Hank Williams died on January 1, 1953. I have always been a fan of his even when he was living, and I will be until I die.

Hank's songs and music will live on and on.
They may even live forever.
Why just a couple of weeks ago--
I heard a song of his that I had never heard before.
Hank died back the first day of 1953--
So you might expect to hear a new one for a few years more.
But it has been more than half-a-century,

After all this time his music is still as popular as when when he was living.
When Hank was living, they called him a drunk and an outlaw.
They said he would never amount to a hill of beans--
His music lives long after they are dead and forgotten.
Their's and his flesh and bones are rotten,
And still people are singing his songs.
They're singing them all day long.
