"The original version by Stan Jones was recorded in late 1948 or early 1949. A recording by Stan Jones and his Death Valley Rangers issued on Mercury 5320 in May 1949.[7] Fellow songwriter Eden Ahbez sent the song to Burl Ives, who recorded his own version in early 1949."
"The Sons of the Pioneers recorded the song on April 28, 1949 which issued as RCA Victor 21-0065A and 48-0060A backed with "Room Full of Roses" recorded on the same date."
"Johnny Cash did it in 1979" Many others did it between 1949 and 1979... I was a Wee Lad when it 1st came out but after I 1st heard it I found the 78(Vinyl) Record Album by the Sons of the Pioneers...
