After recording the song with Shelly West, Snuff Garrett took it to the record label but that label no longer had a Country division. Snuff shopped it around and every label turned it down. Then one day driving back from a art show with Clint Eastwood Snuff plays the song for Clint. Clint says that’s a pistol let’s put it in the next movie. Snuff told him I’ll do ya one better. You help me find a label that will put the song out and we’ll split the profits
