Almost Persuaded (song)

[1] The song is about a married man who, while patronizing a tavern, sees a beautiful young woman and is instantly smitten.

However, when the two share a slow dance, he notices a reflection of his wedding ring literally in her eyes and, remembering his vows to his wife, leaves.

[citation needed] Later in 1966, singer-comedian Sheb Wooley, performing as Ben Colder, released a parody version entitled "Almost Persuaded No.

Here, an already-drunk man enters a barroom, sits down at a table and attempts to make conversation with a young woman seated there.

The two dance briefly until the woman's boyfriend steps in and makes the man leave.
