From Wikipedia,

Al Dexter (May 4, 1905 â January 28, 1984) was an American country musician and songwriter. He is best known for "Pistol Packin' Mama," a 1944 hit that was one of the most popular recordings of the World War II years and later became a hit again with a cover by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters.

That was recorded in May of 1938 and issued on the Vocalion label, #04174
Pistol Packin' Mama by Al Dexter & His Troopers is from 1943. It's about the only song I know of in which the singer sings his own name and then is killed.
Here's an answer, When Mussolini Laid His Pistol Down by Denver Darling. I think I have a version in my 78 rpm collection by Al Dexter.
