From the April 22, 1970 edition of "The Johnny Cash Show," Burl Ives and Johnny sing and play a medley of Civil War-era ballads, including "Oh Mary Don't You Weep" and an insanely infectious little ditty called "Goober's Peas". I had to cut a short bit near the beginning to keep the clip to under 10 minutes; that's the clumsy edit at about the 2:20 mark ? my fault, not the producers of "The Johnny Cash Show".. + Informações

uk.youtube.com #62-Most Responded(Today)-Music Copyright owner: UMG "Big Rock Candy Mountain" is a song about a hobo's idea of paradise. The song describes a hobo's vision of utopia, a place where the "hens lay soft boiled eggs" and there are "cigarette trees". The song is also rather ironic and satirical in that it additionally describes mollified versions of things that one wouldn't think should exist in paradise at all, such as police (with wooden legs) and jail bars (made of tin), but sound appealing to someone whose lifestyle runs afoul of the law. In proof of his authorship of the song, McClintock published the original words, the last stanza of which was: The punk rolled up his big blue eyes And said to the jocker, "Sandy, I've hiked and hiked and wandered too, But I ain't seen any candy. I've hiked and hiked till my feet are sore And I'll be damned if I hike any more To be buggered sore like a hobo's whore In the Big Rock Candy Mountains." lol.. + Informações

"Happy Holidays" to all my viewers & subscribers. I'd like to say "Thank You" to all for your comments and support. You've made what I do here worth the effort. I really do appreciate it! Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives (June 14, 1909 -- April 14, 1995) was an American actor, writer and folk music singer. Ives was born in 1909 near Hunt City, an unincorporated town in Jasper County, Illinois, the son of Levi "Frank" Ives (1880--1947) and Cordelia "Dellie" White (1882--1954). He had six siblings: Audry, Artie, Clarence, Argola, Lillburn, and Norma. His father was at first a farmer and then a contractor for the county and others. One day Ives was singing in the garden with his mother, and his uncle overheard them. He invited his nephew to sing at the old soldiers' reunion in Hunt City. The boy performed a rendition of the folk ballad "Barbara Allen" and impressed both his uncle and the audience. Ives had a long-standing relationship with the Boy Scouts of America. He was a Lone Scout before that group merged with the Boy Scouts of America in 1924. The collection of his papers at the New York Library for the Performing Arts includes a photograph of Ives being "inducted" into the Boy Scouts in 1966.Ives received the organization's Silver Buffalo Award, its highest honor. The certificate for the award is hanging on the wall of the Scouting Museum in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Ives often performed at the quadrennial Boy Scouts of America jamboree, including the 1981 jamboree at Fort AP .... + Informações

This is the first recording ever of this famous song in February 1949. Vaughn Monroe's big baritone and orchestra version became a number one hit a month later, but it's great to listen to Burl sing this much simpler version, just his clear tenor voice and strumming on an acoustic guitar.. + Informações

There's a little green frog swimming in the water A little green frog, doing what he oughter He jumped right off of the lily pad That the little duck bit and he said "I'm glad I'm a little green frog swimming in the water Glug, Glug, Glug."
