[9990Skagen]

Where is that river ?? I want to bee there...

[kawikahob1]

not only country music, but OCM - original country music! Billie is always all smiles..... let's join her along!

[carolinesoswt]

"Just because we are married, don't mean we can't slip around" how sweet.

if it only worked that way!

[GrahamLondonUK]

@carolinesoswt For the past 36 years, I thought that the lyrics were "just because we are married, don't mean we can't sleep around"! I thought this line was strangely at odds with the rest of the song!

[carolinesoswt]

@GrahamLondonUK ....LOL, to be honest, that's what i thought it said at first, and after listening to it a few times, i realized the word was in fact "slip". but what's the difference..sleep-slip? LOL

[mtfune]

@carolinesoswt Back then, it would be the difference of wether your hard efforts would be published, recorded and played on the radio.

[badboybaldy1]

she just sings the song hey beautiful bless .... and why are country girls so so cute ....and i use to go to top of the pops ( thats in london )

[badboybaldy1]

[HossCurtis]

[oahalvo]

that brings back old memories

[neguys]

love this song ! love billie jo !!

[eatmypies]

was this once called fuckin in the bushes lol

[chaizg1956]

it looks as if she would just get off her bed and has set her wig askew on her head!! But the song is OK

[szewell0556]

@chaizg1956 .....Thanks for the laugh...great song though

[LawrenceDavis]

@chaizg1956 ....Yeah, that wig is a disaster! Billie always had short hair and looked adorable in it. I wish the poster had started this clip from the beginning, and not chopped off the ending. Pretty sloppy work, but all that aside, Ms. Spears is almost incomparable as a genuine country singer, and this is a treat to watch.

[acctim100]

my God this is first class

[ScotRanger1960]

Why start the song about halfway through ?

[project34]

Encapsulates everything that is great about country music

[tortolafan]

It's actually "slip around". Earlier in the song she sings "we'd go slipping out of town" and it's referring back to that. In country music "slip around" also means cheating but that's not the case in this song.

[sambda]

"Just because we are married, don't mean we can't sleep around". Surprised that sort of lyric was allowed in the 70s!

[Mostnorthern]

She was singing that the married couple dont just have to do it in the bedroom, You can go to exotic places, Outside by a stream was one of my first places

[Mostnorthern]

I meant was romantic places. Bedrooms do get boring, Try some place different

[ageingtrucker]

What a voice she`s got, wow,sure brings back memories.Thanks

[93LINIGHAN]

She looks as if she's just up out of bed :)

[Beckers77]

Love this woman's voice! :-)

[flashbell]

Now this is country music!

[fullerbrush1]

I can watch this video all day long.

She is so cute, I like the way she smiles

all thru the song.

[puckett456]

[topcommentator]

[mrmurphy598]

This really is the best, thank you BJS xx

[clicklyes]

enjoyed this thanks

[sharonkayb]

Great song. Thanks!

[666JK]

Charming, just charming. Love the steel guitar.

[AnnaMayWongSociety]

Pete Drake the patriarch of the modern pedal steel guitar. A most amazing improviser. So much so that Bob Dylan jumped over to country music just to get on record with him. Lay Lady Lay is Pete's steel. Seek out "Forever" by Pete Drake, here on YouTube and you will find out it really wasn't Peter Frampton who invented the talking guitar.

[pat13wx]

Country as it should be. Brilliant!

[pedalman]

Thats country, the Nashville sound , and Pete Drake on steel guitar.

[desipendujatt]

This is what I call a great great country song. It has it all . The vocals and the instruments just mesmerise you . It's just a dream of a song by the great lady.

[114Pilot]

It's good to hear a good ol'East Texas girl singin' her heart out. Billie Jo's Best Song and my very FAV-o-rite. A true country love song.

[ckounelis]

she's damn good country

[chozie76]

the best country song ever!!

[WeeBobbyChuckles]

Ja Kinder, it's a real big treat

[KiwiNicci]

My mum & dad's song :)

[duesbery]

I agree with all the above,one of the best country singers ever(male or female)

[PaulinaRena]

A wonderful song, sung by one of the greatest gals ever. This is country music at its best and I wish there was more like it today. Every song Billie sings is a winner. A very pretty face to match her voice. Thanks for the video.

-Paula

[piadinaconmortadella]

simply the best country song ever!!!!

[hanzeee]

Her voice alone tells the story..
