[nosibor]

[NAUDOPRD]

Very Good!!! My friend.

Naudo Rodrigues.

[nosibor]

Thanks! I tell everyone that you need to visit NAUDOPRD's site. He is a fabulous guitarist! SR

[mbp1129]

This is good stuff. I know what it's like trying to find something to hold on to to remember a lost loved one. It gives the song a lot more meaning.

[nosibor]

Thanks! I appreciate the comment. I know you're a young man, but remember this: memories will be very valuable when you grow older. Enjoy the good times and when you have children, pass on good things to them, i.e. a song. :) SR

[Ottawarocket]

Another listen...Awesome bro

Rocket

[nosibor]

Thanks, Rocket! I like the song. I know you liked my song, SOMETIMES. Isn't it so true how important songs are to us? As the song goes, A SIMPLE MELODY MAKES 'EM HAPPY FOR A LITTLE WHILE. When mom was dying she wanted me to sing A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE. I did so as she drew her last breath. Amazing! This thing called music! SR

[insobox]

Hello sir, I just sent you a message on some of my findings, hope they help you in your search.

[insobox]

"Devil and the Farmers Wife" is the one that is most closely related to this song. This is just a different variation. As stated in the message I'm still looking for any signs of this version. "VERSE 4 Then, take 'er, o take 'er with all my heart Hi-o-hey An' hope from you she never will part Come, falter-a-diddle-la-day VERSE 5 One little Devil cried, lift me up higher Hi-o-hey She up, with her foot an' kicked 'im in th fire Come, falter-a-diddle-la-day"

OMG! After all these years, I finally find out where it originated. You really made my day! Even though I know how the song originally went... don't worry mom, I'll keep it just the way you taught it to me, mistakes and all! God Bless, Stephen Robison, Sr.

[nosibor]

Thanks!

[shadowray]

I'll find out. ;)

I'll let you know what song it is, but it sounds really old.

[nosibor]

thanks!

[Ottawarocket]

I never heard this song before Steve, but man it's very good

Rob

[nosibor]

Thanks, Rocket!

[nosibor]

Man, Rocket, I accidently clicked the thumb down on your repley and it doesn't seem to want me toi corect it. SR

[Ottawarocket]

lol don't worry about it Steve...I just hope I can still reply to your comments...Too many bells and whistles on YouTube pages these days : )

[nosibor]

I received your reply! And ya got that right about too many bells and whistles! :) lol SR

[nosibor]

Thanks, man! So do you and your wife.

[guitmartiman]

Sounds like 1800s vintage. You may never know who wrote it, but it's worth keeping alive!

[nosibor]

Amen! That's why I'm putting it here :)

[alluvionato]

five stars from me too!!!!  :-)

[nosibor]

Thanks so much! I love the original chord arrangements you come up with!

[nosibor]

Steve Jr. and I listened to this song very carfully last night. God as my witness, I was alone when singing this song, and no wom,an's voice was dubbed in, but in listening to this song over and over again, it sounds as though a woman is singing harmony very softly. I would like to think it is mom singing with me :) God Bless You All! SR

[patman2112]

Dropping five stars here!

[nosibor]

Thanks Patman! Have you ever heard this song? Trying to find out who wrote it. Maybe everyone who hears this song can do a search. I have been trying for 40 years! SR

[patman2112]

You always do a great performance!

[nosibor]

I appreciate that! Maybe someone will know. I've asked musicians and none know where this song originated. I'm begining to think mom may have written it.

[JonPatric]

Steve Sr....That was sure perty, Bravo bro. I love the sound of that guitar. GBU!

[nosibor]

Thank you my dear friend! I am so glad you enjoyed the song. I bet it's an old mountain song. SR

[awanahtunowhiho]

Wish I knew where it came from, good song though.

Your voice is perfect for it

[EdMuirton]

Can't say I know it, but it's a nice song!

[nosibor]

Thanks, you know some of them old mountain songs have been handed down from generation to generation, but never copyrighted. It would be nice to give thanks where thanks due, though. SR

[FanvanMel]

never heard the song, but its a nice one, and I love the idea that your mom taught it. *****

[nosibor]

Yea, mom was 87 when she died. She was from Arkansas. She taught me a few more songs; old ones! I might do some of them. You know something... tim,e with the family is important. The older I get, the more I realize this. SR

[montomaniac]

good job my brother! I'm sure it's somewhere on the web! 5 stars.

[nosibor]

Thanks, my Christian bro! Kind of a cute little song. Mom taught it to me and I placed it on the Web so the song is never lost. That's why Steve and I place our songs on YouTube. We want to share our songs forever! SR

[REDNECKPEPI64]
