welcome back in 2 my heart country music :') i used 2 love country when i was 14 or 15 years old then the love 4 it got away till a few days ago and i'm 21 now so country music got back home :') but not johnny cash cus i hate him he's 1 of my moste hated artist 2 getter with elvis john lennon en freddy mercury
my young cousin walked around singing this and then hung himself...pay attention to children...sometimes they're trying to send you a message. i wasn't old enough to remember him but know a child who's hope is almost gone...so sad
Merle my hero has mesmerized me since I was an 8 yr old girl. Reminds me of my Dad! Love the soul touching, heart wrenching music. Love the man. Thank you Merle for being in my life!
Baez had the '69 version. That was on her "David's Album" lp, all songs she dedicated to her war-resisting hubby, who was sent to prison for his peacenik mouth. She tells that on her Smother's Brothers appearance in 1969, before they were cancelled for their peacenik mouths.
@FungusMossGnosis too bad, "they" didn't cancel that outrageous and criminal war... what the fuck were we fighting for... we lost, and life goes on except for those hundreds of thousands that were slaughtered, scared and maimed in yet another monumental expression of human stupidity... bless Joan (who sings it much better, btw,) and her 'peacenik' hubby!

I guess maybe it was Merle the, I was only nine years old at the time, so I cannot be positive.

I remember when this song was a hit in 69. I don't know who recrded that rendition, probably Porter Wagoner.

Porter was '65.

@kirk379 Quite right. Not too sentimental, not too dramatic, done just the right way.
