i like Jack Kittells' version , too , but , the definitive cover version for me , is T. Tex Edwards' version on his all - Murder Country collection , "Pardon Me , I've Got Someone To Kill''.

A local country station used to play this. I had totally forgotten about it, until I heard Elvis Costello's version. When I called the station they denied they ever played it or even heard of it.

It's the best country song of all time. And this is from a city slicker born and raised in Chicago. Leon Payne's songs in particular are the finest country has to offer. If there's anyone who falls under the category of "Criminally underrated" it's Leon Payne.

Leon Payne wrote this after the Texas Tower shootings in '66 by Charles Whitman.A film,ON HER BED OF ROSES was also about the case,the first real mass killing in America.Elvis Costello once performed this in a hotel room in Houston with only I,the Attractions and Nick Lowe in attendance.

First heard a cover by the Beasts of Bourbon. It's still my favorite. In the 80's tracked down a box of Jack Kittel's 7" single version. Nice, also.
