I%27m So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams Songfacts. 1  One of the most heart-rending songs ever recorded, it was one of many songs Williams wrote to express his crippling gloom.
(From Hank Williams Jr.âs song, Living Proof.) During most of his young life the unhappy answer for the only son of Country Musicâs greatest star was yes. Hank Jr. was 3 when his father died from liquor and speed at age 29. The boy began touring in 1957, conjuring up his fatherâs spirit on stage with imitations of his C & W classics like Your Cheatinâ Heart and Iâm So Lonesome I Could Cry. It was a life bereft of either professional or personal satisfaction.
