   I thought Claude King wrote that one.  Let me run it past allmusic.com.   
   Oops, wrong waltz guy.  Clyde Moody.  Clyde recorded it, as did Jimmy   
   Martin, and Dave Evans (not heard his, but has he *ever* done a bad   
   record?), Ernest Tubb and Hank Thompson.  My mind also features a version   
    from Jim Eanes, but allmusic doesn't show it, but it hardly has a   
   definitive library.  They don't list the Osbornes, but they do list the   
   Stanley brothers and Cal Smith.  Safe bet he didn't do it in Clyde's key.   
   I love Cal's smooth baritone.  I can sing tenor to most of what Duffey has   
   sung, wish I could sing low.
