My dad passed away not too long ago. I write this through tears and smiles as I remember him singing this song to my brother and me when we were very little. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️
I’m sorry for your loss. Hopefully songs like this one will bring you the gentle comfort of fond memories of your father. This, and other things like it, have for me and are now what I focus on when I think of him and smile. My best to you.
You two are simply amazing. You never fail to bring a smile to my face. Thank you for the happiness you bring to my life, on the other side of the world.
My Mom and her siblings grew up during the depression, lost their mother to cancer when mom was just 13. She helped raise the younger kids . They sang these old songs together and aways seemed strong and happy to get together as we grew up. Music seemed to be the glue. They have gone from us, but all the cousins still get together and sing the old songs. Could you do " Will the Circle be Unbroken"? THANKS . Really enjoy your harmonies.
When I was a little boy, when we went on long car trips, my dad would sing this and other humorous songs to keep me and my little brother entertained. Thank you for reminding me of that memory.
How beautiful a performance is this? You have outdone yourselves. I haven’t heard this one in maybe 60 years, and can’t say I’ve EVER heard it from musicians picking their way down a stony trail.
I wanted to thank you both for posting this. I sent it to a friend who’s wife is very sick, and in the hospital at this time. He texted me, and said it really raised both of their spirits. Almost magical what good music can do. From all of us. We thank you.
Approximately 1956 a small boy played a mono 78rpm record by Burl Ives in a rented house in Monrovia, CA. It had this song on it. Was not expecting that memory to pop into my head today. Thank you.
"When evening came as the sun went down", such a sweet voice. You are awesome Elle. And it's clear Toni doesn't like changing or washing her socks. Love you both. Thanks.
You have to be kidding. Toni playing while walking down an uneven dirt trail, and since that's not hard enough lets do it left handed. Now your just showing off! Unbelievable, most of us struggle just to play let alone walk and play other handed, and sing harmony as well. Soooooo talented the both of you. Thanks for sharing, and hope you enjoyed Inyo.
@sinjon She is right handed normally. I went and checked other videos just to be sure I hand not missed that, so I wondered if it was flipped. Couldn't think of any good reason why it would be though.
Not to take any cudos away from Toni, who is talented beyond imagination, but I think the left-handed guitar playing is a funtion of recording on an i-phone.
Fun rendition Ladies. Those Big Rocks in the candy mountain are 20 minutes out my door up the Marysvale canyon here in Utah. Beautiful Country this time of year. Thanks Again!
Music has a remarkable way of moving people in the best way possible, and every performance of these two pure and authentic artists is a testament to that. Always touching the heart’s strings of all those who listened to their music. And I admit, including mine ❤😀 Thank you SO much Elle and Toni, for making our hearts sing! 🎶🎵✨
I have watched this video about 20 times. I beyond enjoy it. The lyrics are genius, but the class, and charm y'all perform it with is off the richter scales. Thank you ladies. For giving me another reason to be happy, to wake up on Sunday mornings.👍👍
That was a sweet take on an old classic. My grandfather used to sing that song to me as a child and I, in turn, sang it to my son every night at bedtime. Thanks for rekindling those memories for me. The harmonization at the end was nothing short of perfection. You guys rock!
A poignantly legendary American folksong that is instantly likeable and evokes the big outdoors anywhere in the contintent. Performed here as never before, with sunny enthusiasm, witty musicianship, and natural charm in a clever arrangement that blends sound and vision. What it all is, is Big Rock Candy Mountain the Movie! And we shouldn't be sad that there won't be a sequel, because this is the spirit of the song captured. Super! Fantastic!
Great song!! I grew up hearing Doc Williams, from Wheeling, W. VA. perform this song on his 25th Anniversary Album- from 1962 I believe. My Dad had it and he played and sang guitar, and this was one he sang as well. Wonderful memories from that time. Thank you!
meandering down tha trail amongst the ancient trees and singin' a song and recordin' it without tripping and falling on your face... I think that's quite an accomplishment! Fun song (woo-hoo!)
That was lovely. Great rendition to listen to on a Sunday. That’s one of those songs that when I heard the rarely covered final verse it threw me for a loop.
My family and I actually own a resort called Big Rock Candy Mountain in central Utah. Love your version of the song. I've been following you for years. Thank you so much.
Elle Cordova there is no sweeter voice on the planet. My spirit soars to Heaven when listening to you regardless of what song. Bravo to Toni's expert guitar playing also. 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you & God bless you.
Caught you both taking a peek every now and then at where you were walking! As another said, walkin', talkin', singin', guitarin', while walking down a rocky stream bed.... Great job!
My mother sang this song to me, that she learned growing up during the depression. I am older than father time, now. It is great you youngsters sing it these days.
This song has spanned 3 generations now since Harry McClintock first wrote it in 1928. Then Woody, then Burl and now this version. Good folk music never dies. It only gets better and better. Really enjoyed this!
❤❤❤ so jealous of the travels you have. Another fantastic song performed wonderfully by you both. I have trouble talking and walking let alone filming, singing, whistling and playing a guitar 🎸 😊
Oh, my goodness! I love to hear a song I’ve forgotten about! Why have The Drummer and I not taught this one to the grandkids? We missed one! On it now!! Thanks Elle and Toni. I so look forward to Sunday songs. 🤎🥰
Thanks for doing this song! It was one of my dad's favourites. He lived through the "dirty thirties" and used to "ride the rails" looking for work during those difficult years.

"they hung the jerk who invented work" could be the best lyric line ever.
It was originally "the Turk."
Wouldn't want to offend the Turk who Invented Work.
lol
@@BillGoodwin1 Exactly. I was going to make the same comment. I guess that would be considered politically incorrect (or racist) these days though.
I've heard the version "They boiled in oil the inventor of toil".
@@BillGoodwin1 I think the change makes it better
Damn, dropped a Hitchhiker's Guide reference at the end and everything.
My dad passed away not too long ago. I write this through tears and smiles as I remember him singing this song to my brother and me when we were very little.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️
I am sorry for your loss. Your Dad must have been a cool father.
I’m sorry for your loss
My Dad passed away too recently and this was one of the tunes he'd asked to be played at his funeral
I’m sorry for your loss. Hopefully songs like this one will bring you the gentle comfort of fond memories of your father. This, and other things like it, have for me and are now what I focus on when I think of him and smile. My best to you.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing this memory with us
Love the answer 42. That's the answer to life, the universe and everything. Thanks Elle and Toni!
OK my, thank you for that! Sunday Mornings are always happy with you girls ... ❤💕❣️
I grew up listening to Burl Ives sing this song. Thank you.
Me too.
Me too
The answer to life, the universe, and everything .
Thank you! My father used to sing this to us. It reminded him of the 1920s and 30s when he followed the harvests.
You two are simply amazing. You never fail to bring a smile to my face. Thank you for the happiness you bring to my life, on the other side of the world.

Now that;s two fun and talented girls that must be a blast to hang out with. Bravo!
Thanks for taking me to the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Greetings from Milan.
Love to see smiling and singin’ on Sunday morning. This just happens to be one of the first songs I remember hearing (born 1956).
My dear old dad used to play this for me way back than. Thanks for sharing. Canada.
You two are such bright lights in this world! Thank you!

Was not expecting that memory to pop into my head today. Thank you.
I was 5 years old in 1956 and my mother played Burl Ives and Doris Day all the time. Magic for a 5 year old.
Thanks for keeping this style of music alive! Fantastic job and beautiful setting!
"When evening came as the sun went down", such a sweet voice. You are awesome Elle.
And it's clear Toni doesn't like changing or washing her socks. Love you both. Thanks.
Beautiful scenery and song! Happy Sunday! 😊💐🎵

Or ... and hear me out ... the video is flipped.
@@UncleKennysPlaceThat's what I was thinking
Yeah the video is flipped. Pretty sure she’s right handed.
@sinjon She is right handed normally. I went and checked other videos just to be sure I hand not missed that, so I wondered if it was flipped. Couldn't think of any good reason why it would be though.

Agreed
💯💯🧡💛💚💙💜 It is worth every sigle note 🎤🎸
Amen ❤
Most Americans alive today were acquainted with this tune through "O'Brother, Where Art Thou."
I have watched this video about 20 times. I beyond enjoy it. The lyrics are genius, but the class, and charm y'all perform it with is off the richter scales. Thank you ladies. For giving me another reason to be happy, to wake up on Sunday mornings.👍👍
You 2 are wonderful
Thank you for bringing sushi joy into life.
I am already looking forward to seeing you next Sunday.
God bless you both.
Sooo great! Same atmosphere here right now, as it is evening now in Germany and extraordinarily warm and glowing summery... Thank you for the music
Now that was some serious "thinking out of the box". Thanks for reviving this lost treasure for the masses, in a time when we need it the most.👍👍

This was just pure smiles, for all of you singing, for all of us listening, the entire time. Just - love it. Thanks for this !
Loved it. One of my favorite old time tunes. I have a Bristlecone pine in my front yard.
I'm smiling again. As always.... this is the end result of watching and listening to Elle and Toni do their thing. Wonderful.

Great song to perk up our Sunday! Cheers all👍🍻
The best I've ever heard that song, in my 70-some years of folkie-ness.
That was lovely. Great rendition to listen to on a Sunday.
That’s one of those songs that when I heard the rarely covered final verse it threw me for a loop.

Merci ! C'est toujours un plaisir de vous retrouver .

I love this song, and your harmony is FANTASTIC!!!
My grade school class learned to sing this 50 years ago now. It still makes me smile. Thanks for the reminder.
Caught you both taking a peek every now and then at where you were walking! As another said, walkin', talkin', singin', guitarin', while walking down a rocky stream bed.... Great job!
Fine harmoniy singing, I love it! Nice Douglas Adams reference at the end. Thanks again for entertaining us in such a beautiful manner!
Yes y'all are so great.....in the Big Rock Candy Mountains.....

Strolling musicians! What a fitting song for the area.
I always remember Burl Ives singing this many many years ago. Awesome rendition girls 😍
Me too.
This song has spanned 3 generations now since Harry McClintock first wrote it in 1928. Then Woody, then Burl and now this version. Good folk music never dies. It only gets better and better. Really enjoyed this!
Great harmony by Toni!
Very ambitious, and excellently performed! Super fun!!
Of all the songs I've heard you guys sing, I think this brought the greatest smile. Thank you. Keep on playing.

This was the song I needed now
Another outstanding performance. Thank you.
My favorite version of one of my favorite little ditties. 💙
Love this song!
This one has always been one of my favorites, great job!
❤❤❤ so jealous of the travels you have. Another fantastic song performed wonderfully by you both. I have trouble talking and walking let alone filming, singing, whistling and playing a guitar 🎸 😊
Amazing
Memories of Burl Ives. A great, enjoyable American folk singer seldom mentioned nowadays.
The wholesome content you didn't know you needed in your life
whistling under pressure ! Love the harmonizing, great fun! Thanks!
I loved this! It was charming, entertaining and fun!
Thanks so much. This is my new favorite. ❤
Very well-executed with the vocal effects. Very pleasing yet still authentic to the live vibe
I first heard this song about 70 years ago, and I'm pretty sure it was already old then. Very nice rendition!
Couldn't help but smile. Just wonderful and beautiful! Thank you!
Toni perfectly closes this sweet song. Happy Sunday.
Oh the memories that brings!!!! Thanks for yet another Great performance!!!! VERY enjoyable!!!
Really charming. The whistling really makes it special.
Always filling Mith with mirth! Thank you for sharing your happy songs!
@UCoP-Mto_5ZpV0WgfVVWarBg what would you like to discuss?
Beautiful harmonies.
Always been my favorite, especially as an adult. Excellent job
So fun and beautiful!!!
🍬🏔️🍬🏔️🍬
Oh, my goodness! I love to hear a song I’ve forgotten about! Why have The Drummer and I not taught this one to the grandkids? We missed one! On it now!!
Thanks Elle and Toni. I so look forward to Sunday songs. 🤎🥰
comforting music soothes the soul
From someone who has used a short handled shovel. That was magnificent.
Gracious...you two are soo special and sweet! Wonderful! You lifted my soul!
Thanks for doing this song! It was one of my dad's favourites. He lived through the "dirty thirties" and used to "ride the rails" looking for work during those difficult years.
Love this song and absolutely love your version. Thanks for sharing! You are both wonderful!
This has been one of my favorite songs for ages. Thank you so much for covering it!
Que lugar maravilhoso vocês estão! A música soa lindíssima em meus ouvidos. Obrigado e beijos!
