[LordBicen]

@1:53 Hey Barrak, He's talkin bout your Harvard lying ass.

[jdd32384]

@LordBicen Actually, he was talking to Reagan's lying ass. Obama's lying ass was a kid then.

[LordBicen]

@jdd32384 Lets Compromise, and say the government.

[jdd32384]

@LordBicen Fair enough.

[Pugoluvr2008]

I am hungry for some good ol rainbow stew!!

[TheMagicchicken123]

merle bot this song form my great grandpa jay so he can sing this song and thats fricken cool

[pat976]

What video is that off of ?

[bobaldeagleclark]

Yeah the Gays really messed up the rainbow for me!

When I was child and I saw a rainbow, it was a thing of beauty and there was that slight chance there just might be that pot of gold at the end of it.

But now when I see a Rainbow, All I see is a couple of leprechauns humping each other! It aint right…

[ghostriderinms]

Free bubble up and rainbow stew! In other words, dream on, it ain't gonna happen!

[galaxiexl500]

1981 Montana's in Sulphur, LA

[bluegrallis]

Now I'll have the chorus stuck in my head all night.

[musiclyfe5]

im only 23 and love merle haggard and his band if we all lived by the words in this song especially our leaders we would be better off, damn shame merle has cancer

[bastardchildofmary]

they sell ''bubble up'' in mazarros italian market in st pete. either its still made, or it was brought back

[laslos3]

Bubble-Up was a lemon lime soda back in the day. it's a joke at the established norms and beliefs.

[zbowlin]

This is real country music. Not this trash that is made these days.

[TheFlite29]

I don't think he is talking about bubble-up, and I don't think it's anything in particular like calling food vittles.

[TheNooner421]

Um, It's Bubble-UP for you folk who can't figure it out.?WOW

[pggroom1]

The very best!!!

[09dinosaur]

What does he mean by we will be drinkin' free bubble-ubb?!? Is that some kind of way they say beer back in those days or what?? But dont get me wrong i do loveee thee song tho..

[saltydawgish]

@09dinosaur Hey cat that was the name of a drink like sprite,seven up in the day

[09dinosaur]

@saltydawgish Hey Saltydawg! Thank you for telling me. I also have one question did they put the sprite or seven up in some kind of liquor or was it just bubble-ubb= Sprite/seven up?

[saltydawgish]

@09dinosaur That drink was Seagram 7 and Seven-Up, Called it 7 & 7

[09dinosaur]

@saltydawgish  Oh okay!! Got yah!! THanks!!

[09dinosaur]

What does he mean by we will be drinkin' free bubble-ubb?!? Is that some kind of way they say beer back in those days or what??

[9thhohenstaufen]

What concert is this? Is there a DVD?

Thank you

[scovert550]

Is that Abe playing the fiddle?

[davidallenroth]

this song was so ahead of its time. see how relevant it is into todays time. you can find this with most of his songs Ive noticed.

[fourbyfourer]

As George Jones sings who's gonna fill there shoes, well there ain't nobody that could fill the Hag's shoes.

[marydposey]

epatullo . . . I am a woman and I love the Hag. Got to see him in concert in Fresno, CA back in the 70s I think. Not much stage presence, but he is just so real. I particuliarly love this song.

[adrianspeeder]

Stone cold country with a good message that applies to this very day.

[basagoitiam]

Cool song, love the violin solo!

[gatodistinguido]

Great!

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #4 in Billboard, 8-15-81. God bless!

[NARCOPOLO76]

country sax, fuckin love it!!!!! and nice hippy friendy lyrics!!!!!

[krusaderken]

Mama and them love merle

[epatullo]

Awesome. My wife HATES the Hag. I am no sure any female likes him....

[RENEE91269]

@epatullo

I am all woman and I love the Hag...cant think of anything about him that you wouldnt love!!!

[JakeHessFan]

I loveeeee Merle Haggard!!

[BuffMBA]

The two greatest singers in the history of the world are Merle Haggard...and...Merle Haggard!

[redhead23jane]

this is real music!!!!!!!! the last verse of this song is so true!!!!!!!

[geefamilyfarm]

great song!!! :)

[junior2004hasz]

I like the free bubbalubb (booze) part. Rainbow Stew (hobo Stew cooked in a big washtub over a fire) ain't bad either.

[scottcal80]

Um Bubble-Up was a drink like 7-Up (or Slice), a lemon-lime carbonated soft drink.

[halfshock2]

poo

[7judas77]

@halfshock2

rainbow poo...?

[Kenjock3000]

Is that Bonnie Owens standing on his stage rigtht doing harmony vocals at :49?

[danhabsfan9]

see, that's why i like old country. so many songs have great meanings to them about the way life should be.

[TheGordonfan]

Think merle said it best!

[acres90]

think obama's ever heard this song?

[greasychoppers]

@acres90 they dont play the hag in KENYA

[joaevanetzeronet]

So much of this is still relevant today. I think it should have been President Obama's campaign song.

[rex41591]

man aint nobody like the hag

[davidcunningham73]

amen brotha.....Hag's the greatest!

[hamhock76]

@davidcunningham73 I double that! Hag is the best.

[timbo3969]

@rex41591 great 1 brings back lots of great memories ty

[tornado145us]

@rex41591

The Hag would would say " aint nobody Like the Jones"

We will agree with him 2!

Don't take it the wrong way, we like the hag 2!

[rex41591]
