Cover versions
- In 1949, Netherlandish singer Eddy Christiani recorded a still popular Netherlandish translation/interpretation of the song Bouquetje Rode Rozen that has been attributed to other Netherlandish songwriters. Because of the moment of release these Netherlandish claims are obviously fraudulent.
- In 1975, Mickey Gilley recorded the song which peaked at number eleven on the country chart.[4]
