Jimmie Rodgers - Daddy and Home

[71powerwagon]

8 dislikes fuck you!!!!! I wish you were in front of me!!!I would knock all 8 of you out!!! I bet your a bunch of niggers!!or fags!

[cldd5678]

Now this is country I can get into. Classic country is fantastic. Everything in the genre these days is so "America ra ra ra!". It's sad because it can be so much better than it is. Maybe it's just me, but that's how I see it at least.

[TheStormtrooper94]

Songs back then had meaning, now it seems musicians just care about their celebrity status rather than their music, Jimmie is the meaning of inspiration and continues to live on.

[John55son]

The two names--Strobel & Martin--on the railroad call board were Jimmy's old pals. They later served as pall bearers at Jimmie's funeral.

[John55son]

Jimmie was the first inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[demaevely]

Well foryourhead- My great grandpaw jessie rodger's took the D out of the last name and made it roger's, so go sit ón that ass wipe. Im blood to jessie and to Jimmy rodgers !!!

[demaevely]

I am a by blood/ DNA a part of Jimmy , he was my great grandpaw's Jessie Otto Rogers first cuz's!!! cool huh well it get's cooler I'm going to try and sing for all of the fans out there who would like to hear his songs and mine one day . p.s. It's crazy but I can sing allmost anything . I would like to bring this family back to the top , pray for me to make it there . RIP to my mother Lisa Ann Roger's and Jimmy and you two grandpaw and great grandpaw, now Im gona hit the hay night yall.

[foryourhead]

@demaevely Hmm...and yet you don't even know how to spell your own family name. Its "Rodgers" with a "d". Nice try though, dipshit.

[shaneh1983]

great song

[LuvLivNeverDie]

I absolutely love this music every one says I'm born in the wrong generation(being I'm only 16)... but just this one song is better than any of the music today....(even modern country is become more of a hip hop tone)

[pyrofella]

Which movie is this clip from?

[capehorner1940]

This is the first video I have ever seen of Jimmy. I have loved him since my boyhood.

I am now 70 years old but I still remember sitting round a peat fire in the Falkland Islands listening to him.

[ike2729]

jimmy best friend was his daddy aaron

[Pentagonshark666]

For all people who understand of english this is the best song of dad/father.

your personal father is the important thing in life and Jimmie noticed it.

[rebelrandle]

For my Dad, 9-29-13 to 10-23-2005 RIP

[perthcampsie]

Pure Brill , used to have a few 78.s when i was a boy here in Bonnie Scotland

[Pentagonshark666]

This is saddest song ever.

[Gr8tLakesLady]

Sitting here in tears, this brings back memories growing up. Every Sunday dad and mom would play their old records. Sadly, they both passed before either were 'white haired'. Jimmie Rogers, Hank Snow, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, The Carter Family and I use to think mom and dad would be here forever too.

[truemancoyote]

Thanks for the video. My Daddy and my home are in Meridian so this is my favorite Jimmy song!

[jamboa2003]

Thank you for posting these videos.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Jimmie Rodgers touched so many people with his words and music.

He is loved by countless fans to this day.

George Vreeland Hill

[simonne234]

@GeorgeVreelandHill So nice to see that other folks like to listen to this music......those must have been the days for music.......love the yodeling......I did a little yodeling in my younger days but I think I learned it from listnening to old music of Jimmy

[dig4tunes]

I've been listening to Jimmie Rodgers since I was in my teens(early 50's) and have never grown tired of listening to his music. I rememer that YouTube used to have only 1 video and now I find all these wonderful videos. Does anyone know their source and when they were taped? Whoever uploaded them did us a truly wonderful, heartwarming service.

[kirkconway]

Jimmie had a hunbleness in his song's that were so poingant,

that it really touched you heart when He would play them,

the Daddy Song and Waiting For a Train and T, for Texas,T for Tennesee,

Ther'll never be another like him,

[rondavonponda]

My mom has several records of Jimmie Rogers and I love every song. I had heard about his having Tuberculosis and that just saddened me. I especially love this song and have sang it often with mom, because my gandfather was a huge fan of his music.

[raditzthecabbage]

I can feel this song more than his blues records (which send shivers down my spine) and I don't even have a dad, which may be half the reason why this song makes me feel sad, i've never had anyone in my life. Hearing a son singing about his best friend (his dad) brings a tear to my eye. Great record!

[queballed]

My Dad has been gone since 1991. Jimmy's music always reminds me of him. Dad was a true blue fan of his. He wasn't into frivolous things but he had a collection of old 10in records of Jimmie Rodgers he bought after he returned home from the war in the pacific in the Marine Corps in 1946. Pop truly loved his music.

[karumiya]

sentido!

[danelsons]

I am proud to say if I'm half the man my dad was i'd be a great man!

I love and miss you dad.

[MrPointyarrow]

my dad is dead

[nanksyhanks]

I listened to this again on Father's. Day, and thought how similar Gene Autry's Silver Haired Daddy is to this. I miss my Daddy so much

[inmann]

my Dad and Jimmie were very good friends up till Jimmie died. God bless him

[nanksyhanks]

I think I like this best of all theone's posted. Sad that he never made any money from all of his songs. Clint Eastwood made a picture about a " lunger" who sang as long as he could and died after his last song was sung. It was called "Songwriter", probably his best picture.

[crossroadsndfs]

@nanksyhanks

Actually, it was "Honky Tonk Man." It featured Eastwoods own son, as well as several country musicians, including Ray Price, Merle Travis and Johnny Gimble. Marty Robbins sand the title track. I know all this only because it was one of my favorites, too.

[BurnDownTheMast]

legend

[chickapee62]

Tanya Tucker did a rendition of this.. My father knows the chords...

[onebaud]

When you have tears streaking down your cheeks, I don't think the color of the cheeks matters.

[loookehere]

Does anybody know the chords he is playing in? I so bad wanna just sit back and strum along but don't know the tuning or chords.

[HueyRocks23]

@loookehere For standard tuning it's C-G7-C-F-C-D7....adding a 7th (like C7) can also work. The recording here is a bit higher in key so it may sound a bit off, but it still works. You can always tune the guitar up a bit to be in the same key with Jimmie. Keep on strummin'.

[loookehere]

you rock huey. Thanks. When i capo the first fret those chords are right on.

[NotTooFar936]

Another great song I had forgotten about. The internet can be great.

[1973slimshady1973]

R.i.P DADDY i forgive you for never being there im so sry you had to die by gun shots i hope i make you proud

[texlavallee]

hi- jimmie rodgers was great, check my youtube posting texlavallee

[kirkconway]

there was no one like Jimmie rodger's, and he had a style of playing before anyone else in the world thought of it,

he had a humbleness that was really something, and he was born in the rough area of the US back when there wasnt anything but farming or rural life,

[cyberbard]

Fantastic stuff. Thank you for uploading this.

[myledbettersong]

leadbelly does it better you can get it on i tunes or napster but its called Daddy im coming back to you.

[kirkconway]

I beg to differ with you

Jimmie is the best no matter what anyone says,

He was progenitor of anything country and got the style going before anyone,

[pds3939]

I'm which ya, man! A white dude can't feel what our peoples been through! He must have learnt it from some Black dudes!

[PenisandWangOhYes]

@pds3939 Since you're alive in this generation, you don't really know what it's like either...

So shut up..

[myledbettersong]

who wrote this song jimmie or leadbelly? anyone know the date on this

[ejdiii333]

I have the entire jimmie rodgers sog book collection, he is credited with writting this song. but jimmie himself often said he had heard many songs, or parts of for years, and they belonged to the rural folk of the old days, so who knows on most of them. but being the father of coutry music, he lived the songs he sang,and never forgot his rural, poor roots, especially the hard times and good music.

[boundryrider]

Hi there, The song was originally co-written by Jimmie Rodgers and his sister in law Elsie McWilliams. It was recorded on the 2nd of December 1928. Elsie and Jimmie co-wrote a lot of his most famous songs.

[kennycreeper]

This is some of the most beautiful music I've heard. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[sugarbear912]

lol i hope all of you know this means alot to my family. Jimmie Rogers is my Granpas dads step brother. Its so cool that im related to him. And if you dont belive me look it up my familys last name is Hodge.

[bluegrasscannuk]

I am sure you must be very proud to claim Jimmie Rodgers as a distant relative.

I know that I would be too.

[bhs0839]

Hi, sugarbear -- My family's last name is Hodges -- but I'm not kin to Jimmie!

[uglyluke12]

should have been in fallout 3.

[kuzztau]

Historical video. What a nice sound of his guitar. Musical equipments are not so good like today, but sounds real good.

I love Jimmie Rodgers.

[ClassicRockStays116]

so beautiful. i love jimmie.

[onlyyou1979]

Rest in peace.Jimmy. I'll remember you forever.

[LCMSJ]

谢谢 这首歌我最喜欢了 并且已经下载来

[pds3939]

[pds3939]

Don't know what I was thinking! I love Jimmie!  Please forgive me if I sounded disrespective!

[RandyHaddock]

Thank you so much for uploading all these Jimmie Rodgers videos!

[pwlaslo]

Huddie Ledbetter does a wonderful rendition of this tune! I wish it was on youtube.

[singmeluv]

Jimmy Rodgers was one of the old time best singers and I'm sad he died so young.

Love this song, makes me miss my dear sweet dad.

[Ullarobinlilly]

[pasco3]

thanks so much

Dave

[bhs0839]

This is one of his best. One can certainly understand why singers like Gene Autry and Ernest Tubb wanted to sound like him!

[bluestreetcar]

Breathless...

WOW *****stars, hands down ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

[Lightning7smith]

i think jimmie rodgers never got the damn credit he deserved without him their would be no country music

[oldcountrytunes]

Ole Jimmie did not have any bad songs. Thanks for this one. 5 stars.

[broncose1]

Another good one.I was a "daddy's girl" and I miss my Dad. Thank you J.T. for sending another great song.I enjoyed it. Shirley

5*****'s

[H0chmeister]

This has to be one of the best songs ever sung..Why did he have to die so young?

[LeanaJo76]

He was already suffering from Tuberculosis when he was singing. In his last recordings he had to have a cot nearby so he could lay down and rest between recording songs.

Very sad ending for a magnificent singer (The Father Of Country Music).

[pentfixion]

I have his last recorded song posted, if anyone might be interested. Sorry to spam.

[ManilaSyndicate]

One of his best. Stirring music and moving lyrics.

[hoopdreams03]

go jimmie ... this is my great great uncle.. luv u family

[dallassvolk]

Dads need love too!

[leadbelly39]

If I'm not mistaken, at 1:23 he bars an A chord.

I find that interesting.

[1973slimshady1973]

my dad was killd by cops when i was 2 this song is the best

[Arkansasmountains]

I grew up listening to my Dad play Jimmys records.He also played guitar and could yodel pretty good. What great memories these bring back to me.I lost my Dad when I was 8 and this song always cokes me up.

[Canopio]

What happened to T for Texas?

[imkingdad]

A great song to remember my Daddy by. Every child should hear this.

[iluvme83]

Thanks so much for these.. I remember my Grandpa singing his songs to me when I was little... yesterday would have been his 88th birthday and I wish he was here to still sing these to me.

[christofersk8s]

thax so much most the hank 3 kid dont even know how deep thees roots run

[kelliebelly2323]

This is one of the greastest there was. Keep downloading please.

[djord34]

jimmy is the best.the song i like is daddy at home. keep him on and get more of im

[lobizoon1]

He is the best blues white singer!

[boogiewoogieflu]

"That's beautiful Jimmie" What a great blue song! I love he's blue jodeling:) Thanks a million for posting this piece of art when Jimmie's singing from his heart:):)

[annieo92220]

Thank you. This is great. And his clothes, the overalls and capare precious. Reminds me of my dad. Great singer too. My dad would be 111 yrs old if a live so they were close in age.

[yelserpsivle]

I wonder how old that old lady would have been today.. Jimmie would have been 110 years old if he lived today :P

[hallabalooza]

hehe on his guitar neck he's got his name if you look closer

[docsavage98]

This guitar got handed down by his widow to Ernest Tubb who toured with it in his early years...it got equal billing to Ernest and about as many folks came to see the guitar as to hear ET

[Dannys998877]

I wonder where the guitar went after Ernest Tubb's death. It should be used by a great star.....or maybe be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[docsavage98]

I'm pretty sure it's either in the Hall of Fame or at Ernest's Record Shop Downtown.

[ishmaelvolkoff1]

The famed guitar of the yodeling brakeman? It's in Meridian Mississippi, in a museum dedicated to Jimmie.

[docsavage98]

Really? I thought Ernest Tubb donated it to the Hall of Fame. Oh well, learn something new every day :)

[boundryrider]

Thanks for posting this music from the greatest of them all.

[Gaybeertje1]

Discovered this man some weeks ago with the song "My old pal". Just love it.

[ZIMWOW]

THE BEST OF THE BEST

[sucram94d]

It is not possible for me to find ANY Jimmie Rodgers (the singing Brakeman) song that I dislike. Thanks for the videos. Just 10 years ago, it was not normal to even find a record that was clear and free of the back-ground noises that are so common on the old 78s but now, you have videos of such wonderful condition!

[derbilmotion]

So beautiful and so thoughtful. I'm going to share this one with everybody I know this Father's Day.

[donods]

Awesome, thanks for sharing

[coffeescup]

I love this. You made my day

[VA24541]

I have seen a few clips of Jimmie rodgers, but none as awesome as these. The audio & video are both exceptionally good. I really appreciate the fact these have been posted for us to see & hear. What a treat.

[basserase]

I am totally awed. I had no idea clips like this even existed, and the sound is great. Thank you for posting this. Jimmy Rogers ROCKS!

[SGraal]

Very good, i'm happy to see, that in this sad days we live on, we can steel listen to the good songs of the old days.

[mptickner]

i appreciate you posting these recordings.

[ihatecelebrities]

just one of the boys, so im starting back home tonight, you made my boyhood happy but still i long to roammmm

[goodhatch]

Good ol' Jimmie said "if you use more than three chords in a song your bragging". What a huge pioneer of country music. Many thanks for the video !!

[tunein]

what a great song and performace. no bells and whistles. just sung from the heart.

[YodellingStoat]

Much appreciated. Yodelayheeyo-delayheehay-delay­heee!

[ravenmccloud]

Thanks, love to hear old pal.

[madmodpo]

Wow. Thanks

[Liamboyle03]
