Haunting and beautiful version. "REAL" Country And Western Music the way it was PROUDLY done in the 1950's to the early 1970's. The so called Country(TRASH) Music being PUSHED today can't be compared to the treasures of yesteryear like this song.
Reading a biography on Patsy that I have previously read, in this book it says Patsy's Father's favorite song to sing, (he had an amazing voice, all the Hensley's did), was this song. I find it cute how Patsy did this song just knowing it was her dad's fav song, even though her father was a dead beat and she disliked him.
My very first memory, I must have been 3-4years old, was of my Mother rocking me to sleep, singing this song. Great song to start a life off with, over 40 years ago. Thanks Mom!
Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves, the fills, and tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail
Blessed savior, thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In that great forevermore
Blessed savior, thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In that great forevermore
I'm going to take a guess and say that the eight people who disliked this song are either deaf or simply don't know good music when they hear it. Their loss.
