[@alxtgee1]

You can tell how much fun Grandpa was always having pickin and singin

[@22julip]

He was a natural entertainer!!!! He could sing and when hit that banjo it rang out and you couldn’t help but to smile and feel good . There will never be another Grandpa !!!!!

[@chrishensley6745]

Good Ol Dixie!!! Love Ol Grandpa!!

[@kraig7777]

He was ahead of his time in the way he rocked out with his vocals.

[@garybryson1900]

Grandpa was fun. I miss the country stars from the 50's and 60's.

[@masoncrawford9386]

I'm in band, and after every halftime show we used to play this song.But I'm sad because it got taken down for confederation. Now we play another song. It sucks.

[@amsiriano1]

Sad and ridiculous. Cherish the memory.

[@augustkraus1389]

I was a freshman in college the last time the Pride of the South (Ole Miss band) played "Dixie" in 2016. Adios rebels, hello "black bears" and "landsharks".

If this is true, it is outrageous. We, as Americans, shouldn't be lying down and taking this. We need to educate!

I hope y'all will reply to this Grandpa Jones sang this song on the first episode of Hee Haw which aired June 15 1969 on CBS

HE WAS A GOOD MAN

Long live Dixieland

[@orangehornet57]

What a great entertainer! Did anyone else wonder if that mustache was real? He literally grew into the part.

[@donaldLcady]

WOW Jimmy Capps playing lead Guitar backing Grandpa...………….

[@t4texastom587]

Yes Grandpa....l most definitely am from Dixie! My ancestors arrived at Jamestown in 1607 on the first boat, and like many others, migrated to Caroline, Tennessee, and Alabamy.... and finally to 🇨🇱Texas🇨🇱!!

[@KevinBearden-hq6wg]

I have Jerry Reed cd and he played this song to love to Hear Granpaw Jones play

[@PRR5406]

The chords to this song are not difficult, but his expertise in frailing the banjo was phenomenal. I'd have loved to have met him.

[@williamwimer2074]

He and his wife were in my home town back in the late 70s as he was the Grand Marshal of the Strawberry festival that year. They put on a show on Saturday evening. Best ever. A real showman.

[@rogerpropes7129]

Are you from Poteet?

[@williamwimer2074]

No. Buckhannon, West Virginia...strawberry festival since 1932 ?

[@COACHINHBALL]

I'm from Dixie...

[@joshthehooman7204]

Grandpa does some heavy breakdowns.

[@rhesreeves5339]

Grandpa doing the windmill long before Pete Townshend and playing hard as hell long before Stevie Ray Vaughan.. I'm serious!

[@OliverNeirich]

[@williampalchak7574]

We crossed that Masy-Dixie in '94, y'all.

[@francie1953]

I saw him in person at a bluegrass festival 50 years ago and he was a great performer. I wonder if there are any pictures of him without his makeup and outfit.

[Verse 1] Hello, there, stranger! How do you do? There's something I'd like to say to you Now, don't be surprised, you're recognized! I'm no detective but I've just surmised You're from the place where I long to be Your smiling face seems to say to me You're from my own land My sunny homeland Tell me can it be? [Chorus] That you from Dixie! I said from Dixie! Where the fields of cotton beckon to me I'm glad to see you Tell me how be you And the friends I'm longing to see Are you from Alabama, Tennessee or Caroline Any place below the Mason Dixon line Oh you're from Dixie I said from Dixie! 'Cause I'm from Dixie too! [Verse 2] It was a way back in eighty nine I crossed that old Mason Dixon line Gee but I've yearned Longed to return To that ole place that I left behind My home is way down in Alerbam' On a plantation near Birmingham There's one thing's certain I'm always flirtin' With those southbound trains [Chorus] That run to Dixie! I said to Dixie! Where the fields of cotton beckon to me I'm glad to see you Tell me how be you And the friends I'm longing to see Are you from Alabama, Tennessee or Caroline Any place below the Mason Dixon line Oh you're from Dixie I said from Dixie! 'Cause I'm from Dixie too!

More true facts!

[@valentinius62]

Interesting. I was just listening to the 1920s song _Crazy Words, Crazy_ tune here on KZbin a while ago. Another song written by Jack Yellen (with Milton Ager). He also wrote _Happy Days Are Here Again_ . This song goes way back to 1915. Looking around, it seems that the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band covered _Crazy Words, Crazy Tune_ .

[@KennethDawson-zv8rn]

More true facts! Are we clear!

[@alansouzacruz970]

Funny grandpa

[@amsiriano1]

I love two other versions of this song: the best one of all, in my opinion, is by Harley Allen, and The Blue Sky Boys do a slightly different take on the number.

The Seminole Indians never surrendered to the new settlers, going deep into the glades and almost inviting the invaders in who recognized that would be suicide and so they were left alone. Others after them fled to Fla which still sports the confederate flag in tallahasee never signed the surrender papers in the civil war either . Come to Florida, the best place in the whole world!

Outstanding!! Just don't understand why they chose to stick that damned electric guitar in there. Electric guitars nor steel guitars don't belong anywhere near someone who is playing claw hammer banjo!!!

[@t4texastom587]

I totally agree. Jimmy Capps was, as everyone knows, a super picker, but I'm with ya'.... electric guitar don't go with old-time banjo. R. I. P. GRANDPA 🪕JONES JIMMY 🎸CAPPS
