✌️ 😊 .... wish I could play like these girls, too ... so soothing to listen to! : ) Hope we never loose all great music, is amazing how music can evoke memories or if not memories, feelings deep inside that we connect to, from maybe generations of bygone days .... There are only 12 notes, so is hard NOT to relate OR connect through music - Thank you, Rashard 🙏 ❤️

What about the image of slaves being sold and walked to the deep south to work in plantations, look up the origins of this song it's a very sad tragic song.

Ok that's funny Im Irish and from Kentucky lol

I am from Grayson and I have just recently heard them, I was immediately drawn....Guess I know why now!!

You do realise this song isn't about Kentucky pride but about slaves being sold to a plantation in the deep south, it's a very sad song. The original words were altered look up the original.

Do you know this song is originally about slaves being sold to a plantation in the deep south. This is a very sad song about tge hardship, suffering and sorrow of being a slave.

@@THEbombatomo what is your problem? This isn't the original. If you don't like it then don't listen and just move on.

@@mikes3703 There's nothing wrong with the original song, it was written and it served a purpose. To alter the words today to hide the truth of it's origins desecrates the memory of generations who suffered the cruelty of human bondage. The words were changed not out of pride of being from Kentucky but to appropriate the song and hide Kentucky's past, partly to eleviate white guilt and partly to be ignorant of the truth. If you want to sing the song then sing it as it was written and honour those who fought to end the injustice and horrors of slavery and those who never woke to the dawn of freedom.

@@THEbombatomo Should slavery be taken out of the history books?

@@atestring1379 No it shouldn't and that is my point. This version is a coöpted version of the original song. The original song makes references to slaves being uprooted from relatively mild conditions of a family homestead in Kentucky to be sold into a harsher life on a large plantation. This version has changed the words to hide the truth that this song is not about nostalgia for idyllic country living in Kentucky but about the horrors of human bondage. Perhaps you should listen to the original words and compare these altered lyrics then maybe you'd get the point that this song is as it is being performed now is purposeful revision of history to erase slavery from this song which is just as obscene as writing it out of history textbooks.

우리가 배웠던 노래와 아주 다르네요.. 이것은 mountain version 이랍니다.

Do you realise the original song is about slavery???

@@THEbombatomo Of course I do! You've gotta understand and grasp the overall context/intent of this Collins Civil War Masterpiece. From his writings and other music, he was always sympathetic to the slaves and frequently put himself in his shoes, as evidenced by his music. It's not our job to make judgements or to try and influence this Country's history, but to simply enjoy and celebrate the music that is much a part of American history. America's history is what it is, like it or not......

@@larryfukunaga9250Larry I agree with what you are saying but the problem is this version of the song has altered the original lyrics so as to hide the true meaning of the song which is what I find abhorrent it is not right to the memory of those who lived through slavery for ignorant white southerners to just whitewash over history because they don't want to face what their ancestors did.

@@THEbombatomo we can't change the past no matter how much we'd like to. This song is part of this nations history and it is a source of pride most associated to the Kentucky Derby the greatest horse race in the world. Please don't rain on this parade.

@@mikes3703 I doubt the people who died in bondage would agree with your sentiments I surly don't. I'd prefer people didn't try to erase history and appropriate a song that should be sung to solemnly commemorate the victims of slavery and not turn it into some ditty that people associate with a sporting event it disrespects that past and if this is how Americans feel then you have learnt nothing from history and will be doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past in one form or another.

They are slaves being sold to a plantation in the deep south the words were altered look up the original
