This is probably the most emotially song i've heard from him ( sorry abt my bad english )but whatever, my first country album had this song, and i'm talking back in early 70:ies, and then I played this one ( on vinyl of course ) to a girl and now after 30 years we met again. Still have the vinyl by the way. Waylon IS country.
@JoshuaPanda; it's not uncommon for a guy like Waylon to write a song whose inspiration was Bob Dylan's "Ramona". It doesn't matter. He demonstrated at that time that he was into Dylan"s music like millions of others.
My Dad was a huge Waylon Jennings fan, and he also named me after this song. He had the album for years but when I was about 9 years old we moved and it got broken in the move. He was lucky several years later to find a cassette tape with it on it and gave it to me before he died in 2006 at the young age of 65. I still have it and I also now have it on CD, but I never thought to look to see if I could find old tv footage of him singing it until tonight when it popped up in a search. I cried.
KsAmethyst- I would have liked to have met him- My dad's voice was much like his... I listen to this whenever I am sad... very appropriate- dreaming of a world that will never exist...
agtallgirl19999 :) I met Waylon once, told him I was named after one of his songs... he thought my name must be Amanda - I said no, its Anita - he said "I didn't think anyone remembered that song." I told him I'd never forget it :)
i got into waylon jennings by accident in the early seventies through a friend who went to live in texas. after that i never bought another artist. he is the king.
One of the greatest; RIP, Waylon. Love ya! (Thanks for posting this Slasheri ... I think you're description was off a bit though. I think he is singing to his mistress, telling her 'it's over", I'm going back to my WIFE.
Actually, he was married. He was married to his second wife Lynne when he wrote this because they were going through trying to leave each other, and he loved Barbara Rood and knew that if Lynne got her way then he and Barbara would not be married. In the end, they were. But at this point in Waylon's life (in the video) he was singing this for Barbara, because he loved her, and wanted to be with her and she wanted the same, only it seemed that they weren't to be.
Man I've said it before and I'll say it again his voice sounds alot like Gordon Lightfoot - a good thing! Waylon was a Southern folkie, just like Johnny.
i thik this is the best song jennings ever made. I like this song because of its easy english, I´m German an my father and me listenend to his song sice I was 10 and at 14 I understand it nearly complete.
no it havent unfortuantly my grandfather was a seaman and my father too and they wer in america in the 50s (gradfather ) and in the 80s my fahter and they take a lot of records with and i listend to nearly all and i love country music and of caus rock´n roll ...excuse me for my mistakes in spelling i am german
Waylon was great...I on the other hand can on certain days after a good meal of pork and beans, fart better sounds than that drugged out no talent bore, Dylan could ever grunt...and I will not send you a pair of my underwear to sniff no matter how many personal emails you send asking, so there...
your fuckin nuts pal. dylan was THE most important poet of the last 50 years. and he sounded great. this song is in no way a ripoff of ramona. they both borrowed from old old folk and country. mucho respect to all three partys
Dylan sucks, I never could suffer through a single song and he can not sing worth a shit. Hank Williams Sr was and is the greatest song writer ever...think as you please as I will also
you are the nut or on drugs as this idiot Dylan is, hell, he cant make a sentence much less sing...he acts as if his brain was fried and it probably is..you can't accept that does not matter...some dumb shits even call rap, music, what a joke....
look at the duet w hank sr and anita carter god is anita carter beautiful I CANT HELP IT IF IM STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU.i think hank was like 12 when he wrote this stuff just kidding .
Hey man, it's all cool. Let's make an analogy between music and food. When a person is young, inexperienced, etc, candy and pizza are probably at the top of his list of favorite foods. As he grows older, wiser, and more refined, he realizes the unapproachable value of steak, shrimp, caviar, and fine wine. ACDC is candy, Waylon is caviar. You, are a musical toddler. Give it time. As you grow, you will understand.
I always wondered about that. They did some duets together. I hope someone can post some of them. Anita had a powerful voice and one of the best I ever heard. Beautiful woman too.
I too, think Anita had a beautiful voice, and wondered why she never made it "big". Waylon mentions her in his biography as he "fancied" her, whatever that means!
I have heard the same thing. They did do some duets together in the later 60s and of course Waylon met her when he was a roomy of Cash. True or not, I have no idea?
i hate the way american people pronounse my name (Anita ^^)...if your are europeen you can imagine it better ...they spell it like enida...not like A N I T A with a "T" not spelled like a "d" and an a spelled like an "e"
Not to be disrespectful, but people who speak different languages pronounce things differently =) The names "Roberto" and "Pedro" are perfect examples. English speakers do not roll their R's. Pedro sounds like Pay-Jro in English. But, thank you very much for enlightening me on the correct pronunciation of your name. However, if you were American, you would pronounce it the way Waylon (and the rest of us) do. In my country, we call it an accent.
A side note to my previous comment. The world hadn't found him yet, but that's where Jessie (aka Miriam Johnson Eddy) found him. So I guess it was a good gig.
Waylon Jennings, the singer with the golden musical voice. this video is excellent, he look so young and clean, his voice is not as deep as in his later years but it's very rich and smooth.
Excellent video, I wish I knew how to get a copy...
You can get it on Ebay for $5.00 or less The video is from the (1967) movie titled "The Road to Nashville" with Bill Anderson - Norma Jean Beasler - The Carter family - Johnny Cash - Lefty Frizzell - Waylon Jennings - Bobby Osborne - Sonny Osborne - Bill Phillips - Webb Pierce - Margie Singleton - Connie Smith - Hank Snow - The Stoneman Family - Porter Wagoner - Kitty Wells - Dottie West - Don Winters - Johnny Wright - Ruby Wright - Faron Young and Speck Rhodes
this man is without comparison-- period --- new or old there is no comparison to his voice---- no comparison-- did i say there was no comparison to waylon jennings? oh i didn't ---ok 4 the last time ---no soup for you!!
I don't think so. The first one was covered while he played in Phoenix in the early 60's. The second one, with the black pick guard he got in the 70s I'm pretty sure.
