And of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz!“

„Of course I am downcast and tremble
with pity for my state
when old age and wrinkles cover me,


when Eros flies about
and I pursue the glorious young.
Pick up your lyre


and sing to us of her who wears
violets on her breasts. Sing especially
of her who is wandering.“

„[The country singer] sings more sincere than most entertainers, because the hillbilly was raised tougher than most entertainers. The people who has been raised something like the way the hillbilly has, knows what he is singing about and appreciates it. For what he is singing, is the hopes, and prayers, and dreams and experiences of what some call the "common people." I call them the "best people," because they are the ones that the world is made up most of. They're really the ones who make things tick, wherever they are in this country, or in other country.“
