... and I'm still watchin' this video Melba Montgomery. It travels through my body with goosebumps every time!! Well hi there Mr Bill Anderson & friends too!! Oh how I love Melba doing this song. She is the real deal of Country music. xx
I always loved Melba's songs and when you add it all up what would we do without the loving heart of all the mothers in this world. What awesome lyrics sung by a beautiful lady. Thanks Yankee 1830.
I met Melba at Pete Drake's studio and subsequently the piece her story from George Jones duets on in Country Music magazine, back in the 70s. Dottie West, Sammi Smith, Anita Carter and Melba were the finest voices back then, and never received the recognition they deserved. It was still a man's world.. Melba's finest song was Sorrels' Pickard's 'Country Written Up And Down Her Face'. The finest talent doesn't always get what it deserves. And none of that wonderful four ever did.
I just met Melba today while taping a episode of the Marty Stuart show in Nashville, what a lovely and gracious lady. Country music should embrace these kind of artist and treasure them like grandmas old bible.
I had the wonderful opportunity of talking to her on the phone a few years back. She is a wonderfully sweet lady. I agree, Country Music should reach out and treasure these wonderful artists while they still have them.
Its been a long time since I heard this song and it is more wonderful today than ever. I wonder as i listened to it -- would most kids in our country today even stop long enough to listen to the answer -- say nothing of appreciate it?
As I watched this,(and this is the 1st time I've ever seen Melba Montgomery),I see that I'm not the only one crying !!! The 1st time that I played this on my College Radio Show, I got a phone call from a man who asked me if I could play it again for his wife when she got home in a couple of hours. Of course I did. He called back and thanked me and said they both could'nt stop crying either. THANK YOU MELBA
please look on here at the one with the video with the little boy. I lost my 23 year old son in 2012. I share this in a support group . I send it to Mom's.
hi yankee I heard this song by melba a long time ago it broke me up as I'm a sentimental old twonk I vowed never to listen to it again but tonight is an exception the reason being I saw her & charly louvin sing I think ill go somewhere & cry my self to sleep well she put her whole heart into that song & won me over I played it on u/tube every night but just recently I cant find it can you please help me find it I'm sure it was on the same show as your post as I remember old hank garland siting there.it just seems to have disappeared .
Great song. As another commenter mentions, the version with the little boy and the mom in the kitchen is better. Is that Charley Pride in the audience at 0:45? Also, who is the man in the audience that appears right after Charley Pride? He's in another video by Joey & Rory Feek called The Bible & The Belt" in which they're playing in a similar kind of venue (see 1:12 in that video). And finally, is that Roseanne Cash at about 2:27? Just wondering.
Everyone please watch the video by Dolci Rachel. Grab some Kleenex. She put this song to pictures. I lost my son 2012. I sob when I watch this. It is therapy for the soul.I have it on my playlist if not you will see a little boy on the pic with the song you tube.
my pappy came in drunk one night and fell into my ole bedroom and done a big smelly shite next to it he left a note sayin NO CHARGE. they were happier times
Wait, so there is no charge for doing what a parent is I dunno, supposed to do? What, you want praise for gestating your kid that you chose to have, for taking care of the little human being in a way that needs to be done? No wonder this was recommend on a forum about narcissists. This is hilarious and sad, especially because of the people praising it. Like the music fine, but the lyrics? Narcissists anthem. Thank you, will definitely share this to show the mentality.
aGwEENapple I thought she was saying I don't ask you to owe me anything because I love you instead. A sort of guilt trip. I know the song is meant to be sweet, but I sadly know a rather large group of people who justify the lyrics as guilt trips for children.
Vixx Celacea lol I would've never thought she was "guilting" a child. A "child" comes to me holding some paper like that I'm smacking it to the ground. Lol
Hard to find a dry eye. Love this performance of this song, the emotions.....

The song is Epic

Such a delightful way to teach a child the real meaning of love.

A perfect song for Mothers Day. She's awesome!!!
If you're a parent you know how special and true this song really is. as I am a parent and know this to be true.
One of the most beautiful women to ever grace a country music stage.

Just one of my most favorite songs ever💗💓💗💓

Check out her duet with George Jones, titled "We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds"

WOW What A Touching song and done so well By Melba Montgomery, I
Yeah.. this made me CRY.... very touching one
Told by a wonderful talented mother............No Charge.
love this song
sad to say that some people do not get the message that this song delivers so sad that they never understand it
This made me cry too, although perhaps for the wrong reasons ...
please look on here at the one with the video with the little boy. I lost my 23 year old son in 2012. I share this in a support group . I send it to Mom's.
Happy Mother's Day ♥
If that don't tug the heart strings, you don't have one.
some people don't have heart strings, militant feminists for example

Woody Wheeler Bill Anderson after charley pride, and no not Roseanne cash. Cheryl White of the trio the Whites
I totally agree, Tammy Wynett is the best.

She's just saying her child doesn't owe her because she loves them.

Vixx Celacea All it would be teaching a child is money shouldn't be your goal for everything. That's a good thing.
aGwEENapple
I agree with that, I just don't agree that the song brings this across.
Vixx Celacea lol I would've never thought she was "guilting" a child. A "child" comes to me holding some paper like that I'm smacking it to the ground. Lol
Zo niet de beste toch wel een één van de beste versies van deze song.
Sorry to say , but that honstly sucked!
