First recorded by Emmett Miller in 1923 this 1939 version by Rex was 10 years before Hank Williams hit of the song in 1949. Hank most likely made his closer to Rex version
You're right - Hank clearly got his version from Rex. One note: Emmett Miller's was not the first version. There are at least 2 versions that pre-date his. Written in 1922. Thanks for posting!

A little too fast it seems.

Hank was aware of both versions as indicated in a letter Fred Rose sent to Hank prior to Hank's session.
