The Browns - I Heard The Bluebirds Sing [1956].

[@TorkG8]

"I met a girl out in the hills who gave my lonely heart a thrill Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring And when I looked into her eyes I thought of bluest summer skies And when I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing They sang of wondering (Wondering if you love her) Will she marry (Marry if you'll ask her) Will her heart be (Heart be true for him for) then and evermore And when she's lonely (Lonely is he near her) When there's sadness (Sadness will he cheer her) Will they always (Always be together) until in death they part I courted her for months on end until she promised we would wed We planned on being married in the spring All through the long cold winter months it seemed that spring would never come And every gloomy winter day I heard the bluebirds sing They sang of waiting (Waiting for the flowers) And of counting (Counting every hour) Till the bluebird (Bluebird chirps his welcome) into the world once more And though we're waiting (Waiting for the sunshine) We keep hating (Hating every storm cloud) That has gathered (Gathered o'er the mountain) to keep us far apart And when at last spring touched the earth we were married in the village church Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true So many years have come and gone our love is still as true and strong As when I found it long ago... and still the bluebirds sing They sang of loving (Loving every hour) that I'm married (Married to my flower) We'll be happy (Happy ever after) as since the day we met And though we're older (Older love is sweeter) we grow fonder (Fonder of each other) We'll be sweethearts (Sweethearts close together) until the end of time...

Love this song. The Irish father and daughter duo Hugh P and Maria have an excellent version as well. I highly recommend giving it a listen

[@MeMaX6]

My moms favorite song ♥️♥️

[@michaelcolgrave4184]

I agree totally with reealitychic ,what wonderful harmonies they had and how fortunate I am to have a great library of this music to listen to ,because unfortunately we will never hear this music from today's so called country singers

My parents used to sing this song a lot. I knew all the words to this song before I started school in the first grade. That was 1961. I love this song as much now as I did then.

[@FamilyTimeDorisnanaHall]

hey thanks for sharing this old song and playing it for us we would like to share our songs all in the family singers thanks so much and thumbs up.. alwayslove jim ed brown.

[@izleroybrown]

this is the first song I heard on the new RCA 45 rpm record player in spring 1956. what a relief from the old 78rpm. that had been around since the 20's . Aloha

[@salisiharmony]

My dad would sometimes go off in a room and play his guitar and sing. He always had his back to the door, so I would quietly stay outside the door stand and listen. This was one of his songs. Never heard the recording nor realized it was a two people song until now.

[@lindahadland5942]

What such beautiful singers, comforting to know this song was being sung by these singers the year I was born 🤗 rich clear voices like Angels. ❤️❤️❤️

[@eric21200]

This folks, is REAL country music. And this came out about 30 years before I was born.

Jim Ed and his sisters were so good. Thanks for sharing this. It was one of my Mom's favorites.

[@goplad1]

The great Chet Atkins playing lead guitar! He often sat in to play guitar on the records he produced.

[@jennifursun3303]

wondered who that was, but recognize his style on the solo. wonder who played fiddle

[@bobharris7046]

jennifur sun -Tommy Jackson Jr. played fiddle.

[@jennifursun3303]

thanks so much

[@sharongeall229]

This is one of my all time favourites of Jim Ed and the girls!! Love, love this song as well as "I was looking back to see, if you were looking back at me".

[@KenCarsonTribute]

I love this one. :D

[@kcs764]

My wife and I have been married 59 years today.....this was one of two "courting" songs (the other being Devoted to You by the Everly Brothers)....... wonderful memories!

[@bobharris7046]

Great song from 1956.

[@PamaRonaRanch]

This song was still quite popular when we were married on this March 27 spring day in 1964. A blue-eyed sixteen year old married a determined 19 year old 52 years ago today. It was always "our song". And though "we grow older, we grow fonder of each other"... "And we'll be close together until in death we part". Until then, "I'm loving every hour that I'm married to my flower"...

[@packingten]

PamaRonaRanch. Hope your always together..

[@reealitychick]

pAMA---- that is such a beautiful story and great hope for many who still believe in true love and the sacredness of marriage.. God Bless you and many more wonderful adventurous years to come. Thank you . THis is 2019 -- how are you doing??

[@anthonybelcher8569]

Awesome song

[@johnkeefer3776]

We enjoyed this song as we dated and now it has been 50 wonderful years that we've been married on June 6, 1970.

[@johnkeefer3776]

I gave a 45 single of this song to my sweetheart when we dated some 47 years ago. It still gives us a thrill to hear it sung by the "Browns".

[@johnkeefer3776]

We soon will celebrate 50 years of the Lord's blessing being together and still happily married to each other.

[@mathewfines8727]

That's just lovely and beautiful to hear!

[@northerntraveller3180]

I was only nine when it came out.

[@robcummings4491]

Great song created in the early 1950s by my Alberta ranch friend, Hod Pharis. Also check out Hod's 'Call of The Mountain' and his album 'The Plainsman'. Hod Pharis passed away in 2001. His spirit live on this and other great songs he penned. - Rob Cummings

[@lawrennyalau2821]

I met a girl out in the hills Who gave my lonely heart a thrill Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring And when I looked into her eyes I thought of blue mid summer skies And when I held her hand in mine I heard the Bluebirds sing. They sang of wondering (wondering if you love her) Will she marry (marry if you ask her) Will her heart beat (heart beat for him or for) Them and ever more And when she's lonely (lonely is he near her) When there's sadness (sadness will he cheer her) Will they always (always be together) Until in death they part. I courted her for months on end Until she promised we would be wed We planned on being married in the spring All through the long cold winter months It seemed that spring would never come And every gloomy winter's day I heard the Bluebirds sing. They sang of waiting (waiting for the flowers) And of counting (counting every hour) Till the Bluebird (Bluebird brings his welcome) Into the world once more. And though we're waiting (waiting for the sunshine) We keep hating (hating every storm cloud) That has gathered (gathered on the mountain) To keep us far apart. --- Instrumental --- And when at last spring touched the earth We were married in the village church Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true So many years have come and gone Our love is still as true and strong As when I found her long ago And still the Bluebirds sing. They sang of loving (loving every hour) That I'm married (married to my flower) We'll be happy (happy ever after) As since the day we met. And though we're older (older love is sweeter) We grow fonder (fonder of each other) We'll be sweethearts (sweethearts close together) Until the end of time...

never heard this before. Great harmonizing and lyrics. 1950s I assume.

wow such harmony

[@shirleypena4133]

Eleven people have sadly never heard the Bluebirds sing. :'(

[@javiermonteagudo6085]

Es como intentar imitar al Duke en un Western. Es casi imposible. El mejor pistolero y el gran galán del Far West por el que suspiran todas las cabareteras y putas de Saloon. Solamente con su presencia también es capaz de llevarse a la cama a la vaquera que le apetezca. La escena de Valor de Ley disparando con el Winchester a caballo sujetando riendas con boca. Y la escena a galope con la carreta de caballo para salvar a Ms. GoodNight son absolutamente memorables. Difícil de superar.

[@jennifursun3303]

wonder who played the lead guitar on this song?

[@bobharris7046]
