about

Written by Ernest Tubb in 1941 and recorded that year with Tubb on vocal and acoustic guitar and "Smitty" Smith on electric. Later Tubb recorded it with his band, the Texas Troubadors. The original recording reached #23 on the charts in 1945 and eventually sold 1 million copies. Music critic David Viopal called it "the first honky tonk song and it launched the genre". Tubb's original was heard on the soundtrack of the 1980 film "Coal Miner's Daughter." In 2022 the single was selected by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant." Tubb recorded it in 1944, 1959, 1963, 1979 and again in 1979 with Merle Haggard. Numerous covers found themselves on a variety of chart spots over the years.
