I love doc Watson but the first time I heard this song was by The 'Coffee Drinkin' Nighthawk' Lee More over WWVA radio in Wheeling West Va. in the 1950's. My favourite version. Does anyone else remember Lee More? Ken, Toronto, Ont.
your so right i grew up listening to the ol cofee drinkin' nighthawk and driving around with my buddys drinkin beer and lookin' for trouble thanks for reminding me GOOD LUCK TO YA Dave
holy! this song is so old and theres so many versions that know one know how to really play it you played it well!!!! im impressed but theres alot of lyrics that ive never herd before in this song. cheers anyways
@ butch1753 I remember Big Slim "the Lone Cowboy" on the Wheeling Jamboree and Hawkshaw Hawkins was from Wheeling, but I remember him as a Grand Ol' Opry star. Sadly, he was killed along with Patsy Cline in that fatal plane crash.
hey guys, fans of Doc Watson should definitely check out Kent Gustavson's new book, "Blind But Now I See, The Biography of Music Legend Doc Watson " @ his Facebook page, "Doc Watson Book".
There was a Russian group named Green Crow that started covering folk songs, especially Irish songs. As a result lots of Russian singers started singing these songs. Here is one. th-cam.com/video/h9iU3BDJp1s/w-d-xo.html
It was written by Harry S Miller in 1893, but there have been various changes and additions since then.

@butch1753: Further to my post about Hawkshaw Hawkins, Cowboy Copas was also on the plane with Cline and Hawkins.
@Kramer02 He's one of my great cousins! Woaaah!
Actually it's simply called the Cat Came Back there's a clip on youtube of it.
This song reminds me of a girlfriend I could not get rid of. Those were the days.
