I grew up watching Roy Clark on Hee Haw...
Vote Trump!
Good lyrics on this song...
How’s Roy doing?
Enjoyed that!
I always enjoy his ‘I never picked cotton’ and have it in my mp3 collection of nearly 300 classics.

I’ve always enjoyed that song. But this is the Roy Clark performance that blew me away when I was a child.

Absolutely one of my favorite performers, and people.
An outstanding guitarist, but I’ve always just hated this song.
Amazingly beautiful song.
Roy has heart issues and I always expected him to go before Buck Owens. Did not happen that way.
I’m going to go sing this at karaoke...
Nice. Thanks for posting...I’d completely forgotten about this song. I listened to the Glenn Campbell, Dusty Springfield, and Shirley Bassey covers of it, too.
It means a lot more now that I reached 65’
I grew up watching him on Hee Haw but only have one album of his “Makin’ Music”, duets with Clarence Gatemouth Brown

I guess I do have another record he is on, Funnel of Love by Wanda Jackson (1960).

I saw him at Harrah's in Reno sometime in the 70's (I had to rent a coat and tie at the door to get in and I had a date.).
He's a true entertainer. He can play any instrument well and he's funny...maybe the best live show I've ever seen.
Roy Clark is still alive and doing well in his 80’s. I looked him up the other day.
Love Roy and this song. He sung it at Mickey Mantle’s funeral.
Beautiful song but when you’re long in the tooth like me it’s so melancholy.........sigh
