Rambling Cowboy,This song bothers me in a way. May I send the set of lyrics which

explain why this song has a negative effect with me?

[LittleSweety]

This song was 50 years ago no.6 in the world charts #everly #brothers

[claireh19770]

This was my bedtime song for years as a child - I can still see my Dad leaning on the door frame singing to me.... even more special now as he passed away almost 6 months ago.

[verbaud]

Sigh....Teenage Death Songs!

[LittleSweety]

This song was 50 years ago no.1 in the world charts #everly #brothers

This has me in tears every time I hear it.

[1960trudi]

erg mooi nummer, geweldig!

[lejeune1945]

The only night I sang this song in an( Everly--Cover) duo ,in 2 1hr appearances,I was asked 3! times for our group to repeat the song--by several 6ft 12inch "rocker"types--for their "Missus"--"And I'll buy you a pint"they said.Because of their size we concurred! I got our "Roadie"to roll a flashlight across the ceiling -(lights dimmed) when I spoke the words---"The plane was way overdue" and there was'many a tear in a ladies eye! .Beautiful song.

[ramblingcowboy]

thank you all once again for the support nice info you all share your memories its awesome thanks thanks i got to say it was the first video i made and posted on here and you all inspire me to post more if i cant find the original . thanks thanks thanks

[darleyabbeylad]

Good original, shows the rubbish copiers of this song up, trying to cash in on the two guys I met in Derby (England) in the early 60s, topping the bill, with the Rolling Stones at the bottom of the list!. Thanks for uploading.

[ramblingcowboy]

@darleyabbeylad never had the chance to meet them but will never forget there songs tho .

[justmusicandme]

Great post of the original - written by John D. Loudermilk. The Everlys did not sing this as part of their stage act until their Reunion concert in 1983, as part of what they called the "Deadly Medlley" - "Devoted To You," "Ebony Eyes" and "Love Hurts." Thank you for a terrific upload!

[buggeringon]

thanks for posting remember singing this as i walked across the lake district in england during a school holiday 

[tickyreal]

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS GEM BY THE EVERLY BROTHERS

[DON & PHIL EVERLY ARE NOT FOND OF THIS 'JOHN D. LOUDERMILK '' SONG, THEY ONLY TIME THEY SANG THIS LIVE WAS AT THEIR '' REUNION CONCERT'' IN LONDON], BUT IT GIVES ME THE CHILLS EVERY TIME I HEAR IT. Recorded in 1961 by The Everly Brothers (b/w "Walk Right Back"), and reached #8 on the US charts. The single, reached #1 in the UK charts. The song was initially banned by the BBC  radio !!!
