Just heard a wonderful history of I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and Hank Williams, with live interviews and a curious distinction between the way he sang the lyrics of one line and the way they are printed in sheet music:

The lines "have you ever a robin grieve/ When leaves begin to die" is followed in print by: "That means he's lost the will to live.."

The historian who spoke, pointed out that Hank sings, "Like me he's lost the will to live.."

I've always sung it the way I heard him sing it, but the DT has the printed version. How have you worded it?

Here's the blurb from NPR. I will post the link to the archive as soon as they put it up:

"Monday, on NPR's All Things Considered the story of the song, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. The Hank Williams song is one of the NPR-100 -- the 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century. Hank Williams -- and the news -- Monday on All Things Considered from National Public Radio news."
