I have an old 45 of it done by Rip Edwards ar Ripcord Records in VAnWa in the 60s, I think Gene Brown might have been in on it.
I didn't know myself where it originally came from.

Recorded by Wade Ray circa 1952, and by Sue Thompson and Tommy Duncan within a year or two later.
I think it's a Cindy Walker composition--she recorded her own version in the 1960s |

| First of all thanks again to all of you and especially Rob Parker who tabbed out his arrgmt. You fellows really shake up an old timers memory. In my archives, I have Bill Staffords recording, a 78 by Wade Ray, the flip side is Things that Might Have been; Jim Reeves 45. When I was in Frisco in early 1950 I subbed in the Dude Martin band and Sue Thompson would sing this song. I guess I could not remember it for looking at Sue. She was a cute little thing. Now, if I could only remember how I usually sign off. Is it cj, ok,????????? |

Hi Mitch,
You are right on the money it was written by that lovely lady from Mexia, Texas. Gene Autry also had a very nice version that also charted mildly about the same time.

There's a fine instrumental version on the Two Southern Gentlemen cd by Bill Stafford and Herby Wallace.
