this reminds me of how my father would call up our cows. when he would call for the cows to feed it would always give me goosebumps listening to him cry for them. my dad sounds so much like eddy arnold (when he is 'wooing' in the song) my dad would holler for the cattle and this was his call 'come on girls suc(sounds almost like suck), suc, suc come on wooooo' u get my point. this songs makes me truly happy.

Is it me, or is that cow at :49 sec so cool....Eddie had one of the most AMAZING voices on the planet! GREAT video!

@PirateDanRocco Thank You. I adore the cow. It's hard to find a picture that goes with the line "way out where the doggies bawl" That was as close as I could get. =)

I have listened to Eddy Arnold since I was about 7 or 8 or earlier. I'm 42 now. My Grandma & Papaw would play him all the time. I remember driving back with them from California to Montana (where I lived at the time) in their Winnebego and sitting in the front floor area on an ice chest (seatbelts weren't mandatory back then) and using a fly swatter as a guitar playing and singing Eddy's songs the whole way on their 8 track player. Great memories.

@zrsgolfer I have never seen you or them, but I can totally picture it! I'm ..er...40 something too and the reasoning behind this video is close to the same. It was one of my Daddy's favorites.. He sang it around the house, in his shop and when putting me to sleep. I sure miss him! Thank you sooo much for sharing that story here.

thanks for posting this bud! im 14 and my grand paw john ray made me help with the hay harvest this year and he sang this damn song all the way back home holding up traffic in his old ford with that 20ft tralior over loaded with hay and when someone would try to pass him he would move to the center haha!

When I was in high school, this was on the juke box in our lunchroom. It was the vice principals favorite and it got played EVERY SINGLE LUNCH TIME.

I usually don't say ______ brought me here, but I will this time. My Own Private Idaho brought me here.

@hobie65202 didn't you just love to hear our fathers calling the cattle. I still use the same call, but I don't sound as good as my dad. It took his cattle 2 weeks to finally come when I called, they were used to him. It took them awhile, but now they are use to me.

[randallrayrichards]

@gizmotwadlebutt I used to get really hyped up when my dad called them up to feed. Our pasture is by a mountain, and heavily forrested in parts. We couldn't see the cattle, but when my dad called them they would always bawl, making it easy to locate them. I loved that, he would call and we'd sit in silence and listen for them. Then in the distance you'll hear them bawl. I'm glad people are still using cattle calls. I hope it will be continued, I don't want it to die out.

@randallrayrichards We still do it just like you father. I can still hear my old friend Pete calling the herd in when I was young. It seemed like magic to me that cows would come to that back then.

randallrayrichards: I know the exact sound, dad did it too.

Oh my god....... I have been looking for this song for years!

I remember every sunday night my station would play old country music and this would come on but i wasn't sure of the name But I just knew i loved this song. I am pretty sure I haven't heard this song sense I was 9, 6 years later I still love this song.
