Mickey Newbury wrote this song, and probably does play the definitive version since it's his song. Mickey and Kenny Rogers were both Houston natives and new each other prior to Kenny's recording. As much as I love Kenny's version, I do feel that Mickey's is more pure. Second has to be this version which is very much more influenced by Mickey's original than Kenny's. Still, any way you look at it it is a fantastic song that certainly has endured the test of time.
This version SUX! Willie wake up! Wake up Willie! . . . you're dreaming! Did somebody pull this out of Willie's Trash? Like Willie but WTF! K & First Edition only please!
very very great version, has something of the latest lp's of an old jonny cash, also a little howling and sad,,, beautifull, can you tell me on which records this version is? a already got the album the great divide, with the same song but a very ugly version....
@loonybin007 first up you, sir, are a laugh riot. I bet you could also write better songs than Willie too, right? Songs like Crazy by Patsy Cline. Or maybe you're a better artist because you've recorded more than the 407 songs that He has. No I would think that you are more like Super Mario, because you just got got 1-up'd.
@bx0xd Keep your shirt on, Scrappy... The dude didn't say he's a better writer or singer than Willie. All he said was that he could do a better cover than what we hear here from Mr. Nelson, and I wouldn't be surprised if in fact he can. This is not a good cover. Anything else that Willie Nelson has recorded is irrelevant. And, please.... your Super Mario snub was weak and self-serving. Try to refrain from "high-fiving" yourself for your own remarks.
@TheClash122 Actually he DID say he could sing better and I never implied that Mr. loonybin007 said anything else about his own musical or writing talents. I merely suggested that he fancied himself to be a judge of music calling anything Willie ever did "horrible." I think that you have fairly decent tastes in music so you should know better than to call something horrible because you don't like it. Listen to the "Cut the Crap" album sometime and rethink The Clash.
Weed and Willie...ya can't get any better than that...

Whoa crazy. Sounds like Willy singing a Tom Waits song from one of his latest records. Yes, I know when it's from. That's what it sounds like

Jerry Lee Lewis did the best version of it. Too bad he didn't like the song.
