Hank Williams Sr. not only was a singer but a fantastic writer. He wrote some big gospel songs as well. I came across this song a couple days ago and had never heard it before. Lloyd Green said one time that Hank Williams songs had playable melodies and I sure agree.

Hank Williams recorded all his gospel songs under the name of "Luke The Drifter".
I have tabbed out about 20-25 of Hank's gospel songs.
His most famous one was "I Saw The Light". Very Happy

You are too kind David. Joe, you are right about the title. It is something to think about. Erv, I was not aware all his gospel songs were under "Luke The Drifter".

Paul,
His gospel songs were written under his own name but
Hank's recording company didn't want him to record gospel songs under his own name.
His records were played in a lot of bars and honky-tonks. If Hank issued a new recording they were sure to play it and the last thing they expected to hear from Hank was a gospel song!
So that was the reason for "Luke The Drifter". Very Happy
