I remember being a little girl and my mom was a nurse one night she was laying in bed because she had to get up very early in the morning for work but she used to leave her radio so that night she let me lay next to her as she cut the TV off and this song came on the radio and she was singing it and I just lay there and listened to her sing I know most people would say you're a black girl how do you know that song my mom passed away 4 years ago and I'm 45 years old and this song makes me think of her I've been looking for this song for a very long time and didn't know who sang it 💕🙏🏽💞
Music is felt and heard in our hearts ❤ ALL OF OUR HEARTS ARE THE SAME COLOUR ❤ this is the most beautiful song. Love can be so devastating, but I certainly hope everyone gets to have the experience of love, however it turns out. It's a tiny piece of our hearts that is forever changed. Yes, I'm weeping🕊️🌹
This song came up in my subconscious from when I was a child I lost my mom and my dog is sick and I'm going through a lot of stress and I don't know it just popped up in my head and that's how I feel right now it's just like on and on and you smile and you feel like crying.
Oh yes I lost mine too. And my dog to watch them both die. Praise God for music and the lyrics are so true keep on trying, and a smile when I feel like dying. God bless us both
Songs pop in my head like that a lot. I put 'em in my Tidal app and think about the lyrics and they help me understand myself better. Hang on , Sloopy!
You may feel all alone..........but l promise you're not the only one. I pray things get better for you, me, and all the rest of us living lives "of quiet desperation."
I literally just woke up from a dream about this song. Lately, I’ve been getting signs from my spirit guide. I confirm and have asked for more, now this dream. I’ll journal about it as it doesn’t make too much sense now but perhaps later it will. Peace and love everyone ~
I am in love with this song. I've not heard my favorite song in YEARS, one from an era when music had a meaning, and a story, not lyrics or melody that sounded void of any real meaning. This will always be one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing
When it came out I always felt it was a nice little song. Pleasant enough. As I got older I realized how incredible and Powerful it truly is in its subtlety. Stephen Bishop's voice is perfect and if he had never written another song thank God he gave us this one
I always tear up hearing this song,think about my friend and his mentality disabled young sister who both have past, his sister always played this song when I was younger.❤❤❤
Love this song❤️💔. Makes me think of my Beautiful Husband who’s now is Heaven💔. Lonesome Suz, she’s in love with ol’ Shawn. Take him from the fryer, into the frying pan. On and on, she just keeps on tryin’. And she smiles, when she feels like crying. On and on, On and on. On and on… 😭😭😭😭
This song was the soundtrack to my first semester away at college at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville in 1977, alone, wandering the vast and beautiful campus, missing the love of my life back home. Thank you for the memories.
A modern day saloon song....set in the tropics somewhere with rum in your drink and a tear in your eye. Sinatra would be proud, especially since you mentioned him in the song. Love this song and others by Bishop because I feel he lived these experiences lyricized in many of his songs.
What a lovely, soothing and sad song ... Have always loved listening to this song, ever since I first heard it on the radio in 1976 , when I was a student in the UK. Now back in sunny, tropical Malaysia. 🌞
Those were the days oh yeah ,great music and good times not like today ,too much to mention just watch the news people lost their minds craziness everywhere 🤨
🇯🇲 Down in Jamaica They go lots of pretty women Steal your money Then they break your heart Lonesome Sue, she's in love with old Sam Take him from the fire into the frying pan On and on She just keeps on trying And she smiles when she feels like crying On and on, on and on, on and on Poor old Jimmy Sits alone in the moonlight Saw his woman kiss another man So he takes a ladder Steals the stars from the sky Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry On and on He just keeps on trying And he smiles when he feels like crying On and on, on and on, on and on When the first time is the last time Can make you feel so bad But if you know it, show it Hold on tight Don't let her say goodnight Got the sun on my shoulders And my toes in the sand Woman's left me for the some other man Aw, but I don't care I'll just dream and stay tan Toss up my heart and see where it lands On and on I just keep on trying And I smile when I feel like dying On and on, on and on, on and on On and on, on and on, on and on On and on, on and on, on and on, ooh Songwriters: Stephen Bishop
This song reminds me of the extinct creatures Prorastomus and Piligrimella, both lived 50 million years ago and were the ancestors of the sea cow and elephant, respectively!!!!😂❤😊

Damn! I really like the sweet melody of this song. But I just can't grasp the meaning of these lyrics, such as "take him from the fire into the frying pan," or "steals the stars form the sky. "Somebody please explain to me.
Steal the stars from the sky has a double meaning. Sinatra was a star. But it can also mean bringing something close to you on a time of hurt (no one knows about that, not!)
Boy they compress the shit out of music when it digitized. I own this 45 and so much is missing ing the background. I do feel sorry for you kids. You think you get clear sound but your actually getting less
For fuck sake.... LithuaniaHQ bought noname songs in 2019 just to upload on their YT channel the song for 2000 Euro ~2200 usd. But these song were not hit songs. And the creator also got money after views.

Music has no color, don't let anyone tell you any different. I'm sorry you lost your mom. I lost my mom back in 2008 and I understand your pain.
Agreed. Music is the one thing in life that brings us all together. It has no color. It’s a lovely song and I’m glad you were able to find it 🙂.
Such a beautiful time. Thanks for sharing that.

Back in my day, growing up in North Carolina, we call this "Blue eyed soul". Hard to duplicate this sound...cudos to Stephen Bishop.
@rmauriced "Blue eyed soul" - what a lovely description. SB was/still is popular in the UK, but I've never heard that phrase. Thank you.
This song makes me want to go grocery shopping and buy organic fruits and vegetables
LoL interesting comment. LoL
adore and always cry to this song..
thumbs up great song

I remember Stephen bishop from k-tell albums
Old songs never die❤,I remember my high school days,
This is one of those catchy, melancholic songs that grows on you as the year wears on.
Just like the Escape. A.K.A. The Pina colada song.
I haven't heard this beautiful track since the 80's. Professor of Rock's interview with Stephen Bishop brought me here Thankfully
I am in love with this song. I've not heard my favorite song in YEARS, one from an era when music had a meaning, and a story, not lyrics or melody that sounded void of any real meaning. This will always be one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing

This is so gentle
Brilliant masterpiece. I do not say that lightly..
Love this song❤️💔. Makes me think of my Beautiful Husband who’s now is Heaven💔.
Lonesome Suz, she’s in love with ol’ Shawn.
Take him from the fryer, into the frying pan.
On and on, she just keeps on tryin’.
And she smiles, when she feels like crying.
On and on, On and on.
On and on… 😭😭😭😭
Omg you're making me cry!!??
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I hope the memories of your life together comforts you🫂💗

I hope you made Beautiful memories at college & the love of your life is still with you🥰
Am 61 yrs old he's still my idol..
Straight back atcha - I'm 62. This song reminds me of being 16 in 1977 and discovering unrequited affection. And I love this song.
@@Rooti1I was 17 and I had my very first kiss on a beach. I just weep when I hear this. Beautiful
Still sing this in my car with my daughter's singing along to it since they little...
This calms my heart and soul everytime I hear this. Scaping from this sad reality ain’t easy but with a good music like this, everything seems nice.
on and on i just keep on tryng.....smile when i feel like crying...my life since 1974 when i fell in love with elaine.
Its ok to be a lesbian
I had this album in high school in the 1970’s… I loved it, I would sing it over and over… my brother broke it… still hurts.
Oh darling how awful. My little sister jumped and broke all my albums. 💔
One of my favorite songs. It's the rhythm for me> I love the lyrics but the musical arrangement during this time was just unique. Awesome.
Every time scarcity hits me, I just listen to this song.
Melancholy seldom sounded so mellow, feel like i am an an island trying to find the meaning to being.
A modern day saloon song....set in the tropics somewhere with rum in your drink and a tear in your eye. Sinatra would be proud, especially since you mentioned him in the song. Love this song and others by Bishop because I feel he lived these experiences lyricized in many of his songs.
Loved the image …”in the tropics with rum in your drink
Summer of 77. I was 17 and working as a lifeguard.
I was 10 & Loved this song. The 70's & 80's were a Great time to be young.
The Music! *Chef's Kiss*💋
I was 8. Belting out every word in the backseat
One of my favorite songs...then and now.
Bought this album when it came out. Still have it and play it often
He gave his love a cherry, that had no stone
What a beautiful way to say it. Haven't we all, once or twice? On and on...
What a lovely, soothing and sad song ...
Have always loved listening to this song, ever since I first heard it on the radio in 1976 , when I was a student in the UK. Now back in sunny, tropical Malaysia. 🌞
Always loved this song and went looking for or. All I could remember was that a ladder was mentioned in it! ❤️
Love you for this Stephen Bishop
Still holds up.
What a wonderful melody
Soothing song!
Great standard. Bishop
Rocks...
I heard Save It For a Rainy Day in Trader Joe's today. That brought me here.
beautiful song
Singing my life with his song. Thanks, Mr. Bishop.
classic
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of hearing, quite simply! (Cláudio de Melo)
One of "yacht rock's" finest.
❤️🙏❤️
really soothing...
Heard this tune while watching Family Guy. Peter and the big Chicken were racing!😂 iykyk
Classic song.
80's Memories
What do you mean? This great song is from 1976.

🇯🇲 Down in Jamaica
They go lots of pretty women
Steal your money
Then they break your heart
Lonesome Sue, she's in love with old Sam
Take him from the fire into the frying pan
On and on
She just keeps on trying
And she smiles when she feels like crying
On and on, on and on, on and on
Poor old Jimmy
Sits alone in the moonlight
Saw his woman kiss another man
So he takes a ladder
Steals the stars from the sky
Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry
On and on
He just keeps on trying
And he smiles when he feels like crying
On and on, on and on, on and on
When the first time is the last time
Can make you feel so bad
But if you know it, show it
Hold on tight
Don't let her say goodnight
Got the sun on my shoulders
And my toes in the sand
Woman's left me for the some other man
Aw, but I don't care
I'll just dream and stay tan
Toss up my heart and see where it lands
On and on
I just keep on trying
And I smile when I feel like dying
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on, ooh

Damn! I really like the sweet melody of this song. But I just can't grasp the meaning of these lyrics, such as "take him from the fire into the frying pan," or "steals the stars form the sky. "Somebody please explain to me.
Those are sayings. If things are bad , like in a fire, you won't be better off in the frying pan!
Steal the stars from the sky has a double meaning. Sinatra was a star. But it can also mean bringing something close to you on a time of hurt (no one knows about that, not!)
I would as the frying pan might be slightly better 😆
Thank you so much Mr. Wright for your great interpretations.
Is that something like "I'd rather be a sparrow than a nail"?
I love the musical beauty of this song so much. The lyrics don't exactly shine a flattering light on women though, LOL.

I am trying to understand how come Jamaican ladies are not getting upset about the lyric?
There are lots of female holidaymakers in Jamaica of all nations

i like the Kermit the Frog version more better
Why would American Idol want to use this song? Their target audience isn't 60-80.
Who else was brought here by the giant chicken? Family guy never fails
