Has any body hard of this Record by

Walter Brennan.


I'm looking for the record for my Father.
It would be nice if I could find a copy by Father's day 21 this month.

It was not musical but spoken.

Thanks to anybody that can help :)

Witten by Carson Robison (no relation to Willard); Doc Watson
recorded this, too.

To follow up on Peter's citation, I believe the version Doc recorded is on the
"Doc Watson On Stage" album, which is available on CD now - Vanguard, I
believe. Doc does it with a guitar backup, but it is more spoken than sung,
almost a "talking blues" kind of thing. I have occasionally played it on the
radio back-to-back with one of Hank Williams' "Luke The Drifter" recordings,
"Everything's OK" - they're very similar in style and content.

There is also a version by Tex Williams, but I've never heard of Walter
Brennan, sorry.
