I'm only 25 and absolutely love this song! This version is definitely the best.. her voice sounds SO amazing live! Sure I was born in the wrong generation..
Her smile is one of the best I've ever seen. Looks like she really enjoyed this performance. The audience too. I come back every now and then to watch this. Love it.
Billie Jo Spears war einzigartig - Ihre Stimme war der Hammer - Sie hat der Musik und den Menschen so viel gebracht. Ohne Billie Jo Spears gibt es keine Country-Music - Wir verneigen uns vor einer grossen Künstlerin - die leider nicht mehr unter uns weilt !
This song in the mid-70's stayed at No. 1 in the USA for many weeks. One of the biggest Country Hits of the 1970's. I love all of Billie Joe Spears' hits. She was awesome!
For real??? I was wondering if anyone watching now in 2024 if someone seen her live. You lucky duck! I know someone that looks exactly like her in this video. And to meet her? Good for you! 😊
@@ludwigvanosselaer4179 doesn't matter sir .Billie jo was a legend and inspired many other artists too and sadly taken from us prematurely..Her name went before her.RIP my darling..hope this sorts your query and subsequent questions etc..Kind regards Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🎄🎄
I’m so pleased to see Bille Jo enjoying herself and receiving the respect from the audience that she deserved. I think this is one of the best country songs of all time.
This women was such a beautiful singer, and person. Her voice and story telling was 2nd to none. We so need a voice like your today. I loved growing up listening to your music. Thank you
Me too! I think, I was about 9 years old, when it was released, and I loved it right away! A 9-year old Danish girl loving an American country song, that is not common! But I did and that love has never died. Today I'm 50 and I still love listening to Billie Jo's rusty voice. She was really special!
was always smiling, and this is a song that I can listen to over and over........ect, the body may no longer be here but her soul will live on forever.
I wish those in the USA would have appreciated the talent of this beautiful singer. She had a unique voice and her presence just made you smile. Even when she sang sad songs, she made you feel it. Thanks for posting.
Come and look out through the window The big old moon is shinin' down Tell me now don't it remind you Of a blanket on the ground Remember back when love first found us We'd go slippin' out of town And we'd love beneath the moonlight On a blanket on the ground Chorus I'll get the blanket from the bedroom And we'll go walkin' once again To the spot down by the river Where our sweet love first began Just because we are married Don't mean we can't slip around So let's walk out through the moonlight And lay the blanket on the ground Oh remember how excited We used to get when love was young That old moon was our best buddy We couldn't wait for night to come Now you know you still excite me I know you love me like I am Just once more I wish you love me On the blanket on the ground Chorus I'll get the blanket from the bedroom And we'll go walkin' once again To that spot down by the river Where our sweet love first began Just because we our married Don't mean we can't slip around So let's walk out through the moonlight And lay the blanket on the ground.
She was a great lady loved her music another country music great from Beaumont Texas just like Benny Barnes George Jones Tracy Byrd and Mark Chestnut Southeast Texas can be proud of our standouts in music and professional football men along with a lot of good drag racers hello buddy dominque

RIP sweet lady thank you for this great song with your amazing voice & all your other music you left us , it will not die 7-17-21
Great song and sung by a queen , brings back so much memories , thank you .
One of the greatest female country singers there will ever be.
Loved Billie Jo's music so great....
good old country,!! , loved from a kid , 70s,! , born 1968,!
Americans never fully recognized this angel's talents. Europe did. The Queen Mother Of Country Music the Brits called her & I agree, (& I'm American).
+Harold Martin: American music industry is greedy, lots of hits come from Uk, Europe, Germany and most often dont even hit the Us !
Amen, god bless y’all 💀🔥❤️
OUTSTANDING ! LOVE HER ! RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY

When did die
She was ONE of kind. Voice with so much inflection and emotion in everything she sang about. They do not have voices like this today.
Went to see her in concert and she was amazing, the happy bubbly person you see in this video. Had the pleasure of meeting her after the show.
For real??? I was wondering if anyone watching now in 2024 if someone seen her live. You lucky duck! I know someone that looks exactly like her in this video. And to meet her? Good for you! 😊
This song is very addictive and so JOYFUL. RIP to her
wow. brings back memories in my old chev. we are married 40 years now. from south africa. still love her so much.
I love this number and she looked so well back then. RIP Billie Joe...

Who in their right mind can dislike this song????
Come and look out through the window
The big old moon is shinin' down
Tell me now don't it remind you
Of a blanket on the ground
Remember back when love first found us
We'd go slippin' out of town
And we'd love beneath the moonlight
On a blanket on the ground
Chorus
I'll get the blanket from the bedroom
And we'll go walkin' once again
To the spot down by the river
Where our sweet love first began
Just because we are married
Don't mean we can't slip around
So let's walk out through the moonlight
And lay the blanket on the ground
Oh remember how excited
We used to get when love was young
That old moon was our best buddy
We couldn't wait for night to come
Now you know you still excite me
I know you love me like I am
Just once more I wish you love me
On the blanket on the ground
Chorus
I'll get the blanket from the bedroom
And we'll go walkin' once again
To that spot down by the river
Where our sweet love first began
Just because we our married
Don't mean we can't slip around
So let's walk out through the moonlight
And lay the blanket on the ground.
Beautiful woman, a beautiful song.
One classy lady with a beautiful smile and great voice. RIP
