Hank Thompson was perhaps the most popular Western swing
musician of the '50s and '60s, keeping the style alive with
a top-notch band, tremendous showmanship, and a versatility
that allowed him to expand his repertoire into romantic
ballads and hardcore honky tonk numbers. Born September 3,
1925, in Waco, TX, Henry William Thompson was the son of
immigrants from Bohemia and grew up idolizing Western swing
and country musicians like Bob Wills, Jimmie Rodgers, and
Gene Autry. He began learning harmonica and guitar as a
child, and appeared in local talent shows as a teenager,
which eventually led to his own local radio program (billed
as Hank the Hired Hand). After graduating from high school
in 1943, Thompson joined the Navy as a radio technician and
often wrote son More...
Review about Hank Thompson Great Memory | Reviewer: Beverly W.
------ About the song Glow-Worm performed by Hank Thompson
When I was a small girl, my Mom would sing this song to me (not ALL the lyrics) and I always loved it. I was reading an article in National Geographic regarding fireflies and suddenly the song came back to me. The song is wonderful and I am so happy I found this site and the lyrics. I'm sending copies to my sisters tomorrow. Our Mom passed in 2003, but she would have really been pleased to see all the lyrics to the song. Thanks for the memory!!
it was a lady who played it on the grand ole opry.
her first name was dale or dell, but i cannot remember her last name. i want the lyrics, do you have them?

------ About artist/band Hank Thompson
I have loved your music since the 70's. I have seen you several times in concert, the last time in Bandera,Tx and you where wonderful as usual.
I was wondering if you have ever been married? Are you still married? If not I want to marry you. Even if you are 30 years older than me, you are the handsomest and sexiest man alive.

------ About the song Four In The Morning performed by Hank Thompson
Unbelievable song from a great writer and artist Jerry Chesnut. Where are more like this one??
I think I remember that some time in the late '40s or early '50s a female singer or duo made a huge hit out of this song, but I can't remember the artist. I know it wasn't Hank Thompson, at least I don't think it was a guy.
I would love to see you entertain again.
Can I get a list of your tour plans. I reside in Utah but am very close to Las Vegas and Mesquite,Nv.Do you ever put a show on there?

------ About artist/band Hank Thompson
I started listening to Hank when i was like 3 years old or younger when my dad would get up to go to work of a morning he would turn the record player on so i could go back to sleep and I'm a teenager now and I would rather listen to his singing than a lot of the newer singers! There will never be singers as great as Hank Thompson Hank WIlliams Sr. Conway twitty and George Jones.
I have loved Hank's singing since the 50's. I saw him in person in 1966 (i believe) at the Senate Inn in Maryland. I saw him recently at an auditorium in Weirsdale, Fl at the age of 80. He still sings great. I love him. There will never be another like ole Hank. I have been singing his songs all my life.I won a contest a long time ago singing one of his songs "Annie Over"
I try to play a little guitar from time to time and I have come across this song and I am trying to figure out the CORRECT melody for the song. In other words I would like to find out how it sounds so that I may be able to play it. I am capable of making my own notes for the song and probably nobody would know the difference but if there would be someone who could help me with Mother Queen of my Heart, I would appreciate it. powderkeg99@yahoo.com
I have this Hank Thompson song on one of my albums (Not a CD) and this song seems to be so touching and so true to what we so often do in life.
To me, nobody sings this particular song like Hank Thompson.
