In this episode we take a look at the history of one of the most widely post WWII "Covered" popular songs in the ASCAP database.

From its humble beginnings as a European folk song to its re-appearance during the American Civil War as a melody for a drinking song, to its eventual use as the basis for a song about a cautionary tale warning a cowboy that if he doesn't change his ways, he will one day join the damned cowboys doomed to try to “catch the Devil”s herd across these endless skies.
