    I just want to show my appreciation for this video and song, I played it for my grandfather who used to sing this song to his kids and grandkids while he was passing on to the next life and it was during this song that he peacefully went. The importance of music in our lives is endless and forever. This was a gem of a performance and I thank you
    from the bottom of my heart😌

    My 75 year old mother just fell and broke her hip and when she woke up from anesthesia she sung this all afternoon. I'd never heard her sing it before. This video brought us both so many good laughs as we sit together here in the hospital room

    Thank you so much for this! My Grandmother would say in a sing song way, "the old gray mare ain't what she used to be" every time she'd stand up from a chair. Listening to your song was the first time I ever heard it to entirety! You made someone's granddaughter smile today. Thank you for that

  • @x2malandy
    @x2malandy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I was up at around 2AM making a cup of coffee and this song popped into my head. I'm 72. I laughed when I started singing it, I think because I had some pains in my body. I do not know when I learned this song as a youngster but it was still in the archives of my mind. Good old song from the past.

    We sang the chorus growing up but I never heard the song in its entirety People said the phrase, "The old Gray Mare just ain't what she used to be" too when I was a kid. Said it to my own daughter, who never heard it so I sent her your version Jesse. I shared it with my oldest sister chatting with her on her birthday. I'm 56 (youngest of 6 children) and she turned 66 today. We both enjoyed your rendition. Just perfect for this song! She had never heard it all either.

    I hurt my ankle earlier today and my boyfriend started singing this song. I had never heard it in my life. I thought he was making it up to poke fun at me for being 'crippled' and limping around 🤣🤣he said, 'no, it's a real song. Google it.' So I did and found this wonderful man's video...made me laugh the whole way through. Thank you, sir!

    I don't think I've heard this song we sang as kids 75 years ago, even though I lived through the folk music era of the 60s/70s with Pete Seeger and so many others. What really perked me up was the 'naughty' lyrics as we only used to sing the chorus and not much more.

    My Grandfather used to sing that song. However, the last verse was...Grandpa found that the old grey mare Pooped her underwear.
    He used to get scolded by grandma for singing it in front of us kids. I'm sure that there is an adult version hidden away somewhere.
