+Roger Caine I sent the Lagunitas video link for Choctaw Bingo to Sun King and told them they needed to bring him to Indy. They said they'd consider it. Fingers crossed.
I saw him with my wife in a very small venue. One of the best concerts I ever watched in my life. Great food. Great music.. 10 feet from the stage. Hard to top that !!!!
how can this have only 335 likes? Great song & excellent video IMHO . . . Further proof that the world has gone mad . . . mad I tell you . . . Bwaaaahahahahahaha!!!
I'm a huge fan of James' songs. How could anyone not be? Kudos also to the superb editing work and picture quality on this video. Incredibly creative. I love all the views of the band, fans, and James. Really, really cool. Thanks.... Ramcey in Nashville
Old Carlisle needs some money He's running a seine out off the point We'll all go help him though Commercial season's closed We might all wind up in the joint There's bright lights out on the sandbar Hear the donkey motor whine The donkey man minds his business And I know to be minding mine I learned from the best Hear them crabbers cuss the weather 'N' they cuss the government too Cause nowadays crabbing and fishing Hanging on to a pot to piss in Is just about the best a man can do It's hard not to cry and cuss This old world is just bigger than us And all we got is pride and trust in our kind Old Carlisle and Uncle Freddy Don'tcha know they've seen some times They remember gaslights Oyster war machine gun fights Wish I'd known them in their prime Now they stare out past the lights To the darkness on the water I don't think they're liking what they see Long before that seine can make a circle They'll know what the outcome's gonna be They learned from the best They learned from the best So haul that seine up in the longboat We get to keep whatever's gilled Take a bag of bunkers home For crab bait and bluefish chum String of croaker for the Sunday meal String of croaker makes a meal It's hard not to cry and cuss This old world is just bigger than us And all we got is pride and trust in our kind Staring down that long steep slope We gather round and we hold out hope 'Cause at the end of the rope there's a little more rope Most times Uncle Freddy said we did a good job He's sending us home with a nine pound blue But I don't see a truckload for the market What's old Carlisle gonna do? 'Cept haul them lights in off the sandbar Shut the donkey motor down Tow them longboats up the river Let's all get on back to town Let's all get on back to town before the warden comes He knows better than to get here before dawn He's got that green uniform and the kids think he's a jerk But you know it's somebody's cousin and we can't have a hometown boy out of work It's hard not to cry and cuss This old world is just bigger than us And all we got is pride and trust in our kind Staring down that long steep slope We gather round and we hold out hope 'Cause at the end of the rope there's a little more rope Most times
A songwriting masterpiece.
Man!!!! What a GREAT storyteller!
Brilliant artist
Writes like no-one else and he's as good a writer as anyone else
Just wonderful - album is fantastic too
Saw him at a crappy road house bar in Ohio and we were blessed thanks James
Seen James do this song by himself and with the band. Each time he achieves the beauty of the song. Just beautiful James McMurtry
Saw
This man writes some of the best material around
True artist and never fails to amaze
New album a masterclass of writing and performance
Fantastic
Great show, great artist, great venue, great fresh beer.
My favorite song from James
I watch this video every few weeks. It reminds me of the brilliant song writing of Warren Zevon. Jimmy knows how to spin one.
Good stuff. Love the stories you're tellin'.
James is the real deal!
It's one of the joys of my life to see this man play live. Anytime he comes within 100 miles of Indy, I'll be there.
+Roger Caine Hope you are aware of the March show in Louisville
It was sold out before I could get to it!!! So pissed.

He writes a beautiful song he's a artist
Beautiful song , the resonator is a beauty too. Reminds me of the song Renegade by Warren Zevon.

Seemingly ,
No cover band will ever cover this song well.
He is way up there in my estimation
If you get paid for each time I watch this you can retire now ( don't you dare)
😁

I've seen him 5 times. he never plays this. outside a texas, maybe. I've seen the same show all 5 times. sigh. turtle bayou. oy.
Old Carlisle needs some money
He's running a seine out off the point
We'll all go help him though
Commercial season's closed
We might all wind up in the joint
There's bright lights out on the sandbar
Hear the donkey motor whine
The donkey man minds his business
And I know to be minding mine
I learned from the best
Hear them crabbers cuss the weather
'N' they cuss the government too
Cause nowadays crabbing and fishing
Hanging on to a pot to piss in
Is just about the best a man can do
It's hard not to cry and cuss
This old world is just bigger than us
And all we got is pride and trust in our kind
Old Carlisle and Uncle Freddy
Don'tcha know they've seen some times
They remember gaslights
Oyster war machine gun fights
Wish I'd known them in their prime
Now they stare out past the lights
To the darkness on the water
I don't think they're liking what they see
Long before that seine can make a circle
They'll know what the outcome's gonna be
They learned from the best
They learned from the best
So haul that seine up in the longboat
We get to keep whatever's gilled
Take a bag of bunkers home
For crab bait and bluefish chum
String of croaker for the Sunday meal
String of croaker makes a meal
It's hard not to cry and cuss
This old world is just bigger than us
And all we got is pride and trust in our kind
Staring down that long steep slope
We gather round and we hold out hope
'Cause at the end of the rope there's a little more rope
Most times
Uncle Freddy said we did a good job
He's sending us home with a nine pound blue
But I don't see a truckload for the market
What's old Carlisle gonna do?
'Cept haul them lights in off the sandbar
Shut the donkey motor down
Tow them longboats up the river
Let's all get on back to town
Let's all get on back to town before the warden comes
He knows better than to get here before dawn
He's got that green uniform and the kids think he's a jerk
But you know it's somebody's cousin and we can't have a hometown boy out of work
It's hard not to cry and cuss
This old world is just bigger than us
And all we got is pride and trust in our kind
Staring down that long steep slope
We gather round and we hold out hope
'Cause at the end of the rope there's a little more rope
Most times
