Ohh, we were young and we were naive. For me it was the best of times. Every chance I got took me to the Jersey Shore. My Jersey Girl was worth the long drive and the late night or early morning drives back to PA where a High School was waiting to make a man out me. Then one day my world fell apart. For reasons unknown to me, I called off our rendezvous, and I never looked back. Now, in the sunset years of my life, I have second thoughts, and thirds and fourths. But it is to late. I lost the best friend I ever had. Something about that Jersey Girl stuck with me for 58 years. They say Jersey Tomatoes are the best, but I say that Jersey Girls are better than best.
@@maureensimms1979, thank you. You made my day. I'm sorry I made you cry. I know they are only words, but they came from the heart, and still do. After all these years I still can't figure out why I did it. The only answer I have is the fact that she was my first love, my first kiss and in the end, I was not ready, and it scared me.
I have always told anyone who’d listen, this is the best version ever of this song, two genius souls who feel it, live the song like nobody else, trading verses. Springsteen wrote extra verses which you l’d never guess weren’t from the original. It’s beyond perfect. Half the time I cry my face off, it’s just to beautiful. Even the recording equipment can’t bear the energy.
So well put James juice has no boundaries try to imagine a world without music how sad that would be I was asked a question I wonder what the music going to be like in heaven can you imagine love you all
Absolutely fantastic One of the best songs ever written I was there when the BOSS did this in Vienna in 2009 I will never forget this Hey Bruce, please call Your boys and come back to Europe soon I will be there for sure
@@martinmcdonald4207 you begin by playing all his albums and assessing your preferences, of course, by the time you get to the last one, you need to replay others. so...on and on it goes, for the rest of your life, trying to find your favourite Tom Waites album. Things could be worse.
@@martinmcdonald4207 PS. This was the first song I played to my gorgeous Jackie, when we met, that was for her, I played it for her as she was laid to rest.
What a version. Easily tops versions they do on their own. The things you find here! Bruce is always the consumate professional when covering other artists. This is exemplary. Shame it never made the studio
I love Tom and I love Bruce but they themselves will be the first to tell you a certain Mr Dylan is the greatest ever songwriter hands down but these 2 are certainly up there after Bob.
Never seen an actual quote to validate your claim and I would also venture to say that I can't see either one of them declaring Dylan or any one particular person to be "the greatest " join Mitchell is a whale of a song writer. I would also have to include towns van zandt and guy Clark and another writer that I have been stuck on for the past 15 years. Marc Anthony Thompson aka chocolate genius
@@tmorrow73 Springsteen is well documented declaring his admiration for the genius of Dylan one of his comments was I wanted to sing like Elvis and write like Dylan There's a reason Bruce has covered 35 of his songs live and a few on record too Chimes of Freedom. Even McCartney said there's only one man he's in awe of Mr Zimmerman the only musician in history not to just be nominated for but also win the Nobel prize for literature as well as a Pulitzer. I'm a huge Guy Clark , Van Zandt, Prine , Kristofferson fan but there all still students of the master.
That song is a reminder of that girl we are looking for. That girl who is the one, after another and another and another. Where is she? How are we going to find her? But that one is the one. No matter how we fight, there's always that one that triggers you. Even a friend can be your Jersey Girl. You only want to see her again and again and that's all that matters. A jersey girl. Happy Holidays! 2025!
I got no time for the corner boys Down in the street making all that noise Or the girls down on the avenue 'Cause tonight I wanna be with you Tonight I'm gonna take that ride Across the river to the Jersey side Take my baby to the carnival And I'll take her on all the rides 'Cause down the shore everything's all right You and your baby on a Saturday night Well, you know all my dreams come true When I'm walking down the street with you Sing sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la You know she thrills me with all her charms When I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms My little girl gives me everything I know that some day that she'll wear my ring So don't bother me, man, I ain't got no time I'm on my way to see that girl of mine 'Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world When you're in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la I see you on the street and you look so tired I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired When I come by to take you out to eat You're lyin' all dressed up on the bed, baby, fast asleep Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on We're gonna take that little girl of yours And drop her off at your mom's I know a place where the dancin's free Now baby won't you come with me 'Cause down the shore everything's all right You and your baby on a Saturday night Nothing matters in this whole wide world When you're in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la 🎶🎵🇺🇸

When I was still drinking, Tom Taubert's Blues (Waltzing Matilda) would tear me up. That's what it's about-to me anyway. About the bitch you can't run from. 24 years sober now and it still brings me to my knees.

I’m convinced some people give a thumbs down just to piss other people off!!! ... just so they know they got a reaction out of someone else!!! That’s the world we live in today.... 😕
Everytime I see the amount of thumbs down on a video, I allways think: "This is how many mentally disabled/troubled friendless persons Who has seen this video yet" And then Im glad I pressed thumbs up ☺️👍
tom i love the poetry ,, one women in poland tel me i dont want play the drancer.i was crazy and tell her what i know ..you are the gratest poet artist .you are fantastc in my minde

I saw Waits with Bruce at the L.A. Sports Arena in 1981. I think Waits was wearing a red shirt. Any chance you remember where you recorded this? BTW this is gigantic.
Two of the best 1949'ers on a brilliant song.
My two favourite artists singing this masterpiece
This is why I love RUclips. One finds such beauty as this.
It doesn’t get much better than this ❤️
and so it is ❤
The most romantic song ever written ❤️
Hello Melanie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
One of those iconic pairings that gives you goose bumps

Magnifique ! Merci !
Absolutely fuckin beautiful!
Two heroes, one song.
Thanks Tom and the Boss
Spectacular... wow Tom and Bruce, Jersey Girl
Best song ever written
Thanks Jens... and Bruce and Tom
If this doesn't touch your soul, you don't have one.
Absolutely fantastic
One of the best songs ever written
I was there when the BOSS did
this in Vienna in 2009
I will never forget this
Hey Bruce, please call Your boys
and come back to Europe soon
I will be there for sure
I was also there when the BOSS did this in Vienna in 2009!! 😆 Yes, this melted my heart...!
What an absolute great song.#
Hope every guy has got a Jersey Girl in his life.
A truly massively great song. I want it to play and play in my head, forever ...
An absolute gem of a song . Heartattack and Vine is one my favourite Waits' albums and this is the stand out track .
How do you begin to pick your favourite Tom Waits album!? But you are right about the `ever lasting timeless gem` track.

Recorded this Tom Waits version "off the telly" in 1981 - after hearing my Mammy was dying of cancer...... Love love love.......
So sorry, Carmelita. I hope she's still with you now, but if not, well, she's always with you in spirit.
I bought this on a 7" single, the b side was Jersey Girl by Bruce. I've been listening to Tom Waits for 40 years or so. Great song.
Two Legends meet only one result Classic
Jj
so true
Chapeau!! E rendiamo grazie al dio della musica e della poesia
Il Boss e Tom sono un dono..
Good God Amighty, That's a dern a
Powerful Tune
Beautiful song wrote by Tom Waits and sung by Bruce in his concerts to hear the two greatest songwriters singin together is a beautiful thing!!
I love Tom and I love Bruce but they themselves will be the first to tell you a certain Mr Dylan is the greatest ever songwriter hands down but these 2 are certainly up there after Bob.

Waits, Smith, Seger.
Three easy to find duets.
Man The Boss has fun.
This is Heaven.
I got no time for the corner boys
Down in the street making all that noise
Or the girls down on the avenue
'Cause tonight I wanna be with you
Tonight I'm gonna take that ride
Across the river to the Jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
And I'll take her on all the rides
'Cause down the shore everything's all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
Well, you know all my dreams come true
When I'm walking down the street with you
Sing sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
You know she thrills me with all her charms
When I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms
My little girl gives me everything
I know that some day that she'll wear my ring
So don't bother me, man, I ain't got no time
I'm on my way to see that girl of mine
'Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world
When you're in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
I see you on the street and you look so tired
I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired
When I come by to take you out to eat
You're lyin' all dressed up on the bed, baby, fast asleep
Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on
We're gonna take that little girl of yours
And drop her off at your mom's
I know a place where the dancin's free
Now baby won't you come with me
'Cause down the shore everything's all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
Nothing matters in this whole wide world
When you're in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la 🎶🎵🇺🇸
Dedicated to all the beautiful Jersey Girls I've known.
I'm bringing this back but...

I was there. Life changing.
wish i was there
I get shivers down my spine ❤️
Authenticity visually written all over their momentary handshake.
Bollocks Tom has turned Bruce's hand so he's on top, Bruce counters with his other hand under Tom's. Alpha games
Written for Tom's wife Kathleen.
When I was still drinking, Tom Taubert's Blues (Waltzing Matilda) would tear me up. That's what it's about-to me anyway. About the bitch you can't run from. 24 years sober now and it still brings me to my knees.
I lost my St Christopher now that I kissed her.
@@wheatonna I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old bush mill's I staggered, you buried the dagger in
Your silhouette window light
I lived that for a lot of years.
I love them and this song.
sencillamente..eriza escuchar a estos dos gigantes cantando esta hermosa pieza...

For me, the only real love song that isn't sappy or sucky
Love this song
adoro questo pezzo cantato da loro due
two saints, two heats............play it twice.
