It was a dark and stormy night.
A flash of lightening in the distance.
Slowly the music swells and our story starts.
Welcome to tonight’s Hootenanny, just a single song. A single song.
See y’all next week.

First heard the Vaughn Monroe version from my Grandma’s 78 copy.
Here’s a link to the Dick Dale version.

I only regret that to the best of my knowledge neither Neil Diamond nor Blondie have recorded a version of this song.
Found the original recording by the song’s writer, Stan Jones.
