   The best version I've heard of this song is done by The Great Western   
   Orchestra from Alberta, Canada, if you can find it,  on there GWO CD. I   
   haven't been able to even find any connection between GWO and the song other   
   than in an image of the CMO CD.   I    
   had it on cassette tape years ago. I think it came out in 1989 or there   
   abouts.  It was written as a poem by a Cowboy  Poet Charles Badger Clark in   
   1907 and music put to it by Billy Simon in 1925, according to Wikipedia.  It's   
   been cover numerous times.
