Ronny Wayne “Ron” Davies (January 15, 1946 – October 30, 2003) was an American songwriter and musician.

The son of country singer Tex Dickerson, Ron took the name Davies after he and his siblings were adopted by their stepfather, Darby Davies. He began his professional songwriting career at the age of 17, when he wrote an entire album of songs for the Tacoma, Washington-based Wailers.
