  • Seems like y'all consider this a great Country song by JLL. I don't disagree, but it feels like gospel to me. Whichever, it is especially good.

  • This song was recorded Oct,5,1970. It was never released on any of Jerry Lee's albums, It's only available on the Bear Family Box set, " Mercury Smashes ... And Rockin' Sessions". Fantastic, Gotta Love the Killer. His "Mercury - Smash" Years are his Greatest Recordings. (1963 - 1978)

  • Jerry Lee, love you!

  • Jerry Lee Lewis is old school. If this rendition was a sentiment to someone who raised him this is the way he recognized and loved her. Since during his day any relation with a black woman no matter her role would have killed his career this truly had to be someone he loved and who loved him. I don't see why anyone would call this a disgrace someone took him in raised him even at her own peril/danger in those days and did the best she could.

  • wow

  • @littletwonk I agree with you. There is no 2 doubs he sure can sing.  This is the 1st time that I have heard this song and to me it is fantastic.

  • I am sure this song was never released officially in the States.

    It was considered too racially sensitive at the time but I understand

    it was a big hit in Europe. Even today it is only available on import

    box sets from Bear Family Records (Germany).

    I was lucky to get it on a HQ bootleg
