Thanks Mike, especially for your recommendation of the Emmett Miller album. I had never heard of him until today and the review I saw on CD Now was a bit scathing. I'll go back and see if it is still available.

I just did a check on a couple of CD sites. Leon Redbone sang it on Champagne Charlie [1978]

It was also on:

Spike Jones - Louder and Funnier

Female Blues Singers, Vol. 14: S-Z (192 [97] - Female Blues Singers, Vol. 14: S-Z (192

Diver Down [82] - Van Halen

I Love Dixie Blues...So I Recorded =Liv [73] - Haggard, Merle

and a search of the net showed that it was also sung by Peggy Lee, Judy Garland, Patsy Cline

All I have to do now is find a copy of it within the next 3 weeks.
