If you've got the answer, honey, I've got the time.

I am looking for a recording of Hank Williams, Sr. doing the song "If You've Got The Money (I've Got The Time)." I have exhausted all the resources I can think of. Anyone out there have a clue?

koroshiya, that is, in fact, Lefty Frizzel. I don't know what idiot uploaded that to Grooveshark as Hank, but it's not.

I have The Complete Hank Williams, and there's no version of it on there.

Just a point of order, Hank died in 1953 (barely), not 1951. However, Lefty toured with Hank, so it would have been a bit gauche for Hank to record a cover.

The encyclopedic (and engrossing) Hank Williams: The Biography, by Escott, has only one hit for "got the time," noting that Lefty Frizell's "If You've Got the Money, I've Got The Time" shared the topselling spot along with Hank's "Moanin' the Blues" at the end of the year. No other mention, not in the Sonography either.
