This is depressing.  Because it was written by the Carter family.  So this is super hardcore country.

The Carter family version, which is Depression Incarnate.  Drunk son, dead mama, THAT'S Country.

Johnny Cash does a peppy version because he was awesome.

This is a Louvin Brothers song about sucking it up and taking it like a MAN.  I assume they recorded this in 1956 because the Carter family recorded this in 1934.

===============================

The Carter family recorded this song about sucking it up and taking it like a WOMAN.

================================

Of course this song written in 1874 and first recorded in 1926 by Luther B. Clarke and Blue Ridge Highballers, the first truly great name in country music history.  HIGHBALLERS~!  They add an extra song at the end because its what you did if its the 1920s and you're a fucking Highballer.
