Jimmy Dean - I Won't Go Hunting With You Jake

[rickdicl]

great!

[TallyRaps]

My grandpa sings this song CONSTANTLY. Just the chorus. I wasn't even sure if it was a real song.

[fvshkatie]

OMG I just went back in time about 55 years!

[enduroman428]

Wonder how many under the age of 50 even know what the "little shed right back of the house" is!

[silverdagger72]

@enduroman428 Is that where they keep the router and the modem and all those unsightly cables? :)

[oldermusiclover]

@ I do we had one

[rkinkead11]

I like the Jimmy Dean, but check out the Stuart Hamblen original.

[MikeBlitzMag]

Outstanding cover of the Stuart Hamblen hit and for my money, it's Jimmy Dean's absolute masterpiece. He is greatly missed.

LOVE IT GLAD YOU POSTED IT TY TY TY

[ellroypalema]

My friend got this on his jukebox and we we spin both "Big Bad John" and this just as much....

[xxM0nk3yzxx]

1 person got caught in that little shed that's right back of the house.

[RDK860]

Spring time in the Mountains and can't read his catalog like he used to? Some pages missing Jimmy?

[minxy123able]

To sm9847, my brother had the same record that I so remember listening to! I believe that the flip side with Big bad John had the original lyrics at the end "One HELL of a man" as opposed to the change made. Am I right?!

[JOEP123ful]

@minxy123able YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT...THE ORIGINAL VERSION SAID: ONE HELL OF A MAN: WELL, WE ALL KNOW HOW CRANKY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CAN GET...THEY WERE FORCED TO RE-RECORD THE SONG WITH: A BIG MAN, BIG JOHN...THEN THE ANSWER SONG TO BIG BAD JOHN WAS...THE CAJUN QUEEN, SHE SAVED BIG JOHN FROM THAT DIRTY OLD MINE...GIVE IT A LISTEN

[minxy123able]

@JOEP123ful Thanks!!! Merry Christmas and hope you are listening to some meaningful tunes...Cyndy

[hobbit275]

I did this for our talent show back in the late 50's

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Jimmy Dean

[shoshone69123]

RIP Jimmy. You were a Great Singer.

[jessieoo1]

i've been a country music fan for most of my 61 years , but I did not know 'til now that this song was written by the great STUART HAMBLIN.

[sunshinemaui]

My aunt tells me I used to run around the house singing this as a young child. Thanks for sharing it!

GREAT TUNE...IT WAS THE FLIP SIDE BIG BAD JOHN COLUMBIA RECORDS....THE OLD ORANGE LABLE

[sm9847]

Had this when it first came out. Nobody ever believes me when I tell them it was the other side of Big Bad John. Even today I will sing it when I'm by myself. Catchy tune.

[IB70]

Yaaaaaa Hooo!

[patentpumps]

One of my very favorite Jimmy Dean recordings. What a fun song to sing!

[aladent]

One of my all timefavorite songs. RIP Jimmy

[shomesomethin]

Jimmy Dean died today... R.I.P.

[NcicHit]

RIP Mr. Dean. This music is better than anything you will find today that "they" call country.

Great GB pressing.

[500VulcanRider]

RIP Jimmy, thanks for the great music

[MikeBlitzMag]

Sadly, we lost Jimmy Dean on the thirteenth of June at age 81. I remain inconsolable. And for my money, I Won't Go Huntin' With You Jake is still not only his masterpiece, but one of the most perfect records in all of country music.

[cqsteve1]

I've never heard this song before, but it's a cracker!! "That little girl belongs to me, I know she's passed sixteen". Love it, thanks for the post.

[ezramead]

I love being old

[500VulcanRider]

Congrats to Jimmy going into the Country Music Hall of Fame

[Frassevolvo]

Great song !

[sbd650]

1:20-1:34!

[KeithThePunk]

I got this on a first pressing 45

[MadMadMountainLad]

this is the most addicting song ive ever heard

[SpooksHill]

agreed

[MikeBlitzMag]

For my money, this should have been the A-side of the single. It's far and away the best thing that Jimmy Dean ever did; right up there with "Makin' My Mind Up". A classic!

[jwdundon]

I am looking at a 33 1/3 LP (and getting the songs offline)....

FROM THIS LP I say the best are.....

Big bad john

PT 109

Steel Men

hunting with ya jake

"Dear Ivan" (not on this LP- but its damm good too)!

[ellroypalema]

My buddy's got this on his jukebox.

Great song!

[Catfish8765]

LOVE THIS SONG-Hadn't heard it

in many years-I hear music on u tube

that is lost in time-THANKS

[xxbrookyxx]

does anyone know when this song was made?... much appreciated thanx xxx

[hrpman]

It was the B-side of his chart hit, "Big Bad John" so we're looking at a recording date of 1961.

[jwdundon]

I have this song on a 33 /3 lp... its CS 9285 AND CL 2485 (google that, might help ya find the date).

[sirg31]

i haven't heard this in 35years....thanks for posting...jimmy dean was a great entertainer.

[jwdundon]

IS!!!!! he aint dead yet!

[genehil]

Thanks from me too... I have spent the better part of 45 years singing this - word for word - to lots of friends and family... It never fails to get strange looks. Great to hear it again.

[rons2004]

Thanks for posting this! In front of my 6th grade class, I played this side of the 45, instead of the other side, 'Big Bad John'. 40+ yrs. later, friends still remind me. Great song.

[sirdavidoffox]

@rons2004 Happy you discovered side 2 of Big Bad John by accident. Nextdo: Play side 2 of all your 45s! You may discover more good songs :-)
