Various French artists have recorded a cover of a Norman Petty work and in French the song is called "Marche des gens heureux". It does not sound particulary like a Buddy Holly song to me, but the 1950s is not my strong suit........

Here one can hear [[

|the version]] by Les 3 Ménestrels.

Anyone any idea?

I can only find version of "Find Me a Golden Street" as styled by The Shadows in 1962

It's the 1960 instrumental "Brass Buttons" by The String-A-Longs:
