The text said that Jim Reeves' song was recorded in 1953 and was a No 1 by January 1954. It also said that Gene Autrey's version was released as a 78rpm in 1954. Jim Reeves' record could not, therefore, be a cover of Gene Autrey's and I have corrected this.

At the very least, this article should explain how the song came to be written (i.e., its origins); any controversy surrounding the lyrics (in particular, I find next to impossible</> to believe that the lyrics have never been challenged, due both to the asignment of the word "Bimbo" -- a word already used as a pejorative for shallow, airheaded woman -- to the first name for an innocent toddler -- AND because the lyrics depict child neglect (to *buy him candy bars" is to teach absolutely terrible eating habits. And there's this; allowing a toddler to wander around unsupervised is another, more serious, example of chi!ld neglect. The Grand Rascal (talk) 12:10, 20 December 2021 (UTC) Reply
