Thank God for KZbin. We can still hear real country music.

[@carrolltucker]

Yes, well said!!!

[@mariaherrera846]

I’m Mexican American, when I first heard this song back as a child I had no clue what was being said. As I grew up I learned English but lost track of this gem. Later as an adult I became a professional DJ and had this song requested by a client. It was a dream come true to finally hear and understand this classic song and the name of it. Still makes me teary eyed but now I understand why.

[@chrisroberts4017]

I wish there were more Tejano/Mexican American country artists like Johnny Rodriguez, Freddy Fender and Rick Trevino. That is a country genre I like but not that many artists sing it

[@skatergirl1759]

@@chrisroberts4017 do you know any artists of this genre?

[@3637061]

You know you're getting old, when all the good country artists are gone. Porter, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, George Jones,etc. Thank God, we have their recordings.

[@712Liberal]

Porter Wagoner is and always will be one of country music`s Greats

[@jimf2842]

It was around late March 1968. I was laying in my bunk and this song came on the radio and as I listened I was overwhelmed with the feeling I would never see home again alive. It was my second month in Nam and as a young inexperienced platoon leader the pressure and fear I would let people down was even greater than my fear of death.I broke down and silently cried in the night and let it all go. Things got better after that, I resigned to my fate and determined I would do what had to be done and concentrate on my duties and responsibilities instead of my fears. It's been over 47 years since I first heard that song but it still brings back strong memories of crying in the dark and feeling so overwhelmed...

[@lanceuppercut6168]

Sometimes it's like Johnnie Ray said and you'll feel better if you cry. Congrats on your accomplishments good sirs :D

[@sammymartin8390]

Jim F thank you for your service

[@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3]

Yeah, the service that involves being in countries you have no reason to be in to fight a war for oil that old rich men started decades ago in the middle east. Thanks so much for keeping american luxuries in check at the price of your lives.

[@petiteme1960]

Go away troll. You are what is wrong with this country.

[@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3]

petiteme1960 Fuck you peasant I serve this country. I'm just not delusional enough to think dying for the illusion of fighting communism or fighting for oil in the desert hell holes is a cause I can rightfully stand by. I'm not blinded by patriotism. Think for yourself. We cut our baby boys in a country that pretends to be about freedoms and liberties. How blinded American can be will be the downfall of the nation.

That was 49 years ago. Wish I could go back to those years. Porter is one of the greatest men who ever lived. Good singer, entertainer and a wonderful man and person. I wish he was still here with us and still singing those beautiful heart-felt songs. This one in particular will cut your heart out, it is so sad. But love it all the same. That is why his songs are so loved.

[@Teenywebsta]

Listening to Porter always makes me miss my Daddy. He loved him and Dolly.

[@lcstandrie]

Porter was one of the true gentlemen of country music. He had one of the best group of musicians to back him and Buck Trent should be in every instrumental hall of fame for his work on guitar and banjo behind Porter. Max McGehee was a tremendous fiddler and the steel player was one of the best also. Porter gave Dolly her big break and also Norma Jean.

[@amy0322as]

One of the best memories of my life is singing my daddy's songs. He's a formidable man and all our kids will love him to pieces

[@thelmasmith2494]

Justin Gammon good song

[@larrypetry8700]

Justin Gammon yes i did

[@beverlymccollum8861]

The thing that is missing today is we don't get to know the personalities or get to know the singers. More attention , like you said, is paid to stage effects or the camera man swoops down and around so we can't even see the people very much. Seems like everything we ever used to enjoy has been ruined . But at least we can enjoy this and our memories.

[@mankind2112]

Mercy Sakes!, they don't make it this good anymore - I loved Porters style, always lookin' good for the camera. Todays country music sucks because non of these people ever starved before.

[@reginagardner9423]

I was raised up listening to this music and I love it

[@2000toddowen]

Some are best live and some are best in the studio. Porter Wagoner excelled in this format with his weekly show. A little bit of both. That look in his eye as he speaks the narrative. There's no questioning his genuineness with his spontaneity. The man is just a darned good old boy.

[@michaelford549]

Still listening to this man for Wagner October 21st 2019 boy it sure sounds good he talked about the Green Green Grass of Home traditional country music is this that I listen to it every day God bless Porter thank you for all the good music that you played and still listening today

Many years ago I first heard this song, and it was Porter who sang it. I really liked it, but never heard it that often until suddenly numerous artists sang and recorded it as well. While there are many different recordings, I still think Porter Wagoner sang it the best.

[@wrotenwasp]

Wow, what the hell happened to country music? This is the real deal. Lyrics that actually tell a story, great guitar, fiddle playing and they're all dressed in style. Country artists had a little more class back then compared to this freak show they call country today.

[@Tinarita]

Spot on! I grew up with this kind of country and the “stars” of country music were not interested in the LA lifestyle and the women were modest. Now we’ve got “Jelly Roll.” I win never consider him a country artist and I will not listen to any of the ones who mingle with Hollywood. That’s not country!

[@ValerieEhrlich-h1i]

Country music has become country rock pretty much like what Credence was to rock and roll. Now there is nothing wrong with country rock in my opinion but I think we have forgotten about traditional country music. Country music needs to get back to the mother church which is the Rhineman auditorium home of WSM Grand Ole opry and get back to the more traditional artists and by the way Beyonce is not country music.!!!!!! The women of country music like Patsy a d Loretta would kick her rear off the stage

[@ValerieEhrlich-h1i]
