I bet that God has him in Heaven playing for the Angels right now. I hope they don't get him too tired before I get there with him.

[spacemanfromthepast]

It was written by Fred Rose and originally recorded in 1945 by Roy Acuff. Hank Williams also has a version.

How old is this song, and who wrote it? I am 80 and remember it as a teenager back in the 1940s. Willie didn't do it until about the 1970s....I'm guessing it goes back to the days of Ted Daffan or earlier. Thanks.

@whitt702 It was written by Fred Rose and recorded in 45' by Roy Acuff, then it was recorded by Hank Williams in the 50's and then Willie :)

Good 'ol Chet! Somewhere along the way I got old. It ain't fun. The worst part is I won't get to hear you much longer. If I have memories on the other side, I hope they include you and Blue Eyes.

The most beautiful instrumental version of this song I've ever heard! Thanks so much for posting it!  From which of Chet's albums is this lovely tune?

[daffydoug]

As I recall, if memory serves, it was from "The Magic of Chet Atkins" CD.
