A lost genre "songs that told a story".Well, I guess in past ages, most songs "told a story"...

Margaret Brown

Was Rusty Draper the first man to sing this song ?

Sadly all the GOOD singers are leaving us. Rusty passed away on March 28, 2008.

This really brings back memories! Of long ago. I was a sophomore in high school in the fall of 1955 when this was popular. I can remember sitting on the bench (I was on the B team, but still seemed to spend more time on the bench than in the game) and I was whistling this haunting song under my breath. Thanks for putting it up. And what would we do without youtube? Probably would have never heard this song again.

This is good! My favorite version is the one by Billy Vaugn.

Great music

Roger Dee

I can remember this one well, even though I was only 11 years old when it was first played on Sydney radio. I heard it again about 20 years back and managed to tape most of it, but not all. It's great to hear again now, whenever I want to. Thanks.

My father's work involved a lot of travel, and some of my earliest memories were of the West, and the unique vegetation that I, a Detroit born girl, wasn't familiar with. Even in those days (before I was 5 years old) I loved its uniqueness. And I think this song sums it up wonderfully. My mother in law lives in New Mexico, and my mind goes back to this song as I see the huge, stark mountains, sometimes scary but beautiful in their own way. And the backup singers do a beautiful job, too

At 1:49 I can close my eyes and instantly I'm back in a '49 Oldsmobile 88 hearing this for the first time traveling down old highway 17 bound for Florida. Amazing. I can even smell the orange blossoms on the balmy breeze coming thru the open window, (no AC then). I'd go back to those days in a second if I could! The U.S. was a COUNTRY then, not a hokey "Homeland", and we were FREE to live our lives WITHOUT Gov't intrusion. If you don't remember those days I feel sorry for you.

Unusual version' We buried too many good men in our shifting whispering sands; and decades later the tanks began to re-emerge. And yes they still talk at night. Eamonn Andrews' version was....odd!
