Origin of Jenkins Stage Name--------- Jenkins felt that his real name wasn't marketable, and he changed his show business name in 1957. (Harold Lloyd Jenkins would always remain his legal name, however). Looking at a road map, he spotted Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas. Thus, he went with the professional name of "Conway Twitty".[citation needed]
Alternatively, Jenkins met a Richmond, VA, man named W. Conway Twitty Jr. through Jenkins' manager in a New York City restaurant. The manager served in the army with the real Conway Twitty. Later, the manager suggested to Jenkins that he take the name as his stage name because it had a ring to it. The Richmond Conway Twitty subsequently recorded the song, "What's in a Name But Trouble," in the mid-1960s, lamenting the loss of his name to Jenkins. The flip side of the 45 RPM record was "The Purple, Purple People Eater, Eater." (The more well known version of Purple People Eater, however, now having sold over 100,000,000 copies, was recorded by Sheb Wooley.)

Line by Line Meaning
I wonder if she'll even know I'm gone
I am uncertain if she'll acknowledge my absence.
Wish I could be there hidden if she cries
I wish to be present with her to comfort her in case she sheds tears.
'Cause leaving really won't be worth my trouble
Leaving will not be advantageous for me.
I wonder what she'll think about my leaving
I am curious about her thoughts concerning my departure.
Wish I could be there standing by her window
I wish to be present near her even though I can't be with her.
If I can't see the teardrops fill her eyes
In case I am unable to witness her getting emotional.
I'm almost sure her coldness never changes
I believe her aloofness is permanent.
When she finds the note about me being gone
When she stumbles upon the message accounting my absence.
But still I'd like to know it if I'm wrong
However, if in case I'm deluded, I would appreciate finding out the truth.
I wonder what she'll think about me leaving
I am curious again to know how my departure will influence her psychological state.
I'd like to see her standing all alone
I wish to see her by herself at least once.
If she hurts at all I'd like to know it happened
It won't pain me if she gets hurt, but I am eager to know if she encounters any pain.
I wonder of she'll notice that I'm gone
I am uncertain again if she'll even realize my absence.
