock and roll in the Ryman..
The greatest Country music and writer that ever lived. This song is from his Luke the Drifter Album. It is so true and very sad like many of his great songs. I love this song and have listened to it for a lot of years. Hard to beat but anything Hank did would be hard or impossible to beat. The best is just the best.
To me Hank Williams is one of the best ever lived a song from the heart a song about life have you met people that wasn't even born in his time today here in this music understand something that they missed out on I'm so sorry to Hank died so young he had much more to give us an offer God bless you honey thank you for being here I was well blessed that I was born into time to hear you keep on doing what you do best hunt God bless Charles charleswood wood from Macon Georgia Macon Georgia
How was he able to do so much in such a Sadly short career? This is absolutely the most beautiful song to see what i have seen in the clouds lately. It really is sad. I believe there are several undertones in this. Like the stuff that goes on in the upper class elite circles. Like nazzi pedophilia cloning programs incest etc. And how the people with more money never have happiness.
hello hank williams channel I am the first fan of hank williams sr South American from Cali Valle del Cauca in Colombia my name is JAIRO ANDRES and I am 23 years old
I guess you can say i undersytand how Hank feels, i definitly know how Hank Jr feels being that my Dad was a very well respected and loved outlaw. I took a lot of hell sharing his name! been busted for things i never did! and had some great praises just for being his son. I know how it feels for people to say "I sure hope you are like your daddy when you grow up" and others say with hatred in their voice "your gonna be just like your daddy" In loving memory Michael Lee McKemy (aka) Scutter.
Luke The Drifter is pure poetry. When Hank was sober he was a one of a kind artist. Alas, he was afflicted with addiction and it ruined him. His run was brilliant, troubled, and short. His legend and legacy has only continued to grow since his death.
Let me leave my comment here that it may go down on record. Monari loved Hank Williams, no question. I hope to meet Hank that morning when I get before my master's bouquet 💐.
I knew I was gunna break down and it didnt take long .. theres always at least one verse that speaks right to me like my grandpa giving me shit, but saying it's ok
+John Nunn The good die young, don't they. The one artist that is within comparison(as far as how good the music is; stylistically it's hard to be more different) of Hank Williams that didn't die young is Johnny Cash. Jimmie Rodgers is the other one within comparison, and he died when he was 35 years old in 1933(from Tuberculosis). Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams both had 6 year recording careers ending in their death(Jimmie Rodgers from 1927 through 1933; Hank Williams mid 1946 through New Year's day 1953)
John Nunn because he was great don't u he couldnt be an addict to. He was on morphine and a sedatives and alcohol with that cocktail he had a heart attack. Such a shame with a great voice and previsions. I would give bout anything in this world 2 have been able 2 meet him great singer n songwriter
Justin Bester Hank was only in country music from 1948 to New Year's Eve 1952. They list it as New Year's Day but it takes a little while for Rigamortis to set in so. But u can Google it n see I did other night cause I wanted to see how many song Hank write n in all it was 167 songs he wrote not counting the 1s Jr found in attic. Sorry but with lung and throat cancer I have only time 4 treatments n looking up stuff n like Hank ask waiting for angel of death but thank u for letting me share n God Bless y'all even it's 2 late 4 me I still believe in my Lord and Savior Jesus
"This song was written in 1895...Don't you know that??" "Thats 57,,,56 yrs ago aint it!""" Making this recording from 1951... Wow talk about a paradox..Even more staggering is its now 2016 making the 51 version to the present older than Hanks reference of the 1895 year the song was written! Boggles the mind!!!
He didn''t, it's a traditional song written at the end of the 19th century, Woody Guthrie did also his version in the 40's i guess, he just wrote the part of the last picture of the soldier in Korea. Hank absolutely nailed it with his interpretation, his heartful voice it's perfect for this little gem of compassion and brotherhood and he didn't even sing except for the chorus just one time, mesmerizing to say the least. This recording in particular is pure gold, i much prefer this live version to the studio one in 1952 for the Luke the Drifter LP.
I believe Hank Williams Senior because I can feel it and his voice and I relate because I believe I have a tortured soul too
I believe Hank has a tortured soul also
With the Vietnam War burned into my mind? We all bear wounds from life’s other side,!waiting our last car ride
Saddest song I ever heard by the best Country artist I ever heard.
I grew up on this music my Daddy drank a lot when I was young and this is what he played when he came home drunk R.I.P. Dad I still listen to the same music you did.. George Jones,Charlie Pride,Hank Jr,Loretta Lynn,and the list goes on...R.I.P. Mr Williams your music will live on forever as your son said in Standing In The Shadows..
wish you the best my friend
2023 guy who likes hank more than almost everything on the radio these days
I was born in 1951, so I never had the chance to see him in person, but I have listened to him for most or my 70 years. I sang his songs out loud in my youth and love being able to hear him whenever I want to
Now if you like "real" country music, you will not find any better than this. Nothing like it today.
+Glenda Presley absolutely. todays music isn't even made with instruments.
might I suggest that you try looking up the country music from Newfoundland I think you will find some of the good of country music being preformed by there country artist
Saddest song from the saddest man I ever heard. God Bless Hank Sr.
a computer is an instrument@@dirtyworks13
He left us with the best songs and lyrics no other man can come close to
Its a shame some people has to use this type of language on a puplic post board.. YES, there are a lot of us old people who loves this kind of music. RIP Hank.
heylll grow up some day like my aunt joe used to say
Ron, sometimes you have to get their attention, Life is not golden and if language offends you or you are To prude to except reality then you are an old fuck! I appreciate honesty as long as it's honest, I don't give a fuck! if you are prude and cant handle reality! Life is not perfect, life actually sucks! Wow! just realized Ronny boy died years past.

@slh Did you literally just comment to someone you think is dead?
Congratulations sir/mam, most pathetic comment I have ever read on youtube
.
There are plenty of us not so much older who love and appreciate the brilliance of this poet - so far ahead of his time!
Amen
I loved all of Hank Williams music & this one is very special to me!! RIP😪😪🙏💞
Hank " Luke the Drifter " Williams . The greatest country artist to ever walk God's green earth .
That's a fact, Possum is the 2nd best!

You know quillty when you hear and see!! No one will ever match his song writing and singing!

He was good , but he wasn't Hank .
If Hank wouldn't have came a long country music is still in the hills of Ky.
The Greatest Singer/songwriter of Real Traditional Country Music that has ever lived. His music will never die
100% Correct
The LATE,GREAT ONE AN ONLY MR.HANK WILLIAMS. SINGS AT GODS GOLDEN GATE OF LIFE

Hanks a great country singer Most of the greats are gone
The Best Mr Hank Williams Sr. I just love hearing him sing.a picture from life s other side. gives me chills

Just goes to show, even a small child knows great music when they hear it !

Hard to believe 1895 was only 56 years ago.
Pendejo xd
1895 was as recent to Hank Williams that day as the Beatles are to us today.
Hank as far as im concerned is the greatest singer to ever walk this earth--I also consider Merle Haggard to be the 2nd best to ever walk this earth. Now this is my opinon only--I am 76 years old--I have seen them all come and go--But Hank is more popular than ever--ty
John Newsome you got it!!!! Great taste.

Thank You for your Service to Country 🙏🙏🙏,
Thank you so much for each and every day you and your family gave us we can still be free to listen to Hank and Music all together.
I grew up around a Vetnam heavy equipment operator and he said the thing . Thank you for all you and family have given so i can be free to listen to this Beautiful Music.
Hank Williams is one of my favorite singer song writers I have every album he made Im 37 now I was born in the wrong generation cause Hank is what country music should be I think
This is really a sad, spooky song I found in a hymnbook, believe it or not. Sure has a message though.
one of the greatest Country songs ever by the greatest singer ever
Couldn't agree with you more brother
hankwillians
thank you
He knows me thank you Jesus and my home
What more can be said of the Greatest Country Music Star of all Time. Hank took up the mantle of Country Music and took it to its epitomy
I visit Hank and Mrs. Audrey quiet often I live 10 minutes from the cemetary, I like to take my old guitar and do a few songs with them, I've been told that is so stupid but I enjoy the visits, yes that's one man I wish that I could have met. RIP my friend.
i was born in 1984,but thank god that my dad saw in his awesome wisdom to lay the hank on me.which inspired me to pick up the guitar at 9 yrs old,and i haven't put it down yet.thanks dad......and hank

this brings chills to me no other great singer like ole Hank Sr.
As a combat wounded Vietnam War veteran .I know that feeling
Only those, who laid there in that jungle,so far from home.from family and friends, know when our blood ran cold
There is no great singer , A song that can bring even strong people to tears.
The Best...RIP Hank
Hank never knew what old age was like.
Every man and his family should listen to this song
A True Legend. still listening to in 2022
Hank will be singing for the King, when we all get home.
It's Amazing how a young talented singer can have this much affect on people..To this day I might add..He was that great and no ONE will ever be better than him..He singed from the Heart we can relate too..Thank You Hank..One day I hope to hear you in person in that Great place above the Clouds..
Dont you miss REAl country music
@@neilhack6749 Yes I miss it Neil, Today's country is a Insult to the Country music Industry..Nashville isn't country anymore..It's a town that will let rock and roll in the Ryman..
There aint but few songs of Hank's that don't touch me in ome heartfelt way, but this one hits really close to home!
Amen.
Breaks me everytime i hear this but i just keep playing it
this reminds of my dad he used to sing these songs to us i miss him so . so i play these songs in remembance of him
Same here
I'm not quite 40 yet. So grateful that my father turned me on to this music!
always has been the best
yep most of em gone now what a place heaven must be
I hope there really is a hillbilly heaven
Yes what a place it must be heaven has so many great ones
There are certain criteria for passing through those pearly gates. Singing and writing songs is not enough.
Automatic to like any song from Hank Williams before the music even starts. Know words of wisdom will be spoken and sang.
Word's can describe. 😢😢❤

He was and is the greatest

Sorry for your loss 😥
If there were cellphones with internet & all the apps in Hank William's time,why he'd of never written songs.
He’d have written about what’s trending.
"This song was written in 1895...Don't you know that??" "Thats 57,,,56 yrs ago aint it!""" Making this recording from 1951... Wow talk about a paradox..Even more staggering is its now 2016 making the 51 version to the present older than Hanks reference of the 1895 year the song was written! Boggles the mind!!!
boggles mind how real it was in 1895 so much more real in 2016
And how your comment is 2 years old
A few added verses to update it a little and Hank made something great even greater. He was good at that.
I was gobsmacked when learned when this was written
I have this song, in fact I have the c.d. with the same picture on it
Live and learn. I first heard this performed by the Seldom Scene, many decades ago. Until today, I had no idea Hank wrote it.
He didn''t, it's a traditional song written at the end of the 19th century, Woody Guthrie did also his version in the 40's i guess, he just wrote the part of the last picture of the soldier in Korea. Hank absolutely nailed it with his interpretation, his heartful voice it's perfect for this little gem of compassion and brotherhood and he didn't even sing except for the chorus just one time, mesmerizing to say the least. This recording in particular is pure gold, i much prefer this live version to the studio one in 1952 for the Luke the Drifter LP.

Know it from a beautiful Kris Kristofferson cover. He adored and probably still is adoring him. Beautiful sad song.
