Johnny Paycheck - Sharon Rae Lyrics

Stay away from the cocaine train

He is so coked out

Well, he’s on the roll here it seems. But man, the talent of JP just shines light like thunder in a dark night.

He was on that night. Great talent.

I agree with these comments. Why is this all cut up??? I want to hear the full song! Both of these versions are so much more beautiful & poignant than the recorded ones...

Real outlaws and music men are hard to come by now in the world but at least we got theses videos to understand the legends

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

What a great voice and stylist. It's a pity talent comes with personal troubles a lot of the time.

My ears aren't working, is he tuned to G? Beautiful sound on that little guitar.

Open G tuning but pitched up to something close to A I think.

I’ve been trying to figure out how he got that sound. Gives me chill bumps.

Such a great JP song and footage I tried it a while back as best I could make out with open D tuning capo 3rd fret that leaves open chord F, then Bb/Eb, Gm and C, by working around these chords I came up with the following in the link below and I put a little Johnny Paycheck video together with it. Hope that helps?

Whats the second song?

coupelikeacaravan “I’ll leave the bottle on the bar” by Merle Haggard

what a shame he was never properly recorded playing like this. beautiful guitar playing and singing. johnny sounds great in front of a band, but to me he never sounded better than this, just the man and his guitar. such a talent.

0:14 is about as badass as it gets

line us all one up johnny

Hell ya!!!!!

Every time I watch this, I wish that there was a complete acoustic version of "Sharon Rae."

i'd let somebody straight pull out two of my fingernails to the quick to get the full acoustic version here - honestly think it's the best i've ever heard him sound

Is there more of JP in this movie? What’s the name of the movie? Can it be found?

Me too! Who ever made this documentary has the unedited song. We should find him and ask him to post it!!

Chop us out one Johnny

M Welch That fella looks like he’s been chopping out freebase or meth or some shit 😂

What doc is this from?????

Joe Wright an old Doc on Ronnie Hawkins. some late night footage on Ronnie's bus

I just saw that in the description. Thanks

do you have the rest of the film? amazing footage

Man this song got me through some dark nights of the soul

Man this song got me through some dark nights of the soul

FATWONTON what’s the son called?

@Jonas Mackenzie sharon rae

This man was pure talent. The country music performers of today don't hold a candle to the likes of Johnny Paycheck.

Where can I find that movie?
