I miss this guy. He started as a young man playing the grandpa part and gracefully aged into that roll. RIP Carl and Ramona.

Whoever bleeped up this video with computer psychedelics belongs in jail.

This is a classic moonshine song RIP to Grandpa Jones he rocked the stage

Grandpa and I had a wild weekend together back in 1953. I couldn't walk straight for a week, by golly!

I have a recording of my grandparents and uncles singing this (obviously under the influence of mountain dew) from the late 60's. One of my most prized possessions

Used to watch Grandpa Jones on Hee Haw ! To bad there's no shows like that today !

The claw hammer style of playing the banjo. it's nearly a lost art

Grandpa Jones and Stringbean - my favorite clawhammer banjo guys on Hee Haw.

I'll bet Grandpa Jones had quite a few good stories to tell in his time. If he was still alive, now I'd love to hear some of them.

His clawhammer skill brings a tear to my eye every time

I'm a new York City guy born 1976 and I was never exposed to this kind of music UNTIL.....I heard Roy Clark play this song on the Odd Couple. Then I researched who Grandpa Jones is and OMG, he is awesome. All you country folks out there: I love the Southern and country culture and I appreciate this music so much. To me this is Americana at is best.

I know this is a character, but he's still being taken more seriously than anyone with his accent would be today. It's nice to see.

Back when he had to pretend to be old.

There was truly only ONE Grandpa Jones! He was a great entertainer throughout his years. The funny thing about Grandpa is that he dressed up like a Grandpa even when he was young! One of the all time greats in Country music.

Each time my family would get together the guitars would come out and my grandfather(who actually used to play with Gene Autry whenever he'd come through the Midwest) would finish the night with this song and EVERYONE sang along. I'm 47 years old now and still cry whenever I hear this song. My grandpa is still the coolest person I've ever met

This song never gets old.

My grandad looked just like Grandpa Jones. He too, wore suspenders, was musically inclined and always danced around at our cabin doing some crazy jig. Grandad Ott was a hoot, my mentor & my favorite person in my life. Miss you, Grandad.

I grew up in Mountain View, Arkansas. It shaped me as a musician and person. This reminds me of home.

Nobody could play a banjo like him!

I love country music. When I visited the Grand Ole Opry Theme Park in Nashville in ancient days.... I heard music and ran to it. On a makeshift stage was Grandpa Jones singing and playing his banjo. Unforgettable.

Webb Pierce is one of my favorite classic country singers. The guy had a guitar-shaped swimming pool and two convertibles covered in silver dollars. He was as lavish and hard-living as Grandpa Jones was humble and down-home.

This is a song about moonshine, when they first started making moonshine they called it mountain dew as a slang. Just listen to the lyrics you'll understand.

I used to watch Hee Haw with all the Great Grandpa's Jones used to crack me up when I say hey Grandpa what's for dinner and he tell you or when he would sing along with Roy Clark and all of them with Gloom Despair and Agony On Me I miss Hee Haw wish that bring a show like that bag that was when country was great God bless them all

Back in the day that was the system throughout the Appalachian Mountains, you never met the people running the stills. You weren't really sure exactly where it was only about where. You drop off your jug with a few bucks, come back later and pick-up the full jug. But anybody going up there snooping about looking for the still - That was the easiest way to get shot!!

He was a hoot at the Grand Ole Opry saw him there several times

Got the name Grandpa (real name Louis Marshall Jones) because he was often cranky doing morning radio shows.

Sing this everytime I crack open a cold can of good ole Mountain Dew

Loved this step back in time. What a character, he can play that banjo !

SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC AROUND. 🎵🎵🎵🎵👍👍👍👍🤩🤩😊😊

Hes got some yellow eyes he does! Wow that's country folk for ya.

My favorite sing along at Scout bonfires as a kid.

I having a Baja Blast of listening to this old song.

Everyone there was having a good time,just watch them smile!

Cool true story about grandpa Jones my grandfather and grandpa Jones was 4th cousins i always loved them good days when my paps would tell me stories about how hard life was back then and how people would stop to help one another and not ask for anything in return yes i truly believe that was the best generation that ever was because my grand dad lived through the great depression and he would tell me he would walk half a mile every day to go fetch water for mal to fix dinner i grew up learning from the best generation ever and if people knew how close America is to the worst grate depression the question is would you make it out on top of it?

Крутой дедушка! )) The graetest granpa in all my life. Bring me the musik, fellow -- not the war! From Moskow, Russia, with love to all the peoples of the world. Для меня нет ничего приятнее и роднее настоящей народной музыки. Я проклинаю политиков и их чёртовы антинародные "интересы! Не убий -- сказал Господь! Не грабь, не убивай! Amen.

I came here through an interview with the jazz bass player John Lamb who played in the Duke Ellington Big Band. He said that he never was into Country Music but liked this musician and this song. So had to hear it and I can relay to it.

Grandpa Jones was the first real "celebrity" I met, I was 8 years old at the time...

Not a lot of people know this, but music was a tough business for country stars for the longest time. Grandpa perfected his craft before a lot of small audiences well before he became an established star. BTW. love this version of that mustache. I heard some people from a community radio station that shall remain nameless. Their main mission in life was to keep the folk music tradition alive. For some strange reason, they were always dissing my Grandpa. One of them said it was the way he kicked his leg up every time he played. And I had to ask them, "Just how tight is your rear end when you can't cut loose and enjoy a real entertainer?" Couldn't answer that question. One more thing, it wasn't until after Hee Haw was aired that some really good country and western stars finally started earning a good living, and that probably included my Grandpa, too.

Absolutely true bluegrass. I loved it

His eyes

There's a big holler tree down the road here from me Where you lay down a dollar or two Well you go round the bend and when you come back again There's a jug full of good ole mountain dew Oh they call it that ole mountain dew And them that refuse it are few I'll shut up my mug if you fill up my jug With some good ole mountain dew Now my uncle Nort, he's sawed off and short He measures about four foot two But he thinks he's a giant when you give him a pint Of that good ole mountain dew Well my ole aunt Jill bought some brand new perfume It had such a sweet smellin' pew But to her surprise when she had it analyzed It was nothin' but good ole mountain dew Well the preacher rolled by with his head heisted high Said his wife had been down with the flu And he thought that I ought just to sell him a quart Of that good ole mountain dew Well my brother Bill's got a still on the hill Where he runs of a gallon or two Now the buzzards in the sky get so drunk, they can't fly From smellin' the good ole mountain dew Oh they call it that ole mountain dew And them that refuse it are few I'll shut up my mug if you fill up my jug With some good ole mountain dew

Grandpa Jones playing power chords on his banjo!

Music from real folks for real folks

My childhood was awesome and I just didn't know it!

Him with the Hee Haw Quartet was some of the best gospel music ever on tv

I had a Mountain Dew ad for this video, what a coincidence.

That guy crushes cans before he puts them in the recycling bin... Fosho

This song is good for drinking Mountain Dew.

The background moves. Good ole Granpa

I love the hee haw gang!

He's singing about a soda drink lol 😂😂😂😂

At 0:57, liked Grandpa's joke about the train tunnel.

Not even the cameraman can stop grooving at 1:04

Live in Eastern KY lovin my bluegrass music

How on Earth could 102 folks give this a thumbs down? Grandpa Jones was awesome!

Omg!class!from south Wales!👍😀

Rip in peace grandpa jones i love this song

2019 anyone?

I love this from Philippines. ,

This is the only Mountain Dew I want ™

nothing tops grandpaw jones ever in history. the most natural loveable entertainer. his "whats for supper"? is even more historic. its too bad to think this person had to have his best friend string bean murdered.

The first time I’ve heard this was the summer after my sophomore year high school with his version of I’m My Own Grandpa.

His name lives in among us. What a spirit!!

God bless grandpa Jones and the rest of the hee haw bunch. The show has transmitted to many and if you don't lo hee haw

I love this song.

Definitely going to learn this on the banjo clawhammer style awesome 👍

I ain’t usally into older country songs like this but, I love this kinda stuff.

So beautiful accent!!!

Love the song, and Grandpa Jones.

I completely forgot about this song until Orange Is The New Black series finale.

Esto es arte!!!!

I'm 41 and I love this old country music

His pupils were yellow for that good old liver failing mountain dew.

He wrote one of the most beautiful songs of the twentieth century "Fallen Leaves."

Oh, how I miss Grandpa Jones, Minnie Pearl, and the rest of the gang on shows like Hee Haw. Times were so much simpler.

I would have love to meet him. I bet he has some stories to tell

Jones Old Love Jones accent

Grandpa Jones is a genius and I don’t care about his habits his personality etc I just enjoy his geniality. Very simple!

When I was little my Papa would sing this one to us kids and some time dance to just get a a laugh out of us kids

Love this.

Just love this song and the end is so funny 👍👌😊😂

The original Uncle Grandpa

This is bringing back memories

That's where Les Claypool got his Primus Dance.

Man, Grandpa Jones was the best.

this goes way(!)back..

Orange is the new black brought me here 😭💯🤝

The guitar player is Grandpa's wife Romona.

This is what you crank when you take out your Chevy K5 Blazer to go stay up in the mountains for a weekend camping trip. 🤠

Oh my what a treasure!
