[iagrl]

Beautifully done Willie. Thank you for sharing this I always loved this song.

Well, I'm 50 too... I have two lovely Border Collies...and yes, I prefer them to people as well :)

[mrjimmyhaggis1]

Willie this is such a lovely song. I've been a fan of Jim's music for more than 40 years. Didn't he just have perfect diction? Beautiful voice. Thank you for your upload. Best wishes. James Taylor - Edinburgh !

[MrWolfboy1984]

[MultiCalculus]

I had no idea this wa so old but even so I love it

[tartanlad1000]

Last year my Granddaughter was savaged by theree rottweilers but despite her injuries she insisted the dogs were not destroyed,being an owner of long haired German Shepherds for over thirty years and my Grandchildren being brought up with them i understand how she felt,does anyone know what i mean

edgrady45@yahoo.co.uk pleased to hear from you all.LOVELY SONG

[needsumluv]

[jameseyboy2008]

i aint heard this song in like 4 years, just come across it again last night, i started to cry and my little dog came and layed next to my on my bed :(

[wendytwizzle]

Hearing this song again has made me cry.There is no love stronger than the love from a dearly loved pet.I far prefer animals to people.

[xxxkiesha123xxx]

i love this song so much nd soo did my grandad but he is sadly dead now :'( xxx

[MMAWarriorDan]

Even after all these years this song makes me cry, it has so many childhood memories attached

[LargeRedRizla]

I like this song but its strange to me because my name is Tige.

[stormwatcher59]

After reading the heartfelt stories re people losing their best friend, there are a couple things I want to mention.

Your dog had a good home and was loved, take comfort in that fact.

When you are ready (or the 'right one' comes along) PLEASE share your

life with another one ~

You are a great pet owner and should be rewarded with the love of another dog!

[just to keep this easy..]

:)

[allycat360]

I remember this from my mother playing her Jim Reeves Albums.....and as a kid ya like awwwwwwwwwww nooooo not again....

Now i wish i could listen to them with my mother....lol now i play them and my kids are like ohh noooooo lol ....they will see

[BJwolf14]

this song is so sad, i dread the day my dog has to die, but everyone has to go some day.... you get so attached to them. :(

[naveen48850]

this song makes me cry and i become emotional and feel tat im not in my own being...... soothing to me and there ain't no worry in my mind..... best way to rid yourself of pressure and crazy thoughts.

[solomonjogin1]

I like this song.



[gazrhe]

aww this song is awsome....always makes me cry

[habittwentyone]

this song makes me sad coz i know 1 day my dog will pass on

[kperk014]

@howtobered ...says the blithering idiot.

[kperk014]

Six dislikes? Heartless fools or maybe it just tears them up inside too much.

[MrLawman10]

was this the b side of distant drums

[ianrangerman]

@

MrLawman10 Yes this was the b side of distant drums , must admit I,m 50 and I still get a lunp in my throat ,

very moving song.

[Boccer21]

@MrLawman10 Yes it was my friend

[Boccer21]

@MrLawman10

Yes it was my friend

[jaysiebell]

My mum and dad were divorced when i was 5 my dad used to sing this to me...my first ever dog of my own was a beautiful collie, jay..he was the world to me, all the crap i went through, and that was a lot, he was the one it turned to. Only 3 years since he went and i still miss him like crazy. This song brings back alot of memories and heartache...but still i listen, thankyou jim xx a fantastic song x

[Stemax1960]

@jaysiebell You get UNCONDITIONAL love from a dog. My Max is always pleased to see me when I get home. This track from Gentleman Jim has made many a grown man cry, myself included.

[starlightsaff]

oh this always makes me cry

[hugh750]

@starlightsaff me too

[TheGrocerjack]

No such thing as a bad dog, just a bad owner, this beautiful song says it all, when people let you down time and time again your dog will always be there, Thank You.

[mrshrek0]

I remember this song from when I was a small child, so very sad even more so now because it reminds me of my best little pal Dino who passed away breaking my heart.

I'm 49 this year and have to admit it brings tears to my eyes listening to this beatiful song.

Thank you Jim Reeves ...

[TheUbaka1]

This songs makes me very nostalgic.

As a child, my father loved to play this song, and a lot of songs from his Talking To Your Heart album.

I remember seeing the joy in my father's eyes as he asks my mum for a dance.

Good memories!!

[kelpiemad100]

i brought back lots of memories I have saved it on my favs

loved it

[lilsexy828]

I had him for 15 years :'(

[lilsexy828]

:'( I lost my Dog last month it's so hard without him here im so heartbroken i miss him so much...this song is so sad :'(

[Stemax1960]

@lilsexy828 I've had Max for almost 8 years now. Dogs are NOT pets, they are family! When Max goes, I know I'll need all the support I can get. You are human, there's not really much else I can say.

[lilsexy828]

@Stemax1960 Yes you're right....but it's so hard he was my baby i have no kids so he was my kid...the day i lost him i lost all the love i had im so confused he was there for me through thick and thin he was there for me when everyone else left me :'( and now im so lonely cause i have no one :'( God bless you're Dog ....ill be there if you need me :'(

[soupb29]

What a depressing song. Oh my god!!!

[Stemax1960]

@soupb29 Not depressing as much as TRUE TO LIFE!

[ADonovan43]

God must have a sence of humor to make man dogs best friend! take care ADonovan43

[dagobert2101]

Jetzt kommt einmal ein German-Text!:

Jim Reeves, für mich ein ganz toller Sänger,

wenn auch vielleicht DEUTSCHENHASSER,

aber von seinem Können, seiner einmaligen

Ausstrahlung -nur ELVIS hat, glaube ich, der Menschheit mehr Liebe und Hilfe gebracht-

ist er -Jim Reeves unerreichbar-! Leider ist

er viel zu früh von uns gegangen!

Ich höre fast jeden Tag seine schönen

Songs -von meinen CDs.

[MrBoblee23]

52 years old and i still rember my dad playing j rs songs good on ya jim

[hugh750]

@howtobered i'm sorry but i disagreee, it's not stupid!

it's a real sad song!

[jandavesaunders]

I love this song - it makes me cry every time I hear it - I love the pictures you have put to this - beautiful video, thank you!

[909beatbox]

I have looked forever for this song. This song came out at the time of the veitnam war. When our men came home. There are no words that say ho much I thank you for your time and sharing this !!!!

[MrBoblee23]

@909beatbox i still have lots of 45 records or jim

[gailquigley]

lost my lovely pet dog sadie 8 months ago its one of the hardest things was to have to say goodnite to her she was my best friend and i miss her so dearly R.I.P. sadie love u always <3

[paulineandkevin]

if this is a stupid song why listen to it i can not understand some people they must'nt have a heart

god bless jim A Gentleman

[wolfmans46]

In Afghanistan Liam Tasker was a dog handler searching out IED's, Liam was shot by a sniper. Theo a young spanial died from a broken heart 20 hours later after his master died...think of that how nature can be nurtered and then taken away.

[midnight12131]

ahhhh so sad

[MultiCalculus]

I had a dog who was put to sleep when he had cancer. It was so sad I had to go get another dog which I still have with me. A house is not a home without a dog.

[ploppes11]

so sad

[hugh750]

@ploppes11 i agree!

[ZJSwanepoel]

My son grew up with his-our dog and this song, tommorow  my son will turn 21. He still misses his Tige

[Jamie131970]

This was the first record I ever owned never knowing it was a B side, to me me it was an A. I used to play it over and over when I was small and mum would shout up from down stairs that "dinner was ready" She's gone died last year. I cried when I hear this again after so many years, waiting for mum to shout up for me! Thanks for sharing it with us

[Jamie131970]

This was the first record I ever owned never knowing it was a B side, to me me it was an A. I used to play it over and over when I was small al those years ago! Thanks for sharing it with us

[moggs69]

B side to Distant Drums

[dvb1958]

I love Jim Reeve's music but I've never heard this one. I love it! Thank you so much.

[Shewolfen]

[kgrluv]

Jim Reeves your story songs are the best. RIP with Tige

[stormwatcher59]

I've thought about this song so many times over the years...finally looked here.

[uche1965]

Thanks for posting specially for me...I appreciate it....good job you're doing...

thanks thanks thanks

[Stemax1960]

@uche1965 From one dog lover to another, you,re welcome. Add me as a friend if you like. I'm a 50 year old man. After 27 years as a bus driver, I prefer dogs to people!

[hunter3826]

@Stemax1960 lovely song have lot of jim reeves lp took me while get this song was worth the wait

[reapersouls2]

@Stemax1960 I cuold'nt of said it better myself, animals are much better than people

[Stemax1960]

@reapersouls2 Dunno what gender you are, but you obviously love animals, so you're my kind of person.

[LES6723]

@Stemax1960 Should've been a bartender

[uche1965]

one of Dad's favourites...he loved this song so much that he actually named one of our dogs TIGE....This brings back so many memories....of Tige and my brother who have both gone to SLEEP now.

[Stemax1960]

@uche1965 Here for you.

[jrparkvidio]

I was very sad when my Boxer Dog died,

he was a great friend with me al the time

then he got ill.

[Stemax1960]

@jrparkvidio I don't care what people say, a dog is the best friend you can ever have.

[billy2rivers1]

My old dad walked our billy four miles every day come rain and shine then last week the second of december sadly dad died now at ten am billy cries and looks at the door waiting for his pal that never comes.

[honeycomb211]

I feel so sad for all the people that have replied to this video, that have lost their faithful best canine friends. I share in your grief because I know what you have been through and how much it hurts.... My heart goes out to you all.... Much love from Patricia x

[MrWant2watch]

This video is making it hard to not be a boob. I lost my border collie "Sophie" this summer. Like I used to say "she's not a dog she's a border collie".

[Stemax1960]

@MrWant2watch Sophie was family! Old Tige makes me cry whenever I hear it.

[weesooty]

Lost my best friend Mac and it breaks my heart thinking of him, this is such a moving song and it takes me back to when i was a young one.

[paulywag100]

R.I.P Prince. my best pal.

[usaduda]

[wulfendog]

Ffs ive had dogs all my life,and some good ones at that. Just bin asleep on sofa and big old Tilly was sleeping with me, but when ive stroked her she has one big lump on her belly. wish us luck when i take her to vets folks.

[denniss265]

Damn! I cry.

[joepilot48]

@denniss265 Hey, no shame in that! I am 62, and still miss my papa, and my little Sheltie dog that we had to put to sleep a few years back. You don't shed a tear over something or someone you don't care about. Just means you're human.

[magburner]

Sound of my childhood this one. I still get a lump in my throat thinking about poor old Tige. :)

[jorjx]

I've turned into a complete softie, I've been listening to this song since I was a kid without it bothering me but over the last couple years it gives me a cold shiver. It's not really the lyrics or the tune but the fact that such a great singer died so tragically so young. RIP Jim Reeves.

[denisegregory1954]

I can remember crying the first time i heard this song, thanks for sharing.

[mycrazyfunkyjunkyhat]

I have looked for this song for so long. Thanks Jim!!!

[wolfmans46]

A great song, but for this time look for Bing Crosby and David Bowie and "Drummer Boy" or look for Andy Wiiliams and the Honda advert.

[kieranswann]

briliant looking for this for yrs thankyou

[beachbumdave]

A very moving song by Jim Reeves, our old dog recently had to be put down because of cancer, she gathered all her strength to walk proudly with vet after we said goodbye,

thankyou

[cherjohn66]

@beachbumdave

This man has the voice of an angel. Whatever he sings tugs at the heart strings and tear ducts. Was there a voice with a more perfect pitch? I doubt it.

[hammer29100]

great song by jim reeves video picks by willie taylor just makes it better like to know were i could get the video

[azbullace]

i cried for days when i lost my best freind rip sam

[amyrosebacsa]

[latinoheat74]

[torbothie1]

[torbothie1]

@SPYDOC1 

[newportboy1971]

i agree with you HiWayLady49 had a collie called blue i miss him so much

[HiWayLady49]

I cried the first time I heard this song...when I was just a kid...I'm sixty now, and I still cry. You've got to have had a pal like Tige to understand.

[malcjow]

Bless all the old Tige`s.

[wildfem]

luv this song reminds me of old shep by elvis cry to both lol sad aint i :)

[drhr09]

I owe my life to him tonite.............

[Cathdan1]

Fantastic, my daughter has been trying to find this for years but in South Africa no luck so far, as with all his songs fantastic takes me back many years.

[leesteuk1]

i remember my dad playin this wen i was a kid bought a tear to me eys :/

[flakeater]

Beautiful song. My Border Collie "Zak" is now near 14yrs old. Don't know what how i'll handle it when its time to say goodbye.

[akabigdaddydawg]

That was awesome. It makes you understand how a true friend and companion never actually leaves. They are there in mind and spirit no matter what. Very nice!

[FreeBritain1]

Awe. Bless.

[xxsamzmexx]

I'm only 17 but i love this song.

I grew up with my parents always playing it and then a few years ago i actually understood what it was about and i cried the first time i listened to it properly.

[SuperBikerbob]

The same way all of his records were fantastic

[stang393]

The hardest part about having a pet is knowing that one day you'll have to say goodbye.

[denniss265]

@stang393 Yeh. A piece of your heart dies.

[Stemax1960]

@stang393 Why do we do this to ourselves? My dad died 20 months after his Jack Russell was put down. My German Shepherd/Border Collie cross by the name of Max is 8 and a half years old. I'll be inconsolable when his time comes. To honeycomb211 and all other dog lovers, I say that a dog is NOT a pet, it is FAMILY! Love them whilst you have the opportunity.

[midnight12131]

@stang393 true story i had a cat and she got run over and the worst part was she was pregnant

[lilsexy828]

@stang393 I did and im dying inside i miss my baby boy so much :'(

[HailRubberDuck]

Thank you, just lost my best friend Spot a week ago, this helps. And your it good to see Jim Travis at one of his best.

[Leodis44]

My story is much the same. I haven't heard this song for almost 25 years,

My Collie was called Pally. She was my world when I was growing up. She shared the most difficult of teenage years with me as girlfriends came and went. When my parents bought me a 1 way ticket to South Africa at the age of 18, I said goodbye to Pally,,, She died a few weeks later.... God rest you Pally, n hopefully we'll meet again sometime

[SeeScotland]

Man's Best Friend, Faithful To The End.........

[BATTLEAXE7]

You have no idea how long I have been looking for this song! OMG! My daddy died and I wanted to find this song for him. So many memories are flooding back right now. Thanks for taking the time.

[plutosunshine]

love border collies

[ladymissjuju]

I love this song brings back memories of all the dogs I have had in my life. Each had their very own personality and I still miss them so much! Till we meet again x

[1Jerrie]

This was one of my Dad's favorite songs. He use to sing it to me and I would cry so hard. He would look down at me and wipe my tears away. Just like Tige my Dad died 3 years ago. God I miss him.

Sorry to here about your dog, I hate the pain of losing your animals.

[bradmint]

Full of emotions god i hate listening to this song.

[mdjdecorations]

God bless Henry who died two weeks ago, never realised a man could miss his dog so much, hope your playing in those meadows in the sky,

[MultiCalculus]

This gives me shivers. It is so lovely. Just shows how loyal a dog is.

[patannp1]

I haven't heard this song since I was a little girl..my Dad had all of Jim Reeves albums and as kids we all listened and loved them.

[twirlon]

thank you willie taylor! this song is from my childhood and clear favorite; still brings tears to my eyes

[susiexx1]

i have tryed to fined this song for years i cry every time i hear it i still now it word for word it was my dads favert and im only 28

[denisegregory1954]

i haven,t heard this song since i was a young girl when my parents bought it and i cried my eyes out for days its so sad .thanks for posting .bring back a lot of memories all good ones.

[TheRichtrek]

A follow up... iTunes does not have Old Tige in its Jim Reeves catalog. Does anyone know where I can download it?

[outlawlover1]

Limewire!!

[TheRichtrek]

I did not know Jim Reeves did this song. My mom had an album of story songs that Wink Martindale did in the '60s. Old Tige was on the album. I looked for 25 years to find that album. Then, I found Wink's website in Oct. 01. He said he didn't have the song. Then, on my birthday arrived a custom CD from Wink. He dedicated it to my mom. Having those old songs, and Tige, made it a wonderful Bday. Finally, in 02 I rescued a sheppard, named him "Tige." Now I can download Jim Reeves version.

[draaier327]

what kind of shepperd is this

[Matuku35]

Dog pictured is a Border Collie. They certainly exhibit the behaviour featured in the song. I have one. Lovely song.. never heard it before.

[grayx19]

you dont know how long i been looking for this record before i finaly got it at a car boot sale

[rhinoswellies]

Haven't heard this for over 25 years. Thanks!

[SouthernBelleSmiles]

Mans best friend and woman's too.

[newinncashel]

nah... diamonds are a girls best friend x

[SouthernBelleSmiles]

oh new haha! Not for me though. Diamonds cant wag their tail and love you unconditionally!

[micajo21]

Grew up listening to Jim. Thanks Mom.

[bigwilf123]

my little timmys sat on the bed looking at me what a dog i love him

[cazzy1968]

today we said a sad goodbye to our very loved BLUE we will miss you for ever xxxxxx

[Kmahabir]

Fluffy was my best friend. I missed him so dearly.

[oldnook]

superb . thanks.

[stevie2267]

excellent,, thank you xx

[red4coins]

If only your friends were as loyal as this...

[Apollogranforte]

Wonderful song. Makes me think of Delilah, my wonderful long haired German Shepherd. She almost ten years old now and they are not very long living animals....

[cricketbat08]

This could darn bring a tear to an ole miner's glass eye, that's fer sure. Yee-haw!

[Fionahoran]

Hilarious!

(Oh, I am a heartless Brit)

Looked this up because of the same radio programme as the others. Priceless!

[reilly1926]

Jim Reeves - voice like velvet. This song brings floods of memories back to me.

[red4coins]

They just don't make music like this anymore...so sad.....your friends should be that true to you.......

[gb95v14197]

jim goodbless brilliaint im 36 your one of my best singers and my dads brill.

[alhenrymc]

wullie your murder.lol av no heard is song in about 20 years noo am sitting greetin ...superb mate

[aitchgee3]

I listened to the same radio programme as ShiningPie-I'd never heard this song before. "How old Tige pulled me from the creek when I had no pulse or breath,

and how he saved me from the chargin' bull that gored my Dad to death." To borrow from Oscar Wilde, it would be a hard man who could hear those lines without laughing out loud. I certainly haven't managed it yet.

[ShiningPie]

I have to say I rather like Neil Innes' story of how the Bonzo Dog Band, whilst on tour, would go into cafes, buy 10 plays on the jukebox, and then put this record on repeat........ Oh, to have been in that cafe........
