This is a very old song, written in 1940 and the credits seem to be in dispute as Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell were originally credited, but they bought the rights from Paul Rice who had put his name on it...also a Pud Brown had something to do with it as well...confusing...see link below...seems Jimmie Davis was the first to record it, with hundreds following...
Also just learned that this is an official song of the State of Louisiana...

Do you remember Governor Jimmy Davis of Louisiana who wrote the song "You Are My Sunshine?" Made a Top 40 hit of it back when Ray Charles was in knee pants.

A governor of Louisiana, a long time ago.
His name was Jimmy Davis. He was quite a character.
