Don't know about Roy, but Hank Williams did it. You are correct. The story line is not the same.

Molly O'Day did that song very well. I just love her! She was the female Hank Williams for a few years, late 40s early 50s. Sang very movingly. Tear Drops Falling in the Snow (about Korean veterans), etc.
