This day in music history.

Although the audience loved him the management was not happy with his drinking. By October of 1952, Williams was fired from the Grand Ole Opry and told not to return until he was sober, he never returned.
Your Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave) by Hank Williams
You wore out a brand new trunk
Packin' and un-packin' your junk
Your daddy's mad; He's done got pee-eeved
You're Gonna Change or I'm a-gonna leave.
You're gonna change your way of livin'
Change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you oughten too
Your daddy's mad; He's done got pee-eeved
You're Gonna Change or I'm a-gonna leave.
This ain't right and that is wrong
You just keep naggin', all the day long
Its gotta stop, I don't mean please
Now, You're Gonna Change or I'm a-gonna leave.
The way to keep a woman happy
And make her do what's right
Is love her ev'ry mornin', bawl her out at night
Your daddy's mad; He's done got pee-eeved
Now, You're Gonna Change or I'm a-gonna leave.
Ev'ry time you get mad
You pack your rags and go back to dad
You tell him lies he don't belie-ieve
Now, You're Gonna Change or I'm a-gonna leave.
