Waylon Jennings - The Chokin' Kind Lyrics

I agree with Jewel, this was written and recorded by a friend of my parents when I was a little girl in the late 1960s or early '70s Named, William ( Bill ) Poe !!!

This dude knew all about crazy co-dependent relationships and lyrics are so amazing

CLASSIC~~~R.I.P. HOSS

My Favorite Waylon song, like many artist Waylon sang better before he became a big star.

Waylon Gave me the vox 12 string in the video simply because I told him I wanted one. He just said 'Here', see if you like it! I did.

Best thing that ever happened in country music..Waylon Jennings!

Waylon Jennings is a true legend.

Very slowed-down, compared to the Joe Simon version; but sounds nice.  Just read today that Waylon first sung this song. Wow! I didn't know that.  (""The Chokin' Kind" is a 1967 song, later recorded by Joe Simon in 1969, written by Harlan Howard. The original version of the tune was released by Waylon Jennings in 1967.")

Nice job by Waylon on the Harlan Howard song.

The dictionary has a word for the

Not the best of Waylon... doesn't sounds unique in his later years in tonality and in my opinion. In His forties were his best.... again...in my opinion.

Written by Harlan Howard who also coined the best definition of country music: "Three chords and the TRUTH!
"

This song was stolen from Joe Simon

I am wondering if you know that Waylon actually put his name on this classic tune stealing it or if i'm correct in telling you that's a lie & he merely recorded it & played it in his shows. Nashville even back in the 60s had strict laws against plagiarism. Just because he recorded this doesn't mean he stole it unless his name is on the record as the writer & not Joe Simon's

Joe Simon does a nice version, but it's a Nashville song, which where Simon recorded

The 60`s style with the female backup singers was great. Love It.

Stone cold, spring water smooth........classic!

Always preferred pre-outlaw Waylon! 💜

Yes, the best Waylon is Waylon without that beard!!!

... had so much more in common with the outlaw ...

I prefer any Waylon .

I'd just prefer alive Waylon to be honest...

I prefer the waylon that broke free and did his own thing, not controlled by his record label.

That's got to be Joe Zincan on bass. Saw a video of Bob Moore's and he told how he'd slap the bass.

This song can make me cry. God I miss Waylon.

Anyone see that elderly lady in the back with her arms wrapped around her and a nasty look on her face ...

My niece was named after Amanda 😀

I'm sure Waylon appreciated Harlan Howard writing this song..

Wait, who wrote this then? I thought it was a soul song

Early Waylon was my favorite. Had so many good songs in the mid sixties.

Buddy Lowe dey

Funny that you say that because all his hits in the early to mid seventies were his songs from the sixties..

Born in Littlefield, TX., west of Lubbock on the Llano Estacado, land of cotton fields, sheep and goats, cattle feedlots and  Buddy Holly. God bless Texas.

Steve Melancon I live here and you're right. God bless this sacred land the produced waylon buddy and sonny Curtis.

What about George Jones?

I love this song! He was great!

American thoracic surgeon Henry Heimlich passed away today {December 17th, 2016}...
May he R.I.P.

Nice song by Waylon, Thanks for post ~ Arthur

Waylon has zillions of great songs that even huge country music fans haven't heard. He was the best.

I love this version of the song.  Didn't know Waylon had it in him.

really like this song ..guess you have to live to understand...

This is one of Waylon's best.

Waylon was one of the best, and this song is one of my favorite's

Must have played this 100 times after my second divorce

I dedicate this song to my first wife.

Me too-my 1st & LAST wife

This is such a very beautiful song ! With such a charming-playboy voice it would be a challenge to keep the women away , ha ha !!
