Funny, but I was so engulfed in his music that I used to rock my son to sleep at night to this song..Now, I would give the world to be back in her arms and have my son back again..
i love listening to Willie . whenever i feel depressed or like crap, i play Willie's songs and then i feel like the world is alright again. aint nothen like the classics
Red Headed Stranger is the BEST album ever. If you just sit and listen to the words. The words to every song say something we have all felt. Beautiful album. If you haven't heard it, hear it. Listen to the whole album because it tell a beautiful, touching story.
@pegleg1762 ....This whole album is so relatable. This song and Time of The Preacher are my favorites. Any of us who have lost a love have "cried like a baby, and screamed like a panther in the middle of the night"
A simple but wonderful country song from back when country music was country music, and pop music was pop music. "Red Headed Stranger", is a great a concept album about a preacher on the run after murdering his wife and her lover.
Love this song... It's the one that made then-seventeen-year-old-me into a Willie fan, and I'll never forget the first time I heard it, in the car with my Mom after I'd just had my first "break-up experience." :)
This is one of the best country songs ever written..Willy has wrote many of the greats..but this one I have cooked and sang with for 35 years...Many a biscuit has been made to his music...I am sure mu husband is indebted to Willy for many good meals..II used to get up at 4 in the morning and make tortillas to pack his lunch while I played The Red Headed Stranger album..fond memories..We were young, poor and happy..Music like this made life easier when it was hard..Thank You..
After the Ride, Early in the Morning, I loaded up my Horse & was on my way home, It was a Dreary, Foggy Morning, I was just coming up on the Entrance into John D Long Lake, Willie Came on my Truck`s Radio Singing this song, I was just thinking of those Babies being in that Car in that Cold Dark water,
Susan Smith Drowned her Two babies here in South Carolina in John D Long Lake in Union, SC. Me & my Best Friend went Horseback Riding & Camping up at CROFT State Park with his two little Girls.
My friend in the war sent me this song, that is when I heard it for the first time ever... I cried, it has such profound meaning to me now... he's my b/f and I hope to marry him someday!
@smurfaliscious That's an awesome tribute! As a Army Infantry veteran I am moved by both the song and the way it was sent to you, as well as the tribute you've paid. Thanks for the Sharing...
Thank you so much for putting this beautiful song up. It means a lot to me. I was looking for this song everywhere, and you just happened to put it up on my birthday :)

The wonderful Willie has written so many beautiful songs that were covered
by other singers. Most of these are better than the originals. Just listen to
Jeannie Seely's version of this song or Elvis' "Always on my mind" or Patsy
Cline's "Crazy" or Faron Young's version of "Hello Walls" and last but not least
a lot of other verisons of "Funny how time slips away"
