Good Ol' Country Singin' is a compilation album by country singer Willie Nelson, released on September 19, 2000.

Originally intended to be released on the budget RCA Camden label in 1968 (CAL-2203 (mono)/CAS-2203 (stereo)), the album was compiled, but never issued. (A photo of the intended cover appears in daughter Susie Nelson's 1987 book "Heart Worn Memories".) The album finally saw official release in 2000.

Three of the songs were issued on the "Good Times" LP (released later that year), three would remain available only on 45 rpm, and three of the remaining four would remain unreleased until 1998. "You Ought to Hear Me Cry" would be issued as a single in 1977, long after Nelson left RCA Records.
