Pirates Of The Mississippi - Feed Jake

[1811wolf]

ARF !! ARF !! ARF !!

Thankyou for posting this great song. I remember hearing it on the radio about 20 years ago, and had taped it, but I no longer have a copy. I was able to hear it again now.

[annamdownen]

my dog of 13 yrs just passed away this morning :( this song came on the day we picked him up and is the reason we named him jake. i love you jakers. you were the best dog a girl could ask for. <3

[xxmikalxx]

On December 19th my best friend passed away at 18 years old, 4 days later on December 23rd his beloved best friend and pet, Josie, passed away. They say that the relationship between a dog and its owner is strong, but I didn't think it was this strong. yesterday this song was played at his funeral. It was so beautiful.

[wwaarrppiigg1980]

My heart goes out to all those who had to shoot their beloved pet out of mercy... RIP my Dixie dog...

[browning462]

I had to put my hunting dog down Friday still can not get over her. I can't sleep at night it really sucks. I got her when I was 6 and i'm 18 now so most of my life I rember she was by my side. I'm sorry for everyone who has to put there dog down it's a vary hard thing. It's crazy how they become a big part of the family. RIP Sam I love u

[adamcourtwright11]

[prtyltlangl]

My first dog when I was a kid I named Jake

[adamcourtwright11]

@prtyltlangl my first dog when i was a kid was named jake to, he died by jumping thru my bedroom window cause i was crying cause my dad was whooping me and he was protecting me.. Miss that dog....

[trevorsoap]

[unluckylady83]

I HAD THREE DOGS AND WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED I ADOPTED A FOURTH SO SO CALLED MAN TIED IT TO A CAR AND BEAT HER HALF TO DEATH SO I LOVE MY DOGS MORE THAN PEOPLE AND I WOULD LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR THEM THEY ARE MY FAMILY

[fight4life2010]

damn... only reason i hit like on here is bc theres not a LOVE button makes me miss my pup :( and miss real music :(

[catychaty]

My puppy i had when i had when i was a baby (ok he wasnt a pup he was 15 years old) was named Pooter (ps he was old, realy old so we called him the old poot) And when he died i couldnt sleep because i thought Pooter was just sleeping and was going to come sleep with me again but he never did. I miss you old buddy. He was my favorite Dog. (But he was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooo much more than just a little DOG.)

[LordofMusicNHY2]

I seen the video a navy seal who was killed over seals in a terror attack. His dog never left his casket just laided there twiching and whimpering. reminded me of this song, this song needs to be with that video.

[dlhpkw]

Great song. Music just ain't music anymore!

[Mongolrat]

Don't you guys get this song...

It's not about the dog, it's about his best (human) friend, Chris, that just died. Jake was Chris' dog.

[XxyoursxxtrulyxX]

@Mongolrat

Get over it, its an amazing song to EVERYONE pet owners and friends alike. If someone gets touched by this song because it reminds them of ANY loved one, then they get touched, it doesn't matter what exactly the song is about, it is about how people feel about the song.

[xxshyxbabe93xx]

My best friend Spirit died today. He was te most amazing..I can't bring myself to use the word "dog" because he was so much more then that. Good bye, boy, who'll keep my bed warm now?

[ford150sucks]

3 people hate ther dogs and want them to suffer.

[shane311]

@ford150sucks Your a fuck head

[noahsnanny1]

my child loves this song she sings her pup jake to sleep with it everynight such a great song

[jgtwiss]

my brother turned me on to this song. He died at 39 of congestive heart failure. I remember all the times with him when I hear this song. Rest in Peace brother, I love and miss you.

[Chappell5252]

My 13 year old puppy isn't doing too well right now and its heartbreaking. I love this song. God bless all of our canine friends...

[shaniasmom]

You will be in our hearts forever Cissy, you sweet sweet girl. I won't tell you to rest In peace because I like to think that when you crossed over that Rainbow Bridge that the years fell away and you could play like a pup again. 12 years of our lives were made better because you were there to share it with us, so play on old girl , and know that we miss you and think of you always.

[FallenDarkAngel08]

i remember listening to this song when i was growing up. when i hear this song it reminds me of my dog Zach, who was a loyal k-9 unit until the day he was shot in the line of duty which is when he became my bestfriend in the world. I LOVE YOU ZACH, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

[scottf78]

bear, my 15 year old friend was put down today. the first thought i had was this song, bless you my friend.

[vadennotbaden]

If I die before I wake feed Brady, Rocky and Scottie the best chihuahuas in the world...

[Curlida1]

If i die before i wake feed cheeko

[Curlida1]

I like this song because if i ever died i would want someone to feed cheeko my puppy for me.

[tsidow2008]

if i die before i wake feed snowball u are a great dog

[Tippecanoe1841]

This song has the most haunting steel guitar ever. I love it! This is real country music.

[jackkedrabbit]

How could you not cry listening to this. Those two dislikes should be treated for being sociopaths.

[compsciguy]

@jackkedrabbit

Perhaps they disliked it for making them cry. They were probably acting all tough, and then Niagra Falls.....LOL!

[jackkedrabbit]

@compsciguy damn you're probably right. they got all emotional and got mad!

[monkeynuts391]

if for no other reason to hopefully hold this in the "forever" somewhere..... My baby girl Perris has been with me since allowing me to take her home from the pound when she was only 6 months old. We are getting short on time, and she is the best dog anyone could ever ask for. 12 years of unconditional love is more than I could ask for. But, I am still selfish, and wish for 12 more.

[12PM12]

RIP Taylor Rheinschmidt you were truly the most genuine person I knew. I'm going to miss the he'll out of you and think about you everytime I hear this song. I wish I could type soething in here that was worthy of you but there really isn't any words that could get the point across on how special of a person you were. Love you man.

[brandytyler8486]

there was a best friend of mine his name was bailey, i never knew you could ever have such a good friend, the only dog i had that could talk, i still remember when he said i love you, gave me chills 3 days later he has gone I LOVE YOU BIG RED....!!!!!!

[ChrisCurtisFan]

@brandytyler8486 They speak thru their eyes. And you hear through your heart. There's no better friend than a canine friend. :-}

[blackjkb]

2 people forgot to feed jake

[debi420]

@matstout 

[joefullerton12]

RIP Beau

May 3, 1998 - October 9, 2010

My best friend, right through it all. I will miss you buddy.

[TexasEx7]

If you think this song is actually about his dog, seek help.

Great song.

[Mach1BluesMan]

@TexasEx7 Well lets see. Feed Jake, He's bee a good DOG!!!!

[TexasEx7]

@Mach1BluesMan The song is about tolerance. He is singing about a world full of judgement, which he contrasts by mentioning his dog- a creature that does not judge. "Some say hes worthless, I for one would have to disagree".

Yes, he does love his dog, but the entire point of this song is to open your heart to those who need it, not that he loves his dog.

[alamanderflash]

@TexasEx7 Exactly. His taking the dog is just doing one last thing for a lost friend.

[BigHrse]

This song will jerk a tear out of a cold, hard stone.

[screwski3]

i love tis song

[http69ing]

Just heard this song for the first time. I never really listened to country, but I was surfing through the radio and this came on. Very beautiful.

[timsugarwhite]

when i got my dog from my parents in 1999, my wife asked what i was going to name him. I gave her a look and she knew--JAKE. he was named after this song. I have left instructions to have this song played at my funeral.

[DanielleL1980]

this song makes me cry everytime...makes me think of my brother Chad and his bestfriend his dog Patches.....Chad died in 97 and we put Patches down in 98 she was never the same after he died....he was her best friend...

[matrattkd]

I just love everything about this song....makes me remember how important the little things are in life and how we have to slow down and appreciate them!!!

[peopleperson235]

@matrattkd every time i listen to this song i start crying cuz it remind me of my dog...rocky. We had to put him down cuz these stupid kids teased him and he got scarred cuz he was a puppy and he just got too aggressive and i miss all the good times i've had with him...he was my best friend. he weas the one who slept with me. No dog is better than Rocky!!

[Blackdog93458]

I needed this today. I just had to put down my 15 year old lab Jake.  A friend of mine sent me this link. Bless you Jake.

[cmusic05]

Brings back old times. Sang this to my dog Jeck.

He always came into the room where I was singing with my guitar and listened. I changed Jake to Jeck. He's gone now, but I sure miss him.

[kmfmgk]

Jake died in 2006. My Grandson and I, Dylan, buried him on the bluff above the creek he loved so much. He was 13 years old. I loved him so. He was my best friend. He saved my life once. I hope I see him again.

[mylovewillneverend]

LOVE THIS SONG FIVE STARS .

[eyes4ears]

This song is one of my all time favorites. I still don't know why.

[MorackMike]

great song...it says it all bout a man n his best friend!

[JKevorkian]

Just a great song.

[irobikolovic]

I discovered the new audio quality feature on mp4ify. Awesome site 2 save mp3s or mp4s from youtube.

[6em1]

[barrelracin4life]

i had a dog when i was little and his name was jake... he was pertecting me from somone that ment harm he bit the person and they took us to court, they took jake from me and put him to sleep

[HardyBoyFan101]

Reminds me of me and my dog Boomerang. Boo for short.

[sirtweedles]

I so agree with kyleissweet. That is my story exact. I had 2 dogs named Jake when I was a kid and I named them after this song. I am grown up now and for some reason this song still touches me.

[kyleeissweet]

... i recently lost my dog, jake... this song is the reason why we named him that.... it makes me cry every time i hear it. "Feed jake... he's been a good dog. my best friend, right through it all... if i die before i wake, feed jake...." <3 :'(

[Journeyofcards]

amidst all this war, violence, and whats goin on in the world...this kid just wants his birddog to be fed...

thats how it outta be

[acquiredmindsx]

I loved this song when it came out in 1991, and I agree with 9erefandex: it improves with age.

[9erfandex]

A song that only improves with age, the sentiment hits home to anyone who has ever loved Man's Best Friend! I love this tune! Thanks You Tube for the ever accomodating space, kudos to uncletomthall for the upload, Pirates of the Mississippi thanks to you too. "If I die before I wake, feed Jake, he's been a good dog, my best friend throughout it all"" In a word: EXCELLENT! In two words: MOST EXCELLENT! COUNTRY ROCK ON SHINDIGGERS!

[teddie488]

A really nice song, but sad thanks
