   >2/14/2020 - I recently started playing this song again after many years of   
   having forgotten it and thought I'd try to find the Stoneman's version online.   
   I learned it long ago after hearing it a couple of times on the radio.    
   Sometime in the late 1970's I moved to Nashville in hopes of being a   
   songwriter (ended up working construction) and one night several of us were   
   playing music up in a friend's room. A guy we knew named Vince Mathews started   
   playing this song so I sang    
   along and when he got stuck on the lyrics I helped him out. When he was done I   
   told him I was surprised to hear somebody do that song as it wasn't real well   
   known and Vince said, "Well, I wrote it." sagehillrube@hotmail.com
