06 Apr 97 - 08:53 PM (#3925) Subject: Lyr Add: I WON'T GO HUNTIN' WITH YOU JAKE (BUT...) From: Gene Graham I WON'T GO HUNTIN' WITH YOU JAKE (BUT I'LL GO CHASIN' WOMEN) Recorded by Jimmy Dean - Written by Stuart Hamblen Oh, it's springtime in the mountains and I'm full of mountain dew. Can't even read my catalog like I used to do. I'm a-settin' in that little shed that's right back of the house. Here comes old Jake with all the hounds, but he's gonna hear me shout: CHORUS: Oh, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake, but I'll go chasin' women, So put them hounds back in the pens and quit your silly grinnin'. Well, the moon is bright, and I'm half tight. My life is just beginnin'. I won't go huntin' with you, Jake, but I'll go chasin' women. Let's go down to the meetin' house and wait till they start home. Them gals that live on Possum Creek we'll always leave alone. We'll run them down the corn rows, them sassy little misses. We'll scare them pretty gals to death. We'll stop and throw 'em kisses. CHORUS Now, go wash your face and comb your hair, 'cause it's durn near time to start, But let me tell you 'fore you go, there's one that's got my heart. Don't chase that gal with the yaller hair and wears a dress of green, For that little gal belongs to me. I know she's past sixteen. CHORUS Now I was headed for the general store, when a silly thing I seen. They make 'em in the city - called a magazine. I turned to page thirty-two, and look at what I found: Them gals wear clothes that we ain't seen beneath them gingham gowns. CHORUS |

I would even purchase the record if I could find it. Heard it was a part of the Jimmy Dean's Greatest Hits but not certain which "Greatest Hits" album. Thanks |

Haven't thought about it in probably thirty five years! Recognised it in an instant! (and remembered most of the words!) |

It's a Saturday morning show, and has run off and on since I was a kid. They have a lot of fun with deer camp every November here in VT. I think this one was played at ABCD deer camp on the show this year. |

26 Nov 07 - 06:24 AM (#2202295) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I Won't Go Huntin' with You, Jake From: GUEST,banjoman One of my all time favourites which got me into a bit of PC type trouble when my then seven year old son was asked if he could sing a song to his school class. He promptly stood up & rattled off "I wont go a huntin' with you Jake" and kept going despite the teachers efforts to stop him. He then told the teacher that his Dad had taught it to him. I then received a terse note from the school asking me to be "careful which songs I taught to my children" Many years later, he still sings it occasionally as part of his great repertiore. Just a thought - is this the only song about someone sitting on an outside toilet thinking about women??? |

26 Nov 07 - 07:33 AM (#2202330) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I Won't Go Huntin' with You, Jake From: Sandy Mc Lean I still perform this great old song at local concerts. Stuart Hamblen wrote some very good songs such as This Old House and It Is No Secret (What God Can Do) He also ran for President of the USA. Fred, I will try sending you the mp3 of Stuart singing the original version. If it does not get through let me on this forum. Sandy |

26 Nov 07 - 06:45 PM (#2202764) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I Won't Go Huntin' with You, Jake From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego "Song Fest" was a publication of the International Outing Club Association. The last verifiable edition I can find is 1961. A lot of us had copies of it during the "Great Folk Scare" of the late 1950's and early '60's. It contained a large collection of songs from colleges, ski groups, campfire tradition and the like, along with a number of humorous ditties, parodies and folk tunes of various kinds. |

I bought mine my freshman year in college, '59-'60. Yellow cover with red main title and gray sub-text. Copyright 1948, 1955 by R. L. Best. Marked "Seventh Printing, October, 1959." It fell apart a decade or two ago and I three-hole punched the pages and put them in a binder. If the political correctness police find out I have it, I'll probably be dragged away for reeducation and sensitivity training, based on the number of songs in it written in supposed "darky" dialect.
