Deep in the Heart of Texas - Maurene Edson (1943)

Seven-year-old Maurene Edson sings 'Deep in the Heart of Texas' live on 5AD radio.
Presenter Darcy Cochade introduces the show: 'We have in the studio about 50 members of the younger generation who, as part of their process of growing up, have wisely selected to take music into their curriculum. So the music you will hear is the work of our young Australians on their way up.’
Maurene is the second performer in the program. The track is a cover of the 1941 song written by June Hershey (lyrics) and Don Swander (music). It became a hit in the voice of Perry Como, and it has also been recorded by Bing Crosby, Pee-Wee Herman, The Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and many more.
