Thank you for posting this song I have not heard this song in years. I just got done hearing the whole song it made me think of my two boys who are 11 and 14 . They are growing up so fast.
meh forget the sicko's i removed them...its a beautiful song and someday soon whats normal is gonna be accepted again! the revival is on!!! Jesus is comin and its goona be incredible =)
Let me say this..this song was the first song i heard after my son was born 18 years ago...it has NOT A DAMN THING TO DO WITH ABUSING A CHILD. it shows how children SHOULD BE PROTECTED and cherished..because once they are grown..and gone..you will miss them...how they enrich our lives, make a family, make life worth a damn...i have a wonderful son..and lost a daughter 11 years ago to heart failure, and miss her everyday since then..so it has NOT A DAMN THING to do with abusing children, grow up
I have read through this a few times now ... It amazes me that someone thought that the Oaks being fatherly (as they are all fathers and I think that at least Joe and Rich are Grandfathers now) is something sick ... didn't your dad tousle your hair, pat your back, pick you up?
Get a grip people the Oaks were even on the National Comitee to Prevent Child abuse.
i can't understand,why do ppl prey on kids,...I can tell you from Gods word,these child molesting sobs better like warm weather,if u don't believe me read Numbers 35 & if you want new testament read 2john 3:15 a murderer can(not)have salvation"in the flesh"so capital punishment,God not only approves,He insist on it,same for rape,i think thats doing things with innocent kids.you may think ur getting away with,just wait till you meet your MAKER u got a trail coming &the JUDGE has all the TRUTH....
Eddy Raven, one of my favorite country/cajun singers, origionaly wrote and preformed this song. However, I have to give the credit to the Oaks - No one could have done a better job at it then them.
Fuck any of you who think these guys are pedophilees or this is what this song is about. I dare any of who have kids of your own that you love to try to listen to this without a tear in your eye.
if you dont like the song dont come to it and no body is forcing christianity on nobody . its like a 4x4 better to have one and not need it than need it and not have it .you dont have to love or believe in god cause he loves you and believes in you as one of his children .you can curse me but it dont change nothing this is a message of love not hate .
Of course I never prsy to church (group of people), I pray to God. He's tne Father, not some guy in funny close who's just a man. Tnere's a big difference and He notices.

this is a video made by pedophiles for PEDOPHILES - a.k.a. jesus freaks who like to touch children indecently.
also, kids don't like to hear crapp about kids, they like robots and wizards and animals and etc, it's also wrong to impose religion on kids. for example: i hated jesus because they made me pray to him and i didn't understand why should I.
I like Ray Stevens, have posted about 10 on another youtube account, but I say if you accidently have him on this video- you can trim him off in Wndows Movie Maker.
My parent forced me to listen to this album every Christmas.. Now it's a tradition in my house to listen to it every Christmas with my children. Thank God for the Oakridge Boys!!
dude if they forced you to listen to this it means you hated it, don't make your kids listen to something they dislike, actually this video and the words together "when you ben down on your knees tonight.." it's toooootally pedophilic.
Remember taking my grandson there when he was small..now he's 24 and recently returned from Afghanistan. Thank you God, for kids..and keep them safe always!
Only Joe Bonsall is from Philly. Richard Sterban is a Jersey boy! Duane's from Texas and William Lee is from Alabama. Just thought you'd like to know! This is a great song..much appreciated!
LOVE EACH OTHER. GOD BLESS WE. AMEN.

For those interested - This video was shot at Sesame Place in Irving, Texas around 1982. Sesame Place closed and was demolished in 1985 I believe.

The idea that you had that thought about a children's song make me believe you have such feelings and I hope you're being treated.

I remember the Oaks preforming this song on "Sesame Street" in the early 1980's - I was probably about four years old then.

and now you should understand it's useless to pray to an instituitionalized myth used to manipulate masses.

All children are innocent. This song says exactly what it means. I love it and will share it with my child.
