[Katieeee8590]

my grandad used to listen to this <3

[wrestling782]

willie and hank do it better

[donedave]

I heard Willie's version of this song first, before I heard the Allman's original; And as much as I do love & cherish the Allman Bros. original, Willie's version burns like a motherfucker!! Love it too!! Micky rocks the harp!!

[jcola99]

way to cop off of the Allman BROTHERS you asshole faggot

[SktRat4life]

@jcola99 asshole faggot? LOL

[jcola99]

[vsop333]

9 PEOPLE ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THEIR OWN SOUL.

[kriscountry16]

willie nelson will live on forever through his amazing music.

[ultramne]

[xxhumblepiexx]

I work with a chick who looks like Willie.

Willie is and always will be a fucking monster.

[2112Zeppelin]

I fucking love this song no matter who plays it!!!!!!

[Pissugar]

this song is fucking unstoppable, WILLIE NELSON FOR LIFE

[crustt800]

8 people got eaten by cyotes

[MrMachoMilk]

Gotta run to keep from hidin

[lorrin1950]

Uniquely Willie. One of the best versions around.

At work, the country fans don't listen to Willie and Waylon, and avoid Hank Williams Sr like the plague. Guess it's up to us to keep the faith.

[TheSuperOrre]

Im 14 years old and i just love this kind of music! We are like 20 persons that listen to this music in my school and thats a shame, todays music is just shit!

[blazersfan25]

@TheSuperOrre Words of a wise young man! Lol check out my favorites page on here and listen to some of the good music you werent around to here!

[Mustacheftw]

@TheSuperOrre For 14 years old, your grammar is shit. Spend more time in English class and less time fishing for attention.

[jtp1389]

@TheSuperOrre Shut the fuck up, you illiterate simpleton

[benedito8676]

ñ sei quem colocou este vd na net mais achei muito bom. deviam lembrar mais do passado e postar mais videos como bob nelson e outros das antigas. tá de parabéns quem teve essa ideia.

[uberdavez]

WILLIE NOT ONLY IN A GREAT SINGER AND SONGWRITER , HE IS A KICK ASS GUITAR PLAYER TOO. TOTAL TALENT.

[thebuckshot1]

best cover ever

[briank06261973]

Dusty Rhodes used this song for his theme when he supposedly banned from the NWA in the mid 80s. He returned as a masked wrestler known as the Midnight Rider. Would have pulled it off perfectly, but the unmistakable voice gave him away.

[colemanpike]

I'm not even born yet, and I listen to Willie.

[jwakeful]

@colemanpike Me too! Everyone else in my womb listens to Bieber. (There's 6 of us)

[avoed1973]

@colemanpike haha great hope you come out sining lol

[MrSAYITAGAIN09]

@colemanpike LMFAO

[XFighterinlove]

Best version

[iriejen1]

get off me.

[YATYAS67]

i'm 45. I've been jammin' on Willie since I was maybe 7? I remember listening to him on dad's old 8-tracks.

[fmy1228]

I believe it might be Charlie McCoy on the harmonica...not sure DarrylXE.

[thinkhard34]

I freakin love Willie. I know this will get me some haters but sometimes he misses on a cover song. Allman Brothers do this song best. Not a good interpretation of the song if you ask me. SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T HATE ME! :(

[YokTomSqueegee]

@thinkhard34 - I don't hate you, I just disagree. I think this is the BEST version of Midnight Rider. I've loved it since I first heard it while watching Robert Redford ride that horse down the street in Las Vegas in "The Electric Horseman."

[Darkangelrock92]

im more a rock n roll chick, but i do love some country music, willie is the king!

[5henangn]

@Darkangelrock92 MEEEE too but we cant deny great ness and respect the years of that greatness right:}

[Tnate17]

Now this is some serious driving music, idk about you guys. But I am perfectly content driving at night with no one with me and just listening to some good Willie Nelson.

[miwade2001]

15 yrs old well 30 years ago at 15 it Willie and Waylon for me. Great music

[wolfkarel]

If it ain't Willie's way........it's NO WAY! ;-)

[5henangn]

what ana amazing cover LOVE the train keeps a goin sounds <3

[apakalypse76]

@5henangn this is not a cover willie did it first!

[DarrylXE]

Who played harp on this?

[mousefiles]

Like we say in France.... Putain sérieux c'est trop bon ce morceau, ça tue !!!!

[Countrychiddler]

You wil never catch Willie without a smokin' ass band!

[7000alfred]

@codaygman ....Nope here's another 15 yr old but i listen too Willie Nelson,Johhny Cash,Waylon Jennings,Hank Williams Sr. + Jr. ,Osbourne Brothers, and any other classic country ever made <3 good music will never die

[8thunderlittleponys]

No dude also i'm 15 years old, i listen to country music and i really like it.

[TheThomasmoon]

The STONES have rock n roll but WILLIE HAS IT ALL

[nbah92]

Love willie, my favorite country artist ever but personally i prefer the allman brothers band version of this song.

[Mackers2317]

On a scale from 1 to Barbara Streisand, this is kind of annoying

[nmashburn520]

love me some Willie

[48snowbird]

Great song! Stay free Willie!

[TheLuckyladyliz]

you mother lovers wont never ever ever catch the rider of midnight

[848Harorider]

yeah at my school all the 'redneck' kids park on the back row with there god knows how high chevy and ford truck and all you hear comin from back there is loud ass bass thumping coon tunes. i think im the only one who comes up listening to mel street, waylon, willie. etc.

[WaylonForever]

None of my friends want to listen to my ipod because I don't have any rap on it. they try and act like bad ass's and I tell them willie would kick your ass and he's in his 70's

[zombiedrummerkissfan]

@WaylonForever I Know The Feeling...

You Say You Like Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Or Hank Willams Sr. And The Whole Damn School Laughs At You....

[jacobusbezemer]

the man owns this song and the mouth organ is just brilliant, sends chills down my spine

[jaker1457]

@codaygman Dude me too. Nobodys even heard of em at my school.

[lonebiker20]

licensePeppermints68, My collection goes back to the 30's and 40's and I have "The wreck of Old 97" by Vernon Dalhart on the "Okey" lable, but my jeep won't move until my XM radio has "Willies Place" on.

[fireworkmike]

I miss Davey Mac.



[IncensePeppermints68]

i am probably the only 2 year old at my day care that knows who Willie Nelson and George Jones are, all the kids at my day care are jealous of my vinyl collection and my original record player from 1959, all they have is diapers and shit haha

[moderndarkage]

Somebody is goin' to town on that harmonica, git it man!

[ChazStrummer]

@moderndarkage Almost definitely Mickey Raphael.

[billyk5775]

The Band sang this song alright. But I think that Willie's version was better.

[caseyjones67]

did the allman bros write this or did they just cover it

[SuperPepper64]

@SuperPepper64 This wis wrote by Gregg Allman and Robert Payne.

[dylanbeaver]

greg allman is the best

[Levering87]

Not bad, but I think I like the Allman Brother's original better.

[FINLETTU]

Great version of great song. I really dig thtta harmonica

[TheMaskedDonut]

This is a good cover, but I prefer the Allman Brothers version. The song kicks ass anyway

[rodrma]

I always think of Willie riding in "Barbarosa" when I hear him cover this song.

[MrGrumf]

I love this song! Willie Nelson is the best!

[ars754]

U aint the only 15 year old i love them to

[kingachybraky]

Can anyone tell me which CD this particular version is on???

[newkdawg3000]

much as i love Willie Nelson, he ain't got nothin on the ol' ABB

[imiss1]

townes version is much better

[360deeman]

Fuck CDs I have willie on Vinly

[gochief69]

I like Willie...anyone who stands on top of the whitehouse and smokes a joint is alright in my book...rock on willie!.....sending you some love from southern Illinios...this joints for you brother!

[MtofShadows]

@gochief69

That's awesome, did they get that on film. I heard about it, but didnt see it.

[codaygman]

i believe im the only 15 year old at my school that listens to willie nelson and waylon jennings

[bootlegpreacher]

That's what they want you to believe. Don't fall for it. I found later that I wasn't the only one listening to Hank Sr. though I probably was the only one listening in my walkman during class.

[fasterthanyou187]

hah im one of 3 people in my highschool i know of who listens to ol hoss and willie...only way to be my friend...

Nova Scotia, Canada

[waymoreblues]

[jaker1457]

@codaygman dude im 15 as well, and i was raised on this shit, this has meaning, and everyone at my school thinks im weird cuz i listen to these outlaws.

[ctoregan]

@codaygman, I grew up with this music, but only appreciated it later in life. Don't worry about whether others like it. Heck, I ran away from it when I was your age! ;-) Now I love the Highway Men.

[killingman22]

@codaygman i believe u am the only 12 year old at my school who listens to willie nelson

[jayde1ash]

@codaygman Ya ,,,you must be in a great school district..these guys stormed the path for the Alan , Vince, Garth, on and on ..Keep it alive ,,

[MastaMilam]

@codaygman Your not man! I listen to it all the time at school.

[Huntinbear]

@codaygman ... I know how you feel, back in my high school days. I swear I was the only person who knew who Dolly Parton was.

[WeatherToad]

@codaygman dude I'm 20 and I swear I'm the only kid at my college that even knows who Willie The Allman Brothers or Waylon Jennings are... waymoreblues is right, we gotta carry it forward into the next generation! peace!

[draccanon]

@codaygman same! i hate new country and stuff but i love willie! i like everything i think everyone needs to expand their tastes

[first2nd2002]

[LibertasVideos]

@codaygman That is a shame, but good for you. Hope you give'm hell too. Don't believe all the crap you hear in school either. Question everything - Ex high school teacher.

[anndydiazk20a]

@codaygman yeaa i think the same to what aree the odds off other teens like me in the bronx that listin to music like this

[manafao]

@codaygman I don't know where you're from, but I'm from Portugal, and I love Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, and I'm also 15 :D

[Britain101able]

@codaygman me to!!

[dmbfan95]

@codaygman dude same here. stay with it, its better than all that justin queeber shit on the radio.

[zeso32]

@codaygman Hell yeah brother we're all lifeguards, don't let the real music drown, dive in head first and save em!

[gmcbigrig79]

@codaygman Im happy to hear that bud!!! keep that 'ol southern music goin from generation to generation! your the type of kid everyone is countin on!!!

[austin7956]

@codaygman i have a hat that used to belong to waylin jennings....

[mralmeister1]

@codaygman rock on. :) beats the hell out of most of the stuff out now. check out Hank III.

[pooper82]

@codaygman which means you are the only cool 15 year old in your school

[zepherford]

@codaygman Probably not......... These guys go back a long....... LONG way. Some won't own up to it, I'll bet Dad turned them on to it.

[crustt800]

@codaygman its alright im from salford and im probably the only 16 year old in the city who listens to willie nelson

[Redneck6872]

@codaygman im with ya so am i

[Ridenby1]

@codaygman No shame there.

[TheBossjdhogg]

@codaygman Keep it up man!!! Many guys who are the same age as u really need to get some music culture!! They grow up full of shit, with all of that new hip hop (respect for the old one, but all hip hop from 2004 till now is really crap), and all of that indie-pop-rock, or what they call it..

[denimandbluebells23]

@TheBossjdhogg Oh my gosh I totally agree! Everyone makes fun of me cause im the ONLY one in my school who listens to country at all, let a alone the great (or what they call "old") icons of the great genre we call country. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Jones, that stuff is real.

[fabaquarius1953]

omg how can anyone say willie has an ugly voice i could listen to him all day in fact i do

[woodydarland]

ugly voice???? WTF is wrong with you?

[aaronamccoy]

yep..willie a tunesmith..this shit rides nice..

[matzchase]

How can a man with such an ugly voice make every song he sing so damn good?

[1dudeman2]

ugly voice?

[cindaflame]

yeah...this is the one they used in Electric Horseman..I've been looking for this! Cool.

love this song.

[wiliamheadwoods]

best movie in the world

[crwhitneythegreat]

Theres 1 other version, on a cd w/ an eagle/man face on it...anybody know title?

[integrity5264]

love that harp

[iguessnotful]

Listen to the riff in the break...that guitar is talking

[gskoal333]

Check out Steve Mcdaniels version of this great song!!!

[metalsavedmylife]

nice i saw wille a couple years ago

[rambosurfer1]

The harmonica player kicks ass on this version!

[MarcellusReadhead75]

Excelent version! Willie's always amazing!

[wiliamheadwoods]

wot album is dis song on?

[zoom3424]

Oh my god i have this song on an old casette tape  it is awesome!!!!!

[toddman3001]

this is GREAT!!! I've never heard Willie do this before.

Thanks for the post:)

[darkmarzok]

Willie kicks ass on this song.

[walkshe]

This is from the soundtrack of "Electric Horseman" with Robert Redfort and Willie Nelson. I love the movie and the part Willie played in it. Great movie, GREAT soundtrack.

[nanahara18]

WOW, Amazing

[nealdog12]

awesome song,love the beat

[UKReferendum]

I aint gonna Let 'em Catch me No ... God Bless Ya' Willie VGM Salute ... !!!

[10Bones01]

-Willie is the man-

[Txman1996]

Willie sure knows how to sing this song!!!

[Sesmatic]

naw the allman bro did this song the best and it's the prfrct get away song

[damienkufner]

lets give the man sve najbolje je naj bolji sa muzikom - Damir

[gatawyn]

a cool song from a cool country legend.

[goon0202]

Anything willie sings will be my fav. Midnight rider, Me and bobby mcgee ect....

[hazelbays]

Heard this for the first time on my drive home from work this morning. I never knew he covered this. Love it.

[rcktman772]

Willie sang this tune in the Electric Horseman, in my opinion it is better than the Allmond Bros.

[ih8thishit]

there's a lot of versions... Gregg's solo version was probably the best overall, but Willie's is right up there. I like the 'ghost story' version of Gregg and the 'pissed off runaway dont give a shit outlaw' version of Willies. (whatever mood or state of mind Im in at the time)

[richiemabie]

Willie is the balls, in my opinion the Alman brother's version will always be the best , respectfully !

[acerb45666555]

fuckin sweeet!! * * * * *

[arkansawpunker]

Rock on Willie!

[BIGD1271941]

Who really sang this on the electric horseman. It sounded good.

[redsoxnation897]

i believe it was the allmond brothers

[diddymuck]

perfect pitch. Willie got rhythm! Hey Willie, how about Jonnie B. Good sometime?

[diddymuck]

Not bad, but too much liberty taken with the melody

[Kdees]

huh how dare u say that!! if Allman's hear u they gonna spit in ur face.

[cameony]

i'm fairly certain that he meant willie takes too much liberty...

[Dash171]

MANY bands have played this song, Willie and the Allman Bros hit it home...Event Waylon's over there wasn't on par with this.

P.S F*ck this guy down there I

 I I

V

[omnadrener]

Allman Brothers Is Better But This is cool

[wolfkarel]

The difference between this and today's "so-called" country music.......THIS HAS HEART & SOUL & KICKS ASS!!

Ride on WILLIE!

[bronzy313]

@wolfkarel

let the cowboys ride...let the cowboys ride

[waltzingtilly]

I know what we could do to get our nations economy back right quick?!

start opening America's favorite cash crop!!!

ddddaaaah?!

FREEEE the world!!!

[diddymuck]

sugar?

[waltzingtilly]

I wish I could have been raised on this stuff,

I pretend I was!!

[BloodDemon293846]

And this, my friends, is music.... :)

[lettucefail]

Great to hear this version again. Something about the vocals makes me like it more then the original

[leonor123456]

darn thrilling pianoooo!

[RedAllison]

Let someone else try that exact version and it'd be shit. Willie is so from another planet and better than most he works in his own stratosphere. If you hate Willie you hate America and don't know shit about American music in the first place. There's Rock, Country, the Blues and then there's WILLIE!!!
