Hey Chris; did I spell it wrong, or do you want the whole song?

I believe the correct title is Boot Heel Drag. At least I've heard of and play that one. Guess there could be a Boot Hill Drag though. There sure are a bunch of those "drag" songs<p ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b">[This message was edited by Jim Smith on 07-22-99]</FONT></P>

Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers recorded it as "Boot HILL drag". Herb Remington: help!

I've seen it spelled a couple of different ways. I think you will know which version this is by the intro alone.

I understood Boot Heel Drag on the Bob Wills version was performed in C#min. whether it had pedals or not.
