  • This is a great song!!!!

  • Fantastic

    

  • Does anyone remember an old bobby bare song that said "And you can send tomorrow to the moon"? I know it was bobby bare and it was prolly among his earliest work. I would love to hear that again.

  • Has anyone noticed his 12 string guitar!

  • This song is a classical.

  • Vietnam 1971,,,I can remember this one G.I. ,said he worked on the assembly line for Fo.Mo.Co.s Detroit plant,,,He would play this song over and over,,,and talk about his 1970 Mach1...I was`nt to fond of country music,,,but i liked this song,,every G.I. could relate to it...instead of Detroit (it was vietnam) Can`t remember his name,,but i sure hope he made it back home....

  • @georgehoop1 We also sang it back in 67/68 when I was there. Seem every time it would come on the radio we would all sing along. Extra loud on the "I wanna go home" part.

  • Lange gesucht das Original mit Bobby Bare. Ein Lied aus unserer Jugend um einige schöner als die meisten heutigen BumBum Ohrenbeleidiger

    Be enough searched the original with Bobby cash one. A song from our youth around some beautiful than most today's BumBum Ohrenbeleidiger

  • I am too young to remember this song, but what a classic!

  • my grandpa used to sing this song all the time, before he passed away :( !

  • Jerry Byrd on steel

  • When I was young & got homesick staying at my Grandma's she sang this song to me to make me laugh. I had no clue then who Bobby Bare was, this song brings back wonderful memories!

  • @momsher1 my granny would do the same thing....

  • ****And he's playing, 1 km from my home, in one week's time ;D****

  • @Eyjohnj where would that be my friend?

  • @Gatorrock787 in the great city of Klaksvík, in the Faroe Islands :)

  • @Eyjohnj At the 'Summerfestival'

  • My Favorite song In Vietnam

  • This guy can really sing. Lovely voice. Good with Skeeta Davis too.

  • The last song in my legendarie Club:)

  • He has an EXCELLENT voice!  =D

  • A great song. No matter where or what you are, it makes you home sick. I remember hearing it 30 years ago in the Army & wanted to go home then. Even now when I hear it here in California I still want to go home, even though mam & daddy are gone now. Thanks for posting this great hit.

  • Love that Epi!!! And Marie Laveau is by Shel Silvertein, as so many of Bobby's songs were.

  • @frederickus sorry pal but "marie laveau" is a new orleans traditional of which the basics have been used by shel silverstein, performed by dr. hook & the medicine show. i got an old new orleans record of the early fifties with marie laveau on it by trumpet player "papa" celestin and his band. hard to find though.............

  • @frederickus i just found the 50ies version of "marie laveau" which i mentioned in my comment before by papa celestin on youtube. i´m amazed what you can find here......

  • Not his biggest hit. That would be "Marie Laveau" in 1974

  • Makes me think of mom

  • 49 arir

    mein sohn fliegt gerade nach detroit nach einem weihnachtsbesuch in germany.

    das lied macht mich aus diesem grunde traurig, obwohl ich es gut finde.

  • If I was stuck in Detroit I would want to go anywhere! Great Song!

  • I wanna go home,

    I wanna go home,

    oh I wanna go home.

    Last night I had a sleep in Detroit city...

    Still today this classic is nice over and over again. Bobby Bare became on 7.4. 75 years old. Many thanks for this great song from Germany.

  • Great song for anyone who like me suffers from homesickness.

  • Great, Bobby will be performing free in southern Illinois on June 19th, Sesser City Park.
