From the wonderful Album "Listen To Lefty" from 1951.
This is the original version off Always Late. It has been recorded by sevral others. But to me this is the truly uniqe one.
Dwight Yoakam does an awfaul cover off this.. Sometimes i wish people could just leave art alone.
During early 1951, Lefty Frizzell is enjoying the success followed by the smash hit debut: If You've Got the Money (I've Got the Time). By this time, Frizzell and Hank Williams are the biggest names in country music. Frizzell would meet for another session on May 24, which capped off a single. Always Late (With Your Kisses) with the flip-side Mom and Dad's Waltz would be released in July and in August the single rose to the #1 slot on the US Country chart. The songs have since become instant Lefty classics.
