    This song was written by Harlan Howard and is older than KD’s career.
    It was recorded by Billy Walker and Little Jimmy Dickens to name a few.

    You’re right about the drummer. I imported this into Cakewalk Guitar Tracks and timed it at 128 beats/minute. It doesn’t vary enough to even be noticeable from the opening cymbal crash to the closing kick.
