This one is OK, too.
BTW the original was not by the Shadows.
Best regards

Yes, I was aware the Shads didn't record the original but theirs is probably the version we are most familiar with and the one most of us heard first.

Whilst I love the Shad's version, the original, by Santo & Johnny was, in my opinion, the best.

I agree with Noel.
Here are two more great versions:
Leo Kotke and Chet Atkins

That version he does of Petite Fleur is pretty tasty too
Sorry to take this off track.
I like his version of Sleepwalk too

There was also a very good version by the Ventures on You Tube some months ago, with Nokie playing a superb treatment with some of his excellent fingerpicking on his Hitchhiker guitar- I think it was a live stage clip from their 2004 tour.
The original guitar instrumental version by Santo and Johnny from about 1959- with lap steel guitar lead melody- is an all time classic I think- beautiful sound and tune.
