After years of prolific song-writing, recording, touring and a series of popular radio shows, Hank hits the big time in 1949 with a #1 single and a legendary debut appearance on the Grand Ol’ Opry.

Lyrics

All the cash pouring in from Lovesick Blues
Dressed the Drifting Cowboys in Nudie Suits
Hank’s star was on the rise, sure to make millions
Made me right proud to be Mrs. Hank Williams!

We’re living high on the hog,
Daddy’s bringing home the bacon
You’ve never seen the like of the public adulation!
Shows are S.R.O., everywhere we go
High on the hog, Daddy’s bringing home the bacon

You’d think the sun come up just to hear him crow
When we left the Hayride for the Opry Show
Once he took that stage, and the people went insane
We knew our lives would never be the same

We’re living high on the hog,
Daddy’s bringing home the bacon
You’ve never seen the like of the public adulation!
Shows are S.R.O., everywhere we go
High on the hog, Daddy’s bringing home the bacon

We traded in our Shreveport shotgun shack
For a Franklin Road palace, three acres out back
Two Cadillac ragtops sitting in the drive
One yellow like my hair, the other blue like my eyes!

We’re living high on the hog,
Daddy’s bringing home the bacon
You’ve never seen the like of the public adulation!
Show are S.R.O., everywhere we go
High on the hog, Daddy’s bringing home the bacon

If the good Lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise
He’ll make the Ryman spotlight every Saturday night
High on the hog, Daddy’s bringing home the bacon
