Hawkshaw Hawkins was a popular country music singer who died tragically in a plane crash three days after releasing "Lonesome 7-7203".

Justin Tubb, son of the well-known country singer Ernest Tubb, wrote the song.

Jean Shepard, Hawkshaw Hawkins's wife and also a country music singer, had actually recorded the song for Capitol Records about a year before Hawkshaw recorded it, but it was never released.

Hawkins later told her that he would record it if Capitol didn't release it.

Despite Hawkshaw Hawkins's death, the song became a major hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart,
