HANK WILLIAMS SR HUMOR:

HANK WILLIAMS famous KETCHUP DIET can be found on this webpage.

HANK WILLIAMS loved “TOMATOES”, all kinds, if you get my drift.

Not many people know this: HANK WILLIAMS was the first "ROCK" STAR. He was a major influence on ELVIS, DION, and hundreds of other singers, both country and pop. As a songwriter, he is a legend, nearly a thousand singers [not a typo] have recorded his songs. He has never been matched for his mournful moaning the blues love songs.

Back in the 1940s, Hank Williams was singing and playing high-energy, upbeat music in the Honky Tonks, and he was dancing the “be-bop-bee” long before you and me.

Hank Williams did NOT pre-date the birth of rock & roll. He was in the delivery room.

THE HANK WILLIAMS DIET & ELVIS DIET:

Hank knew how to lose weight. ELVIS knew how to gain weight. However, they are both GOOD EXAMPLES of BAD EXAMPLES in those categories.

THE ELVIS DIET:

FUNNY HANK WILLIAMS SR HUMOR AND FUNNY HANK WILLIAMS SR JOKES:

HANK WILLIAMS HUMOR, JOKES, WISDOM AND DOWN-HOME SAYINGS:

Besides being one of the greatest Country & Western singers and songwriters, he was quite a comedian and down-home philosopher. If you don't believe me, listen to his recitations as LUKE THE DRIFTER.

HANK WILLIAMS WORDPLAY:

DJ Cottonseed Clark asked Hank Williams why the lyrics to his songs were so sad.

Hank Williams answered, “Well, Cottonseed, I guess I always have been a sadist.”

WAS HANK WILLIAMS THE FIRST ROCK STAR?

 Not many people know this but the first rocker was probably Hank Williams. He recorded the song 'Rockin’ Money' in 1949, long before we heard of Elvis.

Listen to the song and hear Hank Williams sing, “I love to rock, yeah, rock.

Baby, rock, let's rock.”

 You’re welcome.

HANK WILLIAMS SR. WIT:

A HANK WILLIAMS WITTY DITTY:

WSM radio announcer: Whatcha got for us tonight, Hank?

 Hank Williams: I've got a brand new song that ain't never been aired.

WSM radio announcer: It ain't never been aired?

HANK WILLAMS jokes: It might need air.

HANK WILLIAMS JOKES ABOUT HIS SONGWRITING:

Hank Williams was a lot smarter than people give him credit for. Even though he was a serious and adept song writer, that didn’t stop him from poking fun at his songwriting.

As he introduced his “NOBODY’S LONESOME FOR ME” song on one on his Mother’s Best (flour) radio shows he joked, “I had a brain concussion and I wrote this one.”

HANK WILLIAMS SR. doesn't just sing sad "heart" songs, check out his "funny-bone" and novelty songs.

HANK WILLIAMS LYRICS:

"I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive"

Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kinda mad

I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad. 

No matter how I struggle and strive

I'll never get out of this world alive.

GOOD-HEARTED HANK WILLIAMS:

At the close of one of his radio shows, Hank told his listeners, “BE GOOD TO YOURSELF.”

WISE WORDS OF HANK WILLIAMS:

At the end of his radio show he would say: Remember one thing, will ya.

Don't ever worry about nothing, 'cause ain't nothing gonna be alright nohow.

JEST FOR LAUGHS:

YOU ARE NOT AS SMART AS YOU THINK!

I bet I can make a monkey out of you!

As Hank Williams use to say: Now when you get to thinking you’re really smart, there's always somebody smarter then you.

Or as my father use to say:

EVERYBODY KNOWS MORE THAN SOMEBODY,

BUT NOBODY KNOWS MORE THAN EVERYBODY.

Did you know that humans eat more bananas than monkeys?

It’s true! When was the last time you ate a monkey?

I’m jest monkeying around.

Hank Williams referred to his wife Audrey as his “War Department.”

Interpret that however you want.

Yours truly, Daniel Worona: I am the “Wor” Department.

HANK WILLIAMS NOVELTY SONGS:

"Move It On Over" is a very popular novelty song written and recorded by the country music singer-songwriter Hank Williams in 1947. The song was Hank Williams' first major hit, reaching #4 on the Billboard Singles chart. The song is considered one of the earliest examples of rock and roll music.

MOVE IT ON OVER

By Hank Williams

This song is about a husband who has stayed out all night long one too many times and is locked out of his home by his angry and frustrated wife, forced to literally sleep in the doghouse.

Here are a few of the verses.

(You can hear him sing it on YOU TUBE.)

MOVE IT ON OVER

This dog house here is mighty small

But it’s better than no house at all

So ease it on over (move it on over)

Drag it on over (move it on over)

Move over old dog cause a new dogs moving in.

She told me not to play around

But I done let the deal go down

So pack it on over (move it on over)

Tote it on over (move it on over)

Move over nice dog cause a mad dogs moving in.

She warned me once, she warned me twice

But I dont take no ones advice

So scratch it on over (move it on over)

Shake it on over (move it on over)

Move over short dog cause the tall dogs moving in.

She'll crawl back to me on her knees

I'll be busy scratching fleas

So slide it on over (move it on over)

Sneak it on over (move it on over)

Move over good dog cause a mad dogs moving in.

Remember pup, before you whine

That sides yours and this sides mine

So shove it on over (move it on over)

Sweep it on over (move it on over)

Move over cold dog cause a hot dogs moving in.

A NOVELTY SONG about a ROLY POLY KID with A BIG APPETITE:

Early 50's uptempo country/rockabilly classic by Hank Williams.

You can find it on YouTube.

ROLY POLY

As sung by HANK WILLIAMS
(Written by Elsa Doran and Sol Lake)

Roly Poly eatin' corn and taters

He's hungry every minute of the day

Roly Poly gnawin' all the biscuit

As long as he can chew it, it's okay.

He can eat an apple pie

Before a cat can wake his eye

He likes everything from a soup to hay

Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty

I'll bet he's gonna be a man someday.

Roly Poly scrambled eggs for breakfast

Had bread and jelly twenty times a day

Roly Poly will eat a hardy dinner

It takes lotta strength to run and play.

Well, he bowls up weeds and he does the chores

He runs both ways to all the stores

He works up an appetite that way

Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty

I'll bet he's gonna be a man someday.

Roly Poly eatin' corn and taters

He's hungry every minute of the day

Roly Poly gnawin' all the biscuit

And as long as he can chew it, it's okay.

He can eat an apple pie, never even bat his eye

He likes everything from a soup to hay

Roly Poly

Daddy's little fatty

I'll bet he's gonna be a man someday.

HANK WILLIAMS SR. JOKES:

HANK WILLIAMS HUMOR: “BITS AND PIECES”:

When he covers "I Can’t Tell My Heart That," he humorously criticizes its flat-vowel rhyme construction when he finishes.

CORNBALL REPARTEE AND SOUTHERNISMS DURING ONE OF HANK WILLIAMS SHOWS:

Hank: Say, Lum, did you know what Eve told Adam when he was “ribbing” her about her cookin’?”

“No, Hank, sure don’t.”

“Well, Lum, she up and said, ‘At least you cain’t compare my cookin’ to your mother’s!'”

A QUIP FROM ONE OF HANK WILLIAMS SHOWS:

“I ain’t got an enemy in the world… all my friends hate me.”

HANK WILLIAMS BAND AND NICKNAMES:

Hank gave every one of his band members a nickname. When Daniel Jack Boling filled in on rhythm guitar for the Drifting Cowboys, Hank started calling him “Beanpole,” because of his slender build. When Hank introduced him to the audience, he would say, “Here’s a fella that I have to tie a rope around his neck every time he gets in the bathtub to keep him from going down the drain.”

Don’t blame me if it’s not all that funny, blame Hank.

HANK WILLIAMS KETCHUP DIET:

Hank Williams was 6 foot tall and weighed just under 150 pounds.

He was 6’ 2” in cowboy boots and weighed 160 lbs. if you include his cowboy belt buckle.

Murrel Stansell, the owner of the Bantam Grill (in Sheveport, LA) recalls that Hank Williams loved ketchup.

“He even poured it on waffles. Stansell joked, “I wanted to stop selling him waffles. I was getting’ twenty cents for them and he would use up a whole bottle of ketchup that cost me eight or ten cents!

[NOTE: This was in the late 1940s.]

Is the HANK WILLIAMS KETCHUP DIET the secret to weight loss? Stay tuned, I will tell you more by-and-by.

So until then, bye-and-bye!

Ketchup with you later!

KETCHUP / CATCHUP TRIVIA:

Catsup was once the predominant spelling of the tomato-based condiment, but ketchup is preferred in today's English by a large margin.

None will come, and then a lot'll.

ABOUT HANK'S THINNING HAIR:

HANK'S THINNING HAIR JOKE: [Hank was rarely seen without his cowboy hat on.]

HANK: ‘Doctor, my hair keeps falling out. Have you got anything to keep it in?’

Doctor: ‘What about a cardboard box?’

HEADIN’ FOR THE LAST ROUNDUP!

HANK WILLIAMS DARK HUMOR ABOUT THE MEDICAL PROFESSION:

Hank Williams: “Ain’t no country boy ever seen a city doctor and lived to tell about it.”

DANIEL WORONA NOTE:

Most people won’t get this dark humor. He is referring to country folk who are too poor to afford a doctor, so when they are finally left with no alternative but to go see a doctor, they are usually at death’s door.

HANK WILLIAMS HUMOR "THE CUSSING BOX":

Hank Williams had a cigar box he called ‘The Cussing Box.’

He told his band, The Drifting Cowboys, "All you boys and myself, we have to clean up our language!’ When they swore, they put a quarter in the box. Once, when they were running late to a show after getting lost, Hank took out $5 and stuck it in the cuss box, saying, ‘I’m going to need every damn one of them!’”
