This is "The Soldier's Sweetheart", the very first song Jimmie Rodgers recorded. This was done by Ralph Peer on 4th of August 1927 in Bristol, Tennessee. This first record of Jimmie's sold well, but was not a hit. But, considering the fact that he was a totally unknown artist, the result was good. It was on the next recording session with Peer, in Camden, New Jersey, on the 30th of November, that Jimmie Rodgers sung his song "Blue Yodel", which became a total success and his break through as an artist. It started "T for Texas, T for Tennessee", as you know, and his yodelin' on this one gave him the name "America's Blue Yodeler". The flip side contained "Away out on the Mountain", also a success song. The rest is history.
