  • dam i love this song

  • This was the first song i heard on the radio the day my momma died. :(

  • Awesome !!!

  • Just listening to the lyrics, its interesting and sad at the same time to see how history is repeating itself.

    Sadly not only is the south affected, but the entire country.

    Great song by the way!!!

  • yeah obama is a dick he is only trying to give us all health care so we can be taken care of if we get hurt. now everyone shut up if you have nothing good to say. Ur not up there

  • If you want to see Obamas health plan, volenteer to take a uncle brother or grandfather through the VA system from start to finish, and you will have a perfect example of Obamas health care system. Being a Veteran myself I will not EVER go to the VA for anyhting again.

  • cm5054

    Only trying to give us healthcare ? Are you kidding me he wants the government to control everything. Nothing is free my friend someone always has to pay for it.

  • As Americans its time to stand up against Obama,Pelosi and their socialist Democrats who are running this country into the ground.

  • I agree with you 110%. And this so called health care b.s. is nothing but a ploy for the Obama communist scum to gain even more power over Americans. This country is falling apart thanks to the communist mongoloids who have infested the federal govt.

  • Thanks....But unfortunately you have some people...even on this board that are being mislead by Pelosi,Reid and Obama.

  • @MrFaqazz0 Politics is for losers? I beg the differ just because you're an idiot and don't care what kind of a world your children grow up in does not give you the right to call us "loser." In fact with all do respect it makes YOU the loser.

  • 1 ½ cup Sweet Potatoes, mashed

    1 tsp. Nutmeg, can use apple pie spice

    ½ cup sugar

    2 Eggs, beaten

    1 small Pet Milk

    2 Tbsp. butter

    Mix. Pour in unbaked pie shell. Bake at 350° until done. (when a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean)

    It's pretty basic but REALLY good.

  • Thanks, fer the recipe...

  • Comment removed

  • yer welcome!

  • thank you ! ive alway's wondered how to make sweet potatoe pie!!! peace to ya!!!

  • waht is it

  • song of the south sweet patato pie and shut my mouth

  • A washing machine and then a Chevrolet. Not Toyota

  • that's a real farmer at 0.20 :D

  • what was that old movie about the Oklahoma dust bowl with Henry Fonda?

  • That would be "The Grapes of Wrath"

  • Hey, yeah that's it. Henry was such a good actor. He reminded me of a history teacher and scout leader I had as a boy. He made a big impression on me to be responsible as much as possible in life. He died relatively young (was hit on the highway while helping another stranded motorist). Some time ago, people seemed to look out for one another.

    That movie "Places in the Heart" with Sally Field, John Malkovich, Danny Glover etc. was good also going with the theme of this song's lyrics.

  • okay people this is a song, stop talking about politics and enjoy the music...

  • sorry, i just can't help it, when someone says something about politics i have to say some thing else it's kinda my thing but any i love this kind of muisc because talking about politics ruins the mood. lol

    like i love to do lol

  • yeeehaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • love them<33

  • so beutiful song

  • This was the first song I heard on the radio, the very day my mother passed away. RIP mom. I miss you everyday

  • If we let Hillbillies run our country we will have blacks as slaves again and who knows maybe other ethnic groups. LOL I'm joking, but anything can happen. ;) Imagine.

  • how about no you crazy fuck

  • No to what?

  • What would be so wrong with that?? lol

  • One word bush

  • two words devinmilk your face lol

    sorry i been in a pissy mood today.

    sorry :(

  • Haha me to I think everybody on you tube is in a pissy mood no worries

  • Wrong with slaves? Your joking right? Cause if you aren't I'm going to need you address.

  • im a so called hillbilly most of our relatives were irish and scotish then moved out here to ky. and va. to get away from the city slickers who looked down on them they were to poor to own slaves jackass.

  • Nothing uglier in this world than a white liberal. Let the new civil war start.

  • what about that black one you fucking morons elected as president?

  • Lol ok.

  • fuck off. callin white ppl liberal when every other fuckin race out there wants us gone. black panther and all that shit. i swear so manny black ppl sit on the ass and let the tax payers pay for them to live. im not saying all black ppl do but alot of them do. i got alot of good freidns who r black so i know the difference.

  • same! it pisses me off 2 n im good friends with lots of blks 2

  • or a narrow minded neo con communist who dose not allow any diffrent ideas than his own LET FREEDOM RING

  • shut the fuck up risefm

  • Alabama was an exceptional band. They were perfectionist that would not release a song unless they felt it was as good as it could be and that alone gave them 47 number one hits! They had 27 in a row in the 80's alone! Why they seem so easily forgotten by radio is beyond me but I truly believe that future generations will look back on this band and appreciate how special these guys were. They had perhaps one bad album called Tar Top. But all in all they put out great music. Best country rock!

  • this song and this video remind me of the stories my great grandma use to tell me when i was a kid.

  • That's nice, it reminds me of my Grandpa. He worked in a CCC camp and later became a coal miner. He had some stories and I loved them all...wish he was still here...

  • Native American's had it worse than anybody, So I don't want to hear that shit. Just enjoy the song or GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!

  • lol

    i was going to say that the native americans had it a lot worse but i reached the comment limit lol

    blame the fucken yankee lol

  • To habs4life9: DO NOT go bashing on bill o'reilly. He is one of the few people who tell it the way it is. He says what he thinks. You should also listin to hannity news talk radio show. Maybe you will get an edcution and wake up and see how fucked up our country has become. I dont care what party you support the whole system is fucked up.

  • Song,song of the south, Sweet potato pie and i shut my mouth, Gone gone with the wind, Ain't nobody looking back again!.! (Maybe mishered lyrics)

  • Trouble today is both parties are Old Headed and Worthless! Rich men in both playing both sides of the fiddle... or ponzi scheme- DUMP them All ! Become an independent! Vote out Incumbents! Until we get what we need!

    Bring our country back home.

  • thanks for the post you get five stars, i grew up listening to this, it was when country music ment something

  • fox news is a partisan network and bill o'reilly is a bigoted and genuinely evil person, as genuinely evil as hitler.

  • How the hell is Bill O'Reilly evil like Hitler? He doesnt go around massarcing people he just speaks for what he believes in and thats what you have been doing as well on here so if hes evil your sure as hell evil with him for expressing what you believe in.

  • real men come from the south. My granddaddy lived through this and it made him a man.

  • great song accept fo the democrat part. atleast daddy got a CHEVROLET

  • It wouldn't have sounded right if they said southern republican. Plus the Democratic party used to be what the republican party is today. Vice Versa just the opposite in todays world. The Way i feel about it Rwpublicans and Democratics are both JACKASS LIARS And Should Die. But besides that This Is a GREAT SONG!!

  • That's very true. You know, the democrat party used to represent the south because the republican party was begun by Lincoln and the northern industrial interests, so the democrats were the ex-confederacy for generations, until the positions changed around in the mid 20th century.

    The reality is that both parties want a bigger, more powerful government. Both parties are the enemy of the people, and we need to return the power to the states to enforce the constitution!

  • I don't believe that at all; Thankyou..J.G.

  • god bless america and this song

  • one of the best songs EVER!!!

  • God bless those that feed us...

  • Here Here!

  • country legend

  • dimwit whitless,those w/benefits get a tax deduction that lower income people dont get bcause they cant make much cause the pubs let in the illegals&shipped jobs overseas to benefits sl ime like waltons,

  • you sir are a pinhead...

  • Just like the original Americans,we need to fix Our [&their Nations]to modify our climates.Massive solar installations will provide all the CLEAN electricity the nation needs,cool the earth in its shadow&pump sea water UPHILL to be purified in Greenhouses,To recharge aquifers,to provide water for crops.etc.

  • i hate people like you

  • I love me some Alabama! Great musicians!

  • ALABAMA =)

  • ALABAMA is the greatest country music band ever..ALABAMA is a legend and their music will be heard and played for generations.I grew up listening to alabama and ive never stopped listening or growing up..ALABAMA A TRUE AMERICAN COUNTRY BAND THE GREATEST EVER THANKS...ROBERT THOMBS DANVILLE VA

  • this song is awesome!!!!

  • Surely one of the greatest country songs ever recorded. A big ol' "Bravo!" and a yeeeee haaaaaaw!

  • awesome song!

  • just into the song - an Alabama classic - not going to get into the political crap thats dominating the discussion. I'm all for people's right to express an opinion - I object when other's insult those opinions by slandering the individual(s). habs4life9 - grow up!

  • man on man love is what the south needs, god is dead and nascar is going nowhere so start up some man on man action people, praise jebus.

  • You know we lost a war. We were taken advantage of and stolen from. 50 years later we were in a depression and a dust bowl, Hence our song. We southerners understand doing without, My family taught me well as most southerners do.That is one of the things that is special about us. When trouble comes and of course its coming again, We will be fine.

    Don't believe me?

    Travel to other countries and up north or out west. You will see clearly how we are different, Its our culture and a damn fine one!

  • hmmm... nothing like hearing great songs about the south..

    Arkansas <3

  • great song! Clete Thomas of the Detroit Tigers uses it as his intro.

  • shut your mouth counrtykid902 dixe will live for ever

  • i was suporting the south

  • You're all stupid. Not one of you raises a truely valid point on either side of the arguement. It's like reading the minutes from a junior high debate

  • There is NO HOPE... yeah..with OBAMA in the white house. we white southerners are screwed.

  • Comment removed

  • This song is about people all feeling a part of something in a time of hardship. Coming together under a kindred ideal and communal sprirt. We're in the worst Depression since the 1930's. Let's rekindle the spirit, look at each other as brother and sisters once again, and remember that it's our own spirit and labor that brings us out of crises as Americans!

    No other country is going to rush to our rescue. We're going to have to take care of this one ourselves.

  • the u.s. will soon fall just hope the south hasent lost their spirit, but when the u.s. falls a new country will rise from within. old dixie will

  • Keep dreamin kid

  • you people are really stupid,, this song is about Southern Pride..not racism or slavery !!

  • love this song i can remember singing to when i was 5

  • i was just reading some comments and god, slavery is an old subject, its been over for a long time. those that linger lag. and for all those discriminating against the south, its heritage not hate. love where u came from. we are from the south. i dont tell you to hate ur background so dont hate ours

  • i got news for u the north and east was hear before the south and they started

    slavery and yes we had slaves but black people think thats all we owned but we owned whites blacks and all races see i from the south so if u dont know ur facts then keep ur mouth shut yall talk about the south be raciest

  • hey habs get ur facts right slavery started in africa they traded there slaves to us for beeds and another thing there were actually more slave owners in the north just not as many slaves per household

  • Hey sorry for the nasty comments but it habs4life is an anti-american retard. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!

  • I've just deleted a couple of comments because of the language used in them.

    Please remember to keep a sober language in your comments - or it will be deleted !!!

    I dislike people talking nasty to eachother. If you have any comment to a user that isn't sober - please contact the user directly.

  • yeah for southern democrats

  • freud was a fraud

  • don't be racist...

    Freud explains....

  • all i gotta say is uhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that dudes queer alright

  • You know most of us do not like all of our history. ALABAMA reached the part of the south thats the greatest for all of us.

    Nobody has done or will surpass this bands achievements. They are the pinnacle of southern attitude and behavior.

    I'm sick of the South being villified also.

    Enough is enough!

    I am Praying that all the P.C. and B.S. gets so bad that good southern folks finnally collectively say, Just shut the !@#$ up!!

    God bless the South, May we all live well.

  • I agree with you. And I'm from the North, lol. Rock on!

  • and I'm from Canada!

    ROCK ON!

    (And if you say this song is racist your brain is messed up.)

  • Thank you fella!!

  • same here bud same here

  • Wrong. You'll find racism in both parties, from both whites and blacks.

  • bill maher is a moron...seems to me its always liberal democrats that bring it up.(racism)always pointing fingers and yelling racism...fuck the left and fuck the right too.

  • i agree with everything you just said and i live in alabama cept im from chicago

  • im a alabamian living in a house full of succesful doctors and we're hick oh? we are NOT racists. where are you from...ohio. damn yankees. ;)

  • i'm from canada, and i think americans are pretty stupid but they're ESPECIALLY stupid in the south. alabama is the definition of a hick state, so is mississippi, south carolina, georgia (outside atlanta area), basically all the states that want slavery back.

  • I'll bet habs4life9 has never been anywhere in the South. I am always mystified as to why people like this go to sites they profess to hate. I live in one of the aforementioned states, and I can assure you, we don't want slavery back.  You know nothing about the South, so just keep your idiotic comments to yourself.

  • habs...why are Americans stupid? Can't wait to hear this from a guy from Canada.

  • because you yell to drown ppl out every time they try to say how much better the health care system will be with the new bill. you yell DEATH PANELS, OBAMA'S A SOCIALIST, DON'T FIX WHAT AIN'T BROKE, I WANT MY AMERICA BACK, DEATH PANELS, OBAMA, DEATH PANELS, BUREACRATS, DEATH PANELS. are thse not the actions of complete and utter idiots who don't understand shit?

  • So if someone doesn't believe in the type of health care Canada has they are idiots? I know several people in Canada who absolutely HATE your health care. Two of them needed back operations and it took more than a year for them to get any help. I got the same operation in less than two months. Guess what, your opinion isn't necessarily correct. By the way, not all people yell to drown others out, but keep getting your news from liberal television stations and stay uninformed.

  • fox news specifically stated "any yelling or comments of dissent and we'll bring it right to you" so it's also in conservative television stations, you stupid prick.

  • Wow, Canada must be proud to be represented by a half-wit like you. You call someone a "stupid prick" because their opinion differs from you. Are you 12 years-old or something?

  • if you're against health care being paid for through taxes how come you're not against law enforcement being paid for through taxes? if you say "only ppl who are sick should have to pay for their own health care" why don't you say "only ppl who get arrested should contribute to the police officers' salaries?" your citizens pay taxes for many MANY essential services without complaint, obama just wants to extend it to health care, which is prefectly reasonable.

  • My problem is that EVERYTHING the federal gov't gets involved with is a mess or becomes corrupt. Obama has done nothing but give away money. He has given money to people to buy houses, he has given money to people to buy new cars, etc. Where will it stop? There is already free medical care for the poor, they just don't have to pay. My brother is a surgeon in Arizona and does free surgeries EVERY week. By the way, police salaries are paid by towns and states, not the federal gov't.

  • "My problem is that EVERYTHING the federal gov't gets involved with is a mess or becomes corrupt."

    the funny part of this statement is that it is much more characteristic of the bush administration, backed by 8 years' worth of evidence. obama hasn't even been in office one lousy year and you're already saying that about his administration?

  • I didn't say Obama's administration is a mess. I said he is throwing money around like it is water. The federal gov't screws things up regardless of the party in charge.

  • my grampa thinks he's a muzzlum, i think he's not but look at his mid name. anyway i hope this mess turns around for the better because obama is not really helping us. He's more of bring us down sota, but i we can pull outta this because we rock! we are amicans! yayz

  • shut up ur an idiot

  • make me!!!!!! ass

  • So because Mr. Obama hasn't yet served a year we can't judge his administration? The man is an absolute failure, who's completely forgotten what it is to be an American. Then again, maybe he hasn't forgotten since he has repeatedly said he'd like to "fundamentally change" America. The America-hating scumbag politician should've never been elected.

  • You're right, but it's a damned shame that the Republican party put up a LOSER! It's a damned shame that Ron Paul couldn't've been the Republican nominee 'cause we would've seen REAL issues being discussed!

  • Your comparison of law enforcement to healthcare is a non-starter. That dog simply don't hunt. Law enforcement is an essential function of government provided for in our Constitution; healthcare is not. In fact, as it is not a power specifically delegated to the federal government, it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for the federal government to get into the insurance industry.

    Furthermore, America is, has been, and always shall be a capitalist nation. Those who want Socialism are free to leave.

  • While this is true, what me MUST do to understand the high cost of health care is WHY! Only when we deal with the bureaucracies that dominate our health care system can we understand how the health care situation got to the point that it did! BTW, the federal government is already involved in healthcare much greater than we realize and to go to them for the solution is like the fox guarding the hen house!

  • Comment removed

  • Well said "habs4life9"!

  • its only reasonable until you pay so much in taxes you cant survive. if this health care plan passes 75 to 80 percent of the money you make will be taxed. everyone hears the good but not the bad.

  • that's funny, in canada we don't have 80% of our income taken away in taxes for health care. stop believing fox news propaganda.

  • How is your healthcare payed then?

  • the same way law enforcement and paved roads are paid for. tell me, if you americans don't have a problem wit law enforcement and paved roads being paid for through your taxes, why do you have such a big problem with the same being applied to health care?

  • Because in America, you have choice. If you don't like company A, then you go to company B. But If company A+B are gone (ran out by government), and you only have company C, then if it essential, the C can charge as much and you still will have to pay. In America, we have a constitution and that says limited government. Americans belive on only thing such used for the common good should be taxed. Law enforcement are already part of the tax system.
