Answer 1

The Deck of Cards" is a recitation that was popularized in both the country and popular music fields, first during the late 1940s. Written and originally recorded by T. Texas Tyler, this religious tale of a young soldier who is arrested after being found in possession of playing cards during a religious service, first became a hit in 1948.

Through the years, many artists recored cover versions. Both country music performer Tex Ritter and popular music artist Phil Harris both had hits in 1948. A well-known version was recorded in 1959 by future game show host Wink Martindale, and was performed on The Ed Sullivan Show. Other versions have been recorded by Max Bygraves (who had a hit in the United Kingdom in 1973) and country singer Bill Anderson (whose 1991 rendition was popularized during the Persian Gulf War."
