Hi Jerry I have to admit, I've never heard this song before, but never the less. This is a very beautiful performance from you, it suits your voice perfectly. I really enjoyed this, very well done. Like No 1. Enjoy your weekend Jerry, all the very best. John
Thanks for listening. Glad you enjoyed it. I first heard it years ago by Reverend Jimmy Swaggart. He's the cousin to Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley. It's ironic that all 3 cousins learned to play the on the same piano as kids growing up in Louisiana. Jerry Lee and Mickey Gilley went the country music route while Jimmy became a preacher and Gospel Music Performer. The kid that wrote that song was just 15 years old from Texas and sold it to Swaggart.
My name is SharonJohnson Selvey. ❤😊

Hi Jerry this is an absolutely brilliant version, I love the spoken part, very well done. (I did a version of this sometime ago). Have a lovely week Jerry, all the very best. John
JP - thanks so much. I just feel sometimes it is better to talk the lyrics than it is to sing them. Red Sovine did this all the time, as did many of the older performers back in the day. Thanks for you continued support.
