This song was written in 1951 by a trio of songwriters that included Tex Atchison. He also wrote quite a few hillbilly boogie, and rockabilly tunes, such as "Tennessee Hound Dog", "Mailman", and Johnny Bond's "Sick, Sober and Sorry". Tex Atchison started recording in the 1930s with the Kentucky Ramblers, who became the Prairie Ramblers. In the post war era, he played with Merle Travis (40's-50's), Ole Rasmussen's Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Leon Chappel in the early 50's. Tex became famous for his Western Swing fiddle playing-- and as a teenager, he would be digging coal by day, and play fiddle, sax and clarinet at night, in coal miner dance halls. Tex Atchison was called "Arguably the best left-handed fiddler in the history of country music" - by country historian Charles K. Wolfe. Being a Southpaw myself, I always have an affinity for a left handed muso.
Written by Tex Atchison, Scotty Harrell, and Eddie Hazelwood

Singer-Songwriter Merle Travis originally penned and recorded this one about Appalachian coal miners. You see, Merle grew up in the heart of Kentucky's coal country. When he was 12, he wanted to learn to do guitar picking the way the local coal miners played.

Eddie Miller is a character. Before he was a co writer on this song, he was a railroad train engineer. AND, Eddie also wrote a country music opera- "The Legend Of Johnny Brown". Â Crisp Texas' native son, and country pioneer Ernest Tubb , did a great version of this....
