LYRICS:
You should have seen me with the poker man,
I had a honey and I bet a grand,
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand.
I was talking to an Eskimo,
Said he was hoping for a fall of snow,
When up popped a sea lion ready to go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to junior's farm where I want to lay low.
Low life, high life, oh, let's go,
Take me down to junior's farm.
At the Houses of Parliament
Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the President,
We all chip in for a bag of cement.
Olly Hardy should have had more sense,
He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence,
All for the sake of a couple of pence.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to junior's farm where I want to lay low,
Low life, high life, oh, let's go,
Take me down to junior's farm,
Everybody tag along.
I took my bag into a grocer's store,
The price is higher than the time before,
Old man asked me why is it more.
I said you should have seen me with the poker man,
I had a honey and I bet a grand,
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to junior's farm where I want to lay low,
Low life, high life, oh, let's go,
Take me down to junior's farm,
Let's go, let's go,
Down to junior's farm where I want to lay low.
Low life, high life, oh, let's go,
Take me down to junior's farm
Ev'rybody tag along.
Take me down to junior's farm.

I heard this song in 1974.
Anybody in 2024 ????????
Im here
Yessssssss
Always till I pass
Here! Sept 4!
Nope.
The World has been a much better place with Paul McCartney in it.
Has been? He's still here.
Warum schreibst Du war? Paul lebt gottseidank noch und seine Musik ist schon jetzt unsterblich!
A gem . Actually, the whole 60 rock scene . The worlds a better place under Sir Paul's influence.❤❤❤
And the some!
This was one if his best songs and not as remembered as many of his others. Great song❤
Juniors farm!!! Doing bongs! Out in the barn!! Thanks wings! Summer of 1974!!
This was a hit at the end of 1974 into early 1975.
@@dolbra4 He said he was doing bongs, don't expect exact memories!
Late Fall 1974
paul could teach these "rockers" today quite a few lessons. awesome song.
I'm 62 now and remember this song So well. I used to take my ten speed out after dinner back in the 70s to get high, then come back and listen to this in my bedroom or at friends houses. Good Times!!!
I'm going to be 62 in a few days. I really loved Wings. I remember having the middle school trying to be cool with by giving us a jukebox in the cafeteria. At least this was one of the songs.
@@murasaki9 Happy Birthday early! Wow! - A jukebox in the cafeteria???? Did you guys ever eat???? lol!!! We would have been around that thing for the entire lunch period.
Kindergarten 1974 in Willard Ohio. I loved that time period because it was colorful and exciting as people were more fun then.
Sounds like you have been walking though life with both eyes open
It was a great time. Fall 1974
Sang this sweet rocker to a new girl I was dating when the song came out (with harmony provided by my friend). Recently celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary . . .
That's cool man!
That's cool man!
my bf had a dog named Junior on the farm with tags a-long! lol
lol Oh, yeah . . .
That's Sweet:) Hope you have a loving future:)
50 years ago I loved this track,its just as fantastic now!
It realky is,Been a while,makes me definitely, Not what we hear today on the radio,Fantastic song and guitar work. ☝🔥🎸🎵💯😊
One of Paul's masterpieces from the 70s!
@@michaelvaladez3012 yes indeed.srill have the 45 from ,a very long time ago .Love that song.Definately a Masterpeice.Let's Go,Let's Go.Down to Junior's Farm.!🎶☝️🔥💥💯
So thankful to have grown up in the 70s when AM radio Rocked in 74 I was a 8th grader no Clue to life 🤣🤣🤣
McCartney's best and ballsiest song. RIP Jimmy, and thanks,
🌹
I took a bag into a grocery store
The price is higher than the time before
Old man asked me why is it more….man, those lyrics really ring out true today….
The rest of the lyrics are pretty questionable though
Personally I think the rest of the lyrics are brilliant. They are a bit subtle though, not everyone will understand them
“You should have seen me with the Poker Man I had a honey and I bet a grand, just nick of time I looked at his hand” Timeless to start the song!
@rboland2173 I'll buy the whole bag for Trump and mix it too.
Add this line: Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the President
We all chipped in for a bag of cement
I always associate "Juniors Farm" and "Jet" together... Good old rock n roll done by the master... Quite excellent!!! :)
Same here!
Excellent fantastic fabulous
For the longest time I couldn't decide which of the two I liked better. I've finally decided it's Jet, but only by a whisker.
I love how you tie in the ROCKER "JET" TOO! ME TOO!!
don't make me suffer-a-JET, man~
My god that bass sound is killer!!!
Yup
No wonder, its Sir Paul.
pretty average. To compressed, pick flopping. farty, no real low end. I like it but as an engineer, and musician i have to say NO .. he would agree.
It's my favorite part of the song! (Sorry, Jimmy.)
A Rickenbacker. Most distinctive (and awesome) sounding bass on the market. IMHO
I feel this was Paul McCartney at his best
It's my favorite song that Paul put out, after The Beatles.
Senior skip day keg party at the meadow lands
Absolutely agree
ABSOLUTELY
Absolutely!! Long live Paul
I can still smell the 70's in this track!
Marcus Olejnik ... Haah ! I can still remember puking my guts out from taking Placidly ( spelling may be wrong ). Hated them !
pickles?
1974
Awesome
I do too.
Happy birthday Jimmy McCulloch! Your spirit & memory lives on.
dang: and a belated happy birthday, jimmy, --and many more, SIR~ respect, and love~ miss ya, man~
"take me down Jimmy."
Gone too Soon!
I moved to N. Cali in 84 and heard this song from my girlfriends. With out this song there would not have been a Queen and TLC. ❤ I was walking down the street and you gave and a smile and you assumed
Every so often you hear a McCartney song and realise : Jeez, I forgot he'd
written that ( ie. Let me Roll it to you / Hi Hi Hi / Take it Away etc, etc )
and how brilliant it was ! The list goes on and on . Not sure how you define
" Genius " but he just is !!
I don't think there are any music stars as talented as him.... can play everything, write catchy melodies at the drop of a hat. He is a genius!
Someone that has their neurons & synapses functioning on Hi. Hi, Hi, alert
I'm 44 and the first time I heard this song was this morning. IT'S SO GOOD.
Dang where you been man lol?
Volvoplz, isn't that SO cool, when that happens !!??
I agree, a classic I never knew existed! A gem of much value hehe
Great way to wake up😇
Where have you been in a cave
This song is absolutely one of my all time favorites
Deny Lane on guitar. He started The Moody Blues, (Go Now), he quit them. Justin Hayward took over. Lane got with McCartney
I heard this on the radio today. I loved it! I had never heard it before. Killer tune!! I’m 44.
Jimmy McCulloch on lead 👏 🎸
Take me down Jimmy
I love this song! And it's all because of one of the greatest bass players of all time...Paul McCartney!
Right on point as the closing track to Poker Face episode one!
лучший рокер 70-х
Superb number, love Jimmy McCulloch's playing on it. Shame it's not on Wings Over America.
I miss my '70s.
As do I!
✋✋✋✋✋
Robert Spillane fact
Sir Paul
That's OK Bro!....We still Got em in our Head & Hearts!
Yeah!! Take me down Jimmy!! Juniors farm!! Smoking out in the barn! Listening to wings!!!
Paul can rock when he feels like it :)
oNE OF THE BEST ROCKERS EVER, RARE FOR PAUL
Check out sioly live from Wings Ove America
This song takes me back in time just like the song take you back to the farm! Still listening in 2024 and sounds as good now as it did then❤
This song Rocks!!! Let's Go!
one of his best songs with Wings!
YOU SAY "WITH WINGS" WAS PAUL IN A BAND BEFORE WINGS
Right on!
Never really cared for Wings much but this is one their best songs.
@@georgesawtooth wings featuring that-one-dude on the guitah, that's what they should've maybe-been-called, nah?
@@robertchandler5055 ya....the Beatles
Taught my five year old Niece the chorus...sometimes when we're out and about she will break into song...brings a smile to others 😊😊😊😊
I was a little lad when this song came out. Sir Paul and Linda end wings have been part of my background all that time and I'm 61 now
Great classic rocker that DOESN'T get enough airplay !!
I've heard people comment in the past that Paul McCartney didn't put out good music after leaving the Beatles and people are free to voice their opinions. But I love the music he made with Wings.
I’d call that an ignorant statement if someone ever tried to say that Paul’s good material output stopped when the Beatles split.
We share the same name, I'm John Edward Wilcox in New Jersey
Paul took it to a new level
Sir James Paul McCartney...Musicians from around the world bow down to this Legend
Best Paul McCartney song!
I named this tune in one note (the opening cymbal crash) to win McCartney tickets from the local radio station.
Awesome !! I saw Paul in Tulsa last May. Amazing show !!
I can smell whenever someone plays this song within 23 nautical miles, as the Wings fly.
It smells like birds' tears taste.
I smell more than bird tears butt hey are good too ! LOL
utubulocity wow
Impressive
I was born 61 dad died in 74 music was a big part of my heelin
I was born in 61. Dad died in 81.
Good memories, youth, don't we wish for younger days
Ma died whren 9..5 days b4 20th bday
A great idol sir paul your no.1
I was born in '62. My mom died in '90. I. Was 27 almost 28
I was a teenager loving my life. Like a blind man feeling his way round.
Thank you Paul
I must have played this song a billion times back in 74
let it rock and let it roll, Joe
JUst think this song is making it`s way thru my friends backyard right now LOL and we are all liking t!
This was Paul McCartney at his best
I made a cassette tape of some of my favorites to play in my car. Of course Junior's Farm had to be on it.
Heard it on the radio bout every day then! I was only 5 at the time!
One of Wings best!!!
Could you just imagine “Ringo” doing the drums🪘 on this tune. 🎵 🎶 EPIC!
Primera vez que ESCUCHO esta canción.....en 2024 !!!!!!!
Y tiene ya 50 años!!!!
Ése bebé que estaba en la granja com un mes de VIDA ahora CUMPLIÓ De 50 años !!!!
Springtime 1974 when I first heard this song. Been singin’ along to it every time I hear it ever since. Thanks, Paulie! This song always puts a smile on my face!
Peaked at #3 in January '75
"Jet" was released in Spring '74, "Band On The Run" in Summer, then this 1 in the Fall.
Jimmy McCulloch's playing WOW
He was the BEST!
One of the best "rock out in the shower" songs!
My favorite song is No More Lonely Nights........love love love that song!
One of Paul McCartney and Wings best ever rocker. Glad he is playing it back on his 2022 tour. As good as "Girl s School".
i know, it's like he's channelin' the-green-day, but proto-actively or somethin': most peculiar, eh what?
The last 40 or so seconds of this song is why I liked it so much
Thumbs up
FABulousNESD
Wings‼️Linda
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌟🎼🎶🎵🎸🎹🎹🎹🎹
Very underrated song one of Paul McCartney & Wings best songs.
It's hard to believe that "Faul" will be in the GTA next November...🎶
One of the best bass lines I've ever heard
Have you heard "Little Girl in bloom" by Thin Lizzy
The bass is fire in this track
Reminds me of better times. Thanks for posting
I only had to add a comment because it was 666 comments and Paul McCartney is pure and doesn't deserve any bad juju. I love him.
I made your 6 a 7
These days some people just don,t know whats good any more old but fkn great
A song he wrote when in America,when he happened to
meet Hank Williams Jr and was invited out to his large farm...
I think they must have played poker and had a great time,
a great time at Juniors Farm...thanks for posting this cool rocker
Not hank Jr. dude. It was curly Putnams place.
Great song!
Let's go back to the 20th century!!!!!
I bought this album with lawn-mowing money at an Ace Hardware in the early 70’s. I’m retired now and still love it
How has this song never crossed my radar? I heard it for the first time today.
that McCartney guy has a million of 'em!
It was a pretty big hit for Wings. Especially in the US where it peaked at #3 on the Billboard charts. But after that, it vanished for a long time and stopped getting a lot of airplay. Unlike the song Band on the Run which has always been played to death.
Better late than never. Enjoy!
@@finster1968 Thats cause "Band On The Run" was a #1 hit for them.
@@Music-tk5oq - Yeah, I get that. But Billy Don’t Be A Hero was also a #1 hit. And you didn’t hear that one much after the 70’s (for good reason). 😉
I remember hearing this when I was a kid and thinking "I LOVE MUSIC!! Thank you Paul...I'm a musician.
To wake up and hear this is the best way to start a day!
I'm 63 years old. I remember when this first came out and they played it at the roller rink - everyone had hair parted down the middle. So cool we were that we were so cool.
I loved and miss the '70's...
hey paulie! greetings from ny! ( like million others i feel like ive known you..u and your mates..like u 4 were 4 more older brothers! peace out ✌be well! 🌈
OMG my childhood would have been DEVOID OF MEANING without Paul McCartney and Wings!! Take me down!✌️🌸🌼💕🍄🌈🙏
Nashville, 1974
What a great song!!
Beginning musicians.. this is a 3 chord song, very very easy to learn, and lots of fun to play. Good cover for a new band trying to get a groove.. 😉 Thanks Paul!!
add in the solo and bass line then its just as tough as an other rock song LOL
@@elvispresleydaily3952 jimmy was a prodigy-of-sorts, you might say:: in a band-of-prodigies... quite-the-oddity
BEGINNING MUSICIANS?!?!?!?! Ever heard of The Beatles?
@@thedanielfamily1595reading comprehension.
Anyone listening in 2020? Uplifting song, cannot wait for 2021. HOPE
2023 going Strong 💪🏽
McCartney Gem! Bravissimo!
.. both lyrically and music-wise, It's clever from top to bottom...
The little coda jjs just magical
This was played quite a bit on the radio. Remember coming back from overseas and spending the summer with my grandparents before starting middle school. Ugh, the best of times and the worst of times. Juniors Farm was the best.
Juniors Farm is a great jam.
The harmonies toward the end take me to another place. Beautiful song.
Paúl Mcartney. Su música aún resuena en nuestros oídos. La granja de Junior. Una más de la Colección MCARTNEY.
Awesome Song. Why can't Rock-N-Roll Musicians today write and sing beautiful songs like this anymore?
Always like this song underrated.
This may sound strange, but this is what the 70’s FELT like.
favorite song from Wings.. great guitar! Take me down Jimmy!
It is a great rocker! 💪
😁
my dad is called Jimmy and hearing this song keeps me seeing him alive.
Always loved Paul and Linda and Wings
I think this was recorded in the great state of Tennessee.
Paul I am still listening. I was 12 years old when The Beatles first came to America. I love every album and CD you ever made. Keep making beautiful music. Love Always, Vickie E.
I hear ya! My parents were 17 at the time!
Great song. Paul wrote some real thumpers back then.
The Fall of 1977. That awful Friday afternoon hearing about the plan crash. Gone but always remembered. Lynard Skynyrd was a huge part of our soundtrack to our high school years back in the late 1970’s
finally the REAL VERSION!!! rock on.
When I was 13 I ran to Record Shop as soon as it released in Japan. Thank You Paul !!
I love every single song in this album.
With this, I was introduced to Paul McCartney when I was a kid.
I am 36 now and I loved to hear this song in concert in Mexico :D
Best wings song
Well just woke my neighbors up again.
My favorite Wings songs. Totally rocks out.
bill caldwell It does indeed. Despite what the cynics say, he has a shitload of great solo work.
bill caldwell Peter Gerstenzang Same here! My fav from Wings.. guitar is great! Take me down Jimmy!!
Loved all of Pauls songs until the late 80's when he seem to change - haven't bought one record since - 70's and 80's output is awesome.
bill caldwell mine too
underated song
HAPPY EASTER!
well, we are in the right place. singing along to juniors farm baby
Totally cool song !!!! Those chugs on the bass guitar are the most !!!! Thanks for posting !!!!
