Which he wrote as a poem for my grandmother and later sold it to Bob Wills. Who made it famous.

As you point out, it was a 1926 hit for Lee Morse and Lloyd was just a kid at that time. He and bis brother Buddy backed up Jesse Rodgers on one of his San Antonio sessions....Hope some relative of Luke Owens reads your blog...We know about Symons and Jack True, and even Harry Grady, but where OWens was from and what happened to him after 1938 remains a real mystery....
