That's my Brother on the drums! He was so honored to play with Hank !
This song and many others on his “tape” that you used to shove into your truck’s radio area (words are not my best accomplishments) was what I used to call great “traveling” music when my husband and I would load up the kids and “toddle” around the hill country. Mr. Thompson’s music made it so fun!!!
Yeah, you're right, Mr. Thompson is a great singer and he will forever be missed, okay tell me are you a big fan of Thompson?
This guy was fantastic!
This is the kind of thing I like to find on UA-cam - real video of Hank Thompson performing one of his classic songs! Thanks for posting!
Saw him live in 1988. A true gentleman..Was extremely nice to the audience.
On this day in 1958 {October 28th} "Squaws Along the Yukon" by Hank Thompson peaked at #2 {for 3 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart, the three weeks it was at #2, the #1 record for those three weeks was "City Lights" by Ray Price...
Between 1948 and 1983 the Waco, Texas native had seventy six records on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, twenty eight made the Top 10 with two reaching #1*, "The Wide Side of Life" for 15 weeks in 1952 and "Rub-A-Dub-Dub" for 2 non-consecutive weeks in 1953...
Hank Thompson, born Henry William Thompson, passed away at the age of 82 on November 6th, 2007...
May he R.I.P.
* He just missed having a third #1 record when his "Humpty Dumpty Heart" peaked at #2 for 1 week in 1948, the week it was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "I'll Hold You In My Heart" by Eddy Arnold and his Tennessee Plowboys...
I like you and love these little tidbits of information. Thank you, kindly for taking the time to share this, passing on information, once lost to time.
I think it's been over 60 years since I heard this song. My cousin and I went to see him live in a local bar around 1968 or 69 where the country artists played. We actually met him. He was standing at the door as we went in greeting people and speaking to everyone. Haystack Calhoun was also there and we met him too. Anyone know him? He was a famous wrestler of the time.
Dam good country music the real stuff Nashville don't want no more the bong bong shit is there now the pop rap shit .so sad!!!!
Loved Hank he was one of a kind GOD BLESS HIM AMEN
Another good real country singer that knew how to make good music
This music is the worst. Ooga ooga mushka is babbling-bullshit made up words. It does not mean "I love you."
@@frankiejo6988 Find something better to do with your life, Hon, ...like maybe try for a job working with Ed Norton. You sound perfectly qualified.
@@janettgrady2394 Ah, did I upset you??
@@frankiejo6988 so?
@@frankiejo6988 It's a beautiful, loving song about a sweet devoted squaw, unlike that hate laden comment of yours.

Love this! My Yukon!
Dam good country music i love it Thank you !!!
Ah, the call of the Yukon!
Love it !🥰
I love that real country music not that bong bong shit of now days!!!!
Great, great song, a Happy song by one of our greatest Country singers, ever, Mr. Hank Thompson.
I'm kinda confessing my age, here, but I believe I helped Hank get however wealthy he might have been, me feeding rolls and rolls of quarters into a jukebox to play his records, and every bar and beer joint t frequented back then had a jukebox full of Hank's music.
Today, I cry listening to Hank's songs, to this song in particular...knowing those folks who see this song as racist, are the same Politically Correct folks who have taken away our free speech.
I dare say no more, fearful of these evil people finding out where I live.
Fear not. It's a song of its time. It's the music and the good feeling that matters, I think. The only place where free speech is being suppressed is Russia. We're doing pretty good over here, considering. Be strong, state your thing
@@Ivartshiva Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I'm not hear to argue, but free speech here in the USA has been lost, too, as it's been lost world wide thanks to the Politically Correct arm of the ungodly, evil Communist idiots who have recently taken over the whole world.
As far as I know, these fools haven't censored or deleted any of Hank's songs, yet, but they've been very critical of this Squaws song.
I could fill pages about our recent loss of Freedom, but this comment page is not the place.
Suffice it for me to say this Squaws song is one of my Hank Thompson favorites...and I am in no way a racist.
Again, thanks for your reply.
Cheers!!! .

I TOTALLY agree with you Janett. REAL Americans are losing our country to these criminal democrats in Washington DC.🇺🇲
@@t4texastom587 We've lost it, Hon.
I've been in touch with other music fans from other nations, Germany, Italy, and Australia, and I can assure you all have lost all freedoms, and the USA is rapidly catching up to the rest of the world...thanks to you-know-who.
By the way, have you heard of what happened in Canada and the U.S....re: truckers?
Today's evil fools in D.C. make Stalin look like a choir boy sissy.
I've been around since WW II, and I have never felt as afraid as I do these days, afraid for you and others who have loved and love a free America.
Cheers!!!
Absolutely NOTHING RACIST about this - listen to the lyrics, it's a chipper ballad about a true gent who gave his heart up to a well constructed squaw along the Yukon. If anything, the song promotes interracial unions, I mean the loyal squaw even declared her undying "Hooga hooga booshka" to him as she sat upon his sturdy knee. It ought to become the anthem of Alaska!!
Great.
totally agree with harv Smith recording companies just don't get it , do they , the crapp they dish up to us today can't be called country music , they should be forced to listen to this every day, maybe then they might realise their massive mistakes
Lol! this song could never be played on the radio in this overly PC world :)
Unfortunately, you are correct. The Politically Correct crowd wouldn't allow it...music being their first serious target toward their anti-American, pro-Commie agenda. Today, 2020, these Commies have made and are making headway, now controlling our every move with their "virus" bullshit, their slanted statistics and outright lies. .Unfortunately, you're right. God help us.
😂thanks to ignorant uneducated crybabies that don’t understand history.
Is "Ooga ooga mushka" a real expression in some indigenous language?
say the word "Squaw" in a song today...no freakin way...be banned.
Tom Yazel no one knows what that means anymore
The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council warned SiriusXM that it could not play this song due to both racial and sexist elements embodied by this song
The song was broadcast July 12, 2016.
@@frankiejo6988 This song ought to be aired every day, every where. Call me a squaw and I'd be proud. Call me a slut, and I'd kick you right in the balls. Point is, we don't need or want any political nitwit taking away our freedom of speech, telling us how to think or what to say or not say. Insults are part of free speech, and so is the freedom to end up with a kick in the balls. Smarten up, Hon, a loss of one freedom leads to a loss of all freedom. Case in point...today, 2020.
People really need to grow up! The word "squaw" is in our history........whether it's used today or not!
@@frankiejo6988 big tech censorship... canada is not a free country... you should hear stories of oppression my Quebecois cousins tell... vive les Quebecois, sovereignty pour Quebec! tout sovereignty...
👍
I would like to know what Hank's guitar was I don't recognise the headstock
I believe it's a Gibson special Super400 like the one made for Merle Travis
Has to the most racist, condescending song of all time. No wonder you seldom hear it on classic country stations.
Plus, it is babbling-bullshit made up words. Ooga ooga mushka does not mean "I love you."
@@janettgrady2394 Well "Hon" seems like you need to follow your own advice.
@capitalismforme Oh FFS. If you believe that you are the problem.
Eat shit commie.
What about "niggerfucker" by David Allen Coe? That's got to offend you more, am i right?
That that’s a racist song but back then it was allowed because indigenous people didn’t matter. There is no such thing as a Squaw that’s a white man’s word for indigenous women. you’ll never hear it on the radio up here in Canada
