everyday of kindergarten.. my teacher would sing this to me... then i'd go home and my grandmother would sing this song to me.. 21 now, and now i love this song
when my mum was chosing a name for me, this was her favourite song at the time, so i am names off that, unfortunatly i am a girl so it has had to be changed slightly, so i am called Ruby Jane
I would just say that all songs should be listened to and realize what is being said...it's a song about love and friendship. Calling it a racist song is totally off-key.
all people are inharently racist.racisim is a teritoral trate in human d.n.a.left over from when people lived in tribes.left over trate from human evalution,when people were more like animals,teritoral
Fear GOD who hath power to cast you into HELL(Luke 12:5)! Fear God and depart from evil(Proverbs 3:7)! God is ANGRY with the wicked everyday(Psalm 7:11)! Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, there is NO OTHER WAY to be saved(John 14:6)! For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved(John 3:17)! TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND SUBMIT 2 THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST NOW! DON'T BOAST OF HAVING TOMORROW! Proverbs 27:1
Yes, you are right; this is not the original "radio release". More strings, and Kenny's voice isn't as rich and deep. Still, not bad, and gives a good representation of the original.
Nice re-record..anyone got the original?

Check out Conway Twitty's version. Even better IMHO. (Although I like the key change in the KR version...)

Reuben James was a young homosexual cowboy. Killed for having Broke Back cowboy butt sex. That is why Kenny made himself look like a woman
