Well, your father and his buddies wrote a legendary song that mountain people all over the world have been identifying with for years. It’s a testament to hill people and we play it rather loud here in Arkansas.
@@adambugher4837 *YES we do!!* Horton was my favorite as a child; laying on the shag carpet and listening to the 78 on the big "coffin" entertainment center !
Great song. Not sure if Johnny Horton wrote it but he's a legend and it's one of my favorites by him. Billy's cool for covering it, just like the Dead were.
My father wrote this song. He also wrote Honky Tonk Man. His name was Howard Hausey. He was good friends Johnny Horton. Johnny did several of my dad’s songs.
@christinahausey1344 Opry member Justin Tubb's son (Ernest Tubb's grandson) and I were neighbors and friends when I was a kid and in high school. When Dwight Yoakam's version of "Honky Tonk Man" was big on the radio, I told Mr. Tubb that I loved the song and how much I admired DY for writing it. He corrected me by stating that it was your dad who wrote it. First time I ever heard mention of your father's name. I know all about him now as I became a musician and songwriter myself.
My Fav. Song of all time. Ole slew-foot in my back yard stealin my wine and knocking over my Grill. Chased him out the yard, and all the while this song was going through my mind. Never forget that.
My father Howard Hausey wrote this as well as several others that Johnny Horton recorded including Honky Tonk Man.

He was a great song writer. Thanks. I’d be proud brother.

I just found this gem of a song. Your pops did well.
BSB at their finest. Tight, great harmonies and just enough loose jam. I can listen to this stuff all day long.

Check out the Jeremy Hickman Band version too!
James McMurtry and Joe Ely do a more than credible duo version on McMurtry's 'Childish Things' album.

@@christinahausey1344 That's quite a legacy. You should be proud. Your dad wrote some gems!

These videos with the brown plaid shirt are PLATINUM! He could make that guitar talk at 18yrs old!
This is freaking AWESOME! Another great version was done by James McMurtry and Joe Ely.
Grateful Dead, with Garcia on pedal steel, did this for six months in 1969!!!
Fabulous
