The song "Troopers Hollar" by Hank Williams III is about a man running his dog in the Tennessee holler, and listening to what the dog is saying. The man's dog, named Trooper, has caught a big coon, and the man can hear the dog expressing his satisfaction with the catch. The song also implies that Trooper is eager to mate with a female dog. The lyrics suggest that if someone were to step on the man's land, Trooper would act as a protector and warn them to leave. The man also mentions hitting the "shine" (moonshine) again, implying that he is a moonshiner. Overall, the song paints a picture of a rural, outdoorsy lifestyle, where running dogs and hunting are a significant part of the culture. The song celebrates the relationship between a man and his dog and the joys of life in the Tennessee holler.
