Not Laine huh.
I know the Sons of the Pioneers had a popular version from that time frame. But I'm drawing a blank on any one else who may have made the top forty.
I don't think Cash ever made the charts with that song did he?
Yes to Frankie Laine!
But Vaughn Monroe did it before him -- but maybe under "Riders in the Sky."
Bing Crosby too!
AND Johnny Cash AND Marty Robbins. It's shorter to say who didn't cover that song.
But the song's name wasn't always the same. I can't think of that other name. "The Cowboy's Something Something."
ETA
Gene Autry sang it in "Riders in the Sky." But no record, as far as I know.

PS
I was telling my sister on the phone about Charlie being on a dog board and she said I should explain the song.
Charlie and the MTA was a song that was written against the complicated and ever-increasing fare schedule of the Boston-area MTA. Charlie gets on with the fare in his pocket but without what they called the "exit fare." (It was complicated. lol)
It was actually a redo of an election-campaign song from the 40s for someone who ran on a platform that included doing something about the MTA fare mess. No, I do not remember that far back.
I like the part about his wife handing him a sandwich through the window at Scollay Square (now Government Center) so he doesn't starve on the train.
