The #1 hit:



Based on Emmylou from Luxury Liner.

Original is Townes Van Zandt of course. Willie Nelson's daughter suggested it to them, neither had heard of the song. It's nice that Willie and Merle put Townes in their music video.

Some sources insist this is technically not the original version, as the song was written for Bill Haley.

This is definitely the 1st released version

Co-writer Bert Berns was furious w/producer Phil Spector for "taking all the life out of the song"

Later the Isley Bros would do it his way

Supposedly Gus Cannon was living in a deserted Memphis railroad car when a very whitebread group of folkies took their very catchy ramake to no 1 in 1962
