My Aunt Mary used to play piano and sing this song at family reunions. She said it was a famous song about East Texas, but I never understood how famous it was. We were all from Comanche County, moved to Kilgore, site of “the world’s richest acre” in 1930. Thank you!

I swapped a guitar

Nice song. RiP Tom 🙏

❤️🎶

Such a beautiful song.

Ah, Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier are in there already

This is my Grandpa Davis’ song!! Don’t be deceived!! He wrote this song! He ran away in the early 20’s. We have a 45 to prove it. Why is everyone giving credit where credit is NOT due?

I was born in Abilene, Texas long time ago.

From his 1961 LP Tall Tales and short Tempers. One of his best albums, almost all acoustic, very folksy.

MTA is still at it today with congestion pricing. 🤔

He had to pay to get off the train?

We were just about halfway through to Barstow when the drugs started to kick in...

I'm a huge fan of HANK WILLIAMS SR and HANK WILLIAMS JR and HANK WILLIAMS lll 🤠

Love this

The name of George Glacko should be George Glasgow.

There’s another video of the singing this song where they sound just like the Everly Brothers. This one, not so much.

No one loves a hobo .. 🙁

Anyone know who the musicians are on this record?

She never sang it like this the later years. The intro the melody. This song is perfect like this only.

Picture at field bc

Beautiful song

I can only hope the younger generation finds this woman and can hear what a real singer sounds like.

We did the song in Kansas at a formade they started clapping for 10 minutes we were so happy.
