    In Sept 1947 a 19 year old kid sitting in a New Mexico jail wrote a song to his wife, begging her to stay with him. This is the song, backside of " If You Got The Money I Got The Time", this is the song but not the original one as this is dated 1959. You can get the original; go to U-TUBE, ask for the song and ask for 1950. It will come up first. Run time is 2:48 min. Two days before Christmas 1950, his first recording "If you got the money, I got the time" went to #1 position. After Christmas "I love you 1000 ways" went to #1 position on the DJ charts. July 18, 1975 he had a stroke that night, and suffered another one on the way to the hospital. He never recovered. Born Mar 31, 1928, died July 19, he was 47 years old. He was one of my favorites in the '50's. I was born 1929.

      @@jonsnitsky3421 If you grew up in them days, you'd be pushing eighty...or passing it.
      I'd rather have missed those times, and been born in your day, and shave 50+ years off.
      As one who grew up in the late-50's & 60's, Lefty was not readily available to many.
      Radio was the main source of music, and Lefty was played randomly...with many more artists.
      My appreciation for Lefty, only came in the 80's, when maturity & beer, and relationships were made and destroyed in one night. Lefty personified a large portion of adult males in his music.
      Other than his great delivery, if you like the music/lyrics as much, chances are...you can relate.🤠

      You're from 1932, if my math works...I'm from `54.
      That's not too much difference today, but back then, you were old enough to be my father.
      Nice to hear "still together" after 52 yrs...that's special.

    Lefty Frizzell had as many songs as Hank Williams in the early 1950's.
    Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff, Lefty Frizzell, and few others is the country music we'll never get back. I know I'm from today's generation but my soul is old and I must say, in this day and age Jake Penrod is probably the only one who sings the songs of the legends, I believe he's sung a couple songs by the Father of Country Music Jimmie Rodgers.

    I was stationed at Barksdale Air Force, Base in Bossier City, La; and either '51 or '52, Lefty put on a show for the servicemen that a hanger was the only building large enough to accommodate all the people. I believe it was because of the Korean war. As I remember, there was no charge.

      Nothing wrong with realizing that something is good, I think this song by lefty is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and was written by lefty when he was in jail to his wife hence the part near the end where he says wait until I'm free, this was a plea to his wife to forgive him for having a fling with a young girl, anyway its a song from his heart to his wife and that makes it a true beautiful song.
