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
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
And start messing up the place
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

  1. P.... B....

    The genius. Thanks for uploading! I got to stop by on way home and get stoned!

  2. E.... C....

    This is so great!

  3. C.... M....

    Ashford & Simpson - whoa!

  4. M.... ....

    That style of music reminds me of a Friday night musical in church

  5. t.... h....

    Joe cocker brought me here.

  6. P.... ....

    Why Isn’t this on Spotify? This is the greatest spark anthem ever

  7. a.... n....

    Thank you❤✌🏾✊🏾🙏🏾

  8. S.... B....

    Hes not talking about no weed ppl, hes talking about walking the dog, King Heroin my friend the greatest of all "stones"

  9. T.... ....

    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.

    T.... ....

    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 🤣🤣

  10. A.... b....

    To the 145 people that thumbed down this song. Ur moms a hoe

  11. G.... S....

    Great music but don't care for the lyrics. Ray was a genius! Thanks for posting.

  12. G.... L....

    Ray did this for his last song at the 1973 Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival.

  13. R.... L....

    Classic ray Charles

  14. j.... ....

    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....

  15. m.... ....

    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😆

  16. n.... t....

    Real Boozy backup singers with Ray's beautiful vocal.

  17. B.... ....

    I know die-hard stuffed shirt church folks were upset about this dehbuh music

  18. J.... V....

    💙💙💙

  19. D.... ....

    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!!

  20. B.... B....

    1.5X is pretty hip too!

  21. J.... T....

    Pretty sure he was talking about heroin

  22. N.... B....

    It's gotta be tough shooting up as a blind man..

    N.... B....

    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.

    N.... B....

    @Beez Trapp credit aint due for that.i hope your clean. My brother just died with a needle in his arm

    N.... B....

    @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.

  23. J.... ....

    And the world would know peace of this was the case.

  24. G.... ....

    And on that note, I think ill take Rays advice!

  25. A.... L....

    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.

  26. M.... B....

    Ah nothing like some evening coffee,sativa and Ray Charles

  27. T.... ....

    Oh Lawd - JARV

  28. T.... ....

    Ok Ray, I’ll get stoned.

  29. A.... F....

    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

  30. M.... ....

    Sounds like a plan.

  31. S.... G....

    drugs are illegal

  32. T.... O....

    Did ANY of you actually listen to the lyrics? It's about drinking.

  33. K.... A....

    GENIUS and a LEGEND

    If I could smoke with anyone it would be willie nelson

  36. M.... W....

    I’m a 66 year old white guy. Ray Charles is awesome!!!

  37. H.... ....

    When it’s 1953 and a group of black people voluntarily swim in the whites only side of the beach

  38. N.... R....

    This song is about 'Alcohol'..  Not Weed..   lol

  39. J.... B....

    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.

  40. k.... g....

    His voice is way different ,doesn't sound like him

  41. R.... R....

  43. H.... T....

    Who’s here from sublime?

  44. J.... F....

  45. a.... r....

    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!

    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'.
