- This song, from Tom T. Hall's 1973 album "Rhymer and Other Five and Dimers" was never released as a single. The song was written by songwriting legend Billy Joe Shaver and has been covered by several other country artists including Shaver himself, Waylon Jennings, Emmylou Harris and Jerry Jeff Walker. It could be argued, but Tom T. Hall's vocal style probably suits this song best.
Vocals: Tom T. Hall
Words & Music: Billy Joe Shaver
Original Album: Rhymers and Other Five and Dimers (Mercury Records - 1973)
The older I get , the more I relate to this song. God Bless you Billy Joe Shaver.
Waylon brought me here...What a talented man Tom T Hall really was.
One of the greats.
RIP Tom T. We lose another of the greats that added their own depth and soul to this particular tune--Waylon, Billy Joe, and now Storyteller Tom T Hall. Gonna miss you Hoss
A mountain of talent on many levels. I will miss him.

Once upon a long time ago in a galaxy far far away there were troubadours who put pen to paper and wrote country music.
Desiree Billy Joe S HAVER did a great job writing this song .
Yesiree

Magnifique chanson, l'interpretation de Tom T. Hall est ma préférée.

You can be proud of this gentleman :-)
Thoughtful. Reflective. Very Tom T.
Love him
Tom t. Is one of the best
I've never met Tom T. Hall, I went to every show he did in our area, but I never met the man. I don't think my dad ever met him either, so it's absolutely mind boggling to me how he got him portrayed in this song every time I hear it I see him in my mind. I miss him lots.
Harvey Hyland; It's a great song, but Billy Joe Shaver wrote it
Could you give me the lyrics for ol' fiveand dimers like me
I remember when 5 and 10 cents would buy something !
5 cents bought me a Hershey bar when I was in the single digits.
A g singer songwriter and a true genius
God Bless Billy Joe but nobody could tell a story like the old storyteller... even when it wasn't his story.
although i'm an old fella, i'm a new fan of TOM T HALL
This Billy Joe Shaver song, famously covered by Waylon Jennings, is also perfect for Tom T Hall
The sound is the true cut of the original thanx fer postin I love this set ... ^5 Stavo!!!
I think Waylon Jennings version is the best !!!!! He should of done it live more often.
RIP BJS
Jerry Jeff did this song really well also.
When Tom T. lost his wife it destroyed him is my belief. Suicide at 85 is so sad!
Having seen emphysema in real life in 2 grandfathers, I am certain it was the emphysema that was the final straw. One of the most hideous diseases or illness one can have, even worse than cancer.

Its too bad he didn't sing more of Bill Joe's songs.
The young Tom T. bears a resemblance to Sam Kinnison, the late great comedian.
Monty Jay lol the last great comedian.
yes this would be my eight track when it would still play ill just get kathy rosenblaths husband to rewind it
and put it in a new case
Tom T. Hall is the man. However.....Jerry Jeff's version is the definitive. This rendering is a bit too slow.
Tom T. is the man. However, his version is too slow....almost tired. Jerry Jeff rocks it the way it should be. Just one guy's opinion.
i like this song but i find it annoying
Don't listen to it then
