Just the song on a black background. Slower, more mournful version than any other I've heard, but also the best I've heard.

This song used to make me homesick for my house in West Texas. Homesickness lasted about two weeks. I have been in South Texas since 1991 and never regretted moving here.

Fine, fine version. Spare, almost skeletal, but loaded with emotion. RIP Hoyt, you are missed.

Me too! Hoyt was my Daddy's cousin and his Mom , Mae Axton wrote "Heartbreak Hotel" My GrandAunt can be seen at the end of Tanya Tucker's-2 Sparrows in a Hurricane". That song really touches my heart as my Mom is 83 and my Dad 's barely driving a car! They both have been gone almost a decade, can't wait to meet them again, laughing, Hoyt picking guitar and all us singing!RIP XOX

@directorient C'est exact mais la version française chantée par Richard Anthony est une chanson pleurnicharde du début des années 60 qui avait un grand succès sur les pistes de dance comme slow, ce qui est totalement déphasé d'avec la chanson originale d'Hedy West qui l'a composée. Cette version d'Hoyt Axton est véritablement excellente et bien supérieure à Peter, Paul & Mary qui font aussi dans le ton trop geignard, c'est souvent le cas avec Mary Travers..

This song never fails to touch me deep sown somewhere. Beautiful, beautiful song. Haunting, melancholic, just something so perfect for the mood... glad I stumbled across this!
