GOD I AM GETTING OLD I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD WHEN THIS SONG FIRST CAME OUT BUT I LOVE YESTERDAYS COUNTRY MUSIC IT IS WHAT I GREW UP WITH. TODAYS COUNTRY IS WAY FAR FROM WHAT COUNTRY SHOULD BE AS GENE WATSON HAS SHOWED US!
Yes!! I too rember this song as a little girl This was country at its best! I loved Gene Watson he was pure country at its Best! I remember this song very well id sing along with this song! I was raised on country music and country today don't compare to the country i grew up with 😀 i wish country was still like this
I am 18 years old and no one my age listens to music like this, I LOVE it it is ALL I listen to!! I love classic country music! Who else only listens to Classic Country like this????
Gene Watson is up there with the greats. I'm 73/retired...and listened to him when I was in mid-30's running construction crews in Houston. Played him on the job-site boom-box in the day. He helped us keep the pace. I love his life's work as a Country Singer. You Rock Gene!!!
David Knight. I don't know ! He is a PURE Country singer. I saw him in Kentucky a few years ago and he still has it. The ones that can't sing their way out of a wet paper bag, gets All Kind of Awards and elected to the CMHOF. Another Great Country Singer is--Bobby Bare. Not many True Country Singers left. They have passed on.
Country music like this is always about a real life situation and still rings home in today's times you find a woman make sure you can afford it especially if she has a 14 karat mind like most gold diggers
Great song and the question back then as now was what has happened to Country Music. Hey Folks, it's still country and you just have to listen. Chris Young is a strong voice in the Industry with his "Black Dress" song. Lee Brice and Luke Bryan are also have very impressive voices. But, then again what do I know. Bill Monroe, Bob Wills, Hank Williams and Ray Price put me to sleep in my cradle. Today I just listen and enjoy the great sounds of Country Music.
Gene Watson loves what He does ! And That is to SING REAL Country Music and perform ! Love Gene Watson ! !! Since I was 8 years old ! And I’m now 52 years old . What’s that say about Gene Watson?! 👍🏻😬♥️♥️🎶🎶🎶
I think Gene is one of the most underrated yet talented "real country" singers we had! He had some great tunes, "hurting head and a half of pint of wine"; been there done that!
@@sameoldthing4037 Maybe because there was a lot of cheating going on, just like today. Gene never hits a bad note. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
He had a lead guitarist named Danny Rainwater, who played in my Uncle’s band in high school back in the 60’s. He played lead on this song. Great to hear it again
All the so-called country music singers of today (2020) should be forced to listen to people like Gene Watson/Waylon Jennings and Highway 101 ....... just to get a taste of real country music that will last for years instead of a couple of months.
LaVonne McCollam if county music has ever had a better voice. I haven't heard it people like this man paved the road for country music. people like him Gary stewart get lost why country music is a joke any more
I swear to God I wasted almost two years of my life on the girl that Mr. Watson is singing about...Thank you so much for the post and thank God I didn't end up laying by any railroad tracks in Denver...I had enough sense to walk (run) away!
Hargus"Pig"Robbins is 83 today.He never cut records but his piano playing was on about 1 million hits,including this one.The best story i heard about him,was told by Kenny Price,of Hee Haw fame,in a bar.He,a few other country musicians in Nashville, put Pig,who was blind,behind the wheel of a car,with one of them steering;while driving,they got pulled over and the cop wanted to see Pig's drivers license,and when he said he didn't have one the cop asked him why and he told him because he was blind.The cop let them go,after someone else got behind the wheel.Was there alcohol involved?Of course!!!Only in the 1960's.
Too many women like this....took me two go rounds to learn.......couldn't work hard enough or make enough money.... this song reminds me of the old bluegrass song "Big Spike Hammer" . Sierra Hull and the Boxcars sing a great live version of it together, posted on RUclips....
my very song I had ever heard from Gene and fell in love with him after that....hubby didn't like it....oh well, got rid of hubby and kept Gene's albums
That's what i think when i see the fireworks and on stage antics of Today's performers. Yknow it's sad but true, Gene, Haggard , the Possum, and even the great Hank Williams wouldn't stand a chance today.Pop music is good word for it. Cause it sure as hell aint real country music.
I still recall the mornin' that I met you, standing out in front of Wilsons Five and Dime; Staring thru the window at the jewelry, hungry for the things you couldn't buy. Just like a fool I thought that I could please you, I saw you had an eye for things that shine; I paid seven sawmill dollars for a bracelet, Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind. Layin' by these railroad tracks in Denver, with a hurtin' head and a half a pint of wine; Everything except my soul has been surrendered, just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind. The cabin that I built in West Virginia, was not enough to keep you satisfied; 'cause a man that's got a sawmill occupation, can't afford to feed a rich girls appetite. I wonder if you're still with Willie Jackson, sometimes I wonder if he's still alive; Ole' Willie he gave up his wife and children, just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind. Layin' by these railroad tracks in Denver, with a hurtin' head and a half a pint of wine; Everything except my soul has been surrendered, just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind. Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind.
That's Hargus 'Pig' Robbins, one of the mot legendary of the Nashville session players. That rolling piano style is PERFECT for this song. He plays some great stuff on Dave Dudley's 'George And The North Woods,' too. Once you learn to recognize his sound, you'll find find him on HUNDREDS of classic country songs. There's also an interesting little vid on RUclips that's a brief tutorial on how to play his style of piano.
Damn they don't write country songs like this no more. Spent 7 "Sawmill dollars" on a bracelet just to satisfy your 14 carat mind! LOL is she still with Willie Jackson. He gave up his wife and kids for a hot little gold digger. I wonder if ol' Willie still alive, LMAO probably not! Gene Watson's coming to Richmond VA tomorrow night tickets are only $20 a pop got mine can't wait to see the show!
This is a song that is pure country and so good. Gene Watson one of the best I ever listen to in my 72 years.
I like his song Love in the hot afternoon.

This is real country music
You don't get music better than this.
Gene Watson should have been more popular than he was. Awesome singer!
+Tina Trasher I agree.But like Ricky Skaggs he got to preaching to much during his shows.It hurt him in popular country music.
For God's sake, the man had more hits than a toilet seat!! I just saw him last Saturday in Liberty N. C. He is fabulous!!!
He was 42 before he made enough money making music to quit his mechanic job.
Gene Watson loves what He does ! And That is to SING REAL Country Music and perform ! Love Gene Watson ! !! Since I was 8 years old ! And I’m now 52 years old . What’s that say about Gene Watson?! 👍🏻😬♥️♥️🎶🎶🎶

Scott Burger
Yessir very underrated like Gary Stewart for example
@@loveablegurl100 I really liked Gary Stewart too! But nowadays when I listen to the old music I realize it was almost all cheating songs!
Love him still!!!
@@sameoldthing4037 Maybe because there was a lot of cheating going on, just like today. Gene never hits a bad note. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
Another example of good old classic country.
He had a lead guitarist named Danny Rainwater, who played in my Uncle’s band in high school back in the 60’s. He played lead on this song. Great to hear it again
I remember this song playing on the speakers at Gilley's. Awesome country gold.
FOR MY WV PEEP
WHO ARE WITH US HERE
IN WHY❗️
💃🏽
Just heard this on Country Classics, and came here looking for it :)
I love this song!!!❤
All the so-called country music singers of today (2020) should be forced to listen to people like Gene Watson/Waylon Jennings and Highway 101 ....... just to get a taste of real country music that will last for years instead of a couple of months.
I saw him at the Buckboard in Marietta Georgia back in 97 for the first time and I fell in love with his music, and now I can't get enough of him.
Everything but my soul has surrendered just to satisfy your 14 karat mind. I love him u can't find music like this anymore
I once knew this woman.
one of greatest county singer's of all time
I saw him last week better than ever
This is REAL country music by a talented person. I can't listen to today's shit.
Love this song.. My husband used to tease me and say it was our song. for some reason..
LaVonne McCollam if county music has ever had a better voice. I haven't heard it people like this man paved the road for country music. people like him Gary stewart get lost why country music is a joke any more
GREAT ARTIST 1 of the Best Ever
I love the classic country and it’s so relaxing
I always wanted to see a movie about this song
One of my favorites by Gene Watson. Written by the great songwriter Dallas Fraizer.

Dale Watson, Gene Watson both are awesome!
Real country.I can't listen to the SHIT on "country radio " these days
my very song I had ever heard from Gene and fell in love with him after that....hubby didn't like it....oh well, got rid of hubby and kept Gene's albums
Sarita Odom were you the Gold Digger in the song? 😂😂
he is just one of the best
Love the female backup singer on it.

kaywat40 thanks.
kaywat40. I knew a Willie Jackson in West Virginia. Yes,he is dead. But,not the same one in the song. LOL
Damn that piano played on the lower keys sounds great.
That's Hargus 'Pig' Robbins, one of the mot legendary of the Nashville session players. That rolling piano style is PERFECT for this song.

I have laid by the railroad tracks in Denver a time or two!
It didn't have anything to do with satisfying her 14K mind though!
Me too after I passed out one night after the Western stock show and rodeo, I know the tracks as well
Yep, had a couple of those in my life...........thankfully I saw the writing on the wall in time to move on before rings were exchanged. Great song.
With all of Gene's hits, this was his only #1 in Billboard.
I have the Chartbuster Karaoke version of this song and I enjoy sing this song.
I like this song all so the words sum it all up for me !!!
Love, Love this one!!! Thanks for posting, brings back lots of memories. :)
How many "Willie Jackson's" are out there?
He Finally Made it
Perfect
i feel old i remember dime stores.
This song would get you a ticket out on the big road in the middle of the night when it came on.
