Hobo's Lullaby, 1972
Written by Richard A. Whiting & Gus Kahn, 1925
This song, nearly one hundred years old now (but a sprightly 47 at the time of recording), was first made famous by Vaughn De Leath, the "First Lady of Radio" who also had an early hit with "Are You Lonesome Tonight," made a huge hit later by the King. Anyhoo, I like this jaunty version. The jangling mandolin, the background singers (including Linda Ronstadt), the silly lyrics I'm a sucker for ("Where the tricky wicky wacky woo").
