3:25
single, 1940
Single by Charlie McCoy and Bo Chatman, 1928
I thought this song was traditional, but I guess it's credited to the people who first recorded it. Everybody and their brother has done this song, even Cab Calloway! I've heard a couple, but am really only familiar with Bob's version. Anyhoo, this is a great example of jaunty Western swing. It's a honky-tonk blend of steel guitar twang, piano, and big-band shuffle styles. The vocal is heavy on aw-shucks personality ("I love Corrina / You know darn well I do"), peppered with cowboy interjections.
