1959, wasn't he still heavy on drugs at that time? I will say listening to this and knowing Jamie Foxx's version very well, I'd say Jamie Foxx did a very good imitation.

Here's a "good" country song sung by Johnny Cash ...

Gotta warn ya', it's a real tear jerker!

=======

FLUSHED FROM THE BATHROOM OF YOUR HEART

From the backdoor of your life you swept me out, dear.
In the breadline of your dreams I lost my place.
At the table of your love I got the brush off.
At the Indianapolis of your heart I lost the race.

I've been washed down the sink of your conscience.
In the theater of your love I lost my part.
And now you say you've got me out of your conscience.
I have been flushed from the bathroom of your heart.

In the garbage disposal of your dreams I've been ground up dear.
On the river of your plans I'm up the creek.
Up the elevator of your future I have been shafted,
On your calendar of events I am last week.

I've been washed down the sink of your conscience.
In the theater of your love I lost my part.
And now you say you've got me out of your conscience.
I have been flushed from the bathroom of your heart.

One good Ray deserves another:

No good deed ever goes unpunished

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

"Are you lonesome tonight", either the Al Jolsen or Elvis version.

It's a lovely "in your face bitch" song.
