Hank Williams fue uno de los músicos más influyentes del siglo xx. En su corta pero exitosa carrera fue determinante para modernizar el country y para ser una referencia en el futuro rock and roll.
Nació en 1923, y ya a finales de los 40, con poco más de 20 años era todo un icono del country y la absoluta estrella del Grand Ole Opry, el programa de radio más famoso del género, donde todos los sábados por la noche desfilaban los grandes.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Year Blues - Hank Williams ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
E Now I've been married about six months, A Only six months you see, B7 The first three months, was all ok, E But the last three is killin' me, E My wife began her hissin', cut down on her kissin', A And then she failed to shine my shoes, B7 My shirts they came up wrinkled,
My pants with dirt were sprinkled, E And then I took the first year blues.
E Well then she started naggin',
She left the sink a'saggin', A With dishes piled up high, B7 No food upon the table, she said if she was able, E She'd cook something bye and bye, E Then I began to wonder, if I had made a blunder, AB7 When I said I do, she must have read my thinkin', E Her eyes began to blinkin' and that gal broke into.
E Well I heard the dishes crashin', A and I began to dashin', Gettin' out of sight, B7 for right there was my honey, E On who I'd spent my money, turnin' into dynamite, E Then after she'd exploded, her meanness all unloaded, A And things began to simmer down, B7 I found myself a'bleedin', and very much a'needin', E Of stitches taken all around.
E Well then she started cryin', I felt myself a'sighin', A And then I took her in my arms, B7 I was afraid to scold her, so I just gently told her, E She didn't do a bit of harm, E Now the first six months is over, and I am much the older, A And experienced with a wife, B7 If I can stand the next six, my friends all say I'll be fixed, E To take it the rest of my life.
