Any girl who can pick a banjo like that, play the fiddle solo, and drive a tractor is just fine in my book. What a fun video and song! I'll send it to my brother, too.
This is the antithesis to modern pop music videos. Modern pop is polished, auto tuned with "perfect" people. Here there are ordinary people who play and dance with pure passion. The joy and excitement shines right through.
As the candle of my life burns low I am content to listen to Marys beautiful music. As it begins so shall it end. Only the elders see how short life truly is
I just want a date. 🙈 Hey, I’ll make a fool of myself, Sweet Mary I can’t explain it. Have the shotgun’s ready. I’m not afraid. My wife passed away years ago. Sweet Mary, I’m doing a reading... And that is just creepy... I can’t her tell that Lord... I don’t even know her. 🙈 Crap 💩 Yeah I’m afraid! She isn’t going to like me. Even worse she is going to think I’m a kook, or a stalker... 🥺🤕 See, this is only to bear witness. Sweet Mary 😔 Sorry I waisted you time
I can almost smell the corn dogs, candyfloss, fresh mown grass, oil and grease. I can almost see three generations polishing a tractor the same as great grandpappy is sitting on, smiling proudly, in the sepia photo in the family album. And I can almost see baskets covered in gingham overflowing with baking from great grandma's stained, yellowing, fiercely guarded, handwritten recipe book
All these years later, this is still one of my favorite songs. Maybe it's the winning smile, maybe it's the wonderful alto voice, maybe it's the sheer joy baked into the song. Regardless, it makes me happy.
I have an open back Deering banjo, and a 1940 Farmall M. If only I could play like Mary, and use the tractor like it was meant to be used...I might be a happy cat.
A delightful song about tractors. My Lord there really has to be heaven for those who wait. Mean Mary will have you fall in love with the words with the tune with the voice she use to take your mind away!
I am convinced everything good happens for a reason. Marys music is the best reason I can think of for hanging around for another year. She is always a ray of sunshine into our humdrum lives.
David I'm a nice guy and usually don't say anything, but the intro tractor is a ford 9 n, you can see the ford emblem on the front of the cowl and also on the fender. If you talking about the one that she is driving. I have this same tractor or at least the ones she was driving.. acquired it from my grandpa.. tons of memories.
@@davidstaley3737 absolutely don't make em like the use too. but the air condition and heaters are certainly nice in the new ones .. lol have a great weekend.
I absolutely loved the last outtake, where the people are dancing and Mary is playing and singing with nat sound. You won't find too many artists willing to mingle and perform for fun with the average folk.
As anyone who has ever met her at one of her shows can attest, the real and friendly and approachable Mary you see in this video is who she really is. My daughter and I have a picture with her and she gave my daughter some musical advice, too :)
Mary, you have the voice of an angel, and so much talent on the instruments. Having gone to an antique tractor gathering, the are a special time. But you make it so much fun and we all wish we could be there. By the by, the men dancing was a hoot !! Thanks again for everything you do. You are so loved.
I live in a small town, and believe it or not, they have a tractor show! things have changed though, now the tractors are hugh, and cost 700,000 bucks or more! Mean Mary shure can play a ''MEAN" banjo"! tHIS WAS ALOT OF FUN TO WATCH!
Four years later. I love this so much, I can't even explain. These are my people. I miss them terribly. Thank you Mary. Your music brings me happiness.
fall in love with the banjo. fall in love with the smile. fall in love with the music. and in love with the voice. but most of all... the light that shines inside. It cant be hidden, and I hope you will never try. shine on oh beautiful music maker. and God bless your heart and soul. thanks BTW... I believe this is the first video that you covered up those cute little toes. lol. MUDDy
So true. It doesn't matter how negative the news and current events are. The cure is to watch a Mary James video and the world seems like a better place!
😊❤ This video is great. Can't stop smiling because of Mean Mary's music. Nice place to visit and stay at a Bed and Breakfast, would love that. Staying safe ofcourse. 😷👍
Mary, I love you. This is a delightful song, and I haven't yet heard you do anything that is not brilliant. I wonder if you ever thought you'd have a fan in Rome, Italy.
Dad was in the Navy so I didn't live the farm life but he and Mom were both Missouri farm kids. Dad has some stories to tell involving Farmall tractors. So does Harry at model railroad club. Oh, and the video is most entertaining!
Great talents and a fantastic video. I'm from Minnesota and we have a tractor show at the State Fair every year. I also filmed it because the tractors are very cool to see. Also your edit team did an excellent job on this video by the way. Have a good one and peace to all.
I love how these are edited, that little girl's smile was sincere and the footage of the guys hauling the instruments uphill, their heads bent with that "here we go again" look. I bring this up in that I see spoons being used, I just thought you might like to know, or be reminded of, that old show named "Hee Haw." In relation to the spoons idea, the Hee Haw Grandpa Jones did do things that tried to remind people of the old ways, and one of the truly unique segments I can remember is when he did a song using cowbells, they were in hand, attached to elbows, and shoes, and it was a great performance. Just an idea. Be Safe.
TOP SHELF! Again...Nashville you done missed the boat.
I just love me some Mean Mary.
My God, what talent and personality ❤
Just great❤

You are correct. Lord teach us to number our days.
Well said friend, we also see how beautiful and precious it is also.

I just want a date.

Hey, I’ll make a fool of myself,
Sweet Mary
I can’t explain it.
Have the shotgun’s ready.
I’m not afraid. My wife passed away years ago.
Sweet Mary,
I’m doing a reading...
And that is just creepy...
I can’t her tell that Lord...
I don’t even know her. 🙈
Crap 💩
Yeah I’m afraid!
She isn’t going to like me. Even worse she is going to think I’m a kook, or a stalker... 🥺🤕
See, this is only to bear witness.
Sweet Mary 😔
Sorry I waisted you time
True enough, John, true enough.
I can almost smell the corn dogs, candyfloss, fresh mown grass, oil and grease.

Outstanding comment. You are quite the poet.
Thank you for your contribution, Kade.
Keep tuning in to TH-cam Music and keep
Commenting.
You r a adjective
master. Have you ever considered writing. I believe that you have a gift.
Kade again.
I love Mean Mary’s music!
All these years later, this is still one of my favorite songs. Maybe it's the winning smile, maybe it's the wonderful alto voice, maybe it's the sheer joy baked into the song. Regardless, it makes me happy.
Wow, that's gotta be the coolest music video I've ever seen! You are very talented ❤ thank you for sharing
Mean Mary May be the finest banjo player who ever lived. This song is incredible and I also love watching the dancers.
Hi Mary. I have an old Farmall and would be honored for you to sit on it while playing and singing...great song and video! ❤😄👍
I have an open back Deering banjo, and a 1940 Farmall M. If only I could play like Mary, and use the tractor like it was meant to be used...I might be a happy cat.
Thank you, Mary. This is great. I love your tremelo and falsetto. Someone is playing the spoons. Good musicians.
A delightful song about tractors. My Lord there really has to be heaven for those who wait. Mean Mary will have you fall in love with the words with the tune with the voice she use to take your mind away!
you are gorgeous and I love your voice
What a sweet, delightful tune. I miss connecting with country folk like this ❤
I am convinced everything good happens for a reason. Marys music is the best reason I can think of for hanging around for another year. She is always a ray of sunshine into our humdrum lives.
Must be the first song ever written about an antique tractor show! Music therapy at its best.
Loved the spoon playing too...vanishing.
too cool a song, great voice
that's pretty cool song I used to have a Ford 9NI used it to pull trees out of the woods for firewood.😄
I had that Ferguson TO-20 that Mary was riding in the intro!! Great little tractor!! Loves me a farmer!!

@@ddwindowworks perhaps you're right, they are very similar...they sure don't make them like they used to.
@@davidstaley3737 absolutely don't make em like the use too. but the air condition and heaters are certainly nice in the new ones .. lol have a great weekend.
@@ddwindowworks lol, our farm isn't THAT big, or our tractor that comfortable--it's been hot!! But life is still better on the farm! Yep, enjoy!!
You have a style no one can copy love you girl and your sidekicks and your banjo xoxo
Im speechless.
really great music and how i like this video!
What a good living.

Your smiles are contagious

Nope, look again, around 2:50 into the video. There's her cute little toes. :-) Also see where she takes the red Farmall Model M for a spin...
You stole my heart!
Please keep on making your music! It's really great!
Mary's music makes me smile and brightens my day, I thank you for that.
This was really fun to listen to and Mary is cute on the tractor.
one of the most talented women in country music. wonderful voice and just an outstanding musician.
Your music always makes me smile. Thank you.
So true. It doesn't matter how negative the news and current events are. The cure is to watch a Mary James video and the world seems like a better place!

Nice ride gal .

I don't believe that global warming will ever melt the polar ice caps, but Mary's smile could.
Merci Mary, !
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice
And everything nice,
And Mean Mary is 100% beautiful music.
😊❤ This video is great. Can't stop smiling because of Mean Mary's music. Nice place to visit and stay at a Bed and Breakfast, would love that. Staying safe ofcourse.
😷👍
Mean Mary is one awesome musician, and she's beautiful too! 😍😘 (... I want the Tie-Dye T-shirt the Bass player had on....LoL 😁😎)
Oh wow! I think I've found my newest musical obsession! And now I'm headed to Amazon.
Bad ass, bad ass girl & band. Love the music and the singing. Awesome musicians!!!!
I too live in the country and love my antique tractor, a 1972 GE Electrak E15. This song made me happy.
Awesome! This blows the new country ( pop) music out of the water. How come nobody gives her a contract?
LOVE It - Dear Mary love your sense of humour !!
I'm from Southern California and love her music.
What a beautiful collection of farmalls . The banjo and fiddle AWESOME. thank you
Love your voice. Love the song too
Bringing beautiful music to regular people! LOVES me some sweet Mary James!
DAMN!!
GREAT STRINGS, RAIL ROADING,
AND ANTIQUE TRACTORS AND GREAT SONGS!!!
IM HOOKED, FOR SURE!!!
Elle est ce qui a de plus délicieux à entendre....💖💖💖
What a wonderful, happy video. Love your music!
Mary, I love you. This is a delightful song, and I haven't yet heard you do anything that is not brilliant. I wonder if you ever thought you'd have a fan in Rome, Italy.
Damn, she's good! And so much fun to watch.
I have smiled all the way thru you play that banjo like you were born with it a true pleasure
I love this video. It looks like nobody is working, because they are all having fun! Keep these coming!
This is just down home great music!
Дама в блузке в клеточку - очаровательна. А Ваша улыбка, Мэри - как всегда :) Вне конкуренции.
Обалденное промо :)
You always seem so happy playing your music! I really enjoy hearing it!!
I love you Mary
Dad was in the Navy so I didn't live the farm life but he and Mom were both Missouri farm kids. Dad has some stories to tell involving Farmall tractors. So does Harry at model railroad club. Oh, and the video is most entertaining!
love the italian plumber on the drums
Is that Mario? I wondered what he and Princess Daisy were up to.

Reach your arm up the cows to help pull out the calf
@@johncole4076 don't try this at home John
With all the retro in the air these days, I'm surprised Hee Haw hasn't been recirculated. It was a wholesome brand of ridiculousness. :)
This one, with it's quick fire lyrics, suits your voice Ms Mean. V good. With you all the way.
