I have never heard this one done by Elvis.
But I do love the song! I have it on CD being sung by Gordon Lightfoot. I always thought he wrote it.
Yes, I believe Gordon Lightfoot did write it. I love his version, too — though Elvis just about always takes precedence with me! 🙂
I just checked and Gordon did write it.
Just imagine Gordon, a small town Canadian guy, getting a call from someone to ask if Elvis could use it. I bet he was flattered!

The galling part for him would possibly be having to hand over fifty percent of the writer’s royalties — which, I believe, was what Tom Parker demanded whenever Elvis sang someone else’s song. Dolly Parton famously refused to let Elvis sing I Will Always Love You because of this demand…
… actually, it probably wouldn’t have been all the galling for him, when you think about it. Fifty percent of the royalties from an Elvis song would probably be huge compared to 100% of the royalties of a Gordon Lightfoot song!
