When this song was at its height, my sister was 19 years old, dying from cancer. I was 17, and left school to spend a dreary winter with her in a Chicago hospital where they were doing experimental chemo. Late night, we'd order a pizza to be delivered to the ER in the basement, because nobody was allowed on the 8th floor cancer ward that late. We'd ride the elevator down and back, harmonizing this song together. She died too soon after that. I'm in my 70s now, but when I hear this song, I'm 17, in an elevator with great acoustics, holding a pizza, and singing my heart out with my best friend.
That's so lovely I really do love Don William as well, I will like us to know more about each if you don't mind, Where are you from and where do you live now??
Never stopped since this first hit the air waves. At 74 I was lucky and blessed to have had all this music at the reach of the radio dial. Today there is nothing but noisy crap passed off as music.
RIP Don Williams. You have spread so much love in this world. Humanity has so much to thank you. Your voice never changed, i am sure you are still singing with the angels up above.
Been listening to Don since I was young enough to remember going on Christmas and Summer vacations with my grandparents. Driving for HOURS to different states listening to the old country music
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell "Let my guitar playing friend do my request" Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets Came to sing a few old gospel songs And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang Could I hear it once before you move along?" Sing me back home, the the song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die Won't you sing me back home, the the song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die Sing me back home before I die
I agree with you 127%. Long ago (my daughter is 42 now) Westside Don Williams in St Augustine when she was a baby. After he said he came over and touched my then baby girl and said she was beautiful. At 36 my beautiful baby girl was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Now 6 years later not only do I have a miracle in my daughter's remission but I have a 2 year old granddaughter and a 2-month-old granddaughter. Don Williams was right - she is beautiful
Hello my honest and sincere apologies forgive me for dropping this here but I will love to be a friend to a honest, loving and caring woman which you're hope no offense?
Whenever I see Don's name come up, I hit the 'like button' cos his voice is unique. Next to Elvis, he soothes my mind like not many others. Real deal. RIP Don. Clarity of words too.
That's so lovely I really do love Don William as well, I will like us to know more about each if you don't mind, Where are you from and where do you live now??
@DavidWayne-pg3mk Glad you like Don Williams David. I live in Britain with husband and son. Am not a musical person but I appreciate some Classical. Dont have much time for socialising outside our small group as hubby's job takes him far and wide, so we go together. Be happy. Blessings.
@@anneashley5110 Wow that's nice, I'm from Los Angeles California and I will really like us to be good friends if you don't mind me asking, what's your profession I mean your job??
Married to the same woman for over fifty years, never in trouble with the law, a stoner or drunk, Don is almost unique in the music business. I've followed him since his days with the Pozo Seco Singers in the 60s. Not only do I love his music, I admire the MAN. We have our Willie's and Possum's, and we love their music too. But Don brings a LOT to the table. He has written wonderful lyrics, and his voice has soothed millions. Gotta love this guy.
+Tom Swinburn I heartily agree with you, Tom. When someone asks me "what music do you like?" and I say "I am very fond of Don Williams", I feel proud of Don because of his good reputation as one of the best singers in the world and as a good man. Other singers are just an embarrassment to even be associated with as a fan, if you know what I mean. "Oh, him(!)" What I like about Don is his humility personally and I have been to five of Don's fantastic concerts. Lovely guy with a God-given voice and calming relaxing songs. Agape. Andrew.
I've been depressed for a long time, I seem useless and bad. This music has helped me relieve fatigue and stress. Thanks for sharing it. The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness!
I heavily relied on his music a couple years ago to pull myself out of self pity and hate. Any anxiety or depression I had would melt away, and everything made sense once again. I’ll never forget his music as long as I live.
That's so lovely I really do love Don William as well, I will like us to know more about each if you don't mind, Where are you from and where do you live now??❤❤❤❤
He's my favorite country singer I just love his elegant cool style of singing and expression and he had great musical tastes also.I have his album borrowed tales I would recommend it to anyone it's a great listen.

Always loved Don Willams (and Merle Haggard). How can you not love Don Williams covering this Merle Haggard song? Rest in peace to both of those wonderful talents.
You're right. My two favorites. Merle talked about writing the song in his autobiography, you should check it out if you havent already. Such warm beautiful voices
Been a fan of this man since I was 20 - I'm 71 now and still love his voice. Got the chance to see him live once in the UK - better on stage than I thought possible and SUCH a gent. Brilliant Don RIP.
Surprisingly i discovered this masterpiece this year, 2 weeks ago (Jan 2024), while driving through the Highway from my hometown to Shillong, where i settled for my studies, crossing two states. Played this song on repeat mode and enjoyed the long journey while passing through the long and dusty country road.❤️
Man! The BEST! ONLY Don Williams could sing Haggard and do it justice! Love me some Don Williams! Luck enough to have played with Joe Allen (bass player, song writer, singer) for Don! Blessed
you're so beautiful and i have been trying to send you a friend request on RUclips but it's not working so pretty please if you really don't mind you can just send me a friend request here on RUclips or message me directly on RUclips thanks you..
*I was born in the 90s and I grew up on all these great songs. My childhood music was the best. Friends in low places and achy breaky heart are my favorite.👍🔥🎶*
Just heard this song for the first time Jan 1, 2023 by channel surfing. I stopped on a random music video channel, and not even 20 seconds in, I was in complete tears and smiling from ear to ear!. I've never had a song invoke so much emotion in me, so fast and so strong. Just writing this comment is making me emotional. What has this song done to me man!.
There's no such thing as country music now...but thank God for the classics like this.... country music died in the 90's ... when Garth Brooks come along and started it's decline to the garbage they want to call country now days
@@williamhutto5708 that's why when I am on Tidal HiFi plus, I only choose to listen the classics and no tune voice. To this day, my most streamed artists are only Enya and Don Williams. Yes, I am 20s . I love the modern music and songs too. But only the true classics can hit my heart most.
Married to the same woman for over fifty years, never in trouble with the law, not a stoner or drunk, Don is almost unique in the music business. Just a "Good Old Southern Boy!" I've followed him since his days with the Pozo Seco Singers in the 60s. Not only do I love his music, I admire the MAN. Truly amazing man. Don brings a LOT to the table. He has written wonderful lyrics, and his voice has soothed millions. Gotta love this guy... Great Musician...artist and Christian...
@uprasietube The irony of your reply is lost on me, both Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard were in "trouble with the law" did time in prison and seem to have regretted those bad choices. This song is written about a man on Death Row.. who starts thinking about how his Mama tried to raise him right? But he chose to go the other path. Both Country Giants Johnny and Merle lived with and had wrestled with drugs alcohol and one with "infidelity. "Sing me Back Home" to those Good Old Days.. Merle had multiple wives and children by different women. Both Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard had their come to "Jesus moments" before they died.. and were thankful that God is the God of second chances. It's called God's grace, not because of our Good works, but His free gift to those who repent and turn to Jesus. Apparently the "wild lives of sin and debauchery didn't satisfy either one of them when facing their eternal destiny's?

To everyone reading this and listening. Close your eyes, inhale and feel the air in your lungs give life to your beautiful soul. and as you exhale, release the tension in your shoulders, ease the tension in your neck and the back of your head. Allow peace to flow inside of every fiber and vein in your body. You are doing great. No matter what you are going through. You will be just fine. Hugs to you all..
I have been listening to Don Williams since I was a teenager and I'm still listening at the young age of 81....I love his voice ....It just proves that one does not have to raise the voice to sing !
Don Williams has many songs, is a highly brilliant singer, and will always hold a special place in our hearts. How long have you been listening to Williams music?
Hello my honest and sincere apologies forgive me for dropping this here but I will love to be a friend to a honest, loving and caring woman which you're hope no offense?
What a great man. There is not a so called country singer today that could walk on stage with this man. God are the days gone forever?.thank you Mr don Williams.
I love your post and profile, would really love to know more about that wonderful smile😊 of yours but hope am not intruding your profile,I tried sending you a request to be friends just like all users do but didn't go through so can you please send me a friend request so i can know more about your beautiful smiling face 🌹🌹... ***Stay Safe🙏🙏***
Alen Jackson is a very talented singer and he has this magical voice and lyrics that I love his songs will never be forgotten in this world 🌎. So tell me since when have you been listening to Jackson songs?
Don would be 25 years older than I am and I loved him since I was just a kid. Just listening to him sing in his soothing baritone and seeing his total kindness as a human being helped me survive a turbulent childhood and first marriage. May you be blessed with many crowns, Don Williams. You did exactly what God sent you to do - comfort the masses with your gift - and you did it very humbly. He who exalts himself shall be humbled, but HE WHO HUMBLES HIMSELF SHALL BE EXALTED. 🌟
I am here, love all his songs! I watch his videos and listen to his songs every day and before going to bed. May his soul rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him❤.❤❤
Don Willams...your songs follow's me wherever I go, not only listening but leads me to sing a few from his Albums. I am one of those millions of Don's followers since someone introduced me and gave me one of sir Don's album in a cassette tape that time back in 1999 when I was in Taiwan....and still following at this very moment, enjoying the smoothness of "Don Willams" Country Music....Thank you sir Don for your musics🎶🤠❤️🙏🏼
This song, along with Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet, got me through some seriously dark times in my life. The anxiety and pressures I was going through and just listening to them songs dragged me by the scruff of my neck through it all - they just helped keep me reminding that the end of the day was always in sight and I will make it through the next one. To Anyone else struggling with the stresses of the world, tomorrow is untouched - who knows what wonders it'll bring, keep fighting the good fight.
I cannot stop listening to this. I've always really liked Merle's version--he wrote it, after all, and it is Merle's song. However, the first time I heard Don's version, I was stunned. This is beautiful, heartbreaking, perfect. I never thought anyone could outdo Merle, but Don Williams has. WOW!
I love listening to all his country songs too. Yeah, what a pitty thing he's no longevo here to continue sinfín for us. I do really love his soothing voice. One fan of his 10/8/21..😉
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there are some pain I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people
What a beautiful song! I am from Guatemala, one morning when I was just a young man I left for the USA and never returned, almost 30 years later God, my wife, my children, my family and this beautiful country is all I need, but I still dream of one day returning home, saddle my horse and ride around, have a barbecue by the river and restore what was once my home
@@sartainja the hat was a gift from Burt Reynolds after Don co starred in W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings so the story says. I read this years ago and dont doubt it
Omg, honestly I'm touch with your lost, please be strong beautiful angel okay, pls if never mind, I appreciate knowing you more better as a friend, thank you
Great song, music is life as they say, when you are happy or in a good mood, you dance to the sound of the music, but when you are sad, you listen to the lyrics . .
This man was one of the best country singers of all times. He was also one of the best people in all of music. Never a bad word said about him. He will always be missed.
Dedicating this song to the lives lost in the Corona fight all over the world. May this song send you back to our home in heaven. where we shall meet again.
2024 The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell "Let my guitar playing friend do my request" Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets Came to sing a few old gospel songs And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang Could I hear it once before you move along?"

Wow..this is some great stuff here..Don Williams singin one of my favorite Haggard songs. Listening to these ole boys really takes me back to the good old days...when times were bad. Well done & Thank you Don Williams.
Great song, music is life as they say, when you are happy or in a good mood, you dance to the sound of the music, but when you are sad, you listen to the lyrics...
At 70 ! This is my first time hearing Mr.Don Williams...😢i am so touched.i've never heard him.a widowed retired nurse now 🇵🇭 for good ! I love ❤️ him sing...
I used to listen this song last week only. Im in my mid 30s, this song introduced by my bestfriend he's 58 yrs. And he loved don williams song, medyo malungkot lng ang kanta na ito, nakakarelate sya bcoz of his life experience and struggle 😢❤😊
Now this is what Country really is. Old Merle Haggard Classic given such a smooth spin by Legendary Don Williams...where are these great beautiful voices today...Music has become so much noisy over the years...let good music breathe. ..money will follow automatically if marketed properly...
Such a meaningful song. This 60 year old man is tired, alone, and broken. I miss my family and loved ones every day. No one could have sang this great old song about life. R.I.P sir.
When this song was at its height, my sister was 19 years old, dying from cancer. I was 17, and left school to spend a dreary winter with her in a Chicago hospital where they were doing experimental chemo. Late night, we'd order a pizza to be delivered to the ER in the basement, because nobody was allowed on the 8th floor cancer ward that late. We'd ride the elevator down and back, harmonizing this song together. She died too soon after that. I'm in my 70s now, but when I hear this song, I'm 17, in an elevator with great acoustics, holding a pizza, and singing my heart out with my best friend.
I hope you sister အမြန်ဆုံးပျောက်ကင်းပါစေလို့ဆုတောင်းပေးလိုက်ပါတယ်ဗျာ❤❤❤
May her soul rest in peace 🥺💔

Hello Wendy how are you doing today?
I hope you having a blessed day
He’s amazing
*I was born in the 90s and I grew up on all these great songs. My childhood music was the best. Friends in low places and achy breaky heart are my favorite.👍🔥🎶*
Just heard this song for the first time Jan 1, 2023 by channel surfing. I stopped on a random music video channel, and not even 20 seconds in, I was in complete tears and smiling from ear to ear!. I've never had a song invoke so much emotion in me, so fast and so strong. Just writing this comment is making me emotional. What has this song done to me man!.
❤❤❤❤
Good to know I'm glad you know it's a good song
This is still so much better than any of the garbage released in modern country. Love and miss you, Don.
You are right
Modern Country has no right to be called country because it is crap! Give me the likes of Don Williams, Waylon Jennings & Johnny Cash any day.
There's no such thing as country music now...but thank God for the classics like this.... country music died in the 90's ... when Garth Brooks come along and started it's decline to the garbage they want to call country now days
@@williamhutto5708 that's why when I am on Tidal HiFi plus, I only choose to listen the classics and no tune voice. To this day, my most streamed artists are only Enya and Don Williams. Yes, I am 20s . I love the modern music and songs too. But only the true classics can hit my heart most.
Garbage? Uuuch!
Married to the same woman for over fifty years, never in trouble with the law, not a stoner or drunk, Don is almost unique in the music business. Just a "Good Old Southern Boy!" I've followed him since his days with the Pozo Seco Singers in the 60s. Not only do I love his music, I admire the MAN. Truly amazing man. Don brings a LOT to the table. He has written wonderful lyrics, and his voice has soothed millions. Gotta love this guy...
Great Musician...artist and Christian...
I love ear that ... I discover him not long ago after he passed ... seems be a lovely person.
We’ll meet him in the next paradise. God bless you
Merle was In Trouble with the law he is Legend that wrote this Song.
@uprasietube The irony of your reply is lost on me, both Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard were in "trouble with the law" did time in prison and seem to have regretted those bad choices.
This song is written about a man on Death Row.. who starts thinking about how his Mama tried to raise him right? But he chose to go the other path. Both Country Giants Johnny and Merle lived with and had wrestled with drugs alcohol and one with "infidelity. "Sing me Back Home" to those Good Old Days..
Merle had multiple wives and children by different women.
Both Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard had their come to "Jesus moments" before they died.. and were thankful that God is the God of second chances. It's called God's grace, not because of our Good works, but His free gift to those who repent and turn to Jesus.
Apparently the "wild lives of sin and debauchery didn't satisfy either one of them when facing their eternal destiny's?
2023…. I still come back every..single..time to hear this man’s voice. My goodness (shaking my head). Perfect!
I love his voice. It soothes the soul.
Mr 'True' country! We saw him live many times before he died. Always a fabulous show! RIP Don, we miss you!
Aww you were lucky
Even a 20 year old like me knows who country music chose as it's voice. We'll never forget you DW

Hello Deby.. nice meeting you here!👋
Hello ✋,how are you doing Deby??
The gentle giant. His voice is up there with George Jones. Miss his music but I guess it's always here when we need it.
To everyone reading this and listening. Close your eyes, inhale and feel the air in your lungs give life to your beautiful soul. and as you exhale, release the tension in your shoulders, ease the tension in your neck and the back of your head. Allow peace to flow inside of every fiber and vein in your body. You are doing great. No matter what you are going through. You will be just fine. Hugs to you all..
Doesn't get much better than Don Williams. Has stayed true to what Country music is supposed to be.
Bryan Tarjick Agree, he's never been a sell out, he just sits there and sings from the heart.

Alen Jackson is a very talented singer and he has this magical voice and lyrics that I love his songs will never be forgotten in this world 🌎. So tell me since when have you been listening to Jackson songs?
Don Williams is to country music what water is to thirst. You always come back after listening to others because his style is straight from the heart.
So very very true 🤩
Totally agreed with you, you will always come back to listen to more songs
Hi how are you my name is John thomas I'm from California and you?

Don Williams his style of singing is straight from the heart ❤️ R.I.P
Don Williams ' voice is incomparable.
My room when i was young every were you look george michael...still love him❤
Hi
Hi gorgeous 🥰
Don would be 25 years older than I am and I loved him since I was just a kid. Just listening to him sing in his soothing baritone and seeing his total kindness as a human being helped me survive a turbulent childhood and first marriage. May you be blessed with many crowns, Don Williams. You did exactly what God sent you to do - comfort the masses with your gift - and you did it very humbly. He who exalts himself shall be humbled, but HE WHO HUMBLES HIMSELF SHALL BE EXALTED. 🌟

Don Willams...your songs follow's me wherever I go, not only listening but leads me to sing a few from his Albums. I am one of those millions of Don's followers since someone introduced me and gave me one of sir Don's album in a cassette tape that time back in 1999 when I was in Taiwan....and still following at this very moment, enjoying the smoothness of "Don Willams" Country Music....Thank you sir Don for your musics🎶🤠❤️🙏🏼
This song, along with Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet, got me through some seriously dark times in my life. The anxiety and pressures I was going through and just listening to them songs dragged me by the scruff of my neck through it all - they just helped keep me reminding that the end of the day was always in sight and I will make it through the next one. To Anyone else struggling with the stresses of the world, tomorrow is untouched - who knows what wonders it'll bring, keep fighting the good fight.
I pray you're in a more positive place in your life. Stay in the light, dearie ❤
RIP DW....love your music 🎉🎉🎉❤😢
I cannot stop listening to this. I've always really liked Merle's version--he wrote it, after all, and it is Merle's song. However, the first time I heard Don's version, I was stunned. This is beautiful, heartbreaking, perfect. I never thought anyone could outdo Merle, but Don Williams has. WOW!
Sheilah Robin
I totally agree
agree with you sheilah robin.
Sheilah Robin ..likewise only now.. 👍
Yep. I think do too.
I'm 71 yrs old and I've been appreciating his music as far back as I can remember. They don't makin' like this anymore.

This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there are some pain I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people
@@AndyArnold-uz5yoshe is in a better place waiting for you 😊
What a beautiful song!
I am from Guatemala, one morning when I was just a young man I left for the USA and never returned, almost 30 years later God, my wife, my children, my family and this beautiful country is all I need, but I still dream of one day returning home, saddle my horse and ride around, have a barbecue by the river and restore what was once my home
Awesome!!! we are very fortunate to have you here. I wish i could go with you on your return.
I wanna be there for the barbecue
God help
I hope you do get to do it.
God bless you and your family, stay safe. One day you'll be back home like i did..😃
The man wore the same hat until the day he died. There's a lesson in that for anyone who cares to learn!
Waste not, want not.
@@sartainja the hat was a gift from Burt Reynolds after Don co starred in W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings so the story says. I read this years ago and dont doubt it
Look after your hat and your hat will look after you... no wait!! That was in Only Fools And Horses and it was a broom. Hi from London btw...
Just like Dwight Yoakum...Following the right footsteps
My husband died one year ago this week. Don and Emmylou singing If i needed you fills my heart
Omg, honestly I'm touch with your lost, please be strong beautiful angel okay, pls if never mind, I appreciate knowing you more better as a friend, thank you
Great song, music is life as they say, when you are happy or in a good mood, you dance to the sound of the music, but when you are sad, you listen to the lyrics . .

I wish I’d heard this sooner. Great version. Don made this Merle Haggard signature song his own. Love it.
This man was one of the best country singers of all times. He was also one of the best people in all of music. Never a bad word said about him. He will always be missed.

2024
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
"Let my guitar playing friend do my request"
Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along?"
Sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Won't you sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die
😊
Salute
His voice never changed as he aged. That never happens. Such a talent, RIP Don
