My dear brother and I harmonized to this song but this original version far surpasses that other one

❤love this song❤

Why can't works of music have in-depth meanings like this anymore? Not interested in some rapper tart being a total slut to influence 12 year old girls.

Love it

Beautiful song but the Trump add which is on this page is a real deterrent for returning to hear this again. The river and song are the best of America. The Orange Liar Criminal is the absolute worst.

Beautiful rendition! Thank you!

Sucj a beautiful version. Used it teaching the last 2 days.

How did we get tricked into using electricity? What an evil world we are in where we don't grow our own food on a homestead.

As a black American, I thank you. James Bland would be happy.

First time I hear this song I thought it was gonna play westminster chime

Wow it's more joyous and cheerful

I have an Irish ancestor that proudly served for the South this is for his honor

My Mom used to play this when I was young. It was one of our favorites. Thanks for this great memory

The rhymes and rhythm of this sequel have that timeless and beautiful quality of the original, and though I loved the original's grieving yet positive tone and mood, I also find the more frustrated and sour expression of this one to be an interesting follow up. I can appreciate how it balances the feeling of someone's passing being disrespected and the bitterness of others misunderstanding the meaning of things they're not attached to, with the honest and nuanced conclusion of making peace with what can't be corrected. I could imagine the ending being the man getting rid of the wall-mounted clock too, and potentially also just getting another tall-case one, if it were in the hands of another writer, but I'm happy it didn't end that way. Though, I am aware that this song was purely fictional despite the original's origins as a true story, about a clock that is still around to this day. I find it more comforting that this isn't true-- as obviously this isn't a very happy ending-- but it still has artistic merit in itself as an alternate-history of sorts, and also the theme that can be inferred about special belongings and respect towards those who have passed away. Now I'm just wondering what an English version would sound with the additional lyrics that one of the Czech arrangements brought. I heard about that on the Wikipedia article I found this sequel through, it sounds interesting.

Temas maravilhos. maneco - Brasil.

É gratificante ouvir esses temas originários do século passado. Todos tem uma história, seja da revolução americana contra os ingleses ou da guerra civil americana, etc. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil.

I love this song!!!! Are you sing this song All???

THERE'S THINGS WORSE THAN DYING, LIKE JOHN WAYNE, ETHAN ALLEN WILL NEVER DIE

Camptown races was supposedly a real place in Bradford County. I was born and raised in the Bradford area (Elmira NY). Foster went to school at the Tioga point academy in Athens Pennsylvania for a yr.

I'm reading Beneath the attic V.C. Andrews.

Panget po ang mga song

my mother always sung the chorus of this song and I often wondered what the rest of the song was like.quite fitting for the old man.

I cant get this song out of my head. I knew it when the few people who cared about me were still alive before they all passed and I know where the legend comes from as well. The head of the house was the only person only allowed to wind the clock in the 19th century. When they died that wad it. The clock stopped. Like life. 😔

Josh if you are watching this you are lost

I grew up listening to this song every night before bed

❤lily

Nice voice

My kids and I loved the FP wind up clock and the melody it played. Finally, I’m able to put a name to the song and have words to sing. Thank you for making the video.

Sound weird

My Grandmother used to sing this song when I was a young child in the 60's. Haven't heard it since then. Lovely memories!

when was this written? i can't find any mention of this song elsewhere on the internet

Fun fact: the original composer of the song was a staunch supporter of the union, and wish she had never written it upon hearing of its use by the Confederacy. "If I had known to what youth they would put my song, I will be damned to have ever written it" - Daniel Emmett

Nice antiques in the video. A sweet song too. And yes Tom, we definitely miss you!

I’ve known this hauntingly beautiful song for most of my 80+ years. Always loved it, always will. My high school choir sang a beautiful version of. Thanks for posting it.

🥹🥰haven’t heard this song since I was little girl!! Thanks for sharing this!! 🎶♥️

Love the song, good version. However, the Shenandoah in the song references the Oneida chief, and the Missouri River. I had heard this previously, and it causes the song to make sense (white man wants to marry Indian maiden). It is not about the Shenandoah River in VA/WV. I learned this recently when I googled the man Shenandoah and got nothing but when I googled the song and got into the Wikipedia page, the chief showed up, with the folk history of the song and a link to the chief.

So grateful to study with her.

Is that anything else whites wouldn’t still from blacks? Country music was also stolen from blacks. Sad but true?

Love the pictures!Tom Roush was a hell of a singer!

Thank You! Your tempo fits the lyrics so well. The photos and graphics make a great backdrop too.

Red Dead Redemption 2 brought me here. Rest In Peace Arthur Morgan ❤❤ the best characters ever

One of the Pokemon soundtrack definitely took some type of inspiration from this song.

Tom, your music was awesome. R.I.P.

Love this so much thank you❤

This song is totally new to me, never even heard the title, so a nice treat! Delightfully catchy, containing the old Foster magic. Great visuals, too. Ah, those were the days, weren't they?

Mummers strut every New Years day at Philly mummers parade. Love this. Reminds me of home.

one of my favs as a young and aspiring folksinger back then ❤

Da poopit is here😭

僕は合唱で聴くのはあまり好きではなく、またカントリーの歌らしくバンジョーの演奏が入っていた方が絶対良いと思います！ 懐かしい曲です☺️
