It doesn't get any better than Hank Williams.
It's been downhill all the way since Hank Williams.

COLD, COLD HEART
Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I [D] tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every [A7] dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil [D] scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us [D7] so far a-[G] part
Why [A7] can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold, Cold [D]
Heart.
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your Cold, Cold Heart.
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life, to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold, Cold Heart.
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold, Cold Heart.
Hank was Elvis Presley and Bill Haley, ten years ahead of his time:

Oh Lefty was there, yeah.
But he was always trumped by the ghost of Hank Williams.

What is this?
What kind of a civilisation would produce a song like this?
Only a shit civilisation would prompt a poet to produce such a song as
this.
What the fuckin jayzizz are you doing, you bums, if your civilisation
prompts your poets to produce a song like this?
What the fuckin jayzizz is wrong with you bums out there, if your
poets produce such a song as this?

We've had eleven thousand years of shite.
Let me take you back to the Garden.
