Does anyone remember this song?

[Jerry Hayes]

Back in the fifties when I was a kid there was a song played a lot on the radio called "Draw Up the Papers, Lawyer". As I remember, the artist did vocal impersonations on the record of people like Roy Acuff, Tex Ritter, Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, etc. The lyrics went like this:

Draw up the papers Lawyer,
What else is there to do.
Although she knows I love her,
She says that we are through.

With no one here to love him,
What's a man to do but roam.
So give her the key to your homestead,
For a woman needs a home.

Maybe some day in Heaven,
We hope can set things right.
So draw up the papers lawyer,
I'll sign them all tonight.

I'd like to know who the artist was. He also had another tune called "Before You Call" with impersonations on that one too. It'd probably be somewhere around the 1950-52 time frame.

Jerry,
I don't know for sure if it's the same singer or not, but an internet search brings up a Dave Landers as having recorded that song.
