My mother of 93 years passed this Mother's Day. This song has been a Godsend. Has helped me to grieve. Listening to it daily. My father died in 2005. His name was Lyle, same as Mr. Lovett. Thank you Jamie Lin.
The mark of real talent is not in record sales (yes I'm old school) but when you wish you could listen to someone sing for hours and never be satisfied. Jamie is that rare real talent.
Best version of this song I've ever heard. This version clears up "what" the Rick Rubin approach is. It's perfect, just an artist with a great voice, a guitar and some errant wind chimes.
My dad always acted like he didn't care much for me. This is a sweet way for a memory to be described. I was not acknowledged but my brother and sisters were. Just a black sheep I guess. This is beautiful ❤
I Love This! Jamie's love and passion for music just jump off of the screen at you! Warms my heart! Keep up the good work Jamie. You cannot possibly know how much we appreciate your music and just how very much it means to us fans!
There is a smile in your eyes that is only seen in your front porch songs. I would love to spend an afternoon on that swing listening to you sing (and play).
This is one of the songs that can bring tears to my husband's eyes due to his love of the realness of these lyrics. Its a joy to see someone else love it as much.. especially someone who I love to hear sing! Do you, Boo!!
This is my favorite song, too. And Lyle's rendition of it is perfect. But Guy Clark wrote it. (He sang the refrain at the beginning and end of Lyle's version on "It’s Not Big It’s Large.")
👏👏👏👏👏👏 😇🙏😇🙏🎶🎶 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 God Bless You, Jamie Lin... That was Spectacular... So Heartfelt and So Pure - I sing, and You Touched My Soul!!! Keep sharing Your Beautiful Gift!!! The World NEEDS You!!! Birds, Windchime Confirmations, and All!!!! 🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗❤❤
i like this more every time i hear it. Some people just like to piss down wind in there own fire . nothing but a thing girl . love all your stuff . & the Modern Trade videos are also priceless . Keep em, coming .
Sou brasilero, nao falo inglês...I speak just some frases,I like so much,very much of the cowtry gospel.gosto do cowtry norte americano especialmente sendo gospel.🎼🎼🎵🎵🎸🎻🎻
I had such a huge smile on my face when you said this was your favorite song and when you said it was perfect because that's exactly how I feel. When I feel in any way sad or lonely or thoughtful or whatever, I play this song. It fills me with happiness.
There is something wild and heavy about those raised around here in south Texas.......Maybe you love harder and stronger when the wild and heavy end is just around the corner......
How on earth did JL Wilson get the wind chimes to provide background? Thank you for posting Jamie Lin. Never heard Lyle's version so your's will remain my original.
Great job on one of my favorite songs! When you started singing, I got chills. I was stationed at Beeville Naval Station in 1974-75. I got infected by Texas music while there. Happily, there is no cure. p.s. those unruly wind chimes were a nice outro.
Thank you. I just fell a little bit in love. It'd be great to hear you do some of Iris DeMent's songs, and some of The Be Good Tanyas', too! I'd trade songs with you anytime.
You have an amazing voice, great song choice and bringing this all together on your front porch with wind chimes in the background is just perfect. Thank you for posting this!
. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl The three in the front seat, they sat on each side That green and white '58 Fairlane It would drive down farm roads past open fields Seeming like no big deal As it was happening I never felt a thing But now looking back it seems like it was everything Singing with mom just so we could hear ourselves sing Stealin' a drink from the cold can in daddy's lap Protected by only a small thin brown paper sack And the wind blew the echoes of long faded voices And they'd sing me a song that the old cowboys sang And I didn't know what the words meant or anything I was just singing because I was supposed to St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl And with the windows wide open, it felt hot to us anyway We three bound together on a day just like any day They told me and taught me and showed me and bought me Whatever I wanted from the corner you told them You said the name Corpus Christi means the body of Jesus Pronounce it Refugio city folks they don't know It looks like Palacios but sounds like the lashes Just listen the next time you watchin', Sid Lasher And the wind blew the echoes of long faded voices And they would sing me a song that the old cowboys sang And I didn't know what the words meant or anything I was just singing St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl And I didn't know what the words meant or anything I was just singing Now these days the car seats and open container laws Show sure correctness, leaves no room for Santa Claus Sitting right next to me she looks like that used be Song that they sang for me And with the windows wide open, it feels right to us anyway The two bound together on a day just like any day The wind blows the echoes of long faded voices And they sing us a song that the old cowboys sang And now that I know what the words mean and everything I'm still singing St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we stumble around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl As the undying love of a South Texas girl St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl
My wife and sister in law went on a week end re-treat and called me , said they spent the day at a festival and heard someone named Jamie Wilson singing !!!! I sent them this video of South Texas Girl 👍. Now you have gained 2 more fans and I may go with them next year 😂
Watched and listened to everything you do with or without the Trishas. You close your eyes when you sing serious songs. I wonder what your minds eye sees as you sing and play.
If I only had six minutes and ten seconds of internet access a year, I would watch and listen to this song. Every year.
Lord, this girl has pipes.
“ I heard the birds singing praises to to God in the background...”🙏
Jamie Lin, how could anyone be more fantastic and real than you.
Love the wind chimes, perfect!
I still contend that she should put all of these "front porch sessions" on an alblum.... then sell me a copy
Josh Seaver. Yep..
I'd buy one.
I agree. She has charisma and with that personality and being a very likable lady with tremendous talent, the album would sell itself.
I could almost mute the video ,and watch her singing
I'd buy one sure
God or no god - this is a beautiful song and a powerfuf performance. Thanks so much.
with wind chime accompaniment and finale...….that was awesome...
Growing up in an oil camp near Freer .This song brought back many good memories.Thank you Jamie and Lyle

Let's not forget John Lennon.

This is beautiful ❤
SINGS A MIX OF COUNTRY & FOLK MUSIC
May be her voice, may be her countenance, may be the words of the song, may be the memories these things evoke... I cried
Those trained birds were amazing.
She's feeling it... no doubt. Very nice.

Brought a tear to my eye.
Love this song - great version.
My wife’s from Castroville. She’s my South Texas Girl and has been for almost 30 years.
She sings it like she's lived it. We all have in some way, but this is very heartfelt.
i love you jamie lin. thanks for bringing God back in my life
I enjoy your music, especially watching you sing it. The closet, trailer and the porch great job 😊
What a happy and beautiful accident that I stumbled upon this today. Way Grateful!
I would listen to you sing the safety warnings on a step ladder.
That's the best comment I've heard a musician get. 🤘
Jamie never misses.
Dear Jaime,
Praying for you and all of the people in South Texas.....singing is praying twice....
Houston Chronicle review of Todd Sniders live show brought me here. Thanks.
what a song! first time I have ever heard it
Cool song good Texas music 🎶😊😂😊🇷🇺😉
"It's just perfect", Yes it is a perfect song and you really are the perfect girl to sing it...WONDERFUL singing Jamie... :-)
This is one of the songs that can bring tears to my husband's eyes due to his love of the realness of these lyrics. Its a joy to see someone else love it as much.. especially someone who I love to hear sing! Do you, Boo!!
Nice words. I know how your husband feels.
This is my favorite song, too. And Lyle's rendition of it is perfect. But Guy Clark wrote it. (He sang the refrain at the beginning and end of Lyle's version on "It’s Not Big It’s Large.")
This Canyon Lake boy caught himself a Bulverde girl and this song is forever embedded in our lives. Great cover Jamie.
Sing it, girl.
👏👏👏👏👏👏

I agree with you completely she has such a beautiful soulful voice and she sings this song with so much heart....
Ciao Wilson canti molto bene, le canzoni country che a me piacciono moltissimo.
I love this tune and play it often at open mics. Your version has become my favourite.
Sweet...I can smell and feel the texas life .
The wind chimes....
How'd she do that?
Ms. Wilson, thank you. Sincerely.
You MUST record this, Jamie. Exceptional version of a magnificent song.
Agreed
Stay tuned. ❤️

She is really one of musics hidden jems.
She is!!
One of my favorite songs. And you do it beautifully. Glad I stumbled into you.
Beautifully done. Looked like you got something in your eye near the end. Think I got the same thing in mine...
This is the most beautiful music I have heard.
Your smile is angelic!!!
Can't get enough Jamie Lin😍
Sou brasilero, nao falo inglês...I speak just some frases,I like so much,very much of the cowtry gospel.gosto do cowtry norte americano especialmente sendo gospel.🎼🎼🎵🎵🎸🎻🎻
Good of her to tackle a great LL song. Great stand alone performance! Love the wind chimes, part of live music
I hope Lyle hears your cover. By the way, he wrote "this old porch" too...
I had such a huge smile on my face when you said this was your favorite song and when you said it was perfect because that's exactly how I feel. When I feel in any way sad or lonely or thoughtful or whatever, I play this song. It fills me with happiness.
incredible
I really enjoyed that. Gonna have to learn this one for my own
porch.
Hope you're still singing ❤️❤️❤️
i love you so much
Amazing voice and lady
There is something wild and heavy about those raised around here in south Texas.......Maybe you love harder and stronger when the wild and heavy end is just around the corner......
God bless love this
Hello from clarendon tx

'Twas an angel, passing nigh …
I find myself watching the "porch sessions" time and again. Love your version of this song.
wind chime perfect time , cowboys callin'.
You are awesome
That smile can light up a room and lighten a burden.
I love your voice... I wasn't excepting that hearing you talking in the beginning, it took me by surprise.
Great job on one of my favorite songs! When you started singing, I got chills. I was stationed at Beeville Naval Station in 1974-75. I got infected by Texas music while there. Happily, there is no cure.
p.s. those unruly wind chimes were a nice outro.
Very nice❤

So incredible beautiful... A rare gem.
I have to agree that this is probably the perfect song -- but doesn't "Road to Ensenada" at least come in a close second? Great job. :-)
She is fabulous, reminds me of Nancy Griffith!
yes me too
criminally underviewed
Great! Keep up the good works!
It's just perfect...:)
. Mother Maria, watch over us please
As we wander around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
The three in the front seat, they sat on each side
That green and white '58 Fairlane
It would drive down farm roads past open fields
Seeming like no big deal
As it was happening I never felt a thing
But now looking back it seems like it was everything
Singing with mom just so we could hear ourselves sing
Stealin' a drink from the cold can in daddy's lap
Protected by only a small thin brown paper sack
And the wind blew the echoes of long faded voices
And they'd sing me a song that the old cowboys sang
And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
I was just singing because I was supposed to
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please
As we wander around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
And with the windows wide open, it felt hot to us anyway
We three bound together on a day just like any day
They told me and taught me and showed me and bought me
Whatever I wanted from the corner you told them
You said the name Corpus Christi means the body of Jesus
Pronounce it Refugio city folks they don't know
It looks like Palacios but sounds like the lashes
Just listen the next time you watchin', Sid Lasher
And the wind blew the echoes of long faded voices
And they would sing me a song that the old cowboys sang
And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
I was just singing
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please
As we wander around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
I was just singing
Now these days the car seats and open container laws
Show sure correctness, leaves no room for Santa Claus
Sitting right next to me she looks like that used be
Song that they sang for me
And with the windows wide open, it feels right to us anyway
The two bound together on a day just like any day
The wind blows the echoes of long faded voices
And they sing us a song that the old cowboys sang
And now that I know what the words mean and everything
I'm still singing
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please
As we wander around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please
As we stumble around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please
As we wander around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please
As we wander around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
very nice cover of a song i like a lot.
Are you per chance a South Texas girl?
💥💥💖💖💥💥💖💖💥💥💪💪
Wow - That was really great.
My wife and sister in law went on a week end re-treat and called me , said they spent the day at a festival and heard someone named Jamie Wilson singing !!!! I sent them this video of South Texas Girl 👍. Now you have gained 2 more fans and I may go with them next year 😂
Nice!
You are so good !!
Don’t know why but I want a duet with her and Damien Rice....think it would be epic
Ciao sei fantastica, con le tue canzone...
Watched and listened to everything you do with or without the Trishas. You close your eyes when you sing serious songs. I wonder what your minds eye sees as you sing and play.
oh my goodness
sing mother maria!
