Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
OOOH, a nice sad old song from 1949; you know how much I love sad old
songs.
BONUS - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams, 1949
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_So_Lonesome_I_Could_Cry:
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is a song written and recorded
by
American
country music singer-songwriter
Hank Williams in 1949. The song about loneliness was largely
inspired by his troubled relationship with wife
Audrey Sheppard. With evocative lyrics, such as the opening lines
"Hear that lonesome
whip-poor-will/He sounds too blue to fly," the song has been
covered by a wide range of musicians. Rolling Stone ranked it #111 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It's the second oldest song on the list, and one of only two from the 1940s. |
