  • i like to listen 2 this from time to time

  • love this song. thanks for posting. a fellow canadian. rick.

  • I'm practicing this song for the pickin and grinnin tomorrow

  • This was my theme song back in 1961-1962. Played it every night on my 2 hour music session. Still love it, and the flip side "Changing of the Tide."

  • Been looking for this song in karaoke version...I don't think it exists.

  • One of the best that Hank ever recorded. I just about wore this record out back in the 60's. Sure appreciate hearing it again today.

  • wow this is a wonderful ole song.I havent heard this in a long time.thanks for posting ***** JIM

  • Added to my classics playlist

  • I'm huge on Hank Snow so diceclayman I'll cede on this to you.

  • This is the quintessential country song: she cheats, she dies...haha...but this is seriously a great song. I love hank Snow.

  • Hank Snow has a very unique and special voice.........great musician and singer.

  • nice stuff from robotruss liverpool u k

  • As good as Charlie Pride's rendition of this song.

  • @edgardesouza27 charlie pride has his own songs,, This one is Hank Snows!

  • Hey Hank is still the greatest even in 2011

  • There'll never be another Hank Snow. What a joy to hear him sing.

  • what a song ! :)

  • ★★★★★ Yes 5 stars for this "Golden Oldie" from the 'baby boomer' generation when this was listened to on the old analog radio. Glad to see this GR8 tune making the rounds now in the digital revolution. Rest In Peace Hank~!

  • Hank Snow is one of the very best country singers

  • I think this song is one of the best of Hank Snow.

  • I first heard this in 1961 or so I liked it them and 50 years later it is still one of my favorites.

  • This is classic country

  • Comment removed

  • I grew up with Hank's music - 40 years later I still love it!

  • thanks for posting, from a fellow canadian

  • maryla rodowicz is great than hank snow

    

  • Nova Scotians are always making the sheriff's charts anywats.

  • Whoever wrote it probably couldn't find waycross, ga with a map.The swamp is the okefenokee, several hundred miles from the everglades. Highest point is 131 feet above sealevel.  I guess tiger mountain could have been swallowed by the swamp? Good song anyway.

  • @dilligas06

    haha

  • @dilligas06 It's called "poetic license".  LOL

  • @dilligas06 Yep, I was born in Waycross. And it is a great song, but along with "Sweet Home, Chicago," probably the most insane geography ever stuck in a song (Robert Johnson has Chicago in California). South Georgia is one big flat expanse except for some small hills between Valdosta and Cairo. And he got the fauna wrong as well. A South GA 'mountain lion' (when they still existed) was a 'panther'.

  • Does anyone know if this was based on a

    real story? also you guys would like the

    Charlie Pride version too.

  • Never heard Charley Pride sing it.

    Bobby Bare had something of a hit with it.

  • @highnrising

    gram parsons done a brilliant version of this song when he was in the international submarine band.

  • @loisisobel

    Can't say I've heard GP do it either, but amazingly, he actually did come from Waycross, GA--according to his bio on Wikipedia. Hank was raised more than 1000 miles from there.

  • @oldermusiclover what about,rockin rollin ocean and ,lets pretend,or even stolen moments

  • Not heard this for years - Brilliant! thanks for posting.

  • There's a great version of this song by Doug Sahm as well.

  • Is it anywhere on youtube? That Doug recorded it sounds rather unusual in view of the typical style of his music.

    I am thankful for having had the opportunity to have seen both Hank and Doug live on stage.

  • I have been looking for the song that is on the flip side of miller's cave can't find it any where ..the title is the changing of the tide

    if anyone knows where I can find it please post

  • Jerry Reed's version is the best.... his funky swamp sound suits this song a LOT better than this crooning countrypolitan style.

  • Hank Snow was born in Canada (Nova Scotia)

  • what happened to blue velvet band

  • One of the best of the best to my way of thinking ..

  • This is a great song by a great singer RIP..

  • I first heard this song in the early 1960s - the Bobby Bare version - but I never knew until 1986 that anybody else had recorded it. I heard the Hank Snow version on a country music radio station in (of all places) San Francisco!

  • i live in waycross,,,wahooo

  • saw hank at the liverpool empire years ago, brilliant favourite was , nobodys child... thank you hank for all the pleasure you have given to so many.

  • Hank Snow fan,but have to say Charlie pride sings this well

  • there is no such thing as millers cave in waycross ga. ..bobby bare wrote the song wanting to include the south in the "cave" song that he had wrote...but is a wonderfull song

  • Miller's Cave was written by Jack Clement not Bobby Bare.

  • Hank snow--No one sings this one like hank, his was first and best, Cheers!

  • I have heard several versions of this song, dicky lee's version is my favorite, but Bobby Bare I think had the biggest hit with it. All of the versions are good though.

  • The pride of Nova Scotia from your neigbour in PEI

  • What about Gram's version? And he spent part of his childhood in Waycross, GA too.

  • hank`s verson is the best. Svein from Norway

  • I am a huge Bobby Bare fan, but have to say no one does this song anywhere near as well as Hank Snow.

  • It seems Hank & Bobby both had hits with this song in 1964 - not sure & don't care. But to ME, I prefer Bobby Bare's version.

    To each their own.

  • Hank's version of this song is the original and the best.

    Of course, neither Hank nor Bare sound anything like they come from Waycross, Ga.

  • I have only heard Bobby Bare`s version, before.

    This is very good!

    Which year?

  • The story in this song will always be intriging - Hank's version is great, but IMHO, Bobby Bare's version remains the best.

  • A Proud Canadian,Thanks Hank....

  • very beautiful voice and very beautiful song thanck you and happy new years -

  • A German says 'danke schön'!

  • Hank is among the greatest singers of all time .

  • brisansam i totaly agree.

  • I ment to say hanks was best in my view to my ears..

  • Still remembered all the words,Hank's was the best version,thanks for posting.

  • Splendid Thanks for posting.5***** Happy holidays. G.G.
