The cameos of Townes Van Zandt - as a bemused Federale, as a guy with a guitar in the restaurant - were a great addition. The man was a real poet, and this song is real poetry. Willie is Willie and could always spot something for the ages. Merle was for the ages, and it's interesting to watch him looking at the gravesite with something like regret, then coughing in Cleveland. Now, why anyone would flee to Cleveland is a different matter. Merle often ended up in places where he'd look around and wonder "what in the hell am I doing here?"

I seem to write poetry when I lose someone I love or when I'm really really hurt. Kinda just flows out...

Luke 4:3-4 And the devil said unto Him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

I like to dedicate this song to my little brother James Allen Smythe

The song tells the story of two outlaw characters, Pancho and Lefty. Pancho is portrayed as a Mexican bandit, while Lefty is his American accomplice. The lyrics depict the betrayal of Pancho by Lefty, who turns him in for a reward. The song explores themes of friendship, betrayal, loyalty, and the harsh realities of life on the run.

@paulruiz4518

Ай бұрын

People used to say the song was about Pancho Villa life story?.... There "Might" be some Similarities; Pancho Villa did have Americans fighting in his Army. He was betrayed by those who were close to him or (set-up in the ambush in Parral, Chihuahua México) My 2- grandfather's on both sides, lived in that part of Mexico, Durango where Pancho Villa was from and lived in his, hacienda during that time period. My Dad was 2- yrs. old when Pancho Villa was killed, and during the Mexican Revolution there was certainly lots of; killing, betrayals, friendship and loyalty around? It must have been Crazy Not Knowing Who to Trust or Not!!!

I dont know how old you are but I'm almost 50 and a die hard metal head 🤘🏻 I grew up with my older family members playing this kind of stuff and I was just to angsty and full of youthful defiance to listen to "old people music." Now that I've lived long enough to experience life I get this music. It takes a long time for an acorn to grow into a mighty oak. I still love my head banger stuff but Waylon Willie, Johnny and the rest are right there next to them in my playlists, keeping company with all the great classic rockers from the 60s and 70s. Cream rises to the top. Dont fret you're leaving it in good hands. Thank you for keeping it alive, we found it because of cats like you.

Seeing Townes in the background is my favorite part of the video. A beautifully written song, made even better by the legends singing it.❤

I had a small A-frame cabin in the interior of Alaska. No tv, cable internet etc...I did have AM radio. I would record it when I was out hunting and trapping. I came back one night and replayed it and thats how I found this song. Back then it grabbed my attention, and I almost wore out the fibers of the cassette. Now it take me back to a wilder time in my life and I thought I was moving up, and I did...now I am going back. The cabin is a rental just north of Denali nat'l park. It's off the market in 2023.

One of the great, beautiful desperado ballads of all time. From the tears he sheds for his mother in the opening stanza to the tragic ending, 'now he's growing old'-- it's a moving portrait, a metaphor for all of our lives, sung by two who have lived it.

The story goes Merle had fallen asleep during the recording session for this song when Willie woke him up around 4:00 AM to give him his part. Merle thought they should wait until the next session to give him time to learn it, fully expecting to have to redo it later if they tried it now so late into the session. He thought the lyrics Willie brought him were "a half a mile long" and no way he could get it right that quickly. But Willie pressed on and got Merle to record it right then. That's the only take they did and that's Merle's part you hear in this song.

Merle, willy, Waylon Jennings, George jones, a few of the many singers that made country what it is today

I love Willie and Merle And all the old country singers of the past Along with the new ones from today Country music will never really die Because as long as there is a country to sing about Thanks again for all your love and memories Country fan Forever Carol Maldonado

This reminds me of ole pap he could play all this stuff and bring a tear to your eye. Couldn't read a lick of music, one of those old timers that played by ear, God I miss you dad.

Being stabbed in the back by someone who you love is incredibly painful. I don't know if it's worse for the stabber, or for the one who got stabbed. Lefty would understand.

This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart

Rest In Peace Townes Van Zant who wrote this classic. He's in this video in several scenes. Great song writer.

Reminds me of my grandpa. We would listen to this on cassette tape of Willie Nelson called ‘half Nelson’. A tape of songs that Willie did with other singers. I am almost 43. Grandpa passed away when I was 16 and I still miss him everyday. It is amazing how one person can have such an impact in this world. When grandpa passed I lost my fishing partner. I don’t go camping anymore. Haven’t been to Montana or go on summer trips much like we use to. However, it is also because of grandpa that I never tried alcohol or drugs. He had his sobriety at the three year mark when I was born and maintained that until he passed away. He was straight up with me and lead me down the correct path. Miss you grandpa.

I still have my grandmother's Willie Nelson cassette tape. Takes me back in time to the backseat of her car listening to good ole Willie.

Charlie81980-Your grandfather sounds like a very GOOD man and I am betting that you are a good solid man yourself. Like you, I have been blessed to have some incredible influences in and upon my life. Most of them are gone now but I like to think that somewhere in some way they are still watching me. It helps me sometimes to do the next right thing and every now and then to make better decisions than I might without the love and respect I have for those who showed me the way. I hope there are people in your life who are just coming up and can benefit from your examples and experiences just as you did with your grandfather. Thank you for sharing your story brother.

Townes Van Zandt in a cameo? So cool. Merle has a uniquely deep and rich voice. Willie is the Pride and Joy of TX. Great songwriting Great singing.

The cameos by Townes are a nice touch, but definitely listen to his solo version. Absolutely killer.

The original is the far superior version... which is really saying something when this version is so good.
