This huge hit from 1961 became Benton's highest-charting Pop record. It's a somewhat humorous re-telling of a Southern folk song. Comes with a beautiful picture sleeve that sports an especially fine photo of the singer (smoking a cigarette, natch). Note: This copy has almost-Mint labels and vinyl, and pristine Mint sound. The picture sleeve is Near Mint.
