Me too J. My Mom used to play a version of that one when I was a kid. MIne’s more based off of Townes’ though. Never Willie though. I do like Emmylou better now, even if I was drowned in her as a kid.

Emmylou does a sweet Pancho & Lefty;)

That’s the version I first heard. My parents used to play it. The record is still somewhere at their house.
