Nice job! I ,too, do covers.... Jim Reeves, Frank Sinatra...and others.

Danny DIll actually wrote this song.... not Lefty Frizell. I first heard it done by the Kingston Trio who used a slightly faster tempo.

haha, the comments are funny on this one. don't take it too seriously. lol. don't want to end up ass raped over a cover song. this is a pretty easy version of this if you're a musician. had no idea it wasn't a johnny original either. cool.

[utmindfreak]

You are a hack... expect an ass raping within a few days. maybe even tonight.

BTW I was talking to olebkjck!

I think Steve does a good job of singing it! I am sure he wouldn't of been asked to sing at an event if people didn't think he could sing!

[lefty121864]

I wish if people couldn't say anything good they wouldn't say anything at all. Do you sing? And can we hear something you've sung?

Regardless of who did and didn't record it, its still a damn good ballad.
