Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary Lyrics






After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street footprints dressed in red

And the wind whispers Mary

A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterdays life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife

And the wind, it cries Mary

The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags down stream
Cause the life that lived is, is dead

And the wind screams Mary

Uh-will the wind ever remember the names it has blow in the past?
And with this crutch, its old age
And its wisdom it whispers, "No, this will be the last"

And the wind cries Mary

  1. C.... B....

    Hendrix eterno

  2. L.... A....

    I don’t agree with his relatives in keeping his work off the internet, it’s very sad.

  3. b.... ....

    Janie Hendrix is a piece of shit

  4. t.... ....

    holy shit if that was you that was fantastic you almost had me convinced i was listening to the late great jimi hendrix

  5. m.... C....

    Jimi must've been stone drunk when he played this..... Nice try whoever.

  6. N.... e....

    Damn, he was pretty fucked up when he recorded this. Mistakes everywhere

  7. J.... D....

    Shit I actually thought it was Hendrix, great job man

  8. D.... W....

    This is so chilling, Bad mood? Listen 2 Hendrix play chilled solo 😁😁😁, head sorted!

  9. B.... S....

    77 years without him true guitar master. ♥ :-(

    The Wind Cries Mary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UeUzgiuImM

  12. W.... S....

    Bo Willoughby!!!!
    Sir! This is very good and nice and groovy!

  13. f.... n....

    The original, the best version. No one else played it like that. Great Jimmi. I once bought a small disc and from here I know this recording. It was not very popular, but I liked it then. Hendrix the best.

  14. C.... S....

    Sounds good. Good job.

  15. P.... Z....

    This is Bullshit.....money talks, nobody walks!

  16. c.... ....

    The deceptive title of your video is disingenuous/deceptive hence my thumbs down. Tone was good however.

  17. m.... l....

    100% disabled Army veteran, from this era......James Marshall Hendrix....101st Airborne...US Army....

  18. m.... m....

    And we started mimicking Hendrix to strum the guitar. A great inspiration. The guitar vibrated: The wind cries Mary....

  19. j.... o....

    the people who disliked this were so high that they accidentally pressed the wrong button

    j.... o....

    Or else they realized that it was a cover and not the original Hendrix track.

  20. z.... ....

    gotta say, this vid showed up right after the best Jimi rendition i needed to hear.. but yeah.. you gotta add it up, and Mr. Bo took that into the consideration and was still able to play us a cover tune that was fuzzy, clean and warm.. ur livn sell 4 shure

  21. O.... J....

    I thought this was the original till I read the description. Well done indeed.

  22. a.... h....

    still got ur tourquise ring to big but no matter still have the jacket with tassles from Woodstock miss u Jimi ANNIELEE

  23. I.... M....

    Is this Jimi? Seem's empty without the lyrics, just doesn't sound like him.

    I.... M....

    it says my version.

  24. F.... ....

    I'm from Italy and im 24. I spent all my high school years listening to Jimi's music. Felt so intimately connected to this music that right now to me it seems to so painful to listen to it. Cause of the hidden and lost beauty of the past times and memories it brings back. The love, friendships, days are gone but Jimi never will. That days are just 6-7 years ago... and Im afraid the pain will keep growing but also my love for Jimi even just listening to his solos in my mind. But: i grew up with the original records on youtube. Justice must be made. Bring Jimi back on YT

  25. R.... d....

    The wind cries .🎈👄🐞

  26. P.... D....

    I do not think this is a “cover”. It is Jimi’s isolated guitar track. All the same inflections as the original tune are here. Stripped down to it’s roots, a beautiful arrangement❕

    P.... D....

    Also the uploader literally thanked people for complimenting his cover lmao. Which im sorry uploader, that solo was pretty badly played

    P.... D....

    Or too stoned to sing

    P.... D....

    It's in standard tuning, Jimi always played half a step down in E flat. It's a cover, just a very good one :)

    P.... D....

    @Neil Robinson the solo was actually terrible tbh

    P.... D....

    MD888 Dunno man. Sounded good to me.

  27. R.... G....

    thanks but no thanks

  28. M.... D....

    Not supporting greed here. When feeding squirrels they expect more and more in turn appreciation amounting to crap. Appetite incrases.

  29. J.... B....

    Much respect. Much love

  30. s.... c....

    yeah oh man thank you so much.

  31. L.... ....

    Why would YouTube refresh if it can’t replay. Oh yeah that’s right, they’re fucking retarted.

  32. s.... B....

    As this is NOT Jimi Hendrix, it SHOULD NOT be labelled as 'such!' It' a COVER ! NOT "Jimi Hendrix"...The Wind Cries Mary!

    s.... B....

    sid Barker as this is his piece of music and not mine, I stated it as so, depicting this is a cover in the description. Have a good day

  33. s.... B....

    What about John [Lennon] and all his Music and Money, [even Julian's inheritance] being owned by That Yoko? John's 'blood' FAMILY don't even know WHERE he is!

  34. J.... 1....

    Why can’t we have the original song. I started buying CDs because of this

    J.... 1....

    H O L Y C O W ! ! !

    J.... 1....

    Because they want you to buy more cd's..

  35. s.... m....

    'Will the wind ever remember
    The names it has blown in the past
    And with this crutch, the old age and its wisdom
    It whispers, 'No,this will be the last'

  36. G.... J....

    Coming from the grunge gen . . . . . I must say . . . . . . Yellow ledbetter!

  37. D.... H....

    When I'm discumbobbulated, I strum...I'm gone 🎸

  38. M.... O....

    We all know his work is legendary.. if your a picker its part of the discovery of the instrument.. and no disrespect to those that do covers.. but you need to hear him do it.. to do a cover that you learn from .. A job well done to Bo Willoughby... Ive been listening to Hendrix for 50 years or more.. I can spot a cover a mile away.. Im jealous.. all those years and I still cant make it sound like him . LOL .

    M.... O....

    Nobody will ever sound like hendrix, he was so unique it's pointless trying to recreate his "sound"

  39. E.... A....

    Stevie Ray Vaughan is so much better.

    E.... A....

    Estêvão Araújo well stevie had more time to pull his craft. Hendrix died awfully young

  40. I.... k....

    fuck this channel I hate you bitch!

  41. J.... T....

    I am pretty sure Remember was on YouTube again earlier in the year,since recently been erased?

  42. S.... ....

    Hey...respect the classics man, it's Hendrix

    S.... ....

    How bout respect Hendrix and quit being a cheapskate. Go buy his songs. this is a guitar cover buddy and it specifically says that in the description. Sick of people who are quick to assume I’m trying to fool people into thinking this is Jimi Hendrix. If y’all think I’m a liar and say “nah this was a recording back in London, backstage before blah blah blah, thanks, it’s a huge compliment because I used a friends dad’s $200 fender starcaster on a $90 amp. It’s not about finding the equipment they used and spending your savings on gadgets to sound like Hendrix. it’s called having love and passion for something you do, all while trying to spread that message through music I listen to. Look up Bert Jansch. He got ripped off by jimmy page often and he didn’t care because it gave him more publicity when people wanted to listen to his originals. And he knew that Jimmy Page used his sounds because it’s something you can’t simply make up on your own. It’s unique and if jimmy wasn’t one of the best songwriters of the late 60s early 70s, idk what else he could’ve done for something as unique as “black mountain side”. There’s my take on “being respected”

  43. z.... 7....

    Click bait

  44. C.... P....

    TV dinners. Put some spice into it.

  45. j.... j....

    Saying "Jimi Hendrix -The Wind Cries Mary" and then writing a deck saying "My version of Wind Cries Mary" is deceitful. Fuck you Bo.

  46. B.... M....

    As sure as sure as you were born, Jimi would want his music to be free ..... Facts ......

  47. R.... R....

    I just smoked this mj and this song started playing in my head.
    Love you Jimi! You were one of the greatest! 😭

  48. S.... W....

    Go Tell Someone you LOVE Them!!

  49. l.... ....

    Fuck all the copyright arguments . . . this is click-bait . . . I don't want to hear you . . . or your version . . . if the title of this video was : My version of Wind Cries Mary, you wouldn't get hardly any views. You are DIS-HONEST and ignorant to what really made Jimi great. It certainly wasn't his guitar playing, since any clod can play the chords . . . like you.

  50. J.... L....

    Don’t forget America, he was just a black guy playing negro music. It was the English who saw past his colour to his talent

  51. t.... ....

    Title should read cover

  52. K.... ....

    No fucking singing

  53. S.... O....

    I listened to this songs with such depth that each individual note had its own personality to contribute to the rest song Hendrix really is a rock god imo

  54. V.... C....

    fantastic 😭such a powerfull sound its beyond words

  55. O.... L....

    mate. what? are you the real Jimi? im so confused! but in an awesome way! this is beautiful !!!!!!

    O.... L....

    Official Link UK not by any means but thank you! Appreciate that

  56. L.... E....

    Rest in paradise 💐

  57. H.... ....

    After all jacks are in their boxes
    And the clowns have all gone to bed
    You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
    Footprints dressed in red
    And the wind whispers Mary
    A broom is drearily sweeping
    Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
    Somewhere a queen is weeping
    Somewhere a king has no wife
    And the wind, it cries Mary
    The traffic lights they turn a blue tomorrow
    And shine their emptiness down on my bed
    The tiny island sags downstream
    'Cause the life that they lived is dead
    And the wind screams Mary
    Will the wind ever remember?
    The names it has blown in the past
    And with its crutch, its old age and its wisdom
    It whispers "no, this will be the last"
    And the wind cries Mary

  58. D.... L....

    No words! Far out man!

  59. A.... M....

    Been coming back to this video for probably years thinking it was Jimi playing until just fucking now.... when I read the description

  60. M.... ....

    Where's the lyrics? This sucks

  61. M.... ?....

    Atleast I tried

  62. A.... F....

    The King ...... No one will ever be like Jimi!
    Today we play with everything: we have computers, bases made, electronics, internet .... Jimi didn't even have a pedal for the guitar, but He play like God!

  63. F.... B....

    Parece que esse gênio nasceu na barriga da guita. Um ás raro . Todo ele é melodia, som e arte, incrível esse super Jimi Hendrix.

  64. k.... ....

    Click bait, again. On the ad it said Jimi Hendrix. Not fucking you.

  65. a.... j....

  70. K.... T....

    really nice cover

  71. D.... H....

    This song was a knock off a 1943 Stooge's short film entitled, The Wind Cries Larry.

  72. w.... ....

    Once upon a time a human created this

  73. C.... C....

    Sometimes I have to go back and remind myself how much I miss him and his unique sound . Love me some Jimi

  74. A.... D....

    Cosa pensi di aver suonato ? Un brano di Jimi Hendrix ??? Impara prima ad accordare la tua chitarra, cretino.......

  75. M.... O....

    I pick as well.. Jimmy would be happy you did this..

  76. C.... H....

    I AGREE HENDRIX MADE THE MUSIC NOT THESE GREEDY FUCKING VULTURES THAT ARE HOLDING HIS GIFTS LIKE THEY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT! THEY WISH , SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR DISRESPECTING JIMI LIKE THAT, HE WOULD WANT EVERYONE TO JUST ENJOY HIS MUSIC, MONEY CHEAPENS EVERYTHING.

  77. s.... l....

    You got that right!!! Jimmi would WANT his fans to HEAR his music!!!!

  78. m.... ....

    Fake guitarist!

  79. T.... ....

    I love this song. It’s magic listening to him play to the universal collective.
    God in flesh.

  80. s.... b....

    time machine inc..

  81. m.... a....

    jimmy was one of the greatest gone too soon we need to hear all his jams on youtube greedy ass people wasnt it enough hes gone at 27 give him and his fans his music back vultures

  82. R.... S....

    Thanks for nothing assholes

    Tell America to get a fucking life

  83. J.... S....

    F U no vocals by Jimi Hendrix .

  84. A.... O....

    Coolest cat to ever pick up a fender!!

  85. S.... R....

    People aren't able to share in general - they found merci inside

  86. B.... H....

    This is not a cover. It is Hendrix playing isolated from the other studio tracks... pure joy!

    B.... H....

    I HAD THIS RECORD WITH THE WIND CRIES MARY LEAD GUITAR W/HENDRIX WHEN IT CAME OUT I THE 60'S I REMEMBER HOW IT SOUNDS EVEN NOW IT WAS LIKE YESTERDAY JIMI'S MUSIC IS UNFORGETABLE TO SAY THE LEAST

  87. C.... G....

    He could craft beautiful words, and put them to a haunting melody. And his mastery of the fretboard was truly amazing.

  88. S.... W....

    He was a Marine

    S.... W....

    Wrong.
    He was a Screaming Eagle.

  89. J.... R....

    I stole all i could from this fella.

  90. v.... s....

    This is Hendrix like I am. Vaughan maybe...

  91. A.... W....

    I don't get the idea that his 'work' should be free? Huh? If you want to contribute go into a music store and purchase a cd, you will discover all sorts of tunes you weren't even aware of. That's discovering music. Not complaining about greed because you ca't get somebodies talent for free. Gimme a break! Any of you people work for free?

    A.... W....

    Andrew W thank you, someone understands, what do these people expect? Hahahahaha

  92. J.... T....

    Even in death he's rocking and rolling better than anyone alive will ever be able to
    Rest on pace

  93. C.... B....

    Unlike the commenter below me, I was Calm before I played this, now I'm mad. I wonder if there will ever come a time when Jimi's Studio shit will be available on YouTube. Fortunately, I'm an audiophile. Time to dig in the stacks and find the fucking vinyl

  94. E.... S....

    Thank you, God bless you

  95. S.... M....

    This generation knew freedom was more than just a word...
