"Message to my Mother" is a song written by Hank Williams. It was recorded as a demo in 1951 and released by MGM Records in 1955, two years after its composer's death.[1] It is notable for its length, clocking in at just over four minutes, which is unusual for a Williams song. The song tells the story of a young man on his deathbed imploring those around him to let his long-suffering mother know he has been saved. The song displays a clear Roy Acuff influence, whose songs with similar themes had a profound influence on a young Williams.
