North American version
Music publisher Geoff Mack offered the song to Canadian-born country musician Hank Snow in 1962. Snow thinks the song has potential for the Canadian and American markets, but only if its toponym is adapted to North America. At the insistence of its publisher, Geoff Mack consequently rewrote the song using a North American atlas given to him by the publisher. The North American version begins: "I actually carry my backpack along the dusty Winnemucca road".
