From Gord's 1965 album, it was a #1 country hit for Marty Robbins. Connie Smith and Crystal Gayle also recorded it,, & on the bluegrass side Cliff Waldron & the New Shades of Grass, among others.

Good on ye, Chuck.
I always loved Gord's own medley of this one with "I'm Not Saying (That I Love You)" from a live performance, recorded at Massey Hall, I think. Of course I "borrowed" it for my bar-room gigs!
What a legacy of great songs he left us.
