Hank Williams - The Blues Man Meaning

The Blues Man Lyrics

I'm just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger
To sad old songs

I'm not a walk behinder

   It very well could be about John cash and George Jones. Who lived through a fast pace life who both had women who rescued them. The two gents both were guilty of doing no shows and been sued. johnny and June definitely played a important role in Hank Jr life. This song is one of Hanks greatest.

   I don’t think it’s about Hank Williams Junior or Waylon Jennings or George Jones, lets not forget about Johnny Cash and June Carter saving him, Johnny Cash dang near died on cocaine and booze and she knew he needed help, just my thoughts, thanks

   I think this song by Hank Williams was written to his second wife, Billie Jean. Because they married in 1952 and he died in 1953, at the age of 30. The lyrics, “Hey baby I love you, Hey baby I need you” refer to her.

   I think it is about his friend Waylon Jennings and how Jesse Coulter came into his life and turned it around. True love until the end.
