Here’s one for you see if you know song title and artist it’s old

Well everything’s a changing as the days go rolling by
Believe I’m getting old and I know I soon must die
Always riding boxcars forever on the roam
Where’er I hang my hat to me is home sweet home
Had to search that one don’t believe I’d heard before, thanks!

Wilf Carter was a country singer often mentioned by my mother as he was born in Port Hilford, N. S. not far from her old stomping grounds.
Yes just another good ol Nova Scotia boy that made it big in the music business
Did she ever refer to him as Montana Slim or maybe the yodeling cowboy.

Real tear jerker there by
I was on the outskirts of a little southern town trying to reach my destination before the sun went down

We offer each and everyone a special prayer for you
Cause you just made my little boys dream come true
I’ll sign off now before I start to cry
May God be with you 10-4 and good bye

Lots of tear jerkers
One my sister used to play- Tell me why my daddy don’t come home:
The chorus:
Tell me why my daddy don’t come home
I know that I am much to big to cry
Why don’t he come and play with me again
Mommy why did daddy say good bye

Or How far is heaven
Then - Big John
Big Bad John

Never considered BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN a real tear jerker but can’t play it here if my wife is home cause it makes her cry every time.
It reminds her of her father as he always played it and was his favourite tune to sing

Good ol Hank made the big time when he released Movin on then followed it up with :

From ol Montana down to Alabam I’ve been before and I’ll travel again
You trifling women can’t keep a good man down
You dealt the cards but missed the play so hit the road and be on your way
Going board the GOLDEN ROCKET and leave this town.
