History
The title names Beaumont, Texas, a rough oil boom town. Sam Peacock, a Corsicana barber who led Smith's Garage Fiddle Band, made the first recording in 1928, slow and bluesy. Oscar Harper, another Texas barber, recorded a faster version in 1929, and Bob Wills's 1939 recording made it a Western swing standard.
