Waylon Jennings - For Lovin' Me Lyrics

Epitome of cool

dude you wanna talk about a bad ass guitar riff. very nice

Buddy knew!

Waylon!

abe lincoln on bass

He is so flipping cool !! man i miss this legend

I like this song. Are there any more songs like this one. This song by Waylon Jennings has such a beautiful electric guitar touch.

Cmon man ! gordon lightfoot OWNS this song....tru north strong and free

the man with the most captivating presence to ever hit the stage. the mold broke with him

The mac daddy of outlaws...

Ol' Waylon doing a Gord song??!! You have got to be kidding me.. NICE!.

Love the way he does this classic by Gordon Lightfoot!

A cruel message in this song.

Cool Tele...great Lightfoot song and that twang is phenomenal.....

How did Waylon do it? He just showed up and had his own sound, which was about as cool as a sound could ever get.

Gangster

interesting that Gordon Lightfoot wrote this

Waylon in his prime. The talent is clear.

God bless you, Waylon!

Gonna sing it 2 my wife --- This is a great fucking song...

Trouble running😎✌🏼🎸🎶👠🥁😎

I saw him in concert! He didn't look like this video but his voice was vintage!

NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS, BUT THEN LOOK WHO IS SINGING IT. HE HAS THE SEXIEST VOICE.

Awesome! Best version of this Lightfoot Classic. Hands down

This amazing song was written by Canadian Gordon lightfoot

Tru north strong n free , thank u autmn fall 1997, yer cool

It’s also a song Gord absolutely despises and is livid when he gets asked to play it lol

Iain Ronald really huh? I personaly think its one of his best songs :/

I think his oldest daughter had a long talk with him about how painful it was for her and her mother. It was written during his first marriage. The fact that he had problems with fidelity didn't help.

Hunter Hayes? Never heard of her”- Waylon Jennings

Soooo good looking. ...

Everyone is gone almost all of my friends and acquaintances.I knew him

That's what sucks about getting old

I didn't realize how handsome he was back in the day. I only grew up with him looking long haired and scruffy. Don't matter, love him no matter what!

Yeah - he's only about 30 years old there! I loved the beard and long hair, though! Love him no matter what the look!

Awesome Waylon. Tommy Jennings on bass. The guy that made Waylon's leather guitar cover & strap also made Tommys strap.

That hair!

Waylon version got airplay on the 1960 East & West coast go-go-boot nightclubs with his Electronic pickin, which might easily follow a Monkees 'clarksville' song, whereas Gordon's version was Bible Belt South & Midwest contained.

Player Jennings

Written by Gordon Lightfoot

I think they overdubbed two tracks, because there's two guitars in the recording. The others on the album were Pete Wade, Fred Carter, James Wilkerson, Ray Edenton & Velma Smith.

I LOVE YOU. 🌷🍁🎶🎼🎼🌜⭐🌟🌛 WAYLON JENNINGS 🌛🎶🎼🥀💜💕💞💤 REST IN PEACE 💤🎼💝

He was an honest singer. No gimmicks, just a good voice. And, of course, GORGEOUS.

His lead here is ill like plague, so unique

Goodness, love that pickin' and the song too!!

man I always loved Waylon ever since my father introduced me to him on an album he had back in the early sixties. my God this was 1967 did Waylon ever change from 67 to 77 I saw him in Santa Barbara at the county Bowl with the Hell's Angels and all the drugs. he was a fuel genius on coke and pure talent

AWWWEEEE ! Bend them guitar strings !!

These old shows did not actually show the genuine guitar work of the musicians. But Waylon was a helluva guitar player. But more importantly- a beautiful spirit who truly loved so much music and so many people. He refused to be tied. And thank gawd for that. Thank somebody. Because he is a great spirit in the universe. Right now. This day still. He was bad-ass before it was hip. ......but aint he so lovely? Yeaaaa... bless. Peace. Right on.

great song .mental revenge is a great one too.thanks for posting

This is off his Leavin' Town album from 1966 I think it was his second album from RCA

Classic Waylon.

Kinda the ultimate tele tone here. Can;t get past that even though it's a versatile instrument, it excels at this style like no other guitar. Especially with this person playing it.

I watch it a1,000,000 times a day

Actually that’s impossible because there are only 86400 seconds in a day so therefore you could only had watched this 696 whole times and part of the rest which is .77419354838709677 of the 124 seconds of the video so therefore it is impossible for you to watch this 1 million times a day but if you did want to live up with your word you could watch it 1436 days and .7816091954023 of a 24 hour period and then you could say you watched the video a million times

@Banjo Man 2001 LMAO!!!

@Banjo Man 2001 wow....now YOU ARE ANAL LOL

It’s just a saying
Lol

God I love youtube

John forgerty

this one is my favorite

Waylon is no Lightfoot, but he can really play that tele on that number.

Well I do see 2 or 3 but most of them don't, either because they're American or they don't like folk music.

I guess you could also say Lightfoot was no Waylon.

It an American thing ha ha . Probably think Hank Snow was American also

El Chupacabra
I'M a huge Waylon fan, but Lightfoot was damn good too. Totally different styles.

That was back when you had to have talent to make it in "country" music.

Lawdy he had talent

There are still plenty of talented people in country.

Well today, all you need is a guitar tuner, a microphone tuner, computer software to put your voice in tune because you couldn't carry a tune in a bucket if your life depended on it, a light show, pro-techniques, someone on the inside that will introduce you to Simon Cowell, because without his say so, you won't make it across the street by yourself, and then someone to write the songs for you...... So see, it ain't so hard to make it in country music today. I mean who needs talent anyway?

Back then a lot of country lovers thought Waylon was a worthless hack, talentless and a rock n' roll infiltrator who wanted to be Buddy Holly. He got beat up on pretty bad. Ironically, Johnny Cash had a lot to do with Jennings career and his being accepted as a star. He had a rep as a drug monster and freak. But, he showed them and eventually became a legend, one of the few in country music who is also respected by non-country fans as well.

Now it’s just edit, record, and a bunch of blobs crap

great version. Elvis version is unreachable

He makes it look so easy pickin that guitar and singing. He sure was a bad ass

Todd Johnson wow I hope you are kidding

jetclntn haha you hit the nail on the head, that’s why I love him, I bet he was mental

WOULD LOVE TO HANG OUT WITH WAYLON...BUT WOULDN'T WANT TO PISS HIM OFF.......
OUTLAW BAD ASS WITH A GENTLE HEART.

He can barely play if u ask me i been sucking for twenty years so i know all about it lol this is gordon lighfoots song, always will be

mr. cool gold

Their will never be another Waylon Jennings

Absolutely there's only one Waylon ,Willie ,Merle and George

or  cash

Fred White

Tommy Moon, there's Jackson, Strait and Williams !

There is only ONE of all of us.

Good guitar playin.

I love the guitar strap in this video. I only seen this one a few times in videos before he went to the one he used the rest of his career.

So much brylcreem!

Great cover

Great video!!! I didn't know Waylon had the Telecaster way back then, cool!! I tell people I know the story of Waylon playing Bass in Buddy Holly's band for the WDP Tour 1959, and the role FATE played in his life that February night oh so long ago, the day the music died.

AR John hug fg

Kade Berrier hi

So much pomade

Grease we called it .. Score and Brylcream.. " a little dab will do ya" ha ha

he's a Dapper Dan Man :)

Many American boys heard this from Hon Tre off Nha Trang in 67.

What a handsome man he was!!!!

Yeah.....the good old days.

Boy, we sure were a thinner lot back in those days. I miss old country!

Christ this is absolute perfection.

Amazing stuff, voice, guitar, looks, everything 😄

First appearance of the iconic telecaster???

+Ryan Wile I think that was in late 1950 something.

Checked the facts, turns out he got his first leathercaster in December '65.

@Connor M. Music & more I think he is talking about Waylon with a Telecaster not the first appearance ever of the Telecaster

@79tazman There are photos from prior to this film of Waylon with Teles, mainly blonde and solid white

@OP Oobws There are photos from late '64 of Waylon with one.

He was so good looking as a young man!!

strawberryseason he wasnt good looking he was beautiful and sexy

I think he got better looking as he aged! Of course, I always liked long haired men!!

Awesome

Gordon Lightfoot.

Wonderful! Thanks for this.

what show was this on?

allmost  a pop  singer

Damn I miss his voice.

got the record!!!!!!

Bad-ass mo-fo.

brilliant

Waylon was the one who came up with what is called Chickin Pickin. Hitting the lead string more than once. FANTASTIC!!!

No way. You obviously don't know the history of picking.

@goatstaog 2 words chet atkins !
 

merle travis @frank maffa

James Burton did.

TWANGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!

That's the thang, the Tele-twang!

Love him, what a voice

love it hasn't changed

AWESOME!

8 track? did you know they have come out with a smaller deal called a cassette? ;)

Bad-ass!

It was the National Life Grand Ole Opry show. Not the Opry proper, but the syndicated series taped at the Ryman. I wonder how they were able to fix up the stage like that and make it look completely unlike the Opry.

Was this on Porter Wagoner show? Anyone know?

A great rendition of the Gordon Lightfoot classic!

Esto es su opinión. Me gusta Waylon mejor. Espero que hable inglés si va a juzgar a cantantes que cantan en

Taste cannot be disputed.

!awesome!

Wonderful, just wonderful.

Good job, I like his electric guitar, AND the way he plays it.

it s awesome for sure i like it tons

The true outlaw.

everyone i show this video to loves it .. waylon was special

brutal lyrics. "I've had a hundred just like you," whoa, slow down player!

It's funny watching him play all of those little staccato sounding fills and his right hand looks like he's just lightly strumming. It doesn't even look like he's playing all of that but he is.
