![“The last song I recorded with [Hank Williams, Sr.] was "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive." I remember thinking, "Hoss, you're not just jivin'," because he was so weak that all he could do was sing a few lines and then just fall in the chair.” quote by Chet Atkins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/392/chet-atkins-27820_alive_the-last-song-i-recorded-with-hank-willi_575459.jpg)
