I've never heard a version of "Staggerlee" I didn't like.

"Frankie and Johnny" were both pretty bad.

So were "Bill Martin and Ella Speed."

"Duncan and Brady" were bad.

And Bill the gun-totin cowboy of Woody Guthrie's "Philadelphia Lawyer"

Ry Cooder's version of "Billy the Kid" was written by Andrew Jenkins and recorded in the 20's by Vernon Dalhart.

"Jesse With the Long Hair Hanging Down" was written by Robert Earl Keen.
