Lyrics:
When I get to heaven, I'm gonna shake God's hand
Thank him for more blessings than one man can stand
Then I'm gonna get a guitar and start a rock-n-roll band
Check into a swell hotel; ain't the afterlife grand?
And then I'm gonna get a cocktail: vodka and ginger ale
Yeah, I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles long
I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilt-a-whirl
'Cause this old man is goin' to town
Then as God as my witness, I'm gettin' back into showbusiness
I'm gonna open up a nightclub called "The Tree of Forgiveness"
And forgive everybody ever done me any harm
Well, I might even invite a few choice critics, those syph'litic parasitics
Buy 'em a pint of [?] and smother 'em with my charm
'Cause then I'm gonna get a cocktail: vodka and ginger ale
Yeah I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles long
I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilt-a-whirl
Yeah this old man is goin' to town
Yeah when I get to heaven, I'm gonna take that wristwatch off my arm
What are you gonna do with time after you've bought the farm?
And them I'm gonna go find my mom and dad, and good old brother Doug
Well I bet him and cousin Jackie are still cuttin' up a rug
I wanna see all my mama's sisters, 'cause that's where all the love starts
I miss 'em all like crazy, bless their little hearts
And I always will remember these words my daddy said
He said, "Buddy, when you're dead, you're a dead pecker-head"
I hope to prove him wrong, that is, when I get to heaven
'Cause I'm gonna have a cocktail: vodka and ginger ale
Yeah I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles long
I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilt-a-whirl
Yeah this old man is goin' to town
Yeah this old man is goin' to town
Singer. Songwriter. Poet. Icon.
John Prine was an artist’s artist with a list of admirers and collaborators that cut across musical genres and generations - names like Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Brandi Carlile, George Strait, Kurt Vile, Miranda Lambert, The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris, among others.
In Maywood, he worked as a postman before being drafted into the army in 1966. It was as a postman that John began to write the songs that would connect with so many. He sang at Chicago folk clubs, where he was introduced to singer-songwriter Kris Kristopherson, who invited John to open for him in New York. It was there that Jerry Wexler, president of Atlantic Records, first heard Prine and offered him a recording contract. His self-titled debut album was released in 1971 and featured a list of songs now regarded as classics, including “Paradise,” “Angel From Montgomery,” “Illegal Smile,” Hello in There,” and “Sam Stone.” Prine received the first of his 13 Grammy nominations in 1972 for Best New Artist. He would record three more albums for Atlantic and another three with Asylum.
His profound impact on American music was amplified in 1981 when John co-founded Oh Boy Records, and independent label where he released most of his subsequent work and which gave voice and respect to so many fellow singers and songwriters.
In his distinguished career, John won four Grammys and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2020). He was a three-time recipient of the Artist of the Year Award at the Americana Music Honors & Awards, which also honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting. He won the Pen/New England Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award (2016) and was enshrined in the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2019). In addition, John was named Honorary Poet Laureate of Illinois (2020).
John Prine passed away on April 7, 2020 due to complications from Covid-19. The outpouring of grief and love from his fan community was staggering. Over 500,000 viewers participated in an online memorial and tribute that raised more than half a million dollars for Covid-related community causes. In 2021, the Prine family created the Hello In There Foundation to honor John’s spirit of generosity towards those in need. Fiona Prine and her sons continue to operate and expand the reach of John’s independent record label, Oh Boy Records.

My dad died in February. When planning his memorial service, I went through his playlists to start making a playlist for the memorial. When I opened up the app, this was the last song he had listened to.
It took me three months to work up the courage to listen to it. I was expecting it to be a sad song, and instead was greeted with a joyful song about enjoying things and forgiving people. Which is exactly the kind of thing Dad would have wanted for us. I'm so glad this was the last song he chose to listen to. It feels like it was his way of saying he'll be okay. I miss him so much.
Tonight, I'm having a cocktail of vodka and ginger ale. Here's to you pops.
He would want you to celebrate his life. Sorry for your loss.
AND HERE'S TO YOU SOOZI - THAT WAS A WONDERFUL STORY - LORD BLESS!!!!!!!
I wish I could heart your comment. My dad was born February 29th and he died January the month before he turned 40. He was a leap year baby so that year was going to be extra special we thought. His attitude was at least as happy as this song was. He had a terminal illness but never once did he make it a part of our lives. Our Dad was our dad and we knew he had a ticking time bomb but we didn't know when and he treated it as if he would always be there but gave us so much in the time he had.. He was a huge music person and music even made it to his headstone. He died in 1988. During his funeral I had to leave because I HAD to be anywhere but there. My aunt walked with me in my yard while playing Pink Floyd. I had also lost a sister . She was 15 and had gotten meningitis. All of a sudden. She felt ill and within the weekend she died. When she died my father could not go to her funeral. It was too much and he also walked the yard we lived during her funeral.
When I go to heaven (God willing) I'm gonna tell my Dad I I've been missing him so much and we're gonna have a a double shot of fine Irish whiskey to start things off... Love you Mom and Dad, the two of you are my only Heroes
Vodka and ginger ale, and celebrate👍
Yesterday we lost Toby Keith, I hope John Prine will meet him at the golden gates, and they will have a cocktail, Vodka and ginger ale, together. RIP Toby and John.
Mom Transcended Dec 23, 2018. This song found me a few days after her service for the first time. John was our guy. Anytime we rode together..She would have the CD Ready to go. And we would sing. Just like when I was a kid. This one helped me so damn much. I laughed till I cried. She had metastatic Lung cancer and quit smoking. So She Definitely Smoke a Cigarette 9 miles long.. probably 2😂.
She sent me a message this morning..and this song popped right back in my head.
It's fitting that He moved on shortly after. She still sings with me. Damn I miss our laughing till we need inhailers..
We talked every single day for hours about the dumbest shit..Love &Hugs to all of you who know. And to all of you who dont. Treasure Every Single Second Like we did. ❤
"More blessings than one man can stand" is damn right. This guy brought so much joy to people through his music and his stories

He didn’t write this song for himself. He wrote it for us, so we’d be able to deal with his passage.
Yes, and also so we would live life to the fullest while we are still here.
Funny, I’ve always felt that all of his songs were for us, just us. Since 1971 🤠
@@douglaspuett1900 He wrote them for us because he couldn't hold it all inside himself
Damn. It sure does feel that way. This song gives me a smile, a belly laugh, and more than a few tears. Thank you John. Hope when it's my time, it's as wonderful as you described it. RIP.
I'll join him in that 9 mile long cigarette.
Stood at the back door in Missoula, Montana waiting to get a John Prine autograph but didn’t see him. I’m 75 years old and normally wouldn’t walk across the street to watch Jesus build a pyramid so?.
My mom passed 3 days ago. It's 4 am and I've been sitting up all night listening to old songs she loved. I know John Prine was one of her favorites, and this one popped up in my feed. This guy's making some complicated tears come out right now. What a storyteller.
I listen to this when I'm missing my dad... he passed due to covid july 24th. gives me happy tears instead of sad. Im here at least once a week. 🙏
So sorry about your mom,truly love lasts forever, she and John are having a blast right now enjoying each other's company singing and laughing, spirits never die
Hey man, sorry...
Sincere condolonces may you get thru these next few months with peace n comfort n Lil love from above God bless
In 2019 my mom was killed in a car wreck five days before Christmas. The good Lord and John Prine’s music are about the only things that got me through those dark days. May our moms Rest In Peace.
This is for all of those grieving in the comment section: no one ever truly dies. Your loved one is present, talk to them, they will talk back within their own capacity. That may be though the remembrance of a song, the appearance of a butterfly, or even finding a penny with their birth year or something along those lines. They are here helping you move mountains. Try to think of them as part of your spiritual team of protection.
My pastor often told us the Lord has a sense of humor, and even showed us some passages where it was evident. Now, I can just picture John standing before the Lord. The Lord instantly makes John to feel comfortable. And, with a Divine sly smile, begins to pull out from a pocket a nine mile long cigarette...
Years back somebody signed the guest book at John's website and said, "The last quarter of the 20th century wouldn't have been worth living without John Prine".
You're there now John. From all your fans...have one on us!!
Some good comments here, i believe John Prine wrote this song because it's how he felt and what he believed, and if anyone felt the same and it made them happy, he was happy and if you listened and didn't like it l, i doubt he could care less. RIP. Mr Prine.
RIP to a pure legend. I hope you're resting easy, smoking a cigarette and drinking a cocktail.
Maybe John Prine has never been a big star, but he's never been anything less than a colossal talent. He's made this old world a better place.
AMEN!
You know him and I know him that is what John wants
Proud to be a member of the same species.
He even has a lot of fans in the Netherlands. He must be abig star.
Love this song!
He was one of the most under-rated performers. I love this song.
He was the real deal,,maybe Goodman and he can send a new song into the universe 😊

I’ve only recently discovered John and his music and I’m hooked! Haven’t heard a song that I dislike and I’m pretty sure that I won’t! Wish I’d discovered him sooner 😢
God speed John. Save me a a table at the Tree of Forgiveness.
Well-said!
Amen
I would like to reserve a table there myself ..well said Paul
I'll get the next round, but not yet.
Paul Kethman Me too.
This Christian thinks that is one of the best descriptions of the great future we have. Thank you Mr. Prine. I'd like to play bass in your heavenly rock'n roll band
Who can hardly imagine one man making millions of people reflective, kind and mainly happy? For all these years?
I don't have to imagine that at all.
I just say, "Yeah, John Prine does that."
Been binge watching and binge listening and binge strumming John's songbook all week.
Get well John. Peace and patience brother.
How can 477 people not like this? wtf is there not to like? people have lost their minds... no wait, they've never found their minds in the first place!
It doesn’t matter what you say or post some people just have to be negative god bless them cause they need it!!!
You are so right what is there not to like going to bring in 2021 with a vodka and ginger ale any recipes
Aliens man, it's got to be !!
They are bad people that were raised wrong. Don't blame them

I hope they sang this at his funeral, he'll be forever missed
Rest in peace, John. Enjoy that 9 mile long cigarette.
Legends don't die, just hit play.
If Thomas Aquinas heard this song, he would say it is proof of the existence of God.
The 6th proof.
Well said Carl.
John missed his brother Doug, who died in 2012 of liver cancer after a career as a Chicago cop. I guess John's gonna get to see Doug again, when he gets to Heaven.
Thank-you for not saying cigarette. HAPPY EASTER✌🙏🙏💔💛💚
I won’t say RIP John because I know he’s not resting right now. He’s in heaven right now drinking vodka smoking a 9 mile long cigarette and hanging out with his family, he’s busy hosting the tree of forgiveness, He’s with his band playing for god, and most of all he’s gunna kiss that pretty girl. We miss you John.
John’s drinking a vodka and Ginger ale with his mom and dad “i miss them all like crazy”
and smoking a cigarette that's 9 miles long !
Blind John Nothing but tears from me today. ❤️
first celebrity that I've ever cried over.

So, John Prine finally did it. Lots of music, drinks, and cigarettes going on in heaven now.

Cash once said "John Prine is 24 years old and writes songs like he's 240 years old!"
Have a good journey
Gone but not forgotten John dale
Jon - to give credit where credit's due, Kris Kristofferson was the first one to say that about JP. Cash may have repeated it (and it's certainly worth repeating many times), but Kristofferson said it first.
I think it was first said about Leon Redbone by Bob Dillon.
Forbes yeah just heard it in an interview. All good.
Thank You God for blessing us with John Prine. Thank you John for sharing your blessing with us. I pray for peace and comfort to John's Family & friends.
Johnny Prine was an absolute original! God rest his soul. 🇺🇸🗽🦅🙏💙💪😇🤠
I’ll look forward to seeing his rock n roll band when I get there
Didn’t sleep much last night. Had John Prine playing softly in the background. Thoughts and prayers for John and family.
Yeah ,me too.
My prayers go out to John and you.
Peace, love and health be with you Brother ✌💞🎶🙏🇨🇦KEH
I can't stop my eyes from tearing up since I heard he was sick days ago. Please god don't take this man and his genius from us yet.
same
Rest in Peace John Prine.
My heart is breaking with the news that you've passed away.
Been listening to you Kenny Rogers and Bill Withers and Tragically Hip for the last few weeks now.
My prayers go out to John's wife Fiona and family.
Peace, love and health be with all of you.
✌💞🌹🎶🙏

Woke up with a tear this morning. Didnt understand what was up untill i checked the news. Have a ball sir, you've been waiting.
Who could hate this? My God folks... Lighten up Francis.
Lighten up Francis huh? I remember that one. I've had not a lot of interest in cigarettes but I have kissed a girl I didn't know in the bar. It was good for both of us I'm guessing. I haven't been in a bar in twenty years. I could have married a number of women but I never married any of them. So it was all fair. Bless their hearts. Good art work.

Rest in peace Mr Prine 💔 we howled at the full moon tonight to mourn your passing. 😢
" When I get to Heaven " was the first song I listened to after hearing of Johns death. This Viet Nam vet isn't too proud to admit that I was sitting there laughing and crying at the same time. Love you, John.
Stefano Magaddino ❤️
❤️
@@katmarie5607 Thanks, Kat. Love right back to you too.
@@robfroese8151 Thanks, Rob. Semper Fi.
No shame in THAT reaction - you fly that flag!
John
I hope you and your mom and dad, brother Doug, cousin Jackie and your mom's sisters are all rejoicing in heaven
I'll look you up when I get there. Thanks for the great music
My dad would always play Prine when we were little, usually on our way to our camping trips. I couldn’t stand the sound. He was just some old geezer that my dad listened to. But I some point when I grew into my teenage years. Maybe because I started listening to the words instead of tuning out. Then out of nowhere I was convinced John was my favorite artist. I am 21 now and my sweet girlfriend got me tickets to my first concert on may 23rd for his Louisville concert. I am heartbroken I couldn’t see him before he passed. But i am blessed to know a wonderful artist. I hope his family are okay, just one request for them, please don’t bury him down in the cold cold ground!
Hey your not alone because I was the same way.
Now that I'm a little older and hopefully a little wiser I love it and yes I even like county music.
His Wikipedia says “In accordance with Prine's wishes as expressed in his song "Paradise", half of his ashes were spread in Kentucky's Green River. The other half were buried next to his parents in Chicago.”
I hope that’s true. Having a cocktail tonight for ole Prine.
Same for me, I remember my dad dragging my sister and I somewhere. And I remember “I got rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes”. I’m now 36 and John Prine is a huge part of my life. Thanks dad...
@@andrewmccallum9943
Great memories.
Charles Freudemann My Dad loved John Prine as well. My first live concert was 20 years ago in Fort Worth, TX at the Bass City Music Hall. Buckwheat Zydeco opened for him and when they were finished, John Prine came on and all I wanted to do was drink beer and tell stories with him. So sad he passed and you didn’t get to see him. My Dad passed away a few years ago and I know they’re hanging out...pickin and a grinnin’ lol
Hope it's all true. God bless you John Prine. Rest in peace.
"Those syphilitic parasitics" I think John Prine is the greatest !!!
You filled my life with songs of truth, glory and love and I will be forever grateful, thank you John Prine.
The whole world has lost a true human being. RIP John.
Hey John, for 44 years your lyrics and humor have kept me rolling through this life. Would not have been the same without you! You’ve pulled through a lot and can pull through this too! I’ll keep playing you on my old guitar and thinking of you and your family. Thanks for being a part of mine.
The best thing to come from Chicago (along with Steve Goodman). THANKS!
"This old man is goin' to town..." Heartbroken.
Im out here in NC drinking whiskey and listening to John's music. Were gonna miss him until our own time comes
So Glad He’s Up There Reunited with All That Family That He Missed So Much!! No More Suffering and No More Pain like he was enduring down here!! Sad that he was robbed of his “Right to Try” out of another persons Hatred. But Gods Ways are not ours and I’m sure Johns Livin It Up!!
First time I have heard this song and it is impossible to listen without a smile on your face and a sadness in your heart.RIP JP
@@TheMnimatt Just saw your post. In Raleigh, 7/19/20. 81 now, still missing John Prine, and will as long as I live. Thankful for so much of his music on You Tube. "Hello in There" playing...again...right now. "Sam Stone" next.
My dad just passed on August 10th. He had blood cancer. Had a bone marrow transplant in May that failed. Every complication he could have gotten, he did. From the chemo, from the transplant, from the lack of immune system. He got a booster transplant in June and that also failed. He was living through hell. He had one last chance of trying a third transplant of cord blood, but his liver started failing and the doctor had to take that option off the table. They loaded him up with an extra unit of blood and gave him a life expectancy of 4-5 days. Oddly enough, he seemed happier after hearing that. Knowing that his suffering would soon be over. He was a prine fan for as long as I can remember. We listened to this song several times in those last 4-5 days, along with so many other great Prine songs. He made it to day 6... my dad never was one to follow rules. I have a little peace knowing he is up there helping John with that 9 mile long cigarette... exchanging stories and having a hell of a party.
Rest in peace Dad. "If you aren't livin on the edge, you're taking up space" 💗
We lost a great one there, I just hope he is up in heaven smoking that cigarette, nine miles long. RIP John
45 year old grown an and I just cried on the way home from work..The world is going to miss you John! RIP 💔
Same here! You aren't human if you don't cry once in a while!!
Oh John, you’re so missed, by so many. I pray you’re enjoying that cocktail & 9 miles long cigarette with your family to great you in heaven. God bless you sir.
Mr.John just passed on yesterday so his soul will still be around for a couple more weeks b4 his soul goes on up .I know these things for a fact cause I've dealt with them for years & so if his family & friends all his loved 1's will pay close attention they will see sirns & some bout even be lucky enough to see him again b4 he leaves for good in his earth body .They will feel is touch & smell his smell & sometimes even hear his voice .I know he will go to Heaven I'm sure of that but I'm just saying he is not there yet not until after his burial but now he mite go a lil sooner cause nobody can have funeral services rite now & I so hate that about this horrible virus .If I had 1 wish it would be to have a cure for this for every human & animal still alive today .God Bless all .
Guess you're finally there, writing & singing with the angels, John. May you forever rest in the sweetest peace.
If you're not smiling and tapping your feet to this song then my friend you're doing it wrong 😊
i must be doin it right then
Your poetry, your humor and your storytelling will live forever. Let us know when you start that rock and roll band in Heaven. See you at the Tree of Forgiveness. Rest in peace John Prine
I love how hysterical he could be n between &b4 songs. Sooooo witty. Thank-you 4 including that part of him.😅🤣😉🙏✌😇🙋♀️.
This old man is going to town!!!Thanks for staying with us awhile.
We have lost John, but his spirit, his poetry, and sense of humor will be with us as long as we have these electrical devices. We however will not have any more creations by John. My prayers are with you Fiona and family. I think you lost a wonderful man.
Did he get that cigarette that’s nine miles long? We will never know.
He's over that cigarette.
John just lost his battle with c-19. My heart is broken.
Never been a big star? Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, in interviews years apart listed him as in the top three musicians they went to when they were looking for inspiration
Such a great song writer and performer
@Daniel Stetson They played and roomed together traveling on gigs.
That does not mean he was a big star. It just means they liked him and looked to him for inspiration.
I read him and Dylan would go bowling every decade, RIP
He was good but not a big star. There is a difference.
I feel like i lost a brother. Who needed a therapist when we had John?
John has shaken God's hand.
God says. " it's an honor to have you on board."
& he has found that he does not need that cigarette? self-prayer😊
There just aren't many poets left. John you always leave me with a smile on my face. Thank you so very much for being John Prine!
"a smile on my face" OR "a tear in my eye"...

I hope you found all your family, and I hope you've got that cocktail in your hand, John. We're gonna miss you down here though.
Just heard the sad news of John Prine passing. So, so sad. Stay safe everyone. God bless us all. My first boyfriend played a pretty good Sam Stone so long ago.
John I have listened to your wonderful Music since the early part of 1971. And I'll see you at the four way stop Delimia.
John Prine (October 10, 1946 - April 7, 2020) will miss you
It’s not your when yet John. You’ve got to fight the good fight one more time with all of us behind you. Bless you and you’re loved ones. Peace.
I can't believe he's really gone. Well, gone from here and now up there. Enjoy that cocktail and long-ass cigarette, John, with God as your witness.
My heart has shattered in 99 pieces,
A very good man has left us alone,
His body was broken,
Yet the words he has spoken,
Will comfort our souls,
And help us go on.
R.I.P. Mr. Prine.

I'm 60 yrs old and knew the name John Prine because of an obscure Eric Clapton album. From the 90's I think cIan't remember the title. Mr. Prine was a huge influence on it. HELP
I had the album. I don't remember the name of the album either but they did Tulsa Time and a few others
This is so beautiful...guess we grew old together buddy, like railway tracks that never meet.
Thanks for this, it’s a nice way to look back & a good way to move forward. Your songs have kept everything in the right perspective for decades now and I’ve enjoyed all of them. 🙏
That was a cool comment , i respect that , i feel that way too
We grew old together like railway track that never met....damn that sounds like a john prine lyric
About now, God is on the receiving end of that grateful handshake John promised Him. I hope He likes it. I only learned of John 2 years ago. Since then I scoured RUclips of all the videos I could find of him. I'm both sad for the many years I've lived without the enjoyment of John's songs and thankful for the years to come after now learning of him. In spite of himself, he ended up a sittin on a rainbow... Ol,. Sarge...
When John got to heaven God shook HIS hand.
"When I die let my ashes float down the green river" -RIP and smoke that 9 mile long cigarette for all of us.
John, enjoy your vodka and ginger ale and your 9 mile long cigarette. The world will miss you.
Ask for a Handsome Johnny when you want a vodka with ginger ale.
@@HelenWheels9 When the Bars open, I'll do Just that.
I hope he found his mom and his dad and his mom's sisters.
@@googleuser2874 I also hope he found good old brother Doug and cousin Jackie cutting up a rug.
Sit down with Sam Stone. And they're wont find that hole in daddy's arm where all his courage n money went . How much you want to bet J.P.
Hang in there buddy, everyone want's to go to heaven but no one wants to go tonight
Enjoy that cocktail, John...rest in peace❤️
@@SuperKanich And enjoy that cigarette old friend. RIP
Hey John I'm gonna miss you for the rest of my life.When I get there make sure the beer is ice cold and the weather is warm so we can sit outside and enjoy our cocktails.😇
My friend Ryan showed me this song. He died last month. I miss ya man, I’ll see ya when I get there.
We'll miss you, John. God Speed.
RIP John. Say hi to my Dad. You'll see him hanging out with the rest of the Chicago crew. ❤
"I wanna see all my mama's sisters, 'cause that's where all the love starts
I miss 'em all like crazy, bless their little hearts." Ain't it the truth? I was blessed to get to have seven of them around. p.s. love the kazoo!
Thank-you for hearing the whole song and not the cigarette(again!)😇HAPPY EASTER✌🙏🙏🙏💔💙💚💛🧡
Jeff will play the piano as I know he get to heaven 🙏❤️
I love it! The “tree of forgiveness” has such an optimistic feel to it. John may be known for sad songs, but he sure knows how to bring a smile to your face.
Even when the tears roll from my eyes
John is a national treasure and true legend. Artist of substance.... a real deal. Many thanks for sharing/posting.
There's not many songs that can bring me to tears, but most of them are John Prine songs and definitely this one does today.
Crying tonight
I’ve taught classes about you, Kilgore. Nice to meet you.
John Prine and Tom Waits...
I hope Mr. Prine gets to do all the things in this song. RIP.
Anyone that is a JP fan should be voting daily at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Tell all your friends and neighbors. JP should be getting the recognition he deserves. Who the heck is LLCoolJ anyway? Good grief
UKBBQMAN Smokin RR HoF is a joke did they even let Frampton in yet?
JP DONT NEED THIS
Duck the rock and roll hall of fame. They always did have bad timing.
We just lost an American Classic. This old place will be a lot sadder without you John. This cocktails for you brother...
RIP John & thanks for givin' what you gave us. It makes this ride a little less bumpy.
The late John Prine was a masterful songwriter. And now that he's in heaven he'll be able to entertain God and the Angels, forever.
I believe you're doing just that, beloved Mr. Prine.
Praying for him. He has the virus.
Ahh...God got a good one ! And I am sure He is not too shocked by you. Rest well in Life, my friend.
Last night i was crying when i heard that John had passed and then I put on this song and it made me picture him up there in heaven and it made me realize that this song was probably meant as a comfort. We'll miss you John.
Sadly, John left us today after contracting the CoronaVirus-19 and spending 12 days on a ventilator! Fortunately, we've seen him performing several times in the past, including during this past November 2019 at his inaugural All the Best Fest in the Dominican Republic. We will miss him greatly and are deeply saddened by today's news!
can't help myself, playing all of his songs right now blasted as high as I can. Sending all my love to you John!!
I'm with you.
May prayers go out to you John. Be well.
Heaven can Wait.
Peace, love and health be with you all.
✌💞🎶🙏

@@katherinehunter9526 my daughter caught me crying and I tried so hard to explain to her how much his music had impacted me as a young person. She gets it.
@@walkonby100 My son saw me crying yesterday and asked, "Oh no, who is it?"
He knows well my love for John Prine. I have sung along with John for his entire 27 years. I sang his songs when I rocked him as a baby.
He even has his favorite Prine songs, like "Space Monkey" and "Jesus, The Missing Years". I saw him blinking back some tears, too.
@@LazyIRanch I just know there will be new fans of John's down the road.
They're playing here, too
The first time I heard of John Prine he sang a on a little song called Sweet Suzanne. I knew most the other singers in Buzzin Cousins but not JP. Later when Napster was big I listened to a TON of his music. What a great song writer singer and comedian. No one can make you laugh and cry like this guy.
Not sure how HEAVEN will be, nevertheless I hope that Mr. Prine is having a great time with YESHUA!!!
