I was here to literally say the same about my grandmother. Except she was Italian but, she whistled this too.

My pop pop sung this to me growing up. It was the first song I learned just for him when he had his first scare with cancer. I was only 5.. ill never forget that hug he gave me that day. Such a good man. I miss him with every bit of my being. I believe I would've been a different person if he had been there for longer then 12 years of my life. He also used to tell me he lost his hair in the war. (Ww2 marine vet) never talked about the war, only eating chocolate covered ants on the ship when him and his buddies went to steal candy from the kitchen. He got a big surprise in the dark that night. I'd give anything to learn more about him and his life. Wish I asked more.

My grandparents both sang this to each other. She was in a Sweet Adelines choir when she was younger so she'd sing the harmonies. Absolutely lovely, I adore that I was lucky enough to grow up in a family hearing and learning all these wonderful old songs.

Same lol

As a lover of this kind of music, I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Henry's voice on the video, despite not being able to tell the exact source hehe. Outstanding animation btw

I seriously don't understand why they didn't just credit it in the description or credits. Just because it's public domain because it's 111 years old doesn't make it so that you don't have to credit it.

@@CPorter True. I wish they did.

Mine too!!

Aww.

I thank my mom for singing this song to me in my wee years in the early '60s.

Downton Abby is how I got here

Omg yesss!!!!

I first heard on Hallmark's show When Calls the Heart.

I feel the same way you do :)

Yes it really is..💕

A true classic brings tears to my eyes for everyone I know who danced this tune at their wedding

Damn.

Oh yeah... is it the animation?

There is no reason why they shouldn't have credited this song in the description or credits

@@lilecx god i do love that film

My grandmother got married in 1910. As a young boy, I remember she would often whistle songs as she did her housework. One time she laughed after whistling a song and said - "A whistling maid and a crowing hen - Both will come to no good end" .

Do you have a source for that?

@@eyuin5716 It was in a book titled "Joel Whitburn Presents a Century of Pop Music: Year-By-Year Top 40 Rankings of the Songs & Artists That Shaped a Century". It is OOP now but you can get a used copy yet. It has all the top 40 songs from each year from the 1900s with the specifics of the dates. If you are a music data nerd it is quite interesting. Early recording artists were sold by advertisements in magazines, because there was not a lot of radio and of course no TV. So people bought a lot of records based on names they knew. When they saw "Peerless Quartet", it was a known quality to them, and they would order the record. At least, IMHO this would account for the reason the early vocalists had high ranking records - 1 to 3 on the charts - by amounts that would make today's artist stagger. Like 50, 60 records or even more.

@@eyuin5716 I got this from Wikipedia, but it jogs with the book "In his book Pop Memories 1890-1954, music archivist and statistician Joel Whitburn assessed a variety of sources such as Talking Machine World 's lists of top-selling recordings, and Billboard 's sheet music and vaudeville charts, to estimate the most successful recordings of the period. He concluded that the Peerless Quartet had 102 "top ten" hits in all between 1904 and 1926, and in the decade 1910-1919 had more successful recordings than any other musician or group.[3] Although Whitburn's methods of assessment have been criticized,[7] this broadly confirms statements that the group were the most popular of their era.[5]"

@@libertytree3209 Oh man, if only pop was like this nowadays.

@@libertytree3209 his methods have been criticized very unfairly. Because what those who write him off desire something that is completely impossible and ridiculously high standards. Yes of course he had to make his own new ranking system for this because not every charting system was made like Billboard's from the 40s onwards. He made a mistake in his first print of Pop Memories, which he later rectified in other editions, but that followed him his entire life through.

i'm hearing my mum while she was doing chores.

Nick, I was brought up by my granny in WW11 and she be was akways singing.these old songs I am now in my 80's and can still hear her

IAmMsKristina this is not the only version. there is a cylinder recorded version which is so much more clearer than this.

Please listen to Doris Day's rendition. It is so lovely. Her phrasing is unbelievable. You won't be disappointed.

The version sung by Ruth Etting has the beginning lyrics, albeit in the middle of the song.

Do people still buy amberol cylinders? Lol!

That's really cool history to hear. Leo Friedman is my grandmas uncle. My dad gets the royalty checks from all of Leo's music these days. My pops has a lot of the og stuff from all his songs. Really cool things to look back through

The old pics and newspaper articles of the time are amazing

Chip Ballard They have two CDs with actual music from the 1890s! The sound isn't great but the fact they even have anything from that time period is simply amazing!

they started to make records in the early or mid 1880s

What you don't know can fill a werehouse lady

@@e.tezani3877 Well, you can't even spell warehouse, so what do you know?

@@dantep4966 i was referring to a man turning into a werehouse.. I know what I said

Being honest, I was surprised to hear this in Fueled because I first heard it on my mom's playlist in the early morning hours. It made me cry, nonetheless.

No, 50 years before that.

I was wondering why I knew this song so well.

Aben Rudy Why would that be a joke? Tiny is is amazing and so is Henry burr.

In America I think its after 100 years since its publication. In other countries it's like 50-70 years after the author's death

As of 2021, its anything published in 1925 or before.

@@bad-xtian7773 Good to hear.

@@johnhalbert3575 if I remember correctly, the majority of songs before 1926 are public domain unless a big studio still claims ownership. Records like this are ok to use :)
