A Willie Nelson Wednesday And Some Pretty Paper [VIDEO]

On this Willie Nelson Wednesday, we'll take a look and listen to a Christmas classic that was written by the red headed stranger.

The song "Pretty Paper" was written by Willie back in the early 60's. At the time, Nelson was a member of country music legend Ray Price's band.

When Willie wrote this song, he had also penned some other songs that would become standards; "Funny How Time Slips Away" and "Hello Walls", a song that would be a huge hit for Faron Young.

"Pretty Paper" became a hit for another fellow Texan, Roy Orbison. His version peaked at Number Six on the chart in December of 1964.

So here are both versions of the song and "Merry Christmas".
