JUSTIN BIEBER 1998-2012 FELL DOWN A ONE HUNDRED STORY BUILDING AFTER CHASING THE GIFL FROM BABY VIDEO TO THE TOP NOW HE IN HELL FOR RAPING A NEWBORN BABY. NOBODY GONNA MISS HIM NOW. GRAVEDIGGER.

[Crazymofoinamajikbox]

@vaccumenhancer439 Bieber was born in '94 -.- and how dare you bring him into a Willie Nelson Video?

[ChiefWahooMcDaniels]

You know you're the shit when Willie Nelson does his own rendition of your song.

[urbanpsych0]

@ChiefWahooMcDaniels i love it when a solid country gold artist sings a the shit out of a song they didn't write and did it better. like Hurt sung by Cash

[Anlimema]

Hello Everyone!

It’s Music that’s keeping me alive.

My life is so difficult and the only thing to forget my problems is the Music.

All of you will think I’m crazy but you’re wrong

Because singing and writing I can be who really I am.

I’m so grateful because now I can smile, dreaming, screaming. (And I owe it all to music and to god)

Well, I made some covers and I just upload it to my channel and I’ll be grateful if you stop by my channel and check it out.

Thank you so much!!

[americansoldier120]

[LOBOFRONTERIZO]

@americansoldier120 in mine too

[DirtyJoe333]

1 more added to my funeral service man if u dont love music of all kinds dont come to my MY DAY

[lolblackops4life]

when i die play this song at my funeral then throw me in a bar ditch

[earlthesquirrle]

@lolblackops4life " that is funny" " throw me in a bar ditch" these words should be used in willies next video; very funny stuff...GOD bless you

[lolblackops4life]

@earlthesquirrle thanks i love this song

[FallaciousGee]

Hrm, I guess if you're really old and smoke pot you're allowed to make bad covers of bad songs. Didn't know that.

[SchwackPA]

@FallaciousGee Get off the video then faggot.

[TheMossBoss77]

@SchwackPA i second that

[kevo1137]

@TheMossBoss77 I 3rd it, and i'm a Fag! :)

[Hunorrrr]

Willie is 74 in this video (now 78)! And he looks very good! Keep it up!

[elvira1023dianna]

The Dave Mathews Band has nothing on this version.Willie did it a million times better hands down!

[elocetan]

the Red Headed Stranger..... too cool!!

[PorterFamilyBand]

Did not realize that this was a Dave Matthews song...much more fitting and done well by Willie.

[Bllackguard666]

Props to Willie, loved him since I was 6 (30 years now, lol) and didn't know he put out this album, but it's awesome. He's gotta be 80 or so, and has the health and spark of a 40 year old. God's looking on this man. Epic all the way. Keep rockin', Willie!

[Pondebong]

@Bllackguard666 He is 78 haha.

[Bllackguard666]

@Pondebong :D close! lol

[KdBrad1985]

if you like this version you should def. hear Dave Matthews version ! It ROCKS :-)

[starr522]

Is is a Dave Matthews song without question. And us Willie Nelson fans thank Dave for bringing it to Willie. Both do an outstanding performance of this song. Dave wrote a very deep and powerful song. Well done.

[kwilson196]

This song is brilliant. No matter what or who's version. It's so incredibly powerful.

[podget]

I love willie nelson but this is horrible

[ielliw76]

Sorry but Dave who? This is Willie Nelson

[scuba2nd]

you don;t even know how amazing this sounds with some legit headphones!

[SmyliSuicide]

what album is this on

[Davidstalvey]

Dave Matthews is MUCH better... BY FAR!! I dont even like the willie nelson version.. NO emotion at alll... Totally ruins the song..

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

@Davidstalvey That assertion is ridiculous! Apparently that silly frat-boy appealing soft rocker DM can write a decent song, but I would never have known that unless someone with the gravitas of WN chosen to len his timeless voice to it. As to the original, I can die happy with out ever hearing it. You would probably think that the NIN version of "hurt" was better than Johnny Cash's too, lol.

[ghintz12]

@LetsGoMetsGo33 How dare you! Dave Matthews is the man!

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

@ghintz12 Ok, maybe I over reacted. To be honest, I had, I think its called "under the table and dreaming", on CD what seems like 100 years ago, and I remember the first 3 tracks were ok ("what would you say" I think was one of them) and the rest was, IMHO, very boring. My interest declined much further since then. But to each there own, we are all music fans here. But see, the guy was degrading WN at DM's expense. That's almost blasphemy! (my bad tho, 2 wrongs do not equal a right :P)

[ghintz12]

@LetsGoMetsGo33 I do agreee with you, Willie is a great artest. I agree with him though about this song. Dave does a much better job.

[KaraAnimee]

The actual lyrics are from a nursery song that is actually like :

 Ring-a-ring-a-roses,

A pocket full of posies;

Hush! hush! hush! hush!

We’re all tumbled down.

[KaraAnimee]

Wait a minute ! From 1:37 to 1:59 doesn't he sing the lyrics from Korn's song, Shoots and Ladders ? The old man is so cool !

[LeadSlinger89]

@KaraAnimee i hope youre joking.....lol

[MrFatkids4life]

@KaraAnimee You my good sir, are quite ignorant.

[ghintz12]

This isn't that bad, but I prefer Dave Matthews better. He sings it with a lot more passion.

[jojomigao1]

O melhor cantor que já ouvi na minha vida!

[mafianaut]

this is a great song, but i sincerely hope i don't have to dig my own grave, be my own priest, and drive my friends and family to my funeral.

[Hiltimannen]

Diggit mens for my Likiet...

[fjkman21]

Song that will last.

[VasileDicu]

A big hits, Willie Nelson brand! Congratulations, production "VEVO "!***

[Misscountrytomboy]

willie nelon is 78 years old :( <3

[countrygirl56777777]

AWESOME SONG!!!! WILLIE NELSON IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[FuckTheWorld623]

Chills...

[saber1epee0]

The first time I heard this song was at a youth retreat. The kid performed it with a single acoustic guitar and had the kind of bass pitch that made the song seem alive.

[Bridgeknapek]

Fucken LOVE IT!

[rosiesbear99]

I just love Willy..............

[mightyflux]

Flashbacks from the summer of 08. Strong ones too.

[mikedonn71]

Saying you hate this song is like saying you hate the Statue of Liberty or Rocky Mountain National Park. How can anyone hate Willie Nelson? He's iconic.

[MrBizzmarky76]

Willie Nelson is allowed to do whatever the fuck song he pleases.

[MrTrentjr]

willie nelson is one of the best

[weezer619]

Did dave originally wright this song?

[hgvxzstezrdfcutd]

@weezer619 ya dave did the original

[saiaung001]

@ThePixelFaerie wht the fuck? why fuck fuck fuck? when u die, i'll dig a grave for u..

[startrek1992]

Good song greetings from Finland.

[Killersfrombeyond]

75 Dislikes? Who, in the hell would dislike this?

[nestcanz]

75 people already dug their graves

[billthegangsta]

wow....willie nelson butchered this song...this literally makes me sad... why would he do that to my song?

[jewkillernz]

mr nelson you are an amazing slice of american music and social culture,

bless you sir,i hope the system doesnt interfere in your private life anymore than it has.

[OmniTron1000]

fucking budweiser ads....fuck that shit, tastes like ass. just get to the vid...you know....the reason why I came here....

[eazyone12001]

no hurry to get into the next life but this song realy is a cool song any version

[CodyT3212]

When the "ashes to ashes" part kicks in I get goosebumps.

[mickjagger64]

He's a old dude now. Still a cool motherfucker.

[sandman842]

This versions suckkss

[J0ELSTJ0HN]

Check my channel for a cover of this tune.....hope you don't hate it! Cheers, guys!!



[bo88gdan]

Волео бих да ова песма нема крај.Вили Мајсторчино !

[Feelthefx]

this is the only 'vevo' chanel ill sub to

[badazz876]

1/2 of the people who are arguing which version is better : dave`s or willie`s , do not even really understand the meaning and the point of the song .

[TheDemonStr]

Ι want this song playing at my funeral

[jeffguybersen]

@TheDemonStr You could probably get that done....shoot i think hes gonna live to be 103 so he'll be around. ..haha :D

[TheDemonStr]

@jeffguybersen

im sorry but i cant understand your english :P

[lolblackops4life]

@TheDemonStr amen!!

[MrsQuackJones420]

Seeing Willie in concert tomorrow. Stoked!

[McBeck1960]

So,,, That I can FEEL the rain, Gravedigger.

[GmMkr]

@McBeck1960 Thank you, Beck. Your insightful comments will be in the hearts of millions for generations

I like both version. They're very... saddening, actually. Amazing; how touching these songs are, I mean.

[McBeck1960]

U Should NEVER to HAVE to bury YOUR OWN BABIES!!!!!! PLZ , MAKE IT SHALLOW!!!

[cheetagirl72]

hehe_that_guys_really_old

[AbuBishir]

IT would be an honor to smoke some weed with this man and jam

[MrJira7]

MILUJI WILLIE NELSNA, NEJÚŽASNĚJŠÍ SKLADBA VŠECH DOB..

[DomAmorim]

to make your life easier when the video ends just click => 0:00

[nicholas1796]

One of the best singers of all time. Long live Willie.

[cflonnes]

I'm a Willie fanatic, but he's kno actor. lol

[spiritusmundi70]

The redheaded stranger is still going strong. 

[snoookie456]

There is actually a live performance of this song with Willie Nelson AND Dave Matthews ...

But I've never really been a huge Willie Nelson fan and when I hear Dave sing it I can hear the soul in it...

[jmw0323]

Awesome song



[MattBOrange]

@DEVOXxCANADAxX he aint dead YET.

[DEVOXxCANADAxX]

@MattBOrange Singing about his grave and digging it is just plain bad luck!

[142960012301]

Awesome !!

[vjlcolo]

Willie nelson, beerfest was awesome

[clynne85]

This is a great song and though I liked dave matthews version I have to say willie has that great wrasp and his stuff is just amazing any real music lovers can recognize talent like his and respect the song

[clynne85]

Love it

[jerryn9257]

dave mathews sucks ass compared to willie at this:P

[SYD9346]

@jerryn9257 To say Dave sucks ass is a great disrespect to the man who WROTE this amazing song.. Obviously Willie knows great song writing and had great respect for Dave's original version.. If he would have never even wrote this song, you never would be hearing Willie singing it, and putting down Dave's incredible talent.. Your musical genre is your own, but give respect where respect is due.. To Dave Matthews..

[TartLit]

damn I effing love Willie's stoned ass. I love Dave's version, but what an HONOR to have Willie cover your song!!!

[shabfarhadi]

Dave's version is better because its the original.

[danjhicks]

I am not a big Willie Nelson fan, but I love this song and this video is one of my all-time favorites. So well done, so dark and moody, so full of pain hope and just beautiful. I know this is a cover, but Willie has made it his own and this is the best video for the song by far, in my opinion.

[GotThaFunk227]

This is Dave's song!! And its prettier than this guy's version!

[XxMasterchef18xX]

this copy was ok but i much rather prefer DMB over this, not much different sounds goin on with this one, too boring :p

[Donnszelc]

@XxMasterchef18xX fuck you lol jk :P opinion matters

[vtreadway1140]

i love willie nelson i love this song and always on my mind

[MrAndrewsiii]

I like the song but it doesn't play worth a shit

[rooster0327]

WILLIES VERSION IS BETTER SHUT UP YOU FUCKING TROLLS

[Breazeale93]

Love it. But nothing can touch DMB's. Simply amazing.

[kittysaur13]

does it matter who does this song? if you like this version, or the other, it shouldnt matter... if you like it, you like it, if you dont, you dont, and if youre gunna be cruel against either artist for being famous and having their name out there and doing/trying their best...at least trying at all...then doint say anything to begin with...

[jgjs1031]

@DrCoopenstein thank you, someone who actually know what they are talking about lol

[aznfood253]

Daves Version Is Better

[jgjs1031]

does anybody who leaves comments actually know what they are talking about? I see many comments saying that dave's "version" sucks or his "version" is good, its dave's damn song so anybody else is doing their VERSION of dave's ORIGINAL SONG.

[johnbarton89]

This is a true Willie song not a Dave song!

[jgjs1031]

@johnbarton89 ......but dave wrote it and does it better

[tyle4ful]

@johnbarton89 I Agree, Willie Nelson Did A Better Job With It.

[jgjs1031]

This isn't bad, but Dave does it better cause Dave is the man, and people who think that he isnt one of the greatest song writers of this generation are just blind to what music really is.

[estherebekah]

Dave Mathews did this song justice...

[Anlimema]

HEY EVERYBODY!

Can you help this little dreamer?

I’m 17 years old, I sing and write songs

I’m in a small town, but I’m have big dreams

My dream is to be a singer, music is my life music is my passion.

And I would like that my dream can come true with the help of you guys.

So please give me the opportunity to show you that I can be a great singer and stop by my channel “anlimema” and check out my acapella.

Thank you so much, your support really means the world to me.

[meirab13]

This version isn't bad, but this is Dave Matthew's song. He wrote it, it's his first single.

[R6carter]

@meirab13 who cares his version SUCKED!!!!

[clkelley2s]

when you hear a real voice like this with their lyrics, you realize how stupid DMB is...

[effects69]

This song is nothing but incredible.

[MidwestSniper]

Willie is a god, Dave Matthews is a bitch

[suzanator339]

omg....dave matthews the greatest musician???? barf!

[DmB4LiFe420eL]

CORRECTION TO ALL!!!!!!!!!

DAVE MATTHEWS WROTE THIS IN 03'

DEBUT of his first SOLO ALBUM "Some Devil"

DAVE IS THE GREATEST MUSICIAN TODAY!!

[BlackDude41]

Cmon guys wht are we arguing about which version is better, Cant we just agree they are both awesome? Dave Matthews said himself that Willes Nelsons version is "The way it should be sung" But that doesnt mean we should argue about which is better. Dave and Willie have much respect for eachother and they would probably think were dumb for arguing over this. (Personally I perfer Daves version but I have alot of respect for Willie) Both are great versions in their own way. Now just enjoy the song!

[mnjames7]

@BlackDude41 i have to formally disagree i belive willy did it better but mad props go to dave for making the song his was to rocky and hyper willies seems more right not only by the way it sounds but who sings it

[dannyboy329]

I'll be in Chicago for the Caravan

[WiseDreckman]

Meh, Its not as good as Dave's,

Btw who is going to the caravan Tour???

[Matt9001000]

this version is ok. BUT DAVE;S IS THE ORIGINAL AND IS THE SHIT

[Zeppelintroll69]

Such a wise man,heard the story about him getting caught by his ol lady laying in bed with some chick,he uses that golden tonuge to say theres nothing going on here.I think that shows mad skills,much respect to Willie one of the all time great minds of our time.

[zaperfan]

Great number Great artist Willie still rocking love it

[captainchill4813]

And i thought all this time DMB wrote this song. what a fool i am.

[BlackDude41]

@captainchill4813 Lol this DMB wrote this in 04, Nelsons version is was made in 08

[MegaAnonymousme]

America is like the "Black Sheep" of the family. Almost everybody from other country's has to talk shit on the states because their upset that their country is so shitty.

"Money is the milk for America" No shit idiot! Money is make the world go around, well for any corporation no matter it location. Just blame it on America,because you can't blame your self.

Money, The Root Of All Evil

[mrwildcats5]

Shut the fuck up Matt and kim!!

[MegaAnonymousme]

[mysticphoebos]

Shut the fuck up and watch through the ads, enjoy the music and stop bitching.

[mysticphoebos]

@7drift0king2 fuck off clown YouTube is owned by NSA Google, they don't need nothing you fool.

[7drift0king2]

@mysticphoebos You FUCKING DUMB ASS. Money is the mother's milk for America. These greedy corporate bastards will do anything to get their money.

Personally, i dont believe they deserve anything, but that doesn't stop them does it?

[MegaAnonymousme]

@7drift0king2 Even the greedy Automotive industry and that includes others like Nissan, Toyota, Mazda...ext

Just blame it on America, you fucking ignorant dumb ass, because you can't blame it on your self.

[MegaAnonymousme]
