One thing I love about Ralph Stanley, when he sings you can feel what he’s feeling. In this song you can feel the darkness! His voice will make you feel the pain of this song! R.I.P. May be gone but your music will forever live on 🙏🏻
Dr Ralph & the Clinch mountain boys once performed magnificently for a crowd of folks very appreciative at a church auditorium on Bardstown rd., Ky. Rip Dr Stanley
This man is the Reaper..I get cold chilles every time I hear this. The reaper has came for me several times back in my younger days when I was on the streets. I have been shot once and stabbed 3 different times.
Still makes my skin prickle. If I die before my friend he will sing this song.
Colder and darker than any heavy metal song ever written... 💀 "The worms and earth both have a claim..." That's ice!
What a legend
❤ MUCH LOVE TO BROTHER !!
YOU ARE SURELY A SUPER STAR !!! ❤
His voice is otherworldly, definitely nobody around now who can put this kind of emotion into their music.
Mr Ralph...I bow to a pure southern gentleman....My Meemaw loved ya,my Ma adored ya and my Pa respected ya...RIP Mr Stanley ❤❤❤
Amen
Perfect

RIP Mr. Stanley. A legend taken away
He is and always will be missed, let the youth honor him by taking up musical arms(instruments) and play the bluegrass.
RIP mr stanley :(

I’d like to know how he sings this song without crying. Iv been practicing so long and I can’t make it through without being overcome with emotion
He is but putting all emotion into the words and tune
I like this one and the cover version on Supernatural.
For years I thought this was a Camper Van Beethoven song. R.I.P. Ralph.
My goosepimples have goosepimples...
@wesleywigington he is still alive, and he is 84.

Ilike this. Got any good Klansmen?
dammit! I meant to spell "bad ass" not "bass"
Closed captioning on this song is so very flawed. Eliminate it lest someone try to reproduce.
no one get mad at me but is he dead or just doesnt sing any more?
Sadly he's now gone... Requisat In Pax Ralph Stanley
Ethereal.
If you like this you will like the bootleggers by nick cave
im not digging the thaaaaank youuu at the end
He was being polite to the Grim Reaper... Pretty sure that's a good idea.
