I used to listen to this song as a child sung by Smiley Bates...beautiful song

[@robinhood480]

Finally.... someone else who knows about Smiley Bates. My Grandpa shared that music with me. Thanks 😊

[@littlelulu4107]

@@robinhood480 I loved his music as a child. This song was a fave. Still is

[@bazthehandyman]

Fab classic sound.

[@jeffman454ss]

good voice!

[@MistyMountaineers]

Sally Goodin is the instrumental and Goodin is the way that boy sings and picks that guitar

[@jamescaison7694]

Mac Wiseman OWNS taking Mary Home but Larry does a good job. Larry picks a hell of a guitar, beautiful finger work on the board!

[@gingermc2]

@MistyMountaineers Thanks, Paul, I knew you'd come up with the name! lol!

[@gingermc2]

@missyoumama Yes, he is. I really enjoyed listening to him & his band. (and doing a bit of jamming with him)

[@Lasagander1]

Yea that's bout as real as it gets righton thx

[@scottknickman1520]

My father wrote that song

[@RTRDick]

Great version, have been trying to learn this for years, but can only do it out of D which is not the same thing at all. B flat really gets the guitar working, but can't sing there. I like this as well as the Country Gents, version which is saying a lot.

[@pattyadkins3531]

I've heard many do this song. By far the best I've heard right here. Not many know the story of Mary is a tragic true story

[@missyoumama]

This guy is very good :)

[@Ksp9264]

nice pickin guys !

[@perv8898]

This is a Martin crowd, for sure! You might be hard pressed to find a Taylor anywhere around this shack. LOL

[@JackGAdams]

Great sing of this old Red Sovine song Ging....just uploaded it myself... Best to you and yours in 2012 Jack

[@gingermc2]

@JackGAdams Same to you, Jack!

[@xantrilla]

anyway we can get the tabs? the guitar in this is mesmerizing to me

[@sharonscott8075]

Where was this recorded? and when?

[@johnnystafford1826]

Carol is hot.

[@antidelemma5338]

If this is a yearly event, I would like to know more about it such as where it is and contact person and phone number.

[@adegaetano12]

Sounds a lot like Tracy Lawrence

[@Bluegrassboy49]

Great song and I really enjoyed Larry's singing and guitar playing. Sure wish that fiddle player would have backed off and let Larry extend his break.

[@jeannieheard1465]

I wish my left index isn't now bent, twisted, and canted from an animal bite, because I would like to play that.

[@gingermc2]

He was good picker and singer.

[@WildwoodvalleyBoy]

...a little too high in "A" ?

[@derpmeyer5902]

Smells like Bengay and Icehouse

[@errnielitz701]

Don't hear this kind of music anymore,it has been replaced with crap from trashville.

[@mickmartin7009]

nashville is trashville....a far cry from what it used to be....

[@col.davidcrockett5959]

So true, my feelings exactly. The turds they call artists in Nashville now couldn’t even carry George Jone’s 🎸.
