  • Dave was a giant !!!!!!! wow

  • they play this song too fast

    check out ricky nelson from rio bravo

  • Nick reynolds plays TENOR GUITAR.

  • Like many of the Kingston Trio's version of old songs, the lyrics are significantly different than the older, standard version. And not particularly an improvement (cf. Worried Man Blues)

  • @peacebrotha...That is called a tenor guitar

  • what is Nick Reynolds playing?

  • this is the dirtiest song i've ever heard

    they're basically singing about shagging some whore and getting wasted

    this is the "good old days" that republicans idolize

  • The Kingston Trio singing bluegrass style. LOL

  • rock 'n' roll...if you ask me. They were great.

  • Folks, this was 1959. Do you realize how risque the lyrics are? I'm surprised they were allowed to play this on TV. I couldn't stop laughing!! Wonderful tune, thanks for posting!

  • There must be many versions of this song, I 've never heard the same lyrics twice.

  • One of the best versions!

  • Flip side of Tijuana Jail. And yes, this is a slightly different version of the standard classic. Kind of the older version on speed!!!

  • This song has drive....yeehaa ;)

    Great song by Kingston Trio

  • Oh I love this one!!

  • Great!

  • I've seen the Trio live and their live stuff is just as good if not better than their studio stuff. How many current artists even do their stuff in concert without lipsyncing?

  • we had to sing this song for choiir!!!! :]

    but it didnt start out the samme....and it was kinda different...

  • Kingston Trio rules.

  • Wow, this is folk music with energy, no wonder the stick in the mud purists felt threatened by the Trio. This is about as rockin' as you can get without drums. They had a standup bass player but he rarely was shown on camera.

  • Classic!

  • I love old music. You can hear the lyrics over the instraments instead of the other way around.

  • Because there's not much to hear with the insturments exept for the banjo. The guitars in old folk stuff like this, even some older rock like the Beatles, is just strumming chords and the singing is the main part.

  • "That;s a good'un" as said Old Stumpy in Rio Bravo..

  • My name is Cindy, had this record since I was 6 years old, a gift from my cousin Al.

  • My mates and I loved these guys since 1959. Jonwints ,Australia

  • Absolutely great! This packs more energy into a minute and a half then most songs could do in 20 minutes. RIP Dave and Nick.

  • I met Dave Guard in 1988 or 1989 in Manchester NH when he was hanging out with the Shaw Brothers a folk duo.

  • @bobandrayfan1 I got a great email from Ron Shaw a few months back...the Shaw Bros. are great...

  • Gah! Dave Guard was so hot! I have very few regrets in life. One is being born too late to ever meet this great man. Love.

  • Meet & marry, I should say. I was 11 when he died.

  • Rest in Peace, Nicky. These guys were truly great!

  • Sad day, RIP Mr. Reynolds

  • RIP Nick Reynolds

  • MINDBLOWING !!!!!!!! AWESOME !!!!!!

  • Delora and Roger would sing this to the old folks at the nursing home those people sure loved it great memories.

  • I love this song. Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson's version is good too.

  • This is GREAT!!! Thanks for posting!!! LOVE it!!! These guys were GREAT!!! They did for folk what The Beatles did for rock and what Hendrix did for guitar! Long live the trio!!!

  • this is actually more bluegrass than anything. but same track, wrong train

  • big influence on J Garcia; he never missed them when they were in town

  • I can't sit still during this song. I love it!!! 28 male from HB

  • Smokin' Hot!

  • Very good!

  • they r so good, love the song
