I cry every time I hear this beautiful little song. What brilliant lyrics! What heartbreaking melody. Yes, I wonder if he ever heard these words. O lord, o my..

My son and his wife had a little baby girl born on the night Jerry Jeff died. They named her Wren. I call her Little Bird. First time I got to hold her I took her in my arms and sang her this song. Tried not to get the tears on her. RIP JJW, you will never die.

I have always thought that this was one of the greatest songs ever, so much intense emotion and sadness, and so few people seem to appreciate it. But thank you.

I WISH he would have come around there back when I was at the U of A in the mid 1970s!

The paths our lives could have taken . . . This song expresses that sense of loss better than any other.

THANK YOU for posting this!
I love ALL versions of this song, but Lloyd is THE master of his craft!
Damn, NOBODY can make it 'ring' and 'cry' like he can!

[@guychoate2905]

Live from Gruene Hall is the best version ever cut. So much emotion. Simple, beautiful song.

RIP Texas legend.

[@debbyledbetter4434]

A bit nostalgic lately, JJW is but one of those many TX memories, TVZ, Gary P Nunn, Lightnin Hopkins, ok I'll stop for now! Thanks Jerry

I'm finishing a gig at the Snow King Resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Jerry Jeff was coming in. Wish I could of stayed another night and caught his act, but the shows must go on!

RIP Jerry Jeff

Jerry was sort of twisted to the right during this performance. I wonder if Lloyd didn't know the chords, and Jerry made sure he could see them.
