Actually Michial, the song was written by Hank for his friend 'Big' Bill Lister. Who recorded it in the 1950's. He also, thankfully, kept the acetate disc that Hank recorded it on. The only known copy of Hank singing the song. He rediscovered it in his attic in 1988 and took it to Hank Williams, Jr. who decided to do it as a duet using the Hank, Sr. vocals. So its Hank Williams release was in 1989. Furthermore, the video won a grammy award that year for 'Best Video'. Not many artist have pulled off a major award 36 years after they died!
