Original Billboard review: “With all the noise and infectious spirit of a carnival, the band gives an appealing performance of a tune on which there is certain to be consideable competition in the next few weeks. This version, at present, stands a good chance of coming out on top.“ Billboard rating: 80 out of 100. This song had earlier charted at #2 in September 1915 for Arthur Collins and Byron Harlan. Red Foley charted at #28 in December 1951 with his version (#3 on the Country chart). Written by George L. Cobb and Jack Yellen. B-side is “Sing a Little Melody“.
