    I love the line "The only thing you take is what you gave away" And I would bet Grandpa took a lot with him.

    If not for UA-cam, satellite radio and the internet radio sites, you would not be able to hear this music anywhere. Grandpa used to do this kind of stuff on "Hee Haw" all the time with Kenny Price, Roy Clark and various others. Classic country must remain to educate future generations that there is more to music than what is presented on modern radio and TV. RIP Louis "Grandpa" Jones and his wife Ramona

    Thanks to the internet, and sites like UA-cam, we can hear music that WE decide is good - regardless of what any record company executive thinks. I've heard so much good music, both old clips from the greats like this one of Grandpa Jones, and clips of unknowns who can now be heard.

    The One, the Only Grandpa Jones. I first heard this song by Billy Walker. I had to learn it .Grandpa Jones was one of the truly great country songwriters.

    I 1st heard this song in 1965 while headed from Columbia,SC to Jax, Fl, I was in my 1955 Chrysler St Regis, going to see my fiancé back then. I picked it up on some radio station that played variety music & thought it odd that they'd play this song. I liked it & all these years later rediscovered it here. Strange but true.

    The first time I heard Grandpa Jones was in 1955 on a Jukebox in rural Montana. His song was "I like blueberry pie says I". What a delightful performer, only laughs and smiles.

    I was looking for something else when I happened on this and decided to listen to it. Sure glad that I did. The last line is priceless.

    one of the best artists that old time country ever had. Also Grandpa was almost single handedly responsible for keeping the banjo as a viable instrument in Country Music in the 30's and 40's. If it hadn't been for Grandpa, Bluegrass as we know it today might not exist!

    This is one of my favorite songs by Grandpa. There is a real message in this song. As others have said it's so sad that country music has taken a bad road and we don't hear enough of this music on todays radio

    One of the true legends of Country Music! Grandpa had that aire about him that just made you sit back, get comfortable, and enjoy his company. Sure do miss folks like him and Minnie Pearl..............they made the Opry and music seem inviting. Thank you for sharing this vid and song. It's a blessing!

    I agree with the comments about the current state of affairs with country music and music period. There's still people making great music, but it's certainly not under the brand name of modern country. The industry has succeeded in ruining music completely. And American Idol hasn't helped matters either. It's viewed by millions who think "that" is what music is all about. Boy, do they need to wake up!

    Grandpa Jones sang: "By the graveside of this near forgotten man,
    On this cold November morning... here I stand"... any body have the rest of the words??? What a great song ... sang by a man is so dearly missed!

  • @sikymoe

    @TheLingnerFamily The line you quoted"The only thing you take is what you gave away" from the song is also seen ithe backround framed and hanging on the wall in a scene from "It's a Wonderful Life" at the Bank office of George Baily's father. I'm not sure of the origin of the quote but yes it is an interesting thought. Both Grandpa and his wife Romona were good Christian folk and often sang old hyms and songs of inspiration and were loved by friends family and their fans.

    Look closely, Grandpa Jones is a hair lip. That is what drove his accent. It's not a shame, and Grandpa Jones is one of my favorite singers. Just thought you might want to know.
    Also, he is credited with keeping both the Banjo and the frailing style of playing the Banjo alive though the 50's and 60's.

    @TheLingnerFamily If you search for the video here about a visit to Grandpa's gravesite, you'll see that his headstone bears that line.
    "When you leave this earth for a better home someday, the only thing you'll take is what you gave away."
