Yep, different songs, same name.

Here's another hint:-

Edith Piaf.

~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, Lester & Earl are legendary, but they came along in the late 1940's, after WWII, the Carters came out of West Virginia in the late 1920's and that was a different time and place. Lester & Earl showed us how technically great this music form can be, but the Carters brought much of the West Virginia sound of a previous generation into the popular arena, and it hits you right in the guts. As you know Rick, I live in The Land of Oz, but I grew up listening to The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers, and I guess I've never advanced much past that.
