I've loved this song since I was a kid. Sunday afternoon, my girlfriend passed away in her sleep next to me as I napped. It hits harder and in a different place. Still an awesome song
GOD could not have matched a set of brothers any better than this and give them the voices to match ooooooh what a sound not to take away from the other artist who recorded it but JIM and JESSE RULE thanks for sharing
They did this song for us in Darrington, Washington - up at the schoolhouse. What a concert! Few bands are as good as their recordings, but Jim & Jesse may have been even better onstage as in a studio.
the wilburns also released an album 1/1/61 called wilburn bros sings which included this song.i know they also had a single out. which was a hit for them. i don't know the exact date. i don't know which one recorded it first. it was written by hazel marie houser. the wilburns and the louvins had at least one other hit knoxville girl on the charts at the same time.there are probably others i would have to research to find out.
A great song by a great Duo! THIS is Bluegrass! I first heard it done by the Bear Creek Boys of Santa Cruz, Cal., and went out and bought the recording by Red Allen & the Kentuckians. So good!
Very true about Joe. He was an excellent fiddle player. Joe recorded an album with the Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys. I was there when they recorded it. Heck of a snow storm! Someone came in from outside and said, "Who's car is that out there? It's parked on the train tracks and the train will be coming through here in about five minutes." It had snowed so hard you couldn't see the tracks. We about didn't make it there for the recording. Slippin' and a slidin'.
Somebody actually hit the dislike icon for this video. Must have been a rather serious accident.

I've always loved this song, reading it as a post-breakup song. Sunday, my gf passed away in her sleep as I slept next to her.
It hits harder and in a different place now.

You might try County Sales. They have a lot of recordings. Either that or some place like Ebay or Amazon.

Isn't that Joe Meadows on the fiddle? He was a good friend from West Virginia. Recorded and played some with the Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys.
