Country Music Comedy Song?

Here's a challenge to the Y!A community. There was a spoof country music song in the late 1950s. Two snatches of the lyrics were:

"But the night we were to wed

I got tired and stayed in bed

And now the whole darn county's up in arms.

"Her father's at the gate

With a loaded .38

And he's saying 'Come on down or else I'll shoot.'

I wonder if he knows

I've got on his Sunday clothes

If he shoots it'll be goodbye to his best suit.

I'm planning to rerecord it, but I can't trace the writer or the original artist.

    If you like old country comedy songs, search the duo "Mustard & Gravy."
