Hank Williams Sr. - Your Cheatin' Heart

So the news media lies to us on purpose.  Here's a news flash: there have been country music songs about liars and cheaters basically since there's been country music.  This was perhaps Hank's biggest hit, recorded in his last recording session before his death.  It sings the song of crashing media TV ratings and reduced subscribership.  See ya, suckas!


Your Cheatin' Heart (Songwriter: Hank Williams, Sr.)

Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

When tears come down
Like falling rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

Your cheatin' heart
Will pine some day
And crave the love
You threw away
The time will come
When you'll be blue
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

When tears come down
Like falling rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

Your Skeetin' Heart - Nick Rivers

Definitely the best adaptation.
