Heard this song for the 1st time a few days ago on the local classic country station. Great song.

Tex Williams made a series of musical western shorts for Universal-International in the late Forties with his co-musicians Deuce Spriggens and Smokey Rogers. Using footage and some plotline elements from old Johnny Mack Brown and Bob Baker films, these shorts played to movie audiences in the South and Southwest who were familiar with Williams as the chief vocalist for Spade Cooley's band. The films were later edited together as feature length films and also as Castle home movies.

I played this when i was a teenage country DJ back in the mid 70's...I didn't know at the time that my relatives were good friends of Tex...Until my Grandma mentioned it when she heard me play Smoke, Smoke, Smoke, That Cigarette on the air one day.

I remember this song as a kid. Dad had it on a 33rpm album. Brings back good memories.

We had the 45 of this in a jukebox. Forgot about song. Stumbled onto it. Great post. I can still still recite the lyrics.

Love the video...I am music director for a country station and YES it is on our playlist to this day. What is the violin piece called at end of your production? Would love to get a copy of it somewhere.

Thanks for the comments.
The violin piece at the end of the video is 'Ballade de l'epi' from the ballet 'Coppelia' by Leo Delibes.

spadinajack Thanks for the comments. Yes it's a great song, full of potential for slideshows. I did a Google search for Victorian/Edwardian glamor. Got most of these images from FLIKR.
Best wishes
