I'm 50. My dad's favorite singer. He almost looked like him. Lost my dad 19 years ago due to cancer. He would of been 78. Miss you dad. This song's to you. 🤗
My late Dad loved to fish on the Miramachi. I’m almost 58 and my Dad died with bone cancer on Dec 30,2013 at the age of 85. He would’ve been 94 on August 31st.
I saw Ray Stevens in Pascagoula, Mississippi, at Ingalls Shipbuilding’s 50th Anniversary. He sang his song “Mississippi Squirrel Revival” at the ole Baptist Church in Pascagoula, which is where my oldest daughter got married.
I don't remember this one, but it's classic Ray. The rhythm of the verses is always the same in every song and then he always has a catchy chorus to go with it.
all of his songs have a very good meaning to them. This one is dont be a drunk, but if you are we still really do love you still and your part of the community.we will keep a arm around you buddy. Not like todays judgement and support of it.
Once in the navy, while stationed on the USS George Washington while she was home ported in yokosuka japan ( a long way from home for a country boy from rural alabama) a friend of mine and i took the ferry to sarushima island (monkey island) to do some fishing, well we decided it would be a good idea to buy a bottle of this deceptively tasteless (literally) drink called shochu. We also filled up a backpack with chu-hai cans (shochu and soda) and proceeded to get too drunk to bait a hook. Good times, bad sunburn, but good times none the less.
We ain't that old. This came out almost 25 years ago. Ray been releasing songs since the early 60s. I wish we could get some new stuff but I don't want him to pull a Mel McDaniels on us and work himself to death. I remember seeing Mel at the Armory during his heydey and then later in life I felt bad even though I still loved his music.
I remember when the "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" hit the airwaves. It was suggested by a member of our church choir to perform that for one of the following services. (I'm from rural, conservative South-Central North Dakota)
@@thomashartman6687 Hello Thomas. So sorry for the late hour but I woke up and decided to check my phone. I hope you're sleeping soundly with sweet dreams and I pray when you awaken, you will have a great day filled with BLESSINGS, JOY, HAPPINESS AND LOVE 🙏💞🤗😁💞🙏🙏🙏
I Love this song. It's one of my favorites. My Daddy's name is Harold. He passed away in 2008. He would have been 82 this year. I think Daddy would have Loved this song especially since his name is in it. I wonder if Daddy knew that Ray's name is Harold too. ❤❤❤❤
No doubt in my mind Buffett could add this classic into one of his shows, maybe it is past ole Ray’s prime to even have him join Jimmy on stage, but if they did choose to join efforts, everyone in the crowd that evening would certainly never forget such a time. 🍻🇺🇸😂🇺🇸🍻
Creative Ray, AGAIN!!! people go watch his others about the govt which doesnt make what the govt does acceptable but Ray Still Tells it as It IS, in his music-Vids
I ain't never seen a red one of those boats. I got me a green one back 30 years ago. I had fun with it but I hated the seats. Ya had to lift your legs to swivel around cause there was chair supports in the way.
My friend invited me out to his house to hang out and go fishing. It was an hour away and he didn't live there that much. He planned to move there but didn't. Anyways i treated it like a vacation and brought some beer. When we went fishing i brought the beer. Well i guess he wasn't much of a drinker. He didn't really mind but it became awkward as i apparently was sipping beer all day long smh. I didn't get drunk. It just felt like vacation for me :) After that i reduced my consumption. It was becoming too big of a habit. Your brain plays a trick on you where u think drinking makes everything more fun when its actually the other way around. You can appreciate the finer things when u aren't numbed out from alcohol.
Two guys are fishing in a boat a bottle floats by, fisherman snags the bottle and uncorks it out comes a genie and grants one wish to the both of them. Full of doubt the fisherman who snagged the bottle exclaims "turn this lake into 🍻 beer" viola they look down and the whole lake is a pale lager... The other fishermen turns to him and says "now why did you go and do that 😮now we got to pee in the boat"
🎉Raybo you caught one😂I thought I was the oldest on record being called that '84, it was an insult because we didn't have cargo pants in the 80's and I wore BDU's... Sometimes highschool sticks with you for life...
I'm going to ask the obvious question that nobody else asked. Other than America! Why do you have a shotgun in the boat? And where are you fishing that you would need a shotgun in your boat? These are things that us humble fishermen would like to know.😅
I've listened to Ray Stevens since I was about 13....it all started the day the squirrel went Berserk!
Lol
One of my favorite songs

Instant Ray Stevens classic.

Not like todays judgement and support of it.
My soon to be 24 year old daughter has a hyphenated middle name, with the Raye coming from Ray Stevens. Always enjoy the music and humor.
Sweet
Such a fine line twixt telling a story and singing one.

We love it. Remember ahab the arab
my childhood favorite musician. saw him live in Branson Missouri and an amazing performance.

Very nice. Story time perfect.
I'm almost 30, and Ray Stevens is plenty before my time.
To this day I appreciate he was made a part of my childhood.
Thank you, Ray.
I’m a bit older…almost 33…I discovered this man on a vhs at my grandmas house as a kid been a fan ever since he never stops being funny

Hello Cal..
This song reminds me of my ex husband he was usually drunk while I was not when we went fishing
I live about 5 minutes away from your restaurant in Nashville! I need to check it out
You is amazing
Love the song. What was Harold fishing for with a gun, though?
Ray Stevens is from Atlanta Georgia
Hello Jeffrey..

A life lesson for the ages. Don't drink and drive a boat either, kids.
No doubt in my mind Buffett could add this classic into one of his shows, maybe it is past ole Ray’s prime to even have him join Jimmy on stage, but if they did choose to join efforts, everyone in the crowd that evening would certainly never forget such a time. 🍻🇺🇸😂🇺🇸🍻
A sober reminder of not drinkin when fishin....
He is a good Singer
When I was a kid, back in the 60s, the adults were drinking. They lost a boat in the water. Nearly the pickup also.
Creative Ray, AGAIN!!! people go watch his others about the govt which doesnt make what the govt does acceptable but Ray Still Tells it as It IS, in his music-Vids
I bet a lot of us have been fishing with that guy.
Great advice
❤
Ray freakin stevens
Yee Haw let's go!😂😂 2024
Is this the exzacket part where I have too start lieing just too keeper; 20a good 7?!'
THANK YOU I NEEDED A GOOD LOUGH 🤣🤣🤣
I like the battle flag beer cans and bottles i wish i could have one
This song reminds me of my grandfather because it's about facing
😂😂 cracks me up

I am 87 we had the greatest today what do we have
The title reminds me of a Jeff Foxworthy joke.
This song reminds me of another fishing/drinking song: ruclips.net/video/Y3RO7LtH7GU/видео.html
What was the shotgun for during a fishing trip?
Somethings are just better left unsaid (or noticed). 🤣
And why was it loaded?
When I had a bass boat, I'd fill the live well with ice and Guinness Extra Stout. We never were too drunk to fish, however...
100 percent right
i loved the name of the boat. SS Ethel lol
I’ve loved Ray Steven’s fantastic comediumship ever since I was a little gal. A shame he died at such a young age ❤
Ray Stevens is 83, very much alive, and still performing & recording music.
He always has such silly songs that are funny ass h::l
Too drunk to fish means too drunk to swim 🏊♂️ 😅 😂
I never knew you could do that.
Wow I liked u 50 yrs ago, Ahab the AArab
My husband was terrible with our finances now that he's passed away I'm in charge my bills are paid on time all the time
A funny song and video
Fishing in the kitchen sink? I thought it was "bathtub fishin'" (Jud Strunk reference)
Been there
Hey Ray it ain't a Rope it's a Line. We now know that you ain't a SAILOR!😂
He blamed it all on Harold 😆

Never go fishing with a man who has been drinkin
Ain't that a sober way.
Am I the only one who noticed that the truck at the opening changed from a Chevy to a Dodge?
I'm going to ask the obvious question that nobody else asked. Other than America! Why do you have a shotgun in the boat? And where are you fishing that you would need a shotgun in your boat? These are things that us humble fishermen would like to know.😅
Lol my ex was too drunk to fish at one time.
