  • lefty frizzell was the original artist. i remember hearing him when i was a child. country music was what i grew up.

  • You are right. Originally recorded in Nashville in 1959 by Lefty Frizzell and produced by Don Law, it reached #6 on the U.S. Country chart. The song was written by composer and singer Danny Dill with Marijohn Wilkin in a folk music style in 1959. Wilkin also played piano on the original recording by Frizzell.

  • Who wrote this song?

  • Written by Marijohn Wilkin and Danny Dill, 1959.

  • YOUR RIGHT I MISS THE MAN IN BLACK

  • too bad they didn't have DNA or any forensics experts when this song was written,they may have found the "real killer" and the lovers would have been united in life.Of course,the song wouldn't have been as good.

  • Sorry, estelle715, I cannot disagree more, with you. Best friends don't steal (or borrow) each other's wives. There being good enough reason, take her openly and permanently.

    rochedouglas.

  • Beautiful beyond compare

  • Johnny was a little bit confused and sung the third verse before the second

  • @estelle715 but he would rather die than have his best friend know he was in the arms of his wife. True friendship.

  • Hollywood would never touch this. It has no happy ending.

  • I love Johnny! Love this song!! =]

  • Lefty Frizell recorded this b4 Cash.I believe Frizell was the original artist in the late 50's long b4 Cash.

  • That is interesting, I never heard that! The song has such a haunting sound. Yes, it would make a great movie!
