[bondern007]

[toneythetigerrr]

too precious, I love this.

[rmdmplce8]

wow, mum and dad used to listen to this kinda music, makes me sad, but a bit happy too, as makes me think of them

[JubalCalif]

Heavens to John Henry! An odd combo: a wonderfully entertaining pop song by the late great Burl Ives & awesome footage of the congested but beautifully intriguing city of Bangkok. But it's quite ENJOYABLE, I must say! THANKS for posting this! :)

[GEOWOO230]

I sang this for seven years as an entertainer...days gone by. Thank you.

[ADonovan43]

The saltest tear ever and yet my pride still mocks me.Take care ADonovan43

[MrDondon38306]

[billboy508]

[mrdee11091]

a tear always makes the angels cry ,,, thanks

[camrod94]

A real smooth singer. I miss him, he could sing to anyone.

[cci110]

another song i like is pearly shells we song it tv once,for a charity some 20 years ago

[rockgor]

Always like to hear Burl Ives.

Is there some connection between the song

and the video?

[retireglenat75]

@rockgor Yes

[moyadapne]

Isn't that odd....after all these years, it sounds like 'a little bitter tear' let me down. These old ears.

[Urbino237]

What a wonderful musician, highlighting that singing can sound superb without ANY fireworks, flashing lights, 200 stage-hands, etc. etc. Just Burl and his guitar could fill a hall.

Master musician (and actor), his voice of the same luxurious timbre as that of Nat King Cole's.

[namtesyalp]

great song

[Grifiki]

This was his biggest hit! What a guy..

[daberdo57]

Amen Grizzabellar!

[ejp42]

reminds me of the scene w/ Dennis Hooper and Christopher Walken in True Romance in my opinion one the best scenes ever,

[michigan6100]

@ejp42

This song was played when Hopper was walking out and locking the gate at his security job. But yeah, this is a great song.

[Viimane]

This is my favourite version of the song, but this is not Burl Ives. Or is it?

[grizzabellar]

Unmistakeable voice of Burl Ives.

[Viimane]

Yeah, sure, it was my mistake.

[shawnintennessee]

It is Burl Ives....

[SarahSurvive34]

My Granddaddy sang this to me when I was little :D

This, and You are my sunshine.

<33

[scampbunny67]

My Granda used to sing this to me when I was little, God bless his soul. Thank for posting this lovely song x

[livefor2morrow]

[2020ric]

livefor2morrow..Bless you..I miss my moms ..mom also....this also is an exact description of her..................

[twohatsful]

true romance great movie

[gdrager1]

My grandmother is on her deathbed and we're all in the room waiting with her as she is about to go. My grandfather wanted to sing to her this song so I pulled it up and was able to play it for him. After 59 years of marriage it breaks my heart to see the love between them. Thank you for this video.

[Gene041]

I am very sorry

[silentium55]

A little bitty tear came in my eye when I watched the video, I hope things worked out. Great song.

[simmo303]

helpame: It's by By Bill Anderson.

[60Cascade]

Bill Anderson wrote the song but Burl Ives did record it in 1962 and it appeared on his "It's Just My Funny Way Of Laughin'" album from that year. The title of the song is "Ninety-Nine". The only CD version of the song that I know of can be found on the Bear Family boxed set "Burl Ives - A Little Bitty Tear - The Nashville Years - 1961 - 1965"

[LocalGuy56]
