I think Red Sovine had that narration as well, it's the one I remember. I think it is one of the most powerful narrations of all time along with Ragged Old Flag by Johnny Cash. I'd like to listen to a better version of Steal away, however, haven't found a clearer or better one yet. OH! by the way, Little Buddy by Hank Snow will bring tears to your eyes as well.

But some other Fulks songs at least qualify- "If They Could Only See Me Now" and "Coldwater, Tennessee" which was also a Dallas Wayne tune. And how about Todd Snider's Seattle Grunge Rock Blues? It is a great country song. Though, a lot of Snider's stuff probably fits here- since he does a lot of talking. "The Ballad of the Kingsmen" is a good one as well. Another good one was Roger Miller's "One Dyin' and a Buryin'" "Rose for Mama" is fantastic. Rips me up every time I hear it.
