Subject: Red Headed Stranger
I have seen the lyrics in Digitrad and I have a copy of the Willie Nelson version. However, I'm sure I first heard this song back in the early-mid 50's, sung by someone else (whose name I do not know). This older version was done at a hard-driving tempo, much faster than Willie's. Does anyone know anything about this older version? Who sang it? I would sure like to get a copy of it, if I could. p.s. Shouldn't the first verse be"... Blue Rock, Montana", not "...Blue Rock, Wyoming"? And, there are a few other small differences.
