How best to express your regret over the loss of a girl? Well, you could drown yourself in the river, but if you've got Hank Williams' luck it’s probably dried up since there’s a drought on, too. Which means your only choice is to howl, stretching the words "long" and "gone" out into 10 mournful syllables (go ahead, count 'em). You will never laugh at a yodeling cowboy again.
