Fly Trouble is a novelty song written by Fred Rose, Bunny Biggs, and Honey Wilds and recorded by country singer Hank Williams.
By September 1947, Hank Williams and Fred Rose had released five singles, the last of which, "Move It On Over," became the singer's first smash, peaking at #4.
The follow-up single, which was released while "Move It on Over" was still climbing the charts,[1] was "On the Banks of the Old Ponchartrain," with "Fly Trouble" as the B-side.
The single was a disappointment, failing to chart, and moved away from what was arguably Williams' biggest strength: his songwriting.
Although Williams would go on to record several humorous songs which showcased his dry sense of humor, "Fly Trouble" is an anomaly in his canon, as country music historian Colin Escott observes: "It seemed to signal Rose's intention of easing Hank uptown.
