Hello Vera,
"Deck Of Cards" was written and originally recorded by T. Texas Tyler in 1948. In that same year, it was also recorded by both Phil Harris and Tex Ritter.
"A Lesson In Leavin'" was originally a hit for Dottie West in 1980.
Glad to be of help. Cheers.........Mel.

Expertise
I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
