[78-L] Identification on Test Pressings

[Don Chichester]

I know the lyrics to that song.  I had a Victor pressing of it when I was a kid.  I Googled the phrase, and it verified my recollection.  Then I went to Rust-Brooks Columbia Discography, found two cuts, one too early for you, the other seemed right.  Voila!
