Never knew Rory could carry a tune. Rory was a big hit in tv series the Texan had a fairly tumultuous life did time in jail and many marriages and divorces.
He had two long-term marriages. The first for 20 years; the second, interrupted by a divorce and remarriage, lasted about 25 years. His jail time was as a juvenile delinquent, for stealing.
Didn’t know he did some singing. Jimmy Rodgers had a hit with this song. I do enjoy Rory Calhoun’s cowboy movies. I never saw his TV work. Interesting guy. It must have been a challenge to try singing that song with the multiple changes of key. There were probably simpler, catchy tunes back then that may have been more suitable for him.
