I have loved this song for almost 40 years. Never listened too much to country western, but this song ( Doc Watson version) captured my attention. I like this Doc Watson version.
I'm originally from Boone, NC which is in Watauga County. Doc Watson grew up in Deep Gap which is in the Eastern part of Watuaga County. I grew up listening to this song myself. His extended family is spread throughout the County and one of them actually used to mow my Mom's yard! We have a very active musical culture in this part of the Blue Ridge mountains and you will frequently find people getting together for almost any occasion and after the meals pulling out their instruments and jamming and singing! Maybe even a little dancing might be going on as well TOO 😜! We know how to have our own kinds of fun for sure!
Never can we get enough of ol' Doc!
Brings it all back to me
What a fantastic storyteller hiding underneath a lethal six string picker,how can anyone not just love doc
Agreed! I'm glad he decided to cover this old Jimmy Driftwood song!
Excellent cover of this Jimmy Driftwood song! I also love the original Jimmy Driftwood version, and the Eddy Arnold version.
I have the original on the LP Album "Will the circle be unbroken" brought the family up singing it all the way home in the car. So many memories.
That's an excellent cover of the song!

That's super cool! I'm glad Doc Watson covered this song, giving it a wider audience like that!

Gordon Lightfoot did a great cover of this song!

I like Doc by himself too much going on in the recording too busy.
