GUEST,Adam Miller Origins: Last Ride / Hobo's Last Ride (14) Origins: Last Long Ride authorship 08 Feb 04


I am interested in identifying the composer (s) of "The Last Long Ride".

"In the Dodge City yards on the Santa Fe stood a freight made up for the east,
The engineer with his oil and grease was grooming the great iron beast..."

In 1976 Utah Phillips said that this song was by a man named Patterson, composed in the 1890's.

In understand it was first recorded by Buell Kazee in 1928.

Hank Snow's recording credits authorship to Ted Daffan and Robert Halcomb.

Can anyone offer futher information?

Thanks,
Adam Miller
