Lyric:
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
[ piano ]
I belong to another whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever to have and to hold
I can never be free dear but when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the will to be true
Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you but darling I do
Please help me I'm falling in love with you

The woman who wrote this song (in poem form) entered it into a local radio station contest in Oklahoma. She did not put her name on it. The poem won but no one knew the author and she was just fine with that. But her kids knew😁 and it became public domain. It was turned into a country music hit. Her name was Nora Brey. I am her great granddaughter. There are 4 of us left in her family, and every time we hear that song, we remember her cute sly little smile.
This is my Great Grandfather, only ever met him once. My grandmother favored him so much, I can almost see her in him.
You're Hank Locklin's Great Grandson??? Wow! Wish I could shake your hand. As I've just posted on another YT video of this, I grew up with this song from being a baby, & so it's such a part of my life - always reminds me of being a little kid.
Consider this the closest thing the internet gets to a handshake... :-D
Wow! This is my Great Uncle! I sadly only met him once as well. My dad and him were very close.
my old friends great grandpa as well, you'd probably know him
@@Scunthorpesfinest Wow.
Grew up on this song!
Shane R Be proud baby!
This song is still famous here in Indonesia, many elders used to play this song including my Grandma.
WOW. that’s So Cool … Indonesian People Rock !
yes i just saw it on tiktok from a thai elder it was amazing
Betul broo
Love corrina
This guy hit every note perfectly and sang his song true to the recordings. This doesn't seem to exist nowadays... thumbs up for all of that.
I love this song. I find myself singing it all the time for no reason other than my grandparents and parents played it when I was a child. I wish country music was like this again. I hate Hillbilly rock or whatever they are calling it now.
What a country song should be !!!
some people don't know what real music is,an can't appreciate it!!!this is when music was REAL!!!!and this was long before my time !!!!;)
I agree I wish this world would make great songs like this
Blah, blah blah.
Love this song brings back memories 2021
Love this song brings back memories 2021i am listening to this song
Eh just learn how to find the good stuff in any genre and any time. If you like this you might like Les Blackwell or Adrianne Lenker. Being stuck in the past and complaining about instead of embracing the new good ones is gonna keep pushing new good music into the underground.
Again I recommend Adrianne Lenker (try Sadness As A Gift) or Les Blackwell (try Workin For Fools Gold). Both are good folk artists of today's time.
The great Hank Locklin reminding us what real Country Music was and we've another great Country legend here ---- Flloyd Kramer with his inimitable style on piano. Fantastic.
according to hank...co writer don Robertson and chet atkins played on the demo...don was the first to use the slip note in that demo and they asked Cramer to copy it on the recording.
@@davediamond7228
Floyd copied Don Robertson's slip note style and made it his own. He is now a legend and one has only got to hear the first few notes to recognize Floyd Cramer as the pianist

I'm under 16 years old right now and this song makes me missed the time when I wasn't born yet:(
Same here, on every detail
Great Goldly Oldie ! Now that's country.
now this is great music I wished country music was like this now.
really, I really do love this music!

@@robertsharp3173 yes not the same
ONE OF THE BEST OLD TIME COUNTRY SINGERS1
This is country Music ! Who is listen in 2018
Isn't it wonderful to see the 2 million views? Makes you think someone else loves breathtaking country music as well as yourself..
#1 for 14 weeks in 1960 and the third biggest song of the entire decade.
Now that's a hit!
This is country music that I grew up listening to....
Me too
we don't hav this kind of music anymore buddy
Same here
Kudos for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you researched - Saankramer Love Trick System (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great one of a kind product for falling in love with an amazing partner minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work colleague at very last got excellent success with it.
Im falling in love but not cheating just the wrong person
My Late mother’s BDAY is on Friday Aug 27 th
I grew up listening to her hum this around the house while she was cleaning. I So Love You Ma Ma.
Hello 👋 Dear. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I’m Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
As a kid, I remember my grandparents listening to this song ( on a 45) ---liked it then and like it now, albeit I'm a rocker---🤷♀️🙋
As a truck driver.. I like how the guitar changes gears.. especially when Hank puts it down into "Low Gear"... the miles just sail by...
love these old country classics, the stuff the do no not just ain't country
I well remember when this record shot up the country charts and crossed over to the pop charts. A unforgettable
able song sung to perfection by a pure country artist who also happened technically to be impeccable. How can anyone not love this music which never grows old?
Wayne Brasler the young people today reckon it's not cool. They prefer to listen to something that we older people cannot understand a word.
Jim Reeves frauline
Denis Roberts which young people are you referring to? I'm 24 and like this music! my favourite has got to be Elvis presley
Wayne Brasler im 21 and absolutely love this music. i grew up on it. i wish i could have been born in that time era. but unfortunately i grew up in the wrong generation.
This takes me back to early childhood hearing this on the am radio at Grandmas.
Oh my goodness! Right? It's a great feeling, friend 😊
One of the most beautiful Country songs ever recorded by The Great Hank Locklin a top selling single and a gold disc for him to
1962 the year my wife and i got married, still together
Bless u both ♥️
I envy you.
@@trinibee09 thank you

Great
Great music, This IS what country music is. The band I was in did this song. R.I.P. Hank
awesome! old country like this never dies! it just get better. I really love it
[Chorus]
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
[Verse]
I belong to another whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever to have and to hold
I can never be free dear but when I'm with you

Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you but darling I do
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
I have always loved this song… Locklin had such a distinctive voice and delivery. And I DO believe that's Floyd Cramer on the ivorys… another legend.
Floyd "invented" the slip note.
This is a great song.
Yes Floyd Cramer and Pete Drake playing pedal steel .
He received a "Beatles" type reception at airport/hotels in Ireland around this time.
I'm 14 and watching this in September 2016
เพลงเค้าฟังได้แบบสบายใจ👍👍👍
Yog Sothoth yes
why do people who appear not to like this music post adverse comments are they so lonely they want feedback this is top class country and has been for many years hank was top of tree in his time &his version of this is still the best bar none
Love the old country
Still got recordings of my dad banging this out in the kitchen from when I was about 5. Incredible music!
What a fantastic treasure RUclips is! To be able to revisit the past like this and hear these great songs and singers live again. Well done superb quality video. Many thanks took me back through a lot of years!
And of course there's the KING: ruclips.net/video/ZFBxqLzNIzc/видео.html

At the house my dad would sit in his recliner and listen to this on an old 8-track player and would sing along I can almost hear my dad still singing it 😔
Hello 👋 how are you
Immortal Voice❤❤
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
My mom made me play the record over and over until I had all the words. She loved this soooo much. RIP mom!
Hello 👋 Mary. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I’m Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
LOVE this old song. Brings back memories of my years in the Navy. Isn't that Floyd Cramer on piano? He is another who brings back memories from his own songs.
Yep, Floyd Cramer doing slip note piano for the first time on a country hit
Is that the "Last Date " man??
@@tomgreene1843 Yes. He and the Anita Kerr Singers backed up many singers in Nashville during that era. All were very talented. Floyd Cramer also made his own recordings, and so did the Anita Kerr Singers, both under their name and under the name The Little Dippers. In the late 1960's, Anita Kerr and the San Sebastian Strings backed Rod McKuen's poetry recordings on "The Sea," "The Earth," and "The Sky."
@@mrmusiclover4178 Thanks for that ...they could play back then.
THIS SONG WILL NEVER GET TO OLD [ SOUNDS GREAT EVERY TIME I HEAR IT . ]
YOUR RIGHT THERE RAY AND 131 DONT LIKE IT

Yes Betty, alot of todays so called country music doesn't come close.
Listening to this reminds me of my father on Sunday mornings, when he played his records!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this. 🙏
Wonderful song, real country music, heartfelt singing, What more can I say?
Quite possibly my favorite country song ever. Could Hank sing! And the piano adds a great accent to the whole thing. Country is truly God's music. RIP Hank.
this man had a very special voice, genuine tenor
Such a classic. I was 6 when I first heard the song and never looked back.
Love this song and him. Reminds me of my dad and his love of traditional country music
Hello how are you doing
Have been listening for over 30+ years... now it's Part of my iPod collection. Love the song.
I love this song! I heard it on an infomercial about country jukebox hits on tv. :)
I saw the new Apple Iphone ad on tv yesterday featuring Kitty Wells singing her old great hit song Searching, so now I'm playing all the great country music artists of the past! Didn't know how much I missed this music! Thanks Apple, your new ad is genius!
You can go on to RUclips and find just about anyone you want to listen too..Even these classics

Great to see so many young fans of old fashioned country. You can't keep a good song down. Many thanks for this post.

Hello how are you doing today 😊😊
Hank came up with the BEST pickup line.😎😎😋😋
The amount of talent in 2 minutes is insane.
Hello friend, how are you doing today? ?
Thank you so much...first time for me, a yokel. Just unbelievable that I'm getting to hear the songs I'd heard in my younger days...
Hello 👋 Jim. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I’m Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
@@markclifford1857
Jim is not a girl!
I just had to listen to him. I always loved him singing this.
My heart is breaking every time I hear this version.
Love this version, hearing and seeing Hank do it live is pure joy 😂
Don't forget Floyd Cramer on the piano a legend in his own right.
I love his plaintive tones. Hank Locklin was underappreciated.
Great song!
Hello how are you doing
As a young fellow this was the music I listened to and loved and it has stayed that way ever since. We listened to the American Forces Network on an old Battery Radio here in Ireland as it was the only way we could get to hear real country. Hank Locklin would have been one of my favorites.
Hello 👋 Eddie. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I’m Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
One Beautiful Country Song !
I can say as a truck driver I have put many an enjoyable mile behind me listenistening to this great song. The bass guitar is awesome too if you listen for it.
A true classic and a great song frozen in time !!!!!!!!!!!!
Now a day, they don't make this music like in the old day. This is the reason why I don't listen to music today, except in the old day.
@manbehindthescreen1 Why would anyone waste their time if they don't like? I grew up on Hank Locklins music; love it. Thanks for sharing, and, for being polite to an impolite.
A lovely country song...
thankyou i remember this song as a child
I really enjoy listening oldies on RUclips. Thanks for making this possible. Great oldie.
I;ll never forget this song in basic training at Fort Dix in the summer of 1960!
I liked this song very much in my young days
Great classic country, Hank did it so well, with so many hits. Thank you Hank.
One of the best❤❤❤❤
Hello how are you doing today 😊😊
Thanks Hank a great song !!!
I sure do miss seeing these great artists on our black and white tv on saturday night. Thank you very much for sharing it!
Very beautiful song and voice

Wonderful. Thanks so much. He just passed in 2009.
I just love listening to those old songs
