Porter Wagoner - A Satisfied Mind

[@curvedvector]

Your health is your wealth.

[@MrConrad1950]

I loved watching and listening to Porter and Dolly, a Missouri Boy that made it big in Nashville. Very proud.

[@frankchilds9848]

This is when country music was really heartfelt and had meaning.

[@Sam-mu5xh]

It's called soul and talent

[@eileenhudson4934]

One of the first country songs I heard(on his show). Loved this song .Porter 2:13 Wagoner also (1964)RIP....

[@AccordionJoe1]

One of the best songs of any genre of all time.

[@davewelch4003]

my father used to sing this song all the time on the job when I work with him as a kid. He sang it so much, I learn the words without ever hearing the song played

[@Contact_Info]

Its a good song

[@justpeachy9619]

That's beautiful! 😊

[@XXXshheilaXXX]

My dad always played this and other Porter song and I'd sit right across from him and listen to him so when he passed he said I get his guitar

[@XXXshheilaXXX]

My dadnplyed guitar and sang it to me too

[@masterofmanythings1]

so hard to find, one rich man in ten with a satisfied mind....#Truth

[@josephstewart2827]

I loved the Porter Wagoner Show , he was a great performer despite the competition during that era but He had a Satisfied Mind , Country Music Hall of Famer

[@dannyblack3814]

Great music, we have lost so many of our greatest country music stars , country will never be the same.

[@abigailpmm1182]

Those suits. I always just loved this man.

[@brucedunn7083]

Was so underated!! The more i listen the more i like him.

[@mosrite60]

Basic country music from the 50's. Pure and simple the way it should always be

[@toyman81]

1955, Stayed at #1 for a while, Listen to the words, It is so true. Especially these days. Oh the GREED!!

[@matthewgordon9757]

I just got back from Nashville today. Went to see a show last night, but also wanted to stop by Porter's grave. I discovered his music maybe four years ago by accident, and I experienced a connection with him and his songs and his voice that I still can't explain. I found his grave marker, and felt compelled to sing this song there. I had already started weeping. It's been a cold, dark couple of days, sun starts going down at five and overcast all weekend. A few seconds after I start singing, the sun shoots out bright and warm on my right shoulder through the clouds for the first time that weekend, sunbeams all around, like a hand on my shoulder. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[@farmalmta]

Moldboard plowing a field late at night in 1980 with an IH 1086, dual rear wheels on the unplowed side and one wheel only on the furrow side, turboed engine wound up, new plowed earth scenting the cool night air sweet as can be, a bite-off of Union Standard plug tobacco in my cheek to stay alert, stars and moon out and shining bright... I turned off the tractor lights while continuing to plow and communed with God while this song played. THAT... for me was the lifetime moment of wholebeing referred to by Abraham Maslow as Self-Actualization at the peak of the Heirachy of Needs. And I was just 17.

[@dmeadows555]

God is love and God is light.

[@roberthenderson3217]

Real, authentic country music

[@bennieiv]

what a world it would be if we could all live by this song.

[@richardskola3570]

Many years ago, someone changed a few words in this song. I do not remember if it was recorded, or a live performance. This: Money can't buy back Your youth when you're old Or a friend when you're lonely Or a love that's grown cold. Became this: Money can't buy back Your health when it's gone Or a friend when you're lonely Or a love that's grown cold. I had never given it much thought until a man that I knew, a self-made billionaire, was facing the last days of his turn on Earth. His money could not buy back his health when it was gone. A satisfied mind is a solid truth. Along with that, develop an attitude of gratitude. Consider another old song, Count your many blessings, name them one by one. Attitude makes a huge difference in our lives.

[@marieelena3537]

I often come back and listen to this.... Brings back memories of riding in momma's Ford Fairlane, her and Aunt Bea singing along, harmonizing as we zip through the country....

[@earlslot8320]

the good old day's

[@softailspringer9915]

[@Crlpope]

But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time I'll leave this ol' world with a satisfied mind thank you Jesus my Lord.

From Renville, Minnesota, I used to get WSM Nashville, Tennessee on AM radio on 2nd floor. I remember Minni Pearle, Kitty Wells etc. also. Today it is hard to get a radio station 100 miles away.

[@kathymiller9275]

I love Porter ❤❤❤ Wagoner

[@fredwoods3558]

Porter Wagoner. This man could have easily got a swollen head. With all his talent and his friends. Instead he was genuine and loving of all. He dressed special for every show. Not to show off but he felt that the fans deserved that. He won the hearts of all his friends and fans.

[@JMarinelli]

Nothing but respect.

[@larrywilkins5583]

Porter Wagoner was a great Stylist. You could always recognize a Porter song. One of my all time favorites!!!

[@shirleyhughes8425]

Rest in peace Porter sure miss you❤❤

[@1974F2]

I remember my grandpa asking me if I knew this song years ago when we were working on his farm and I finally looked it up. I miss the days I enjoyed working with him.

[@farmalmta]

Porter was meaning that a satisfied mind happens when you have a Ford F-250 High Boy, I'm pretty sure. ;)

[@overratedprogrammer]

Working on my pap's farm seems like another lifetime ago and another world

[@virginiadaniel5090]

How True

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

Perfect pedal steel playing. So sweet.

[@jimdixon3470]

Interestingly there seems to be an off camera steel player who fills in at times with a twangier approach. Not sure why they arranged it that way, but lots of good steel all around.

[@davidkellymitchell4747]

Such a great song! I loved to hear Porter sing it on his TV show.

[@marrianner.1682]

During the past years of my life, I would have not chosen to listen to Porter. But I discovered now....that I like him!

[@cartersmith9859]

This is one of my favorite songs and of course Porter was always great.

[@toniweber3901]

Der Text ist zeitlos wahr und schön and P. Wagoner was a great countrysinger.

[@normanfeinberg9968]

It was tough to be young then,but I met some really fine people in the service and I learned real humility,which I never forgot.When your young you just don't think life can end so abruptly,which it did in many cases.Yes the music said it for us who lived through those years.thanks for the memories.

[@dannyblack3814]

Love Porter,s music , real country music

[@shellacandvinylarchive3370]

Excellent steel guitar work from Don Warden. Great version of this song - thanks for uploading this.

[@MrChaney4]

Living close to Nashville, I saw Porter many times at the Grand Ole Opry. He was so funny and almost ribald. And, he always sang so wonderfully. I miss this ole boy.

[@tracer28583]

Met porter once but he was a very sweet man he will be sadly missed

[@mosrite60]

listen to words , when you get old you understand, and its too late

[@philholloway4424]

I'm only 50 and I get it...

[@misterthompsonsneighborhood]

I was 25 when I first heard this song, and I reflected on it a lot ever since, and decided to make my life's decisions with this wisdom in mind. There's a sort of Zen to the old country ethic that is really lost in modern country music.

[@senaer]

It's never too late!

Really wonderful performance. I think The Byrds did this, many years later. As amazing as they were, I'm sure they'd agree, no one holds a candle to Mr. Wagoner.

[@michele-33]

Found this song in the King Henry 8th. bar in Casablanca, North Africa in 1956. Tried to buy the record. No way. Tried to buy the jutebox. No way. So my buddies & I wore the song out. Must have drank 25 cases of beer. Loved that song ever since.

[@jeffkiss78]

these musicians were so talented, classic country

[@normanleach5427]

At 80+ years old the last song on his last album, (within an interview), features an acoustic version of the old Hank Williams' "Lonesome Whistle Blow" which was a front and center hit on Porter's empathic theme album about prison life.

[@Senkino5o]

So sad... And I've been talking about this in bible study... So many make such worldly comments, they praise the singer and ignore what he's singing. And so, they miss a great blessing, I guess this's what our Lord spoke of when He said "Cast not ye your pearls before swine", when you do this are you not carnal? Here brethren, this is where it comes from: Proverbs 30:7-9: 7: Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: 8 remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; 9 feed me with food convenient for me: lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

[@daves543]

You can't disregard the singer and the music that bring forth the message. (The Lord was remembered as well as what he said.) There needs to be a bearer of the message whether it's the Lord or us. Remember God was in Christ .......... and hath committed unto us the word of reconcillation..... That "us" means people are going to recognize us as well as the words we say and how we say them. And the words have been said very well here. Who knows how the hearers will receive those words? That's up to the hearers to get blessed by the words or not.

[@Senkino5o]

Dave Seace Well, no, not really, sure God was in Christ He was and IS Christ, furthermore if I don't magnify Jesus, then them recognizing me is getting in the way, I need to stand aside so they see Him clearly, also the Holy Ghost does the blessing, how will a man bless himself? God bless you.

[@daves543]

Eli Jackson Are you kidding me? Why study the Bible if you aren't going to share it with any one except your Bible study group? In your Bible study you should try reading and saying what the word says and not add to it. The word says Jesus was the son of God .... not God the son. The point I was trying to make is that we need to share the rightly divided word of God. If we don't many people will never even know that there is a Holy Ghost. Like ...... Act 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. How did they receive the Holy Ghost? By being baptized in water? NO......study that for a while if you can study it without any preconceived ideas that have been drilled into you head by the organized denomination to which you belong. Sorry for the kind of off topic comments. Great song (whatever it means to you). And great musical talent/ This is real country music.

[@trustinginthewordoftruth4036]

Thank you for sharing that passage from the word of God; it has blessed me to read it today, over three years since it was posted.

Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? And how were you baptized?

Aug 12, 1927 - Porter Wagoner is born in Howell County, Missouri. Known for his rhinestone suits, he develops a long-running syndicated TV show in which he introduces Dolly Parton as a duet partner. A member of the Grand Ole Opry beginning in 1957, he joins the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2002.
