I gotta admit I prefer Ernest on this a lot more. E.T.s version has that little "tongue-in-cheek" attitude to it that fits the lyrics. Glen's great though!
@jekiwe During the Elvis outtakes for the song at the beginning Elvis adds "just running scared" as per the Roy Orbison song. Great song but Elvis seemed to sing it with more emotion/feeling.
What a pure voice Glen Campbell has!! One of the best.

This is the best version of this song period. Elvis did a great job and a couple
of other singers have tried it, but Glen nailed it.

@LadODell Sorry to disagree with you but have you really listened to the Elvis version

@LadODell Nah. Elvis had more power and emotion to it. This is more twangy and casual, not a bad version though!:)

Interesting that Ernest Tubb had a had in creating this great song. Just doesn't seem like his style.... Glen's recording is the best!

I am a huge Elvis fan but this version is the best. The first time I heard him do this was on Shindig in 1965. Strange, some things you never forget.

@jamiesalyer Definitely sounds strange. Elvis's was tops.

Yes I agree. I like Campbell's version. Was it recorded before Elvis' 1970 version?

@tenniscollector I recall hearing this version in the Summer of '65 on the beach in Galveston. A special song and for a special time.
