You absolutely have this by Cisco Houston. I know this because you've mixed to the title (easy to do in this case) with another on the same record, the fine 10-inch 900 Miles and other R.R. Songs. You've posted "The Roamer." Houston got it from Jimmie Rodgers who called it "Desert Blues." My copy of Rogers' version gives Rogers as the writer.

I can also tell you why you like it. It's a great song. Rogers' version is fine even though the words are weird and the arrangement corny as hell. Houston's version eliminates the dopey orchestra & it's done in his simple brilliant style. Something is definately said, even if we're not quite sure what.

"The Rambler" begins 'Come and gather all around me, / And listen to my tale of woe." Also a great song. That one's by one Carson Robinson (whom I don't otherwise know). Both (C) 1929.
