Subject: RE: Origin: Red Headed Stranger (Stutz/Calisch)
I Checked out the Missouri Rockabilly. The singer of the Red Headed Stranger there is Rose Maddox. It is not the original song.

The words that Rose uses are pretty much as I remember the song. It was one of my favorite songs and I pretty much remember the words.

Willie Nelson and Rose have the chorous as I remember it.

Loudermilk and Rose have the rest as I remember it.

The bay was lopin behind not walking

It was a yellow haired woman not a yellow haired lady.

Keep up the good work, I think we might be honing in on the original
