And the Chad Mitchel Trio recorded it also. I remember hearing it on the radio, but don't recall who was singing it.
But, The original Highwaymen had the top 40 hit. That's probably what I am remembering.
It made me think of "Gypsy Davy", and going up the thread at google, I see
that someone back in 1993 pointed that out, it's kind of a song with
various titles and similar lyrics. The version I know best is off "Last
of the Brooklyn Cowboys". But I thought I heard another version along the
way, so maybe Woody's.
Wikipedia has a decent entry on the song, and all the recorded versions.
I kind of wonder if "Boots of Spanish Leather" is a nod to "buckskin
gloves made of Spanish leather".
You used to always sign your posts with "ADG", making me wonder if you
were named after the song.
