Hvem sang sangen i'm so lonesome i could cry?
Hank Williams
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" er en sang skrevet og indspillet af den amerikanske countrymusik-sanger og sangskriver Hank Williams i 1949. Williams skrev oprindeligt sangen med den hensigt, at ordene skulle tales i stedet for at blive sunget, som han havde gjort på flere af sine Luke the Drifter-indspilninger. Sangen, der handler om ensomhed, var i høj grad inspireret af hans vanskelige forhold til hustruen Audrey Sheppard. Med sin stemningsfulde tekst, som f.eks. de indledende linjer "Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will/He sounds too blue to fly", er sangen blevet dækket af en lang række musikere. Under sin Aloha from Hawaii TV-special introducerede Elvis Presley den ved at sige: "Jeg vil gerne synge en sang, der er ... sandsynligvis den mest sørgelige sang, jeg nogensinde har hørt."
Hank Williams
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer-songwriter Hank Williams in 1949. Williams wrote the song originally intending that the words be spoken, rather than sung, as he had done on several of his Luke the Drifter recordings. 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. During his Aloha from Hawaii TV-special, Elvis Presley introduced it by saying, "I'd like to sing a song that's...probably the saddest song I've ever heard."
