Can anyone on mudcat tell me who the true artist is for this tune?I have it on an 8 track by the Oakridge Boys,I also taped it off of Willie Nelson's Outlaw and the Kickaboo Indian Dish channel sung by Lorretta Lynn and I have it by Johhny Cash.Many believe it was written by Johnny Cash But I believe it was written first by Lorretta Lynn.Thanks for the help Louie Roy

BTW, as you see Cash recorded it in 1958 and Loretta Lynnhad her first hit, "Honky Tonk Girl" in 1960.

'spaw's right above. If you want to find info on a recorded song try HFA The Harry Fox Agency. http://songfile.snap.com/ If ONE writer/artist is listed it's probably copywrighted by them.

I had it on a Johnny Cash album in the sixties and my memory tells me that the cover notes attributed the song to his brother. I sang it for years as a busker in Queensland and it was really popular out in the sticks. I thought the cover said his brother's name was Ray, but I could be wrong about that.

Fairport Convention did a nice version on their early album, 'Heyday' before the discovered folk...

Both Joan Baez and Emmylou Harris have recorded it as well.
