- Happy Father's Day, All. I wanted to upload a special song for father's day and almost waited too late. I started making this video around 9:30 the night before. I apologize for the odd setting. I'm in the process of moving everything out of my house into my garage so I can redo the floors in my house. I added some photos of Pap (my father, Jerry Wilson) to spruce the video up a little. I have been blessed in more ways than I could ever count, but one of the biggest blessings that I and my siblings ever received is having such a wonderful, loving father. I could never have asked for a better dad in any respect. I heard this song one Sunday afternoon when I was watching PBS with Pap and Granny. A gentleman named Roger Williams sang the song. I was probably in my early teens. I heard it more recently online by Eddie Fisher. The Everly Brothers also recorded it. The song seems to be of German origin because the title is sometimes written as "Mein Papa." Some singers sing the word "papa" with accent on the second syllable, which no American English speaker that I know would do. It's a very sweet song that I can definitely relate too. I changed the words of the second verse slightly, replacing "always the clown" with "so wise and strong," just to make it fit Pap a little better. He definitely had a great sense of humor and loved a good joke or funny prank, but it was rare for him to be "the clown." I never called him Papa, only "Daddy" and later "Pap," after his grandkids were born. If you still have your father, take a moment to tell him that you love and appreciate him and why. Do this not only on Father's Day but anytime you have a good opportunity. :-) If your father is gone, I pray that you have the same kind of happy memories that I have of Pap and more importantly, the Promise of seeing him again with the Heavenly Father. Thanks for watching!

I had my Father but my Son didn't have his. No one could know how this feels without going through it. Paul, you may have "retired" but you really haven't. Not in yo heart. The song was beautiful. Thank you. BB
Beautiful! My brother sang that song in a school program when he was very young back in the early 50's I believe. Happy Father's Day Daddy.
❤LOVE THE SONG!!SURE MISS MY DADDY!!
Remembering all the dads in heaven today!!!💜❤️💛
I love you and I miss you, Dad,
and though you've passed away,
you'll never be forgotten,
for I think of you each day.
If heaven celebrates this day
how special it will be.
A gathering of the many dads
upon our family tree.
Your father and grandfather
and great grandfather too.
How wonderful it is, if they
can spend this day with you.
May you know how much I love you,
though I'm here and you are there.
Happy Father's Day in heaven
to the best dad anywhere!
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and meaningful poem. God bless you!💕🙏💕

Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and sharing those lovely lines about fathers!
@@jsellick6468 I am so glad the poem had meaning for you!! God bless you! Esme’💛🌻🙏
Absolutely beautiful! Paul my dad has gone to be with the Lord
Beautiful ode to all the fathers, on this special day! My 95 year old dad passed on March 2 of this year. He had an amazing life! I miss him, terribly! Thank you Paul!❤️🙏🇨🇦
Thank you, Gary. Sounds like you had a wonderful father and a very long time with him! As an educator, I sometimes contemplated the fact that most of the students in my school unfortunately never knew parents like mine. I had my father for 40+ years, and so many never had one at all. I still miss him, but this thought or perspective helped me.
Lovely rendition! I miss my dad! 😥
Nice job. This was popular when I was about 10 and I’m 79 now! So, it really took me back!!
Thanks, Judy. It's a classic. :-)
Sweet remembrance of your father on this special day. Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. God bless you all. 🙏 ✝️ 🙏
Thanks, Janet. God bless you and your family too!
Great song Paul! Thanks for sharing, and God bless
God bless you Paul as you sing this precious tune. Remembering the days you were blessed to have here on earth with such a great PaPa.
Knowing that all who know the LORD, will one day be reunited with all of our loved ones. Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕🌄
Amen, Linda. Thank you very much!
A beautiful song to honor all the fathers and father figures.
Thanks, Carol! That's exactly what I was going for. :-)
Oh, what a sweet song. ❤🎶 Very much enjoyed the pictures. I love the line, he'd change my tears to laughter. 🥰 God bless.
Beautiful on this Father's Day! You favor him so, dear Paul! 🥰
Thanks a bunch, Kimberly! In the words of Nick Cage, that's high praise. :-)
Thanks for sharing, Paul. Give Granny my love
Thanks, Janice. Will do.
Beautiful song filled with images and emotions of a loving relationship with your father. Well done. Blessings for all of you on this Father's Day. Thank you for sharing.
Debbie, thanks so much for watching and commenting! God bless you and all your family too.
An absolutely wonderful Father's Day tribute, Paul, reaching back into the 1950s for Oh My Papa. The photos from the family album featuring your father, Jerry 'Pap' Wilson, are genuine treasures. 👍
Noah, thanks so much for always watching and commenting with such kind words/thoughts.
Lovely Paul.! Made me cry ❤❤
Thank you Paul for sharing your song with us.Happy Fathers Day to y'all and God Bless y'all.
Thank you, Paul. I loved my dad so much.
Dear Paul,
Thank you for the beautiful rendition of “Oh,My Papa”. I’ve sung that song since I was a little girl and always loved it, but I’ve never been so emotionally moved as when you performed it today. Your commentaries are always so well written. I’ve never heard the accent put on the first syllable before, so I appreciated your explanation.😊 Love all the duets with you and Pap! God bless you and thank you for sharing your talent with all of us! Your nieces and nephews are certainly blessed to have you as an uncle!!🤗🎼🤗🎼

Wow! Thank you so much for those very kind words. :-)
What a sweet video, Paul. This song was popular in my youth, and I enjoyed hearing it again. As always, enjoyed your commentary as much as the music. The old pictures with Pap really added to this tribute. You were blessed to have such a fine father.
Thank you so very much. :-)
Great job Paul! God bless you!
Very nice tribute to your dad and to all our dads that are now in heaven. Thank you Paul!
Beautiful as can be!❤
Great song, i remember it from music class in fifth grade. Well done Paul!🙏❤️🙂
Thanks, Linda! That's cool! Papaw (aka Ed Ammons) said he sang it in elementary school too!
I really enjoyed your song and the photos along with it. A very beautiful tribute.❤
Loved the pictures-gives us more insight into why you loved your daddy and still miss him so much. A Father’s Day in Heaven beats any gift ever …just not for ones still here. Love for all missing their dads today!
Thank you so much, Lori. Glad you enjoyed the video.
😢, God bless you Paul, Happy Father's Day ♥️
Oh how sweet! My favorite picture is yall playing the guitar outside under the shade tree ❤
Beautiful song and photos Paul, I loved it! God bless all of you
Thanks so much, Janet. God bless you and your family too!
So sweet!
Oh Paul, that was so beautiful! I am blessed that I still have my wonderful Daddy here with us. He'll be 93 years old next month. Of course I never knew your Daddy, but just by the things you, Tipper, Granny and the girls have said all your subscribers know that Jerry Wilson was a fine and Godly man. Happy Heavenly Father's Day to Pap.
Leigh, thanks for that beautiful comment. :-)
Beautiful song for Fathers Day. Love all the pictures. Brings tears to my eyes. Happy Fathers Day to all the Fathers, and treasured and beloved memories of all the Fathers that have passed away. ❤ 🙏
Thanks so much, Jill. God bless you.
I am German and I remember this song when I was a child. I called my father Papa when I was a child but call him Pop now. I am lucky he is still with me at 88.
Thanks for sharing the pictures in remembrance of your father.
Thank you so much! Keep enjoying and spending time with your sweet Pop. :-)
That was beautiful Paul. Thank you.
Melting my heart as always. Thanks happy Father’s Day to all the papa’s out there.
Happy Father's Day Pap.... and to Matt, Steve and Austin as well...ok,ok...to you also Paul. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Beautiful, Paul! I need a tissue now! My sister and I were blessed with a loving father too. We are grateful to have many happy memories and can't wait to see him again with the Heavenly Father. I loved how you replaced the words "always the clown" with "so wise and strong" to fit your father better. That was very thoughtful of you! Thanks for sharing this song, Paul.
Kathleen, thank you so very much. I'm glad you were moved by the song/video. :-)
so beautiful paul thanks you brought back a lot of memories and havent heard it for years have a great day faters day here not till september
Nice, mellow, song.
So very sweet.
No apologies needed. For a heartfelt song, or poem, have their own excuse for being.
''While we receive only one immediate Father in this old world.
Still: we cannot deny all of those past Fathers between Adam...
that it has taken to get us all here this Father's Day.
Nor can we deny the very Author of them all.''
~Just another one of those many one's of... ''We His Believer's''
Who's patiently waiting & watching for '.' His✝Just⚖Return🪃'.'
Amen, and thank you!
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢. My daddy gone too ❤
God bless you, and thank you.
Beautiful tribute to fathers!
Happy Father's Day Pap! You have left a wonderful legacy in your children.
Agree and Amen.
Thank you, and God bless you!
Paul that was beautiful! I’ve never heard that song before. I enjoyed seeing all the different pictures of Pap. You look a lot like him. I know you’re not a dad, however, being a teacher and school principal for many years, you have been a father figure to thousands of children during those years. With that said, Happy Father’s Day! A father is not always a blood relative, it’s a man who inspires the good in any child, listens to them with understanding and guides them to the right direction to fulfill their purpose in this life.
Thanks, Christine! That's a great point. It's kind of like I heard Ira Louvin say once, "There's a difference in being a mother of someone and a mother to someone." The same goes for fathers.
Happy Father’s Day Paul beautiful song😊😊
Beautiful Paul this made a huge lump in my throat so Heart Felt
Thank you! You are such a talented young man, a great talent in not only your singing but the background info on music the history and background of writers. ❤
Thanks, Angela. It's always great to know when listeners find your music moving. :-)
That is an old beautiful song I will never forget. It brings tears to my eyes thinking of all the awesome Fathers and Granddads. So awesome. Happy Father’s Day . God bless you all.
Thanks so much, CSNanny. Glad that it moved you. :-) Enjoy the rest of your Sunday/Father's Day.
Such a heartwarming song and beautifully sung!
I like reading what you have to say about these songs just as much as I like to hear them. Any of us who've been around here a minute know how much y'all revere your late father and what a fine job he did raising his family! Thank you for the beautiful song and the message today, Paul. 💞 🙌🏼
Thanks so much for all the years of watching and commenting! We really appreciate it!
So lovely....I sure miss my Dad. Thank you
Nice
That was beautiful, Paul. It made me teary-eyed. We called one of our grandfathers, Papa. I sure miss all the men who were father figures in my life. God bless you all.
Thanks, Lisa. God bless you too! It's good to know when music we've made is moving to the listener. :-)
I think I learned that song in elementary school. The teacher taught us. She sang it using mein instead of my. The papa was pa pa with equal expression on both. Same note, no emphasis in particular. That was two thirds of a century ago.
Cool! Thanks for sharing that Papaw. I'm saying Papaw with equal emphasis on both syllables. :-) I can remember singing Red River Valley in music class in elementary school. They don't sing the old classics anymore. Kids just don't have the attention spans, I guess...
@@BlindPigAndTheAcorn I am papaw to my grandboys. They call me Pap-aw.
That was wonderful Paul, thank you
After reading your narrative on your dad and the song I want to also say I had a wonderful father as well and I’m glad that you and your family had a great dad. I still cry every day. I miss him terribly and I’m sure you do and your family as well, when you lose that patriarch of your family part of you go with themI think….maybe I’m just a sentimental fool, but Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out in the world 🌎 and thank you for being great fathers❤
Paul you did a great rendition of this song and who cares about your background I’ve been trying to move three different times and the inspections all failed on the homes I packed up and still haven’t found a home I had to unpack three different times. I laughed when I read that.😂😂 I still don’t have my current home in order😅
Good luck on refinishing your floors that’s a job all itself!!!!
Thanks so much. Nothing at all foolish about what you said, and best of luck with getting everything fully settled!
I so enjoyed 😊❤
Eddie Fisher has nothing on your brother. I love that song
Wow! Thank you so much for that wonderful compliment!
Beautifully played & sung, Paul! Sweet tribute to Pap.😊
I've heard a few singers over the years, including the ones you mention in your description. Even Jim Nabors sang a version in Gomer Pyle. 😃
Thanks, Robin. Yes, Gomer's version turns up second when I do a CZcams search. He sang it really well. I wish there hadn't been dialogue going on while he sang it.
Beautiful!❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this ❤
❤
Beautiful tribute!!😢❤
Very nice. This is only the 2nd time hearing this song ,the first was Jim Nabors on Gomer Pyle.
Thanks, Linda. Gomer sang this song on an episode. You can find it here on CZcams. He sang it very well.
What a beautiful song for father's day ❤patsy
♥️✝️🇺🇸
Paul, beautiful song and tribute. I love those pictures so much. Are you refinishing hard wood floors or putting down carpet or something else. Projects like that are so much better when they are over with--if you ask me! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and commenting. So glad you liked it. I am taking up tile and putting down laminate (fake hardwood). :-)
This song destroyed me but thanks anyway,
Thank you so much. I hope it was cathartic in a good way and somehow helps with healing if you've lost your father. God bless you.
