George and Ira Gershwin, the latter under his early pen name "Arthur Francis," wrote a of the same title. Howard Pollack wrote that the song "anticipates the similarly titled 'Happy Trails'" by Dale Evans. He noted that, due its level of "pathos," the song "deserves comparison with Charlie Chaplin's film music."
