Half As Much by Curley Williams "My husband Curley just got up from the supper table one night and went down to the radio station where he was working in Anniston, Alabama. He stayed down there about thirty minutes, and when he came back, he said, 'Baby, I wrote us a good song tonight.' He played and sang it for me, and of course I thought it was good, but next day he played it for the boys in his band, the Georgia Peach Pickers, and they all laughed at him. They recorded it and sent it to Acuff-Rose, and instead of writing back like they usually did, Fred Rose called him and said, 'I just want you to know you've got a damned hit!' Curley had the first record on it at Columbia, but just as it started to go bog up in Gaston, Anniston, and up in there, the Columbia pressing plant went on strike for seven weeks, and when they came off, Christmas songs were in and that killed his version of it. Then Rosemary Clooney came out with it and made it popular in the pop field, and then Hank Williams picked it up."  —Louise (Mrs. Curley) Williams Half As Much If you loved me half as much as I love you You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do You're nice to me when there's no one else around You only build me up to let me down. If you missed me half as much as I missed you You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do I know that I would never be this blue If you only loved me half as much as I love you.
