And 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry', the big hits. 'Rocking Chair Money' is a nice little thing that's fun to hear. But just about anything, really --- the man was a marvel.

he sounds too blue to fly'

'The Hillbilly Shakespeare', made Bartlett's Familiar Quotations with that stanza.

In addition to the ones mentioned, "Move It On Over", "Cold Cold Heart", "Honky-Tonkin', "Lovesick Blues", "Settin' the Woods On Fire", "You Win Again", "I Saw the Light". One of the best songwriters ever, and among the first country artists to be influenced by black musical genres including blues and gospel.

He was simply Hank Williams then. I only recently found out that he didn't write one of my favorites, "Settin' the Woods on Fire".

Also, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”. And almost anything else he did. The Eternal Hank.

Some of my favorite songs that he composed are "I'm so Lonesome I could Cry", "Lovesick Blues", and "Cold Cold Heart". And I love "Lost Highway", though Hank didn't write that one.

When I was a little kid, my mom's stepbrother would grab me up and dance me around the room, singing that song.

I haven't listened to him in a very long time (used to be one of my dad's favorites).

I Can’t Help It. I’d say they’re my favorites but I like most all his stuff. He puts so much emotion into his songs.
