Statler Brothers, The - I'll Go To My Grave Loving You Lyrics

Lew made every song better.

So will I .. they were great, and now their sons Wilson Fairchild are coming along nicely too.

FOREVER LOVING YOU!!!!!!!

great song thanks for sharein remember listening to this song grow in up

4 men never sounded better than these guys

The words to this song are SO true. Ive played this and other songs for my wife many many times. But now Im very saddened by the song but find it true. I met my wife in 1987. After 31 years together she suffered a stroke Dec 28 2018. I rushed her to the best hospital and they did what they could. 3 or 4 days later she was better. The 5th day she was really better. Eating , talking. She joked with me and hugged and kissed me. That smile of hers was amazing! So much life in my wife. But she died suddenly that night on Jan 3. I think another clot went to her heart. They tried their best but her heart just would not pick up. They stopped trying and let me hold and talk to her. I caressed her hair and face and held her as she slipped away. 31 years just slipped away. Im still not moving forward at all. This song is sad but true. What a life . Ill always love her and be her husband. Ill see her again one day. Hope its sooner than later. I cant take this world without her. I love you my soulmate! Forever!

does anyone know who played that pretty opening guitar. and to my friend Chris, my dad, mom , brothers and friend Pat. Love you forever

Impossible to say. Harold played both steel guitar and dobro, Marshall Grant was a regular session and tour guitarist for them, and John Hughey played web-pedal steel guitar (kinda looks like a lap harpsichord). As far as I know, Lew DeWitt only played acoustic guitar (professionally). Take your pick. My guess (and that's ALL it is) is that it was Lew. He was definitely good enough.

I found an LP vinyl album of this song and more of their greats. Check it out. https://www.ebay.com/itm/142961299811

What a classic sound from a class act.

My favorite by the Statler Brothers.

great choice

im 20 years old, and i grew up listening to the statlers, i wish i could hear them live, but i was born 2 years too late

that is my favorite song they sing; love connie

released in May 1975

I'll go, I'll go to my grave
To my grave lovin' you (lovin' you) lovin' you
I'd give, I'd give all I've saved
I've saved lovin' you (lovin' you) lovin' you
And should, and should I live again
Even then, it won't end
For I'll go, I'll go to my grave
To my grave lovin' you (lovin' you) lovin' you

Oh to take his place forever
There's nothin' I wouldn't give
I'd prove to you daily what a man really is

I'll lay, I'll lay down my life
Down my life lovin' you (lovin' you) lovin' you
I'd work, I'd work day and night
Day and night lovin' you (lovin' you)
Lovin' you, lovin' you
And when, and when life calls us both above
Honey you'll know that you'd been loved
For I'll go, I'll go to my grave
To my grave lovin' you (lovin' you) lovin' you

Songwriters: Don Reid. (c)1975.

Love the statler brothers

On march 15th after fifteen years of longing for his wife, my grandfather joined my grandmother in heaven. I feel this song very much conveys his feelings for her.

The were better with Lew but Jimmy was good too

Oh John...you sure know how to keep a girl from saying it's over!! Beautiful song! Love you....

I'll go to my grave lovin' you, lovin' you
I'd give all I've saved lovin' you, lovin' you
And should, and should I live again
Even then, it won't end
For I'll go, I'll go to my grave
To my grave lovin' you, lovin' you
Oh, to take his place forever
There's nothin' I wouldn't give
I'd prove to you daily what a man really is
I'll lay down my life lovin' you, lovin' you
I'd work day and night lovin' you, lovin' you
And when, and when life calls us both above
Honey, you'll know that you'd been loved
For I'll go to my grave lovin' you, lovin' you

And when, and when life calls us both above
Well, honey, you'll know that you'd been loved
For I'll go to my grave lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you

This was played at my Grandpa's funeral and I've loved it ever since.

Ya my dad wants it played at he's funeral also

Anyone know what year this was made?

Anton Chigurh 70s

These beautiful male voices still make my heart do flip flops after all these years. Nobody makes music like this anymore. Thanks so much for sharing this ♥

I saw them in 1991 at Cape Cod Melody Tent,i was just 21.I thank my parents for instilling this music is out there.

Daydreams of a Vintage Girl thanks for appreciating real and gold music like this

This song always makes me think of a Burger King Double whopper with Cheese.

RIP CURTIS SCHUMACHER

The Statler Brothers are My Favorite Country Music Group/Band When My Grandmother died on July 21, 2015 I listened to there Music and It got me through the tough times My Grandpa Loves old country music my dad started listing to country music after the statler brothers smash hit Flowers on the Wall came out then he started listening to Loretta Lynn I been to Nashville and My favorite part was going to the country music hall of fame The only problem I had was There plaque was so High That my mom read it to me.

peyton page ,I lost my mother in 2008, I miss her dearly

That's almost 3 minutes of bliss right there.

My father died in 1975 and my mother sang this one over and over.. This one really strikes a heat string. Thanks

My father died in 1977 when I was 5. I grew up on this stuff~~8 track tapes are a thing that young folks today couldn't even imagine

Robbie MB did you father strike a heart string?

In Loving Memory of my husband of 26 years,  Curtis Schumacher,. Curtis passed away 08/26/ 2016,  of a massive heart attack right in front of me. He reached up and tried to say something, then he was gone. melted on the floor. I tried my best to revive him, the Paramedics worked on him for 45 minutes while I paced the floor praying. My heart is broken, I not only lost the love of my life, but my fishing partner, my golfing partner, my hunting partner and my best friend in life. Rest in Peace Darling, There will never be another.

I am so sorry, dear. Tears are evidence that you have known love. I lost my only close friend in DC (where I leave) one year ago. I have never experienced so much anguish, so my heart really goes out to you. God bless you.

Cheryl Schmacher wow great story

Will be thinking about you , God bless you, I lost my mom 7 years ago an my dad 13 years, an still get tears in my eyes , if u have great love for someone u always will have flashing memories an will never end

i'm so sorry, Cheryl. only a widow can understand. i have faith that i will see my beloved again one day. August 1, 2009. i wish i could say it gets easier, but i still miss him every minute of every day.

This is still my go-to song when I need a lift. And no one ever lifted better than these guys. They were as good on their last show as they were when they were new out of the box. Love them. Thank you so much for this.

I grew up with their "Statler Brothers Now and Then" album in the 1970s and 1980s. My parents would play that album (vinyl) all the time...love it. :)

Me too. Got my one and only moving violations in early 70's , listening to this in my car one beautiful summer day - with this playing full blast and me singing along. Can you feel better?

Only kidding, but, yeah...you could feel better without the cop and the ticket! :D

If you get a chance, watch the 1976 movie "Drive-In." As raw as that movie is, it'll bring back SO MANY memories of the 1970s - The Statler Brothers; a Playboy Playmate; the drive-in movies; etc. Check it out! :)

never get tired of this group! Love all their songs.

reminds me of my parents when u was yougnster, 52 n i miss em much,

Me too!
