Jimmie Rodgers - Daddy and Home

[@ThisNameWasTaken0]

Makes my stomach turn whenever I think that he passed before his father. RIP Jimmie Rodgers...

[@mysteryjesus]

I sure miss my daddy. But he's gone. We both loved Jimmie Rodgers and now I think of him and this song. I wish I could head down that old road to home and have Dad be still sitting in his chair and we could listen to Jimmie Rodgers records again. Tears as I type.

[@bethjones6104]

I understand. I grew up just like you. My father passed away & I can no longer listen to jimmy rogers music with my dad.

[@cldd5678]

Now this is country I can get into. Classic country is fantastic. Everything in the genre these days is so "America ra ra ra!". It's sad because it can be so much better than it is. Maybe it's just me, but that's how I see it at least.

[@richardunicorn7879]

I agree 100% with you. Classic country is much, much better than today's "country", if you can even call today's country "country".

[@queballed]

My Dad has been gone since 1991. Jimmy's music always reminds me of him. Dad was a true blue fan of his. He wasn't into frivolous things but he had a collection of old 10in records of Jimmie Rodgers he bought after he returned home from the war in the pacific in the Marine Corps in 1946. Pop truly loved his music.

[@pickygravis9]

Wish my DAD was around to enjoy this one gone tooo soon

[@Pentagonshark666]

For all people who understand of english this is the best song of dad/father. your personal father is the important thing in life and Jimmie noticed it.

[@ejdiii333]

I have the entire jimmie rodgers sog book collection, he is credited with writting this song. but jimmie himself often said he had heard many songs, or parts of for years, and they belonged to the rural folk of the old days, so who knows on most of them. but being the father of coutry music, he lived the songs he sang,and never forgot his rural, poor roots, especially the hard times and good music.

[@sandrahornbeck8070]

My Daddy used to sing these songs ,He was born in 1909 and passed i 1990 , love my Dear old Daddy. Like Jimmy Rodgers music.

[@user-qz3hb9kk5u]

Most songs about loving your parents are usually targeted towards both parents or just moms. It's nice to see a song about appreciating dad's :)

[@1973slimshady1973]

this song makes me cry my dad was killed in 75 i was 2 then i wish i had a father so be glad you got one

[@rebelrandle]

For my Dad, 9-29-13 to 10-23-2005 RIP

[@goodhatch]

Good ol' Jimmie said "if you use more than three chords in a song your bragging". What a huge pioneer of country music. Many thanks for the video !!

[@jlopez97122]

He did some bragging in this song 😂

[@inmann]

my Dad and Jimmie were very good friends up till Jimmie died. God bless him

[@mskittykatty]

for my daddy. I love you always. and he is and always will be a Jimmie rodgers fan. thanks for this. makes me cry. take care.

[@rodenderon1]

My Grandaddy, Jim Gilbert, worked with Rodgers on the Railroad while passing through Mississippi. Rodgers asked him to go on the road and play harmonica, but my Grandma wouldn't let him because old Jimmie liked to tip the bottle. I feel like Jimmie Rodgers inspired me as a musician, passed down through my Grandaddy and my MOTHER, who could also play blues guitar. RIP

[@thomasobrien1213]

I was introduced to Jimmie in 1980 when i was 21 on a 5 hour car ride and when the ride was over i was sad. I needed more Jimmie.

[@gravityangel1225]

0:18 I am dreaming tonight of an old Southern town And the best friend that I ever had For I've grown so weary of roaming around I'm going back home to my dad 0:42 Your hair has turned to silver I know you're fading too Daddy, dear ol' Daddy I'm coming back to you 1:06 You made my boyhood happy But still I longed to roam I've had my way, but now I'll say "I long for you and for home" 1:42 Dear ol' Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joy You tried to bring me up right I know you'll still be just one of the boys So I'm starting back home tonight 2:07 You made my boyhood happy But still I longed to roam I've had my way, but now I'll say "I long for you and for home"

[@beckynankivell8639]

I sure wish Dad was still around so I could show him this.

[@1davis7861]

+Becky Nankivell Same here, Becky. My dad was such a Jimmie Rodgers fan that he named my younger brother after him, and my sister was named after Jimmie's wife, Carrie and daughter, Anita.

[@adalbertotrevor6461]

Hi there?

[@dig4tunes]

I've been listening to Jimmie Rodgers since I was in my teens(early 50's) and have never grown tired of listening to his music. I rememer that KZbin used to have only 1 video and now I find all these wonderful videos. Does anyone know their source and when they were taped? Whoever uploaded them did us a truly wonderful, heartwarming service.

[@overratedprogrammer]

They're from the movie he was in

[@helenrivard1631]

My Dad who we lost at the age 42 born 1911 loved this man singing, that why I like it so much..

[@adalbertotrevor6461]

Hi there !

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Jimmie Rodgers touched so many people with his words and music. He is loved by countless fans to this day. George Vreeland Hill

[@treystewart9812]

that he is him and Hank Williams and Johnny cash!

[@robertedwardbullock6681]

This, and the other clips of Jimmie Rodgers posted here, are gold.

[@capehorner1940]

This is the first video I have ever seen of Jimmy. I have loved him since my boyhood. I am now 70 years old but I still remember sitting round a peat fire in the Falkland Islands listening to him.

[@Lightning7smith]

i think jimmie rodgers never got the damn credit he deserved without him their would be no country music

[@larryhauser9288]

He is the father of country music. I think many acknowledge it.

[@danelsons]

I am proud to say if I'm half the man my dad was i'd be a great man! I love and miss you dad.

[@VA24541]

I have seen a few clips of Jimmie rodgers, but none as awesome as these. The audio & video are both exceptionally good. I really appreciate the fact these have been posted for us to see & hear. What a treat.

[@glennjohnson8170]

Glenn Johnson Pure gold.Perform a few of Jimmie`s songs today,so a BIG,BIG thankyou for posting these wonderful films of Jimmie.

[@boog5966]

Took songs sung by (Hobo's) and African Americans..and made complete ballads out of them...i started singing his songs at 7 yrs. Old, far as I'm concerned he's the father of country music...

[@SGraal]

Very good, i'm happy to see, that in this sad days we live on, we can steel listen to the good songs of the old days.

[@iluvme83]

Thanks so much for these.. I remember my Grandpa singing his songs to me when I was little... yesterday would have been his 88th birthday and I wish he was here to still sing these to me.

[@silusray715]

2019 and you’ve done sung me back home

[@singmeluv]

Jimmy Rodgers was one of the old time best singers and I'm sad he died so young. Love this song, makes me miss my dear sweet dad.

[@dustinleitheiser5164]

I'm only 19 and I'm a Jimmie rodgers fan

[@arinvests]

Love this song, like I do most of Jimmie's songs ~ Arthur

[@abhinanadanrouth6201]

What a wonderful song 🎉

[@perthcampsie]

Pure Brill , used to have a few 78.s when i was a boy here in Bonnie Scotland

[@LuvLivNeverDie]

I absolutely love this music every one says I'm born in the wrong generation(being I'm only 16)... but just this one song is better than any of the music today....(even modern country is become more of a hip hop tone)

[@treystewart9812]

if they tried to yodel it be a train wreck!

[@turnem1951]

PRICELESS ! What a Treat !

[@nanksyhanks]

I listened to this again on Father's. Day, and thought how similar Gene Autry's Silver Haired Daddy is to this. I miss my Daddy so much

[@pikeman80]

Jimmie Rodgers and Blind Blake......where real music started.

[@shaneh1983]

great song

[@mikemonroec8185]

Damn i wish i could see my Dad just 1 more time.

[@Justin-hb9wc]

Love this song

[@simonne234]

@GeorgeVreelandHill So nice to see that other folks like to listen to this music......those must have been the days for music.......love the yodeling......I did a little yodeling in my younger days but I think I learned it from listnening to old music of Jimmy

[@derbilmotion]

So beautiful and so thoughtful. I'm going to share this one with everybody I know this Father's Day.

[@rt122001]

Good music and so simple.

[@Karenawebb]

I love this 😭😭

[@djord34]

jimmy is the best.the song i like is daddy at home. keep him on and get more of im

[@turnem1951]

Priceless !

[@markdavis3905]

I find myself singing this song to myself quiet often at work or home plowing. Yes people still do that.

[@ClassicRockStays116]

so beautiful. i love jimmie.

[@HueyRocks23]

@loookehere For standard tuning it's C-G7-C-F-C-D7....adding a 7th (like C7) can also work. The recording here is a bit higher in key so it may sound a bit off, but it still works. You can always tune the guitar up a bit to be in the same key with Jimmie. Keep on strummin'.

[@thinhduonguc4548]

So sweet ♥

[@bluestreetcar]

Breathless... WOW *****stars, hands down ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

[@adalbertotrevor6461]

Hi there!

[@cyberbard]

Fantastic stuff. Thank you for uploading this.

[@AcheronKeres]

How can this awesome video have 19 thumbs down? Grow up haters!!!

[@redmuddr]

Dang man , that kinda grabs ya don't it?

[@stevehuffman3452]

I inherited about 800 78rpm records and found this recording on the Victor label in the collection. A little dusty, but sounds great. Closest thing to a time machine one can get!

[@jeffcrawford6069]

The tinny like audio could be sweetened up easily though it's perfect the way it is. Awesome!

[@gentleeyes]

I love this. You made my day

[@nanksyhanks]

I think I like this best of all theone's posted. Sad that he never made any money from all of his songs. Clint Eastwood made a picture about a " lunger" who sang as long as he could and died after his last song was sung. It was called "Songwriter", probably his best picture.

[@stevenreed3249]

I love my old dad,has bed bugs in house,,I love him though...I love him..

[@jeaninehoward173]

Would love to hear Mother Queen Of My Heart

[@djord34]

jimmy rodgers the best ever was. thats my music coutry folk.

[@accordianben]

wtg jimmie your number 1

[@buford1st]

❤️

[@TheApolloDoctrine]

I know this is an old post, but I really want to recommend Corb Lund to you. I realize he is a newer artist(within the last 10 years), and Canadian on top of that. But I really believe he has the heart that the old boys did. Listen to This Is My Prairie, a song about a small time farmer and the pressure and oppression of the oil industry. A true and heartfelt story.

[@MrJackmelling]

I saw Marty Stewart play that guitar or an exact replica on his show recently

[@docsavage98]

This guitar got handed down by his widow to Ernest Tubb who toured with it in his early years...it got equal billing to Ernest and about as many folks came to see the guitar as to hear ET

[@swgclips03]

cool guy.

[@MrMarkar1959]

This was how my life started,,then them mop headed drug addicts from overseas showed up and Electric Blues is everyday still in some form🎸✌🏼

[@70goldtop]

That guitar he's playing is worth about 2 million dollars...

[@lemanwilson1281]

james madison That Guitar is not for sale at any price !!!

[@rustyshakelford1279]

Willy jack and Leon’s tune! ( reservation dogs)

[@docsavage98]

I'm pretty sure it's either in the Hall of Fame or at Ernest's Record Shop Downtown.

[@williammollett]

jimmy died in the year i was born in and you want find anyone that sing like jimmy

[@Pentagonshark666]

This is saddest song ever.

[@mysteryjesus]

Both are sad. But Jimmie's hits home harder for me.

[@1973slimshady1973]

so give ur dad a hug for me

[@moeezS]

Heard it on Reservation Dogs.

[@mr.warmth1511]

he was going back to live with his daddy in dixie

[@TheOneAndOnlyFaithK9]

does anyone know if you can find his songs on CD im 14 and love his songs but i can onley find them on youtube

[@robertbutler8361]

The Jimmie Rodgers Society recorded all of Jimmie’s songs on 8 LP records on the RCA label sometime previous to 1970. He wrote and sang about 120 in all. Robert Butler

[@lemanwilson1281]

Faith Edwards You can order them from any music co.

[@TheOneAndOnlyFaithK9]

OK thanks

[@mendoza2489]

Spotify my friend.

[@lilwyte901]

@cldd5678 u know whats sad is nowadays we have to remind ourselves what America is with that new "americana" music i call it. back then there was no dispute.. this WAS America by god!

[@NeilThompson30]

September 1929

[@Dannys998877]

I wonder where the guitar went after Ernest Tubb's death. It should be used by a great star.....or maybe be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[@PercyShaw81]

was this a tv show?

[@NotHarpoGroucho]

Percy Shaw Sorta, but not really, it was like a weekly show they would play in cinemas, back then having a T.V. was reserved for the rich, than having a coloured T.V. was rich, until recently have a flatscreen T.V. was for the rich, now have a 4k Smart T.V. is for the rich.

[@PercyShaw81]

lol thanks for the info! and the humorous social commentary :)

[@adamlounsbery6256]

No one had a TV when this was made, because Jimmie Rodgers died in 1933. By the early to mid 1950s lots of households had TV, but only a few had color TV, and most shows weren't broadcast in color anyway. TV technology existed when this was shot, but not for consumers. World War II put the brakes on production of luxury consumer goods. After the war, though, TV started appearing in lots of bars in the late 40s, mostly showing boxing, professional wrestling, and old westerns.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Which movie is this clip from?

[@hallabalooza]

hehe on his guitar neck he's got his name if you look closer

[@N1RV4NA87]

Can someone get me the guitar chords for me ?!

[@charlesjenkins615]

Didn't call him the singing brakeman for nothing!!

[@1973slimshady1973]

Hi there!

[@TungstenKid]

Jimmy's dad sounds okay, mine was a little shit!

[@Jeb943]

My dad could sing Jimmy Rodgers. Could Yodel too.

[@1973slimshady1973]

R.i.P DADDY i forgive you for never being there im so sry you had to die by gun shots i hope i make you proud

[@docsavage98]

Really? I thought Ernest Tubb donated it to the Hall of Fame. Oh well, learn something new every day :)

[@dhaeze]

@TheStormtrooper94 music back then blablablaaa... There are still a lot of good artists today you just have to know where to look. Look further than radio and TV. Stop being so narrowminded
