As a writer, the line, "Well, papa should be in my place / to fry like bacon, hang like lace,"... is one of this phrases you hear and think, 'damn, i wish I'd written that!' '"
Les Goodrich, If I had been good enough to write that I would be worried for my future. People who are that creative too often end up having very troubled lives. Maybe it's better to admire his genius than to have it ourselves.
Funny how upbeat this song sounds considering what it is about. A man about to face the electric chair isn't the first thing I'd think of upon hearing this song. Love it.
It had to be. The intrinsic moral in the enunciation subject is (ironically) shaky, so if the musicality was in any way dramatic it would jar the audience, because we wouldn't empathize easily with a man who murders children, whatever the reason behind it. Or at least, we shouldn't.
Gongasoso, Me, too -- except for the mental image created by the first eleven words. At least in that piece the mood of the music more closely resembles the lyrics, where this one has me tapping my toes to "... murdered her young ..." I'm often amazed by what songwriters do.
Oh, yeah, well, Gold Digger took my money Dipped my heart and hands in honey Ol' Snake Lady stole my savings Told Gold Digger she was having my babies Well, Gold Digger swung, snake lady fell Yeah, I took Gold Digger up to Chapel Hill Oh, I married her fast, murdered her young Took my money back and made my run Well, bus driver, all in red yeah go Pull this bus over and end up dead Yeah, go drive this bus down to Mexico Park it on a cliff where that good grass grows Until a chopper came along one sunny day To burn my crops, lock me away Girl I'm eager, young and qualified Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July Oh, yeah, well, my mama, old and grey Sittin' at-a home just a-weepin' away Her only boy washed down the drain Gonna take her son and lock him away Well, mama should be oh proud of me I lived like a man, oh, I'll die like a king 'Cause I'm eager, young and qualified Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July But my pappy, old and fat Chewin his cigar with his hair slicked back Yeah, roll him over, beat him black Say it's from that boy he never had Well, papa should be in my place To fry like bacon, hang like lace Cause I'm eager, young and qualified I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July oh Big Betty, yeah my old squeeze Oh, kiss you so good, you go weak in the knees Yeah, gon' to see her old man pop I wanna have you there when my big heart stops But don't you worry, oh don't you fret No, I won't die with no regrets 'Cause I'm eager, young and qualified 'Cause I'm eager, young and starry-eyed Oh, the big leagues call and I reply I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July

wow ive had the same thought recently. My birthday was a few days ago and i ran into this performance years ago. I just listened to it and transported me to the good memories i over looked at the time with friends im no longer in touch with. im happy i forgot the hate and held on to the good because the past usually aint a good place to live.

+Bennett Ferguson And then you learn that it's just a group of about 100 people with multiple accounts that clicked the thumbs up button and watched the video thousands of times :P
My friend PISTER DIED. but turned me on to you. Thanks. I took him and my Little Brother to their first Grateful Dead shows. He never got sober like we did. He's always with us and I treasure everything about that crazy kid❤
I just love how he lets the song breathe at times, letting you catch your breath and then straight back into it. Brilliant and hella foot tappy and catchy.

+Alex Wells DADF#AD same tuning tallest man on earth plays in. basically everything sounds good with the tuning. you can't really mess up. I let it slide with this because he has the bass and tambourine to play
Saw him in a theater in Lawrence KS several years back. Capacity was a little over 1000 I think, like 40-50 people showed up. Lucky for us!!!!! He called everyone to the floor and hopped off the stage and played right there inside of a semicircle for everyone in the venue ❤
Nah if anything he shouldn't be on Spotify at all, that would force people to actually buy his album. Spotify doesn't give much of anything to their artists. It's one of the reasons why musicians are having a hard time making a living today!
I use to not either Travis but it seriously can grow on you. I came from Indiana and was raised around this and spent most of my life rejecting it. Now I am 58 years old, far away from Indiana and find myself searching for Real music with Soul and this definitely has some Soul to it :).
Kathy Miller Since that comment I have come back numerous times to enjoy his songs over and over, I can appreciate all music genres and wish everyone else could too, he's got a lot of talent and a lot of emotion.
I agree Travis, I think I'm kind of hooked also. I also love how he came up with his trade name. I bet him and his friends were a rowdy bunch to hang with.. :)
Shakey's level of talent has been overlooked so many times. What a true Texas talent. Really, really, really love this guy and everything he has put out...truly amazing!!
I have basically given up all other music since finding Shakey Graves. CANNOT. STOP. LISTENING!!!!!! This man could rules the world through his music if he wanted to. He is on fire (fans self).
OMG THANK YOU to the camera person/cinematography genius who made this music so intimate and public- for once, I wasn't wanting to see another angle or shot- or feel that I was missing out by not being there in person or seeing the wide shot. You were my eye- and where I would have hovered and focused for this song.
It's a bit crazy but this bloke saved my life I was at a crossroads , this one tune, changed my mind. I am still here , and I love this song still. Peace love and happiness
I just met him 2 days ago at Summerfest. I had never really listened to him so I had no idea how big of a name he was in the music industry.. But he was so friendly and nice I thought "well geez this guy is too friendly to be famous!" Such a nice guy, friendlier than you could imagine, and witty too, he blew an amp and played it off so well, said "alright nows the men in black moment *makes neuralyzer (thingy that makes people forget) with fingers* .. Hi I'm Shakey Graves!*. And he's also very very smart
Shakey Graves needs to see the extraordinarily overwhelming flood of positive comments that this video has achieved. He is practically God-like. Unbelievable skill and talent just radiates out of him. This is THE best version of this song and what brought me to his world. A beautiful world, indeed. THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Saw him in NY last month. Best night of our lives. We've been fans since his first song, and he exceeded all expectations !!! Legit he's the coolest person ever.
"Shakey Graves!" I love his story, music , his whole persona and aura! Long may he live his legend! What a great artist and interesting character he is.😎✌
SHAKEY GRAVES! I love it dude, I hope will all my might that you get this message. You just deserve to know that you have one of the most unique and interesting sounds I have ever heard in my entire life. You have created such an inspiring and personal style. Thankyouforyourexistence.

MWFleming folk, towards country
Fuck me i love this jam !
He should be so famous by now
He's really big in So Cal man.
I don't want to share him
Johnson Rocson he is
whareweruin92 I agree!
Strawberry or Blueberry jam?
Shakey's level of talent has been overlooked so many times. What a true Texas talent. Really, really, really love this guy and everything he has put out...truly amazing!!
You got me by your first song. Thanks man
I have basically given up all other music since finding Shakey Graves. CANNOT. STOP. LISTENING!!!!!! This man could rules the world through his music if he wanted to. He is on fire (fans self).
Get a life.
jmantonya. Audable nectar
Shakey please release this version of the song it's so much better than the other version
OMG THANK YOU to the camera person/cinematography genius who made this music so intimate and public- for once, I wasn't wanting to see another angle or shot- or feel that I was missing out by not being there in person or seeing the wide shot. You were my eye- and where I would have hovered and focused for this song.
ive been watching this video for eleven years now, and it still sounds fresh
Still one of my favorite songs/videos of all time 11 years later, I’ll see yall again at 21
Listening 10 years after listening to it, this is gold, I hope you're still writing good tunes bud! You have a talent
Shakey puts on one of the best live shows I've ever seen in my LIFE!
Thank you Shakey Graves. This was 9 years ago??? Adding this to the soundtrack of my life.
such a jam. even 11 years later.
Listen to this song about twice a year! Love it! This young man deserves to be wealthy and happy! Talented to no end!
This is the best version, he changes the tempo in later performances and it loses the magic of this one IMO
I love the way he alternately slows the tempo down, then speeds it back up in other versions
It's a bit crazy but this bloke saved my life I was at a crossroads , this one tune, changed my mind. I am still here , and I love this song still. Peace love and happiness
Glad you are still with us. I was there, sometimes still am. Stay strong.
The juice is always worth the squeeze mate
This is the most up beat song about an execution probably ever
True xD
Don't forget the murder.
They murdered his plants . Should be all fair n square now
Ok,I guess im gonna watch this everyday from here on out
This is exactly the type of music I've been looking for. So damn good.
Snap bro, he's most certainly something different
what are y’all up to 8 years later
this is now my favorite song of all time
This song just has that something that makes you fall in love with it....the story....the beat....pure raw talent
Hah. Back when he used to sit on the kick drum. *wipes away single tear*
You need to release this version. It's 1000x better than your other version
The same thing with cure what ails, the npr tiny desk version is soo much better then the studio.
This was a moment in this mans life that will be cemented in the experience of thousands... Jams baby.... Jams....
This has to be the 50th time I've watched since revisiting a few days ago.
11 out of 10......... I can't get enough of this song.
I just met him 2 days ago at Summerfest. I had never really listened to him so I had no idea how big of a name he was in the music industry.. But he was so friendly and nice I thought "well geez this guy is too friendly to be famous!" Such a nice guy, friendlier than you could imagine, and witty too, he blew an amp and played it off so well, said "alright nows the men in black moment *makes neuralyzer (thingy that makes people forget) with fingers* .. Hi I'm Shakey Graves!*. And he's also very very smart
Simply put- where’s this voice been my whole life until now?!
This might be my favorite video on the internet. Fucking incredible, just keep coming back years later.
His guitar playing at the beginning is so captivating he doesnt even need to sing...
One of the greatest expressions of music this world has ever seen
Shakey Graves needs to see the extraordinarily overwhelming flood of positive comments that this video has achieved. He is practically God-like. Unbelievable skill and talent just radiates out of him. This is THE best version of this song and what brought me to his world. A beautiful world, indeed. THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Saw him in NY last month. Best night of our lives. We've been fans since his first song, and he exceeded all expectations !!! Legit he's the coolest person ever.
I can't explain how much I feel when listening to him play.
Sweet Jesus. I trolled around and stumbled on this video. This guy is awesome. Added to my favorite artists
..Found by watching The Handsome Family and Slaid Cleaves videos.
Man I’ve listened to this song so many time I first found it on here back when no one else knew about it , And That makes me Happy!!!
Eleven Years man.... That's hard to believe.
I would take 25% of this man's musical talent and still be a damn good musician. That's the level he's at.
What if you only received 24% of his musical talent?
"Shakey Graves!" I love his story, music , his whole persona and aura! Long may he live his legend! What a great artist and interesting character he is.😎✌
Nailed it. Been listening to this for over 10 years. Happy to see its still popular.
SHAKEY GRAVES! I love it dude, I hope will all my might that you get this message. You just deserve to know that you have one of the most unique and interesting sounds I have ever heard in my entire life. You have created such an inspiring and personal style. Thankyouforyourexistence.
Sometimes, RUclips suggestions algorithms pull an absolute blinder
This will always be the best music video ever recorded. Thank you, Shakey.
Back for my weekly re-watch of the best version of this song
