I’m 57 and my mom just passed. My mom had a beautiful voice and I can still hear her sing this to me when I was little❤

My nana used to sing this to me when I was a little girl in the 1970’s ❤

Happy Spring 2024! I was born in the late fall of 1978 in Central Kentucky and grew up in Northen Kentucky. I first heard this classic, wonderful song when I was just two and a half! I loved this song then and I still love it now! The Sky is a Beautiful Clear Blue today! The Sun is Shining today!

[@PaulMcElveen]

I love this song! I was born in 1978! A dear friend gave me the 1958 recording that belonged to her daughter and some of her other daughter's children's records! Her daughter didn't want them!

Happy Good Friday 2024! Splendid Song!

My grandmother and mom used to sing this to me when I was little to go to bed! I didn’t know where it came from until tonight and this is such a sweet piece of nostalgia for me 🖤💚 I sing it casually now

My mum used to sing this to me when I was a child in the late 50's early 60's, I loved it. Mum passed away mid 1980's Very recently, Jan 2023 I was sitting in living room and I could smell cigarette smoke. This happened several times a day over several days, but I thought nothing of it. Mum was a smoker. A day or two later am washing crockery in my kitchen when suddenly this song comes into my head! All day its swirling around my head and I start thinking about mum. Then I remember the cigarette smoke. So I phone my elder sister and tell her of my experience, she laughs and I ask her why she is laughing, she told me....."the same thing happened to me the other day" coincidence?????????

[@jonthompson3315]

Going through my head today too...mom passed 3 years ago today and I remember her singing it to me....youngest of five and all the older sibs were in school, had her all to myself. Missing her but this makes me smile today

Bit late l know...but just goes to show there is more to this life and after...l believe this ...peace and happy Christmas 😊✌️

I was born quite recently but this gives me so many memories of my childhood personally, my mother would sing this to me every night before I went to bed, along with mull of kintire. It reminds me of the times it was all so simple without grief and loss and sadness. I am so glad this song is still on KZbin.

I have the teddy bear my mother's sister gave me 70 years ago. Very special. Made by the Knickerbocher co..

I happened on this following a fleeting memory from my childhood and thought I'd have a look. And gee! Here it is - my very first ever record - yeah, I know. I was what? - 2-3 years old (I'm now 60) and my mum played this multi coloured single that kind of hypnotised me as it spun around and around on the turntable. The sixties were indeed days of psychedelia and this record certainly lived up to that. It was like a multi-coloured daubed pattern. Along with this there was also Red River Valley - She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain on (bubble gum) pink plastic. Not sure now if we were not being groomed or softened up ahead of the likes of Marc Bolan or Pink Floyd. But yes - this visit brought some fond memories back, so many thanks for the upload.

I have sang this to all ove my babies oldest is 18 and the baby is 4 .. They have all liked it but my youngest truly to a shine to it! Had no idea it was such a classic and has aged so beautifully

[@mikewentzel197]

I'm 37 and this was my first record. I played it all the time and just stumbled on it again now. Reminds me of a time when things were so simple and great. As an adult now it's a much different story

I was having a rummage through my old primary school mementos and found my old school shirt from leaving day, signed by my classmates and one name in particular reminded me of the time she performed this song acapella in front of the class. That was about 32 years ago and I realized I'd never heard the actual song, so I searched and ended up here. It's definitely the same song although I'm sure she sang "got no worries, got no cares" so maybe there are alternate versions out there by other artists.

[@Briardie]

Same as Big Jim, I remember this from my childhood I was born in 1962. Yes we had single records, all splotches of colours on the vinyl and yes I remember the bubblegum pink too.

[@MsGemini321]

She is so beautiful ..

[@joeblow9931]

My mom used to sing this to me

[@Mojo62]

I hadn’t heard this in years but it was the first record I loved as a child. Thank you for posting this!

[@alankwood]

good memories from times when there was respect..

Teddies Dolls. Jack’s in the box

[@lindapeden3572]

Best version ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MrOldhoot]

Was this the very first recording of this lovely song? I remember mid 50s my beloved Gran giving me a lovely teddy with a proper grunt and moving joints. The bear got passed on to my sister's children of whom there were 4, unfortunately I've no idea what became of him. Would love to be reunited. Hearing this song brought back very strong emotions.

Disneyland 1955

[@missmerrily4830]

Dottie’s is a sweet version but Rosemary Clooney sang the original in 1950. As a real ancient, Rosemary’s is the version I listened to with mum! (I always wondered how tiny singers had to be to fit inside the radio, never mind a whole orchestra!)

[@christopherstilley7756]

lol. I had this record..one of those little colored 45s..sounds like just yesterday..

[@jsdclight]

My mum just sang it to me but im 47 lol some of my friends sang to thier kids the insy winsy one spider i got one i didnt like mrs mary mack mack all dressed in black... it didnt traumatise me its was okay didnt dislike or like... my mum remembered the whole song.
