  • Nice songs.

    

  • Is he smoking a cheroot on the album cover? What a pimp.

  • @kpz1234 he's the boss

  • @kpz1234 to kpz1234 Burl ain't any pimp. He is Big DADDY!

    (you don't seem to know much about Big DADDY do you?)

    Great Video & Song

  • This music takes me back ... oh... some 45 plus years !!!

    Love it !

    Those were good times and I didn't know it ...

    Thanks for posting this video !!!

  • I thought this was the song that plays at the start of L.A. Confidential. I think that goes, you got to accentuate the perogative and.......don't mess with mr. in between lol

  • Spend his time in the TAIN"T So they call him Mr. In between.............

  • This brings back memories. I love this song, I would sing all the time

  • My uncle use to say that that song reminded him of me and i was about 11 or 12 years old.

  • Mr. In Between some Hairy Butt Cheeks.

  • @rewind721 what an ignorant comment.

  • Whenever i hear this song i always go back to those long car rides with my grandpa before he passed away. A part of this song will always belong to him, and me, and those drawn out summers that i didn't want to end.

  • Who dosen't love Burl Ives?

  • this is a good song i would pitty the poor soul who wrote it

    

  • You should work on your grammar a little bit Kiki !

  • charted in the top 100 chart in 1962

  • actually made the top 100 in 1962

  • every one remebers the christmas songs... This is a great sample of his true talent thank you for this!

  • Man I bet you this was a great time and I bet this guy had one hell of a life. I can only imagine what went on behind the scenes.

  • what a wonderful voice burl had...the great ones are all gone..no one can replace any of the greats

    frankie di nunzio

    hershey, pa.

  • growing up and deciding seems to make you leave some things out, and take some things in,...at all ages...this song says something about what most of us have been through or will go through again tomorrow...Burl sings of our life so smoothly

  • a twin carbureter and real sharp tomater...., a car and a girl in the early sixties...just what us early teen guys were hearing bout and looking forward to ....and it all came true one anxious day at a time......

  • Safe,secure, riding front seat (w/out seatbelts) beside my Dad in a 56 Merc Wagon, smoothing down a winding hilly Michigan two-lane...remember smilng at this song then, smiled again just now..Thanks Burl and AlanPaladin 

  • What is the name of that song that goes Oh my moma always told me never never to play with a loaded gun. If I'd a just listened to her she woulda never had a prisoner for a son? 99 years?

  • i agree

  • he was a great singer...he also sang to the h.u.a.c. too though.named names, didn't he?

  • Ah, gawd this makes me think of my dad. He used to play this record all the time...thanks for posting.

  • There should be a picture of Burl Ives in the dictionary beside 'distinguished'.

  • Score! I heard this during the 1960's.

    (Don't figure out my age, LOLOLOLOL).

  • This is a fantastic song. Is it available on

    CD? I have been unable to find it.

  • Yes, it's on Burl's Greatest Hits CD released in 1996 on MCA. It's also on the Readers Digest set "The Legendary Burl Ives" released in 1997, and the Time Life Heartland set "America's Favorite Balladeer" released in 1998.

  • I remember he did this song on Hee Haw with Roy Clark & I still love this song even to this day.

  • The background singers do the refrain by themselves for a lot of the time. It makes this song distinctive. I remember this played a lot on the radio when it came out.

  • You can never go wrong with a Burl Ives song.

  • Pan zpěvák.Zlatá doba.

  • M2345

    I`m not sure , but I think the song your looking for is called "I`ll be yours Baby tonight,"... pull the shade~turn out the light, bring that bottle rt over ~here".I`ll be yours Baby tonight".

    I remember my mom used to have the 45 and on the other side was "Maria".hope thats rt. I wud luv to get that CD myself".

    anyone else have an idea of the name"?

    LUV "Burl Ives"! thanx

  • Yes, the name is "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight". It was written by Bob Dylan. The other song was "Maria (If I Could)" written by Charlie Daniels. Both songs also appeared on Burl's 1968 album "The Times They Are A-Changin'". The album was reissued on CD in 2000.

  • thanks , could you post " I will be your baby tonight" by himm

  • I'll Be your baby tonight - Burl Ives, Just posted it on Youtube for you

  • I'm still Mr. In-Between

  • My grandma used to play this all the time when I was a kid I LOVE IT !!! Thanks for sharing it !!! :-)

  • many thanks for that info i thought i was going mad i"ve been trying to trace this song for years and apartfrom me i think your the only one who"s heard of it unfortunitly i don"t have a record player but at least im not going mad cheers

  • can anyone help me me with help with a song i've been trying to trace  for years i think it's called 99 years it goes oh my mama always told me note to play with aloaded gun if i'd just listened to her she'd never have a prisoner for a son the picture is still in front of my eyes and the echo in my ear when the jury said he's guilty and the judge said 99 years hope someone can help it's driving me mad

  • Burl Ives did it. Its on his "Funny Way of Laughing" album. NOT ON CD. Must get album.

  • 290290090416 E BAY # Nice FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN ALBUM With 99 years on it $2.00 "buy it now " cheep if nice shape Good luck ..Take a look

  • Yeah, it's on the Funny way of Laughing Album. Great album.

  • Great music. Great voice.

  • Good quality music that is wholesome, you just cant beat this. No comparison to the crap of today....

  • Anyone have Burl Ives Mary ann Regrets?

  • Burl was great, this song shows that.

  • Burl had such a sweet and totally unique singing voice. It seemed as effortless as simply talking, but it always wonderful to listen to him.

  • All you have to do is listen to the lyrics to know what he's talking about it, and it has nothing to do with sexuality. It's about growing older. It starts with "I'm too old for girls, too young for women", and later echoes with "I'm too young for lovin' and too old for foolin'". There's nothing in that there suggests the song is about anything more than a mid-life crisis, basically.

  • I always thought this was about being an adolescent more than mid-life but it sounds odd having such a mature voice singing about being an adolescent

  • Thanks for posting this, and no, it's about not fitting in anywhere, and that doesn't have to have anything to do with bisexuality. Nowadays, people are looking for that everywhere, and sometimes they're imagining things.

  • ..not unlike Mongo in Blazing Saddles,

    Burl was Straight

  • ohhhhhh. i get it now.

    "before entertainment was invented!" HAHAHAHA!

    so fresh! so witty!

    You're right, i totally should have seen how awesomely funny you are.

    Hey, you know those companies that text jokes to your phone for a buck, YOU should TOTALLY work for them as a writer! Your technique of trying the same joke twice in a row might not go over so well, but the rest of gems will.

    or maybe you need a gig with hecklers, cause your witty retorts like "get a life" are hysterical.

  • tell you what. just don't be a douche and post under videos how much you think they suck, and let people enjoy their thing.

    i'm antagonistic towards the antagonistic because they should enjoy a little conflict. If you do, i'm having a good time dueling with you. If you don't, just let it go and don't take any of this personally. So many people post like you did, and though douchey (like how i've been posting here, too) i'm sure we're all relatively good people.

    peace.

  • i haven't mentioned Burl once. i think you missed the point.

  • I think you missed the point. Get a sense of humor. A crack was made about Burl and now you need to lecture. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

  • a "farrey" is a person who doesn't have the ability to look at words phonetically to decipher spelling mistakes, or who thinks pointing out a typo will distract from their backtracking.

  • yes, that's right. focus on me, and none of the concepts i present to you. Maybe use the same joke a 3rd time. Excellent. Now you're getting the hang of this interweb machine. Hold on, i have to take out my teeth. where was i? oh ya... so then i tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. And i took the farrey over to Ogdenville to get a new sole for my shoe.

    this just in, any art made before the year 2000 sucks and we're all idiots for liking it! hear ye! hear ye!

  • you live in the future??? WOW!

    But wait... i thought the future would be LESS intolerant, you know... since history has shown plenty of examples of intolerance stiffling social progress time and time again.

    It's looking as though it's those who discriminate who are being left in the past. Time catch up, and start letting people be. It's easy to do.

    The more you can acceptm in life the easier it is to avoid suffering. But somebody from the future should know that already.

  • When considering the popularity of Limp Bizkit and Nickleback this statement seems pretty ridiculous, and maybe a little close minded.

    But hey, you're entitled to your opinion and presenting it in antagonistic ways. You're entitled to enjoy as many Hanna Montana concerts as you'd like, and nobody should try to make you feel silly for that. I hear she's really big these days.

    enjoy your thing.

  • Fantastic! Ya gotta luv the songs of Burl Ives.

    (Not to shabby of an actor, either)

  • Thanks for this one. Old Burl is scarce and this is one of his goooood ones.

  • I love this song done perfectly none better Thanks for posting. G.G.
