Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back

[sirdavidoffox]

Mine is a two-seater, too!

Throw in the ashes from your wood-burning stove and you got great fertilizer for the veggie garden ;-)

Proverbs 8:22

[KBAFourthtime]

My mom used to sing me that song when I was a baby, except for alternation.

[ronpaulvoter]

If everybody had a little brown shack, we taxpayers could save the ton of money that is now spent on sewage treatment plants. And... as a bonus, we would have free fertilizer for our vegetable gardens.

Oh no! The health departments wouldn't allow that. Well, eliminate the communist health departments and save even more money, AND our right to live free.

[roknrobin2]

Ben Colder... I learned his verson and sing it for a funny reaction from my audience.

[Txwingz]

I was a disk jockey for Armed Forces Radio in Korea in the mid 60s. The music we played came with multiple songs on one LP, and this was included on one. No sooner did we get it then we were informed that it was banned as was not to be played .... obscene they said. LOL wonder how they handle today's radio and TV! (we played it anyway).

[RicochetRabbit101]

Ha-ha, thanks for the memories, this song is almost as dear to me as my litlle ol' shack was. Yep..... we had a 2 holer at my place up north, whenever townies came to visit, we'd tell 'em one hole for each foot. Used to keep a roll of TP in an old tobacco can so the squirrels and mice didn't get it.

[wvlady62]

there was a 2 holer in grandma's back yerd till a big wind took it away

[skeeterspopi]

@wvlady62 So you had a friendly family?

[prairiemark]

I remember in third grade we had an outhouse at school for boys and one for girls. But the snow  drift was too deep for the teacher to get to the girls outhouse. She went to the mens before I did. There was a thin layer of frost over all the bench area. When when she sat down she melted the area she sat on! When I went in there was a large wide area of no frost which corresponded exactly with her rear end! Some mental images stick in your mind for 50 years.

[quidable]

wow a double holer they must be rich

[truecountry2009]

I thought I had every bobby bare song(guess not) I have this by billy ed wheller on an old 45

[4freespeech]

We had a nice one with white siding.

They don't stink if you use a bucket of stove ashes to "flush" with,

and it keeps the flies down.

Good old days. I'd trade NOW for THEN in a heartbeat!

[leonardgoodwin25]

@SKEETERSPOPI/ DID OUTHOUSES EVER HAVE STOVES? LIKE VID!!!

[GrigoriZhukov]

@leonardgoodwin25 yes and even GAS HEAT! GGpaw got blowed up in one back in the 20's one winter morning...went to light smoke whilst persuing the Sears catalog and found out there was a gas leak, landed out in the half froze mud and spent half a month in the hospital with bbq'd ass. Not fun days...he quit smoking that day.

[rosemarie443]

@leonardgoodwin25 NO there was no heat in these buildings, you just didn't stay very long. been there done that a lot of times

[OldFartsChannel]

Hope you will check out our little outhouse song...I never knew there was so many songs about outhouses out there...LOL. I was visiting Arkansas and my folks. My Aunt Plumy dedicated a little 'outhouse' song to me...she's like in her 80's, and it was pretty funny...hope you enjoy. I am adding you as a friend and subbing. :)

[edisonphonographfan]

[kylejc21]

[Kavalady]

I do think I like Billy Edd's version a bit better.

[pmmdrt]

A better performer os this song does not excist. Bare put this in the early sixties on record.

[BellaFaireLITK]

Please give credit to Billy Edd, i really don't like to see his work posted and uncredited. Oh, and I'm going to post a video Billy edd and I made together called ' Ode to Poop'. Its a laugh.

[MrDreamer1963]

[zaaritha]

But-this is also good!

[wcgems]

NOT even close to as good as the version recorded by the song writer, BILLY ED WHEELER!

[Jedmo65]

EEEEEH Haaaaw!

[skeeterspopi]

[leedishmon]

[Wiggie52]

This song has been a family favorite for years.....and it has also won 1st place in our 4th of July parade....yep,,...it sure has....here in vermont we know the meaning of this song....do you????

[skeeterspopi]

Most certainly. I used to date a woman who had a very friendly family. They had a 2 seater.

[Thestargazer56]

Boy this song brings back memories ( a.k.a.smells) Still the "Old Shack" wasn't as bad as those "modern" porta-potties.

[zaaritha]

Love the lyrics!

[dagenhamdaveNo1]

Great song 5*****s but that two seater is taking togetherness a little too far lol

David

[davideli7879]

[dewley2]

Thankyou for memories as I used to sing this song when I was just a little girl I have used many an outhouse myself.

[Sonic149]

[coleyman1]

I have a second generation tape of Billy Ed Wheeler's demo tape of "The Coming Of The Roads"!! I don't know if there is another one any where. It even has outtakes on it. Another great Kentucky banjo player by the name of Scotty Henson is also on the tape doing a self penned tune about a Lyndon Johnson's Basset hound that he got so much press over by holding it up by the ears.. Great tape!! I am having it transfered to disc but I will post it as soon as I get it back on the plastic.

[docsavage98]

Who can forget the joys of wasps in the summer and that wonderful north wind in the winter?

I liked seeing the picture of the classy two holer...one for the kids and one for adults..safety first!

[wagonmaster368]

Reminds me of home, when I was a kid.

[MisterCanning]

Hey, skeeterspopi

Oh my gawd! It must be decades ago since I last heard that great song. I've added it to my favourites.

MisterCanning

[zaaritha]

There are a fun-version with another countrysinger, but; what did he call himself?

[skeeterspopi]

Ben Colter, aka Sheb Wooley

[zaaritha]

Thanks!

I have searched my mind so long!

I had once a LP recorded of B C aka S W.

[UncleJim46]

His alter ego was BEN COLDER. A take-off on "been colder."

[1060893]

Ben Colder was Sheb Wooley.

[Diarmid63]

Do you happen to be able to post any more of the album Bird Named Yesterday. It was one of my dad's favorite records

[famdawg]

[gabbys407]
