One of my favorites from a Clyde Davenport recording. Yes that's really the name of the tune.

Clyde must have been listening to a little Bob Wills. That's "Stay All Night." Heres a kind of cute video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGKvobvlnMU

I'm going to try to medley it with the contra "Bundle and Go".

Be jolly!

chuck, you can call that tune anything you want, but Bob Wills and the rest of the world calls it "Stay All Night" or "Stay A Little Longer". I'm sure thats where Clyde "picked it up". His title is a paraphrase of the third line of the chorus.

chuck - maybe so, but I don't mean you any ill will. However when you say "It is not a BW tune, but something that Clyde picked up" I just have to put in my 2 cents. It is a Bob Wills tune, and that probably is where Clyde "picked it up" from a record or the radio. I would italicize "is" both times, but I can't here. Where do you think he "picked it up?"
Or here's an alternate theory if you wish. The "Ten Thousand Year Old Fiddler" played a tune he called "Pull Off Your Coat and Throw It In the Corner". The "Amost Ten Thousand Year Old Fiddler," named Clyde Davenport learned the tune generations ago. A distant ancestor of Bob Wills also learned the tune, took it to Texas, and many years later Bob Wills learned the tuned and popularized it through the radio and records. Then Clyde Davenport remembered it and you learned it from him.
Whatever suits you.
