| Does anyone have this song downloaded and could send it to me.I think Gene Watson did a version of it but it's not on any of my albums and I can't find it on WinMx. |

| Forumite Bill Stafford in Gulfport, MS, has recorded it as an instrumental and likely has the Wade Ray original, but I'm only guessing on that one. |

| Johnny Cox has a great rendition of it on his "Ballads, Shuffles and Swing" and I think he used Curly Chalker's guitar on it. |

| Big E has a great version on one of the Swing series records. Great singing and killer steel. |

Don,
If you are interested in the Gene Watson version - it is on the album "Should I Come Home" from 1979 (Capitol ST 11947). It is a very unusal version because it is played as a strict country ballad, no swing. Great version, though, Sonny Garrish plays some beautiful Steel on it.
Regards, Walter

| Sammi Smith also recorded "Heart Of A Clown" and sang the fire out of it. Her version was slower, not a swing version. |
