- Get a little laugh from this tune that was part of Blind Boy Paxton's set at Jorma Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch! This performance was part of the 2014 concert series. www.furpeaceran...
this guy is amazing, i worked security at bluesfest and got to see all 4 sets, also got to met him, such a funny man so worth seing
Seing? Bad pun bro bad pun. Intentionally or not geez. Edit real quick. Cut. Take 2
@@sxootysott7570 How else is he gonna say it bro,
Oh god damn, thank you! I needed this. Gorilla cookies?😭😭😭
My anthem.
His complaint might have easily been remedied by a big margarita. Coulda been he was too cheap.
I saw him do this song yesterday at BluesFest. It was amazing! Never laughed so hard in my life
Adorably funny song! I knew nothing about Blind Boy Paxton until I happened to catch him in "American Epic Sessions" on PBS last month (unfortunately that full video has now expired 😢). My reaction was "who is this guy, I gotta check him out." He's AMAZING! I felt as though I'd stepped back about a century!!
He was at the Iridium in NYC and closed with this song. I thought I would never stop laughing. He was awesome and played at least six different instruments including the harmonica (with no hands for a while!). Don't miss a chance to see him.
This was composed by Howlett 'Smitty' Smith, but this version is awesome 👍
Wonderful! a bit of Leon Redbone in there, Love this guy- keeping the old stuff alive !
good to listen to when you're "lyin' in the nooon day suuuun" 😄
Blind Boy Paxton is great! this was a great show!
I wish I could have played this at my 50 year class reunion.
Been there - done that, married her in the end!! great musicianship. Cheers fae Bonnie Scotland.
I just found this guy on a blues documentary. I'm a fan now
...approach a minus one.. hahaha
fantastic song and artist
the best part was him laughing. This guy is rreeeaaaalllllyyyyy good!!!
an ugly woman told me no yesterday this really hit home for me thank you
Awful, but so sublime.
How can he keep straight face doing this number?
We saw "Blind Boy" at the 2016 Cambridge Folk Festival, I hope he come back soon. He was Fantastic :-)
Gorilla Cookies 🤣🤣🤣
Wow .. natural blues .
Wow, he's sOooooooo good. I can't wait to see him live. :-)
This is awesome, love this man lol
LOL.....you always make me smile my friend!
This song has progressed so well over the years, though I liked the lyrics he took out. I found Paxton years back when I stumbled upon him playing with another band, look up those gems! The singer he was with had such a beautiful voice. Bill Murray Experience, later known as Jessy Carolina and The Hot Mess.
Do you remember which lyrics he took out? I’ve just seen him this weekend and this was my fave song!! I’m interested what the original song was like :)
dig around the tube and look for older videos, that's where I found it @@jmsareeves
I used to volunteer at the Woodford Folk Festival and had to pick up arriving artists from the airport and shuttle them over to the festival site, about an hour away. One day I had to pick up this bloke and nobody else. He sat in the back of the van and played his grandfathers banjo for the entire trip. That was the highlight of that years festival for me.
Very special talent my friend !!!
This Cat.... Is absolutely fantastic...
"I was standin' on the corner, just as lonesome as I can be, when a very ugly man walked up and tied his horse to me." - Charlie Stivers, as sung by Susan Hertel at Charlie's funeral.
Saw him at the UofL Red Barn WFPK hosted event. Such a wonderful guy.
This had been firmly parked in my "WOW" bookmark folder... A new classic (well at least for me)
Made my day.
One of my all time favorite musicians that I have played with, when he comes to New Orleans.
LOVE IT!!!!!
WOoW!! Sooo awesome
I love this. So. Much.
Had the same experience at Debonaire Danceland in east Dallas. Anybody else remember that place?
❤😂
6 women said no
Love it!
Genius ❤
Best player in the style of Blind Blake.
Awesome ! Nooooooooooooo .
Might learn this one for the Mrs
[Verse 1]
I’m one of those guys
Who let’s his eyes go rolling every now and then
Check out 'dem girls from toes to curls
And I’d love to find myself a ten
My looks survived on fours and fives
When I go on out for fun
But last night in desperation
I approached a minus one
[Chorus]
And she said no
An ugly woman told me no
Nothing make you feel quite as low
As when an ugly woman tells you no
Terrible!
[Verse 2]
I flashed my smile, did a little while
We was talking face to face
I found out that she was alone and free
So I made just a slight reference over to my place
I saw her frown, I slowed down
I was charming you know I was ever so cool
But when I reached in for the kill
That bear said
“Rrr! I’m nobody’s fool!”
[Chorus]
Oh she said no
An ugly woman told me no
Nothing make you feel quite as low
As when an ugly woman tells you no
[Verse 3]
I was crushed inside
I swallowed my pride
But I wasn’t about to quit
I showed her some little scar
That I got in some little war
And she softened up a teensy weensy eensy little bit
I probed, I searched
I mentioned church
And I’m clearly Jewish
And in fact I almost cried
But when I put in my request
She said “Request denied.”
Ugly woman
Terrible, terrible!
My parting shot was:
“I’ve only got about two weeks or less to live”
You owe it to your country
And it’s always better to give
She looked at me
I was gone for [?]
She said, as the poor gal turned and go
“Look here boy on a scale from one to ten
Your an eight and ain’t got a chance to show.”
She told me no
How could she do it?
An ugly woman told me no
You can put that girl’s face in some dough
And make gorilla cookies
[Chorus]
She said no
An ugly woman told me no
Nothing make you feel quite as low
As when an ugly woman tells you no
Talent .
HE never fails to make me smile... just can't help it when he plays.
Genius Genius
Request denied!
Exxcellanti
Awesome Thx
Legend!
I'm like a little offended but there is no way this won't make you grin and want to laugh aloud
The best modern musician
when your boyfriend shows you this song
Anyone know the cords?
He and Adam Sandler need to work together ASAP! lol
Go back to grade school first. Adam is NOT in that league
sometimes people don't want to have sex, no matter how "out of her league" you are.
oh no i think you missed the point it's just a little funny song :-)
Yes but, not in this song.
Oh no, I think you should read this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism. I'm pretty sure that this is a developmental disorder that you have, and the first step you need to take now is reading that article and understanding your own limitations.
Some might even call this this 'textbook' definition of a pretentious comment.
Which has nothing to do with this song
