My Dad died in March of 2012 , He was a great mandolin , and guitar player . My Dad use to play and sing this song to us children at our very young age . I still remember it like it was just yesterday , I am now 61 yrs old , my Dad was 79 yrs old when he passed on .

Awwww I so hear you. My Dad too could play anything and loved bluegrass. We used to play this song or listen to it and marveled at how sad it was. He died in 2016. I carry my love for this music on for him. Playing these tunes is like hanging out with him. John Duffy wrote and recorded a sequel to this song called, “I’ve come to take you home.” Look it up and listen to it. It’ll send chills down your spine. It’s so great. ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing. My parents took me so many times to the Meadowgreen Park in Clay City, KY to see Charlie and the Country Gentlemen. It was crazy that a group of this caliber and fame would drive to the middle of nowhere and play in a barn, and we loved it. Heard him sing this song in person probably 20 times. He was such a wonderful singer, and a sweet, genuine person- he always had time to take song requests from the tiniest person in the place. He is so missed- the remaining band members are all great pickers, but will never be the same without Charlie.

Great tune for Halloween, especially. What this was song is based on is an urban legend. A guy in a car picks up a girl standing by the side of the road, coming home from a dance. She's strange and somewhat distant, for sure. Pulling up to her home, he gets out of the car to let her out the back seat. Upon opening the door, she has vanished. As in the song, he goes up to the house and and old woman comes to the door. She reveals herself to be the mother of Lydia (Mary in song), a young girl who has died on the highway many years before.. Wow! Just the timeless tale of someone dying young in an accident and now a ghost tied to the scene by tragedy. The story is up on the internet as Lydia, the Phantom Hitchhiker, under North Carolina Ghost Stories and Legends. But actually, I have seen the story as a paranormal episode on TV modified in story line and location (in New York state).

@clyde Bessie was pretty hot on the original VHS this got ripped from. Bessie is Tom Gray's bass, a carved-wood Karl Meisel (Most 'grassers like plywood, Tom likes the way Bessie sings, while the average plywood bass "barks." Not a bad thing either way, just a taste for different responses). I recall hearing it that way, I still have the VHS tape. (I admit to having a bias, I'm Tom Gray's son). Any fault lies in HedgeHoggas not downgrading the audio when s/he ripped it. But any downgrading would have made the Duffeypants less loud...

Listening to such great material as this on this presentation is frustrating for me because the bass response is racked up so high that I can't hear any details. This is a common problem on U Tube, but I wish more posters would realize that not everyone is listening through lap tops with no additional speakers. I'll keep tuning in with thanks though because the music itself is wonderful and hard to find; hoping to work in my own tone controls eventually.

oatstao There's no "occult" in this. Chaw Mank and Ben Kingston wrote the lyrics after seeing a similar story on The Twilight Zone. The original melody was a little lackluster, but Duffey heard it, liked the lyrics, and gave it a new melody. I don't think a simple ghost story is really "occult". And it's not for harmonization, but just because they liked the timbre of the two different voices singing different voices. I think it was a stroke of genius alternating like that
