Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful man! Vern is the real thing. God bless Vern Gosdin and may he rest in peace for an epoch then wake up and be happy.
It's sad, I'm 31, I was raised on Vern & stuff like this, I bet you these country stars today couldn't even tell you who this man is. It's sad this video has less than 3,000 views, yet the trash they call country now has millions. I'm afraid people today, even people my age, have strayed so far from the beaten path of country music, that they will never find their way back home.
Nathan, well-stated and so true. This song is the quintessence of country music. The only stuff I listen to is from the early 90's and before. Vince Gill, George Jones & Johnny Cash were some of the true purists of this musical form. I fear it has been ruined by the pretty boys and flashy stuff these new artists(?) try to pass off as country. It's not the same. It doesn't have the emotion and power of those who came before and have now passed on to the great beyond, (except, thankfully, for VG)..
@@tpage6 check ua-cam.com/video/l11oCvBxnQ0/v-deo.html it's the essence of country music, it goes side by side with "wil the circle..."and other country classics. Vince is the man!
Hank Cochran once called Vern Gosdin the most underrated star to ever wander into Nashville... 2 legends with more talent than 100 "country stars" today! And then there's Dean Dillon... nuff said.
I cry everytime I listen to this song..We had my husband's name chisled in stone 19yrs. ago after 32 yrs of marriage, so vern we all can relate to those looooong nights and how lonely life can you speak of..
Vern had a special way to talk to the listeners he had. It was simply like a story folks; just taste the lyrics of the song and you would stand a chance of learning Vern Gosdin. He truly was such a special person…glad I had the opportunity to hear him as he yielded out the words. We miss you Mr. Gosdin; don’t know if we’ll ever hear the likes of you again Sir. Hope and pray I’ll see and meet you in heaven.
A sound impossible to duplicate. One of the greatest. I actually got to meet him once as a young teenager. Always grateful my father took me to see him live. It was the late 80s I think it was during this time.
Anything Vern Gosdin is the best. I fell in love in love with him from day 1. I use to tell my mom that he was my love even though he was 14 years old. Didn’t care. I still love him at 73 and have everything Vern
So glad i got to spend some time with Vern before he passed, after id been in Nashville a couple years I met him at hotel preston, he was so very cool, had just got outta the hospital, he played on stage with me that night, and invited me to a couple other things he was a part of that week, through him I got to meet a couple other of my heros as well.....such a down to earth awesome talent. RIP. To vern, the most underated talent in country music.

Well been listening to longer 65 years old still song bothering me because aunt murder July 4 1980 mom passed away November 11 2003 wife October 27 2018 married on her birthday bring back memories longer go
where have I been only came across this singer recently. I have never heard his name mentioned or songs played here in England. But I am making up for lost time and he has got to have been underrated in America. He sings brilliant songs and sings with such feeling. Love him!
Jamey Johnson led me here. Sadly, I had never heard of Vern Gosdin until I started learning to play Set Em Up Joe (I thought Jamey Johnson wrote it LOL)...All I can say is WOW, what a voice..Jamey's version is pretty darn good, but it pales in comparison to the real deal from Ole Vern..I'm sure he would agree...
Ole Vern.. I put him up there with George Jones and just a few others with that voice that will make you turn your head toward the stage if you aren't lookin... That man was blessed with a voice from heaven. RIP Vern Gosdin.
HARD TIMES COME AGAIN NO MORE Stephen Foster Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears, While we all sup sorrow with the poor; There's a song that will linger forever in my ears; Oh Hard times come again no more. Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, Hard Times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; Oh hard times come again no more. While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay, There are frail forms fainting at the door; Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say Oh hard times come again no more. Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, Hard Times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; Oh hard times come again no more. There's a pale weeping man who toils his life away, With a worn heart whose better days are o'er: Though his voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day, Oh hard times come again no more. Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, Hard Times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; Oh hard times come again no more. Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave, Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave Oh hard times come again no more. Hi My sister Anne died from burns before I was born. She was 4 years of age. My mother was pregnant with my brother, Aidan at the time; a very traumatic time for mother AND child. This was 1947. I was born in 1950. My family consisted of 6 girls and five boys. My mother died in 1971 from cancer of the spine, aged 56 and my father died in 1975, from Congestive heart-failure. My brother Patrick was the victim of a hit & run, in 1981, causing massive head injuries, resulting in his committal to a psychiatric hospital for the rest of his life. There was no long-stay unit anywhere for brain damaged patients. My brother Aidan and I visited him in the hospital nightly for 25 years. My sister Theresa was found dead in 2005 from an asthmatic attack. Patrick died in 2006 from the effects of MRSA infection. Maria died in 2007 from cancer of the lungs and Aidan died in 2008 from suicide. He couldn't fill the emotional gap left after Patrick's death. I on the other hand started drinking heavy and the result was Diabetes and Diabetic neuropathy in both feet. My best friend, Joe, died in 2009 from a heart attack. My sister-in-law died in 2011 from a brain tumour. My sister Clare died in 2013 from breast cancer. My niece, Annette, died in 2016 from breast cancer and my sister Phyllis died of cancer 10pm 27/8/2017. She was aged 64 and died of cancer of the liver, which was very painful. She put off going into the hospice for the fear of knowing there was no coming out once she went in. But it was a mistake, for she suffered not having 24/7 care. She was miserable and finally decided to go to the hospice. There she received the best of care 24/7 and was pain-free.
@@americafuckyea2789 Been awhile, doubt if he will see my comment but got to me too. We were both born 1950, I feel for him. Have no idea why he experienced so much tragedy in his life but evidently he is a survivor, I pray the Almighty directs his steps to the end. We all eventually get there. May YEHOVAN have mercy on us all and lead us into righteousness no matter what comes our way
I GOT TO MEET HIM AT THE YELLOW ROSE AND HE OFFERED TO BUY ME A DRANK AND I TURNED HIM DOWN AND BOUGHT HIM TWO ALONG WITH MY SEVERAL BUT I SWEAR HE WAS DOWN TO EARTH WITH ME AND COOL AS HE COULD BE I MISS HIM SO MUCH RIP MY FRIEND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AS WELL MY FRIEND LOVE ALL HIS SONGS
This song sung by Vern Gossett it's beautiful I know the meaning the feeling too it never goes away Cuts Plum through and buried my send Jonathan 3 years ago and I miss him every single day some days I just talked to Jesus and stay in the house don't even go out knowing when I go out my front door there sets the boat that he gave me for Father's Day there is the plant that he planted in my fence row there's a tire swing hanging in the backyard he played on years ago that rocks from time to time on its own so I know he's still here I never got to say goodbye he was killed by a drunk driver I dug his grave in Kentucky and I covered him up too these were his wishes I remember him saying Dad don't let them steal my casket which wins Funeral Home out of Cave City Kentucky buried him they would not have stole his casket but I stayed right there with him and just did it myself at least I know it was done right I don't believe John you get to read texts in heaven but if you do this one is for you Daddy loves you with all these heart I miss you everyday someday we will stand together again in bowler heads to pray I love you baby with all my heart and Vern Gossett you too are going away to heaven and this we know there's a heaven they've got you so you stuck you in his choir so you can sing yes he keeps us together amen I miss you John PS please people if you are going to drink it drink responsibly because if I see you with a beer in your hand behind the wheel you're going to jail that's a god-given promise too I have got 25 on my list already they went away bye love you John that's for you too buddy

can't stand today's country, I always listen to the old stuff.
I'd rank Vern right up there with George Jones as one of the greatest singers of all time!
The voice...mr Gosdin may he be resting easy with George Conway Loretta Earl Thomas Keith and all the other greats who have left us.
Gives me cold chills every single time!!! His voice was pure magic!!!!
Even 65 still cry when hear song
Love this song and this man..I was raised on this music and there is nothing like it..

I idolized this man and his music as a child. Tore my heart up when he died. True country music.

My late husband loved Vern Gosdin
This ol boy is what you call the real deal
The voice folks that's my kind of country music
While everyone was listening to New Kids On The Block and Kris Kross back in the day I as a 12yo girl was listening to this amazing man.
Great taste in music!
Gotta cry every time. Just laid my wife's footstone after 53 great years together. Now it's just chiseled in stone 😢
I’m so sorry for your pain Sir, and Thankful you had 53 yrs. ❤️ to you.

I understand Sugar and if you had been my wife it would not have bothered me at all long as you kept loving me!
Vern and haggard and Jones and Twitty most unique voices in country period
Agree
Great voice, great song for any generation.
I still miss you, my friend! I know you're still up there singing with the angels. Until we meet again...

Wow! So fine, so real. Maybe the best performance of this superb song ever caught on tape. Vern Gosdin, absolutely the best.
Love Vern Gosdin
How could I have forgotten this song? It was one of my absolute all-time favorites. Thanks for the reminder. I just loved this voice. 😢
Such good music
where have I been only came across this singer recently. I have never heard his name mentioned or songs played here in England. But I am making up for lost time and he has got to have been underrated in America. He sings brilliant songs and sings with such feeling. Love him!
Paula Ivens possibly the most underrated country music singer ever. even George Jones rated Vern as 1 of the best
He is "The Voice". One of the greatest voices in country music history
Real Country Music!
I love the man and still love to sing his gospel songs here at my church in Costa Mesa, Ca
captures the very depths of " Lonely "
Ole Vern could sing boy! Dad gummit

Love Vern
Well big fan love music sing heart many ways I am 65

This life is just a veil of what lies beyond...
...there is zero good reason to believe that...
Perfect
I Love this song and love Vern 🥰
There will NEVER be another one like Vern. That’s why he was called “The Voice”.
Whenever Leonard and I fussed I would run to my sweet Mae. She was my shelter from the storm. I know about sadness
Solid Kountry Gold!
Near 50 yo Swede here for the excellent music. Couldn't agree more than most comments below.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just leave the bottle on the table….I’ll be here till closing.
Why can't nashville release songs like this nowadays?
...they can...they just don't...
cause they ain't no more VERN GOSDINS!

HARD TIMES COME AGAIN NO MORE
Stephen Foster
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in my ears;
Oh Hard times come again no more.
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.
There's a pale weeping man who toils his life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though his voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh hard times come again no more.
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.
Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh hard times come again no more.
