I did this song because my mother asked me to after hearing me
do "Oh, Lonesome Me" yesterday.

My Uncle Curtis used to sing this song all the time at family
gatherings, and so it is very special to me, also.

This was a big hit for Charlie Walker who took it to #2 in
1958!

It was written by Harlan Howard, who also wrote "I Fall To
Pieces" for Patsy Cline, "Heartaches By The Number" for Ray Price,
"Busted" for Ray Charles, "I've Got A Tiger By The Tail" for Buck
Owens and many other songs. In fact, Harlan Howard had 15 songs on
the charts in 1961 alone!

I probably never would have done had I not been asked, but I am
so glad that I did!

I hope you enjoy it!
