Charles, Ray - Let's Go Get Stoned Lyrics
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned
When your baby won't let you in
Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin
Just call your buddy on the telephone
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned
When you work so hard all the day long
And everything you do seems to go wrong
Just drop by my place on your way home
Let's go get stoned
It ain't no harm
You're takin just a taste
But don't blow your cool
It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip
But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned

Charles, Ray Let's Go Get Stoned Comments
The genius. Thanks for uploading! I got to stop by on way home and get stoned!
This is so great!
Ashford & Simpson - whoa!
That style of music reminds me of a Friday night musical in church
Joe cocker brought me here.
Why Isn’t this on Spotify? This is the greatest spark anthem ever
Thank you❤✌🏾✊🏾🙏🏾
Hes not talking about no weed ppl, hes talking about walking the dog, King Heroin my friend the greatest of all "stones"
When I was a teenager still living at home, my mother used to play one of Ray's albums with this song on it. I never really understood it back then; well I understood the getting drunk bit, but I didn't know what 'getting stoned' meant. All the same, I just loved how the song made me feel, the soulful emotions just made my toes curl. It was definitely an escape for a teenager who was totally confused about life at the time.
My grandma used to sing it all the time when she would sweep and my mother would get all upset. Lol I didn't know what it meant at the time so I'd ask if I could go get stoned too 🤣🤣
To the 145 people that thumbed down this song. Ur moms a hoe
Great music but don't care for the lyrics. Ray was a genius! Thanks for posting.
Ray did this for his last song at the 1973 Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival.
Classic ray Charles
Imagine how this went over ....herb was 35 cents a joint in the sixties kiddies.... matchbox was 2 bucks.. Not that I'd know at 65....
Hey, you can sure smoke *and* drink, but i find it real hypocritical that soccer mom's find it evil, meanwhile they go home & finish 2 bottles of wine & pop a couple xanax every night... you have fun dying before me😆
Real Boozy backup singers with Ray's beautiful vocal.
I know die-hard stuffed shirt church folks were upset about this dehbuh music
💙💙💙
This is the best version simply because of Ray’s voice and the maturation of his piano and the great Billy Preston’s organ. Top FUCKING notch!!
1.5X is pretty hip too!
Pretty sure he was talking about heroin
It's gotta be tough shooting up as a blind man..
I respect his dedication. I was an IV drug user for 2 years and it was hell. I can't imagine doing it blind. I give credit where credit is due.
@Beez Trapp credit aint due for that.i hope your clean. My brother just died with a needle in his arm
@Dylan Gold I've been clean for over 5 years. My heart aches for your family. I hope your brother has found the peace he couldn't in life. Sending love and hugs.
And the world would know peace of this was the case.
And on that note, I think ill take Rays advice!
Born in '88, but should have been born decades earlier.... Oh, what I'd give to sit in a smokey basement jazz joint and listen to this man in his prime.
Ah nothing like some evening coffee,sativa and Ray Charles
Oh Lawd - JARV
Ok Ray, I’ll get stoned.
Questa canzone è sofferenza, il coro gospel sembra dover rendere il tutto attraente,ma quella attrazione è malata, le voci sono malinconiche. Il coro é una combriccola di tossici che nel momento di dolore da astinenza o altro hanno un lieve calore e forza unificatrice che dice letsgo get stoned,tossico andiamo ad ammazzarci,andiamo a buttarci lentamente nello stessi burrone ma sentendosi ogni passo e sanguinare . la forza afroamericana diventa consumo, la fame si sposa su terreni,o meglio strade, fame da strada, o fama da strada,tipica dell'immagine afroamericana che oggi abbiamo adottato... Lets go get stone
Sounds like a plan.
drugs are illegal
Did ANY of you actually listen to the lyrics? It's about drinking.
GENIUS and a LEGEND
If I could smoke with anyone it would be willie nelson
he on herion mixed with weed ..ok ray i need some weed for these song
I’m a 66 year old white guy. Ray Charles is awesome!!!
When it’s 1953 and a group of black people voluntarily swim in the whites only side of the beach
This song is about 'Alcohol'.. Not Weed.. lol
There's a line in an early Merle Haggard song that every musician knows by heart, " ... but my weakness is stronger than I am ... ", one way or another.
His voice is way different ,doesn't sound like him
You don't have to tell me twice, brother Charles. Amen and a-f'n-men!
"Ain't No Harm..."😌🎧🎶
Who’s here from sublime?
To each his or her own...just let you actions stay within the law..
When was a kid in the Seventies my friend Bill and I were so in to R&B and any kind of Jazz. We used to listen to a Ray Charles record his Mom had and we always played this song and laughed. We had no idea what it was about!
Never thought Ray would made such a good blazing song haha
IDGAF IF GETTING STONED MEANT DRUNK BAK IN THE DAYS FUCK THAT IM STILL GONNA BURN ONE TO THIS SONG
My woman been treating me wrong,called up John he told me!he said! "hit the bong"
A Capitol idea. Broh

Freedom choice and peace for all xoxo

This isnt a weed song, Ray was a heroin addcit.
Best song ever
You known that Ashford&Simpson wrote this song.It's the only song they wrote about getting stoned.
EVERY BODY MUST GET STONED.
Well let's go...
Yes folks, getting stoned back in the day was having a good drunk. Brother Ray, was god.
great song...funny how stoners of all sorts, one way or another, appropriated the drinker´s slang
El amor es el lenguaje transcendental y su piedra roseta es la marihuana.
I can't be the only one on this right now 😎 happy 420 2018
Happy 420
One of a dozen or so of my favorite Ray Charles tracks.

Ray's the man - but don't forget about Nick Ashford - he's the ultra-cool cat that wrote this song
The best !!1
I don't remember this song. This is a 'record' that would have been consider "grown folks" music back in the day, and played when kids were not around. I DO recall this was the advice I received about HOW to comport myself with 'substances'.
