[aretard420]

im about to get beat up for loving too many niggersds

[Moreththerogue]

While Jerry was one of the great country singer and song writers, if you really want a treat look up some of his instrumentals. He's probably one of the best guitarists you'll ever hear. I recommend "The Claw" for some of is best work!

[InfoWarsTV2]

I don't get it.

[kfwahine]

JERRY WAS A CLASS ACT AND HE DID NOT USE THE KIND OF LANGUAGE YOU GUYS DO !! NON OF THE GREAT MUSIC HE MADE HAD ANY OF THAT, JUST PURE TALENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE JUST JEALOUS !!!!!

[Alcohollica1966]

Divorce..The fucking you get, for the fucking you got. !! Jerry was a good 'ol boy...Must of been from "The Heels", my dad loved his stuff...along with Bluegrass

[36bluesman]

is there a posabilety that Jerry was cloned, or maybe reancarnated?

[BTBpneumaticcustoms]

A fingerpicking genius and a very funny artist, great sense of humour!

Too bad he's gone but we can't stay young forever.

Thanks for the song!

[digital00agent]

[WadeSprague]

No. It was either Homer and Jethro or Roger Miller or Johnny Cash and I'm probably forgetting a few others.

[johnbacktun]

Does anyone see anything sexual in the song title? *shifty eyes*

Great song and great guy.

[snooch1975]

@johnbacktun oh shitt lol i got it

[JustAintthatWay]

gotta be one of the funniest songs ever writ

[FinalJusticeMovement]

Indeed, while the song takes a rather humorous tone,

this song is actually a serious account of what men deal with

when it comes to divorcing women. Simply put, virtually ALL males

IN REAL LIFE will face the very same things Jerry sang about.

The impoverishment of men at the hands of a divorce court

are NO JOKE in the least. This is serious business.

--The Final Justice

[spxmet]

@FinalJusticeMovement Especially when kids are involved. There was a guy I used to talk to at my old job that had his own business, but was going through bankruptcy and liquidating business assets due to the economy. His wife had divorced him, took custody of the kids, took the house and a majority of his money from the liquidation. On top of that, she filed a restraining order against him for something she exaggerated on. Not sure how much is true, but could very well happen.

[TheSpock1830]

Hes gone but I'm still with him.

[WolfeCoBen]

Jerry is in heaven kickin' ass at the Choke and Puke!!!!

[Kloudwolv]

[quirpco]

Jerry, Johnny & Jimmy...the ORIGINAL rappers! lol

[leereedeastern1]

I love this Song!!

[2391688]

kenwayne96 - Jerry Reed. outstanding artist! but hardley the 1st to add comedy lyrics to country music. Sorry kid.

[servingchrist1]

@2391688 Actually if you are referring to "funny bits" in the music, you would be right he was not the first. But he was the first true country performer that held comedy shows. No country performer up until his time had shows focused on comedy within music and that is what made him famous and popular. So to use your own words, sorry kid, you are wrong in the real meaning of what was said.

[rickyfulton]

ol snowman and fred was the best

[rockntroopen]

he was the shit!

[Terryfan]

Jerry Reed knows how to tell a story in a song. RIP Jerry Reed

[sallee311]

Amen!!

[curvy71]

[liarandfool]

RIP Snowman!!! You run that COORS with the BANDIT!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Jerry's final country #1. Also, hit #57 pop in Billboard. God bless! RIP, Jerry.

[Pezzy1231]

Snowman past away? Dammit I loved this guy. RIP Jerry Reed

[lawnmowermanTX]

Farewell Snowman! Let her keep the goldmine! I know for me, I'm too poor for a

woman anyways! Save your money... stay single. :)

[chrisowns82]

RIP SNOWMAN MISS YA BUDDY

[VertNinja]

"why didn't I just learn to cook?!" Man too true.

[mohinderbauer]

I'm one of the few who first saw this guy as the mean coach in The Waterboy. Of course, I've learned that he was a great country singer.

[asbpab1966]

I heard it on KVET in Austin, TX or WHN in NY in the seventies. The 1982 album must have been a re-release.

[hughlaurie07041]

heard it in the bounty hunter

[Soulthinker2007]

It has been more than 30 years since I heard about that song. I know it was funny but when i first heard it from a scene from The Bounty Hunter yesterday it was hilarious.

[shawnlinhere]

[DougPatton1]

Juss learn how to cook fellas - its way easier than tryin to write sing n play like one-of-a-kind wildman Jerry Reed.

[BobK1001]

Ha Ha Jerry's the man! It's obvious he learns a life's lesson the hard way! DON'T DIVORCE JUDGES SUCK?? !!

[Sharkskillyou]

[bbwapriljean]

[TheJwood45154]

[DONTGETOWNT]

[DONTGETOWNT]

[RealDare2]

Rest in peace Jerry old boy, you were a classic and you are missed by your many fans.

[quirpco]

"Good-bye turkey!  My attorney will be in touch." XD Another classic line from another classic Jerry Reed song! Gotta love him.

[kenwayne96]

Jerry Reed. The first country artist who fused comedy lyrics to Country music. He was brilliant.

[botbagel]

@kenwayne96 What about Ray Stevens? Idk, and I love them both!!

[HywayHauler]

@kenwayne96 CASH did that first...just sayin'

[paragtime]

@kenwayne96 the 1st?...are you 2 or 32 years old?

[gitfiddle87]

that's my boy!

[murderedWONDERx]

r0o0o0o0ofl . (:

[toddolavi]

Jerry Reed was a musical genius.

This song is full of poetry and brilliance.

Awesome lyrics.

[herpingsmygame]

Im a harcore trash metal fan but I love Jerry reeds songs

So sad he's not with us

[dammitsthename]

i was fortunate enough to see mr jerry reed perform at the ramada in cloverdale, in stayed for both shows

[Farrah300]

This song is about divorce, but ironically(in a great way), Jerry Reed was happily married or nearly 50 years/

[Farrah300]

Divorce Jerry Reed style!!! Just classic!!!

[asbpab1966]

@Farrah300 I believe there was a movie in the late sixties or early seventies called "Divorce, American Style" which had the same theme as this song. I think the movie came out first.

[Farrah300]

@asbpab1966 Yes, I've heard of the movie. I was just referring to Jerry Reed's comical way of singing about divorce, even though divorce isn't ordinarily a laughing matter.

[faljare]

Jerry reed, the Master.

[EMOGIRLRULZ]

lol

[metrodash]

why didn't ya just learn how to cook!!!

[cripwalkinwhitebitch]

my dad sings this song in karaoke... r.i.p.

[lanefrost7]

R.I.P SNOWMAN

[Guitarman5150]

I gave to tell you I'm a mainly rock player. But I have always loved Jerry Reed, Charlie Daniels and a few others.

I just got divorced about a year ago and it was nasty. I had to look this song up I needed a laugh today and I got it! Thanks Jerry!! RIP buddy.

[Farrah300]

@Guitarman5150 I have to agree with you. This song is oh so funny!!! Jerry Reed is just one of the masters of novelty songs.

[GjohnsonT]

XDDD Man I can't believe he's gone.. He was hilarious!!

[justmusicandme]

still makes me laugh.....out loud!

[SuzieJoeBob]

theifoncross has the same exact thought I do. Jerry Reed is a great story teller and some of them are pretty funny, like this and Amos Moses.

[44Snyder]

Clasic Jerry Reed. An American Original...there will never be another. Rest in Peace Wildman...you are missed.

[CFTROPA]

Awesome Entertainer. He will be greatly missed. R.I.P. "Snowman".

[AaronThreet]

awesome, hillareous, i love jerry reed and his voice what a great perfromer

[codsack]

kvncttn....I agree and would also like to add, "Great human being" to that list.

[kvncttn]

Great songwriter, great singer, great entertainer, great comedian, great actor and above anything else exceptional musician. No One like him before or since.

[theifoncross]

Jerry Reed and Charlie Daniels are the only two musicians that I can honestly say I've always loved listening to (even during my heavy metal phase) since the day I was born. He will be greatly missed!!!!!

Heaven bound and down...loaded up and truckin
