I don't know who originally sung it - but I have heard it. My
brother-in-law in in a country band and they play and sing it -
always getting requests for it. But I can't find it on Youtube,
except where a couple of people are singing it, and it's poor
quality, but it is the song - goes: "Hey Willie Baker, now where
have did you go, I lost a friend who knew the way, and now I'm on
my own...." (something like that) Is that the one you mean?
