Jennings, Waylon - Time To Bum Again Lyrics

The one and only,

He was a great singer- songwriter, but also a fantastic guitar player. He's got this 12 string talking to me! My favorite singer. There will NEVER be another like him!

Still just a pup!
Smooth face. a nice hair cut. the 12 string.
Sure glad they got footage of the old stars

One of a kind sound, no one was making songs like this at the time

First heard it in '66..fresh outta the Navy....still my alltime favorite Waylon tune!!

what happened to music

Oh man I miss them legends ,

I bet Nashville wishes they had as much talent in their stable as Waylon had in his little toe!!

This old stuff is real country music. Today's country music is Pop music. Most of today's country music isn't very good. I like most of the female country singers. They still have the real country music sound. All the male singers sound alike

You used nicer words than I do.👍

Larry I wish i had a nickel for every time i'd read this comment,fact is there is PLENTY of great new Country coming out,you won't hear it on your radio though,not even satellite radio, look into artists like Sturgill Simpson,Tyler Childers,Colter Wall,Joshua Hedley,Lydia Loveless and if you want I can give you a whole lot more names of artists who right now in 2018 are making genuine country and western music ,no Jason Aldean,no Florida Georgia Line, that is NOT country, not by a longshot.

one of the most unique voices

great video like # 355

I ONLY LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC. BEING A JERRY GARCIA NUT I HAVE LEARNED TO APPRECIATE A LIVE RECORDING. ONLY GREAT MUSICIANS SOUND BETTER LIVE THAN IN THE STUDIO. YOU GET TO HEAR THEM IN THEIR RAW FORM. IVE PUT THE DEAD ON THE SHELF DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF HIGH QUALITY WAYLON THAT IS LIVE(MOSTLY TELEVISION) BUT SOME BOOTLEG MATERIAL. AND THAT TURNED ME INTO A FAN AND FOR A YEAR I HAVENT STOPPED. IM 37 DUKES OF HAZZARD I GREW UP ON. OF COURSE I KNEW A FEW SONGS I LIKED BUT I WASNT A WAYLON HEAD UNTIL I GOT TO HEAR ALL THIS LIVE MUSIC!!!!! IM TURNED ON

He was so nice looking and the best singer and guitar player

The audio sounds amazing.

I didn't have good hardware back then, so I dubbed the audio straight out of the satellite receiver when this episode came on, then recombined it later with the video. Thanks.

@butanebandit Nice

not really

I'm only using earphones, but it sounds pretty good.

the man is playing a 12 string respect

He was one of the best. I love to hear him sing

Musical genius. I think he looks better clean cut than he did with the outlaw shaggy look.

Looks like you don't got taste

Bob Dylan obviously ripped off Anita your dreaming when he wrote "To Ramona"

@John Lockman Bob Dylan, Bob Schmylan. I don't know what's gotten into that old guy lately.

Other way round, pal. Dylan's song is from 1964 and Waylon wrote this one in 1965. Both are great.

Well, at least in Waylon's version we know it referred to Johnny Cash's sister in law Anita Carter, the loveliest of the western female singer of that era. I'm sure Bob Dylan's Ramona wasnt nearly as beautiful by a long shot. Waylon had to step away from the Cash Shadow when he struck out on his own, and the rough touring schedule made it impossible in those days to be faithful to anyone.

Was this song influenced by Jack Kerouac? Not that Waylon was Bob Dylan, who I think was influenced by him, but "bumming " was something from the beat writers wasn't it? Now I need to go and disect the songs of Waylon and see where his influences lay. Was this Porter Wagner's show?

Miles Winslow yes it was the porter wagoner show

He wasn't a Cricket, I think they had broken up by that time..

Will never forget this man!

He played bass a little for Buddy and was slated to be on the small plane that crashed and killed Buddy in Iowa.  Waylon gave his seat to Buddy for the fateful trip. 

Buddy was going no matter who else went - Waylon offered his seat to J.P. Richardson, known as 'The Big Bopper b/c he was sick.....and J.P. accepted. Waylon's kindness saved him and let us have some great Outlaw music.

@ncc1968 NCC1968 is right. Waylon's generosity earned him another 40 years of life.

The first session was 10 September 1958 Norman Petty Studio, 1313 West 7th St., Clovis, NM - Waylon Jennings (Waylon Jennings [vcl], Buddy Holly [el ld gt-1/ac gt-2], Tommy Allsup [gt], George Attwood [bass], Bo Clarke [drums], King Curtis [sax] + The Roses [chorus]. Producer: Buddy Holly) [*overdub session: The Roses [bck vcl]]

Man.. If he had taken that plane.... 😱😔

This has probably already been commented on, but I didn't read all the posts beyond page one:  Waylon makes a lyrical mistake at 1:20 and should have sang "There are some things that a man must do, and it's time to bum again".  His mistake is probably why he rolls his eyes.  I love the old Waylon songs like this - I think he was better before he did the long hair thing, though some of that is great as well.  SL

Who cares ?

Oh my god I can't get enough of this man...

very nice

the transformation in him from in this video to how he was in the 7's n' 8's is like no other. love both era's and times in his musical careers. blessed to have such an out-standing artist. r.i.p waylon FOREVER

best country singer ever

everything he worked for,for the future artists benefit, these balless pilsberry cowboys have ruined for decades

harrydean bentzel
AGREED 👍

pilsberry cowboys.... lmaoooo

until he got mixed up with willie nelson

why nashville didnt accept willie until he bought his own recording studio, others got mixed up w/him too..

He has a new CD out now with unreleased songs. His steel player, Robby, helped produce it. Shooter, his son, put together an 8 song album of his dad singing some of his hits and other songs you never heard of in Shooter's arrangements. Both great.

Waylon was just the best ever! Period!

I wish he was still here singing songs. He was the best and love his talent with the guitar

Lets see todays "New Country" artists top this. Good luck!

Such a lovely man...*purrrr* ...*meow*
Love his old songs too. Thank you for this ~Peace

@twink310 He gave up his seat to Big Bopper due to illness, Tommy Alsup flipped with Richie.

@jvera2121 he was the one that flip the coin with Richard Valenzuela!!and he's lucky to be alive!!he sings ok tho!!

@twink310 why??

love the sound of the 12!

This guy is the luckiest guy ever you guys should know why!!!!

Plane accident

Wasn’t his time and yet it shouldn’t have happen to any of them . God bless them all and the giant dent they left in music history

@Clarice20081 Das ist sehr traurig.

A Texan Gordon Lightfoot.

meine Mutter hieß so, sie hatte kein schönes Leben und starb mit 39 an Krebs, dieses Lied ist für sie, ich hätte mir so gewünscht, es mit ihr zu hören

He was really cool....even BEFORE his outlaw days! Great guitar pickin' too.

RAW! he behaved for a little while!

Thank for posting this!
