Shakey Graves - Late July 

Imagine the headstone 60 years from now,.. Here lies Droopy Weiners, body now flaccid in his grave, but memory still erect in our hearts.

Droopy Weiners is the perfect example of why you don't want to be the first one to fall asleep at a party.

This will always be the best version of this song.

2024 anyone?

For the record I think his name is spelled Drew P Weiner.

Glad to see people are still listening to this absolute masterpiece

He told the story of how he got his name in less time than it takes most youtubers to finish their intros

Drives me crazy that this version isn't on Spotify, it's easily the best one.

This guy plays 3 instruments and sings on beat. I can’t even chew bubblegum and walk down the street at the same time

Shaky Graves looks like the dude from the Lorax

Why did people ever stop dressing like this

Leaving this comment here so that every time someone comments on it I can listen to this masterpiece again ❤️

“It’s impossible I play Lead, rhythm, sing, and harmonize”.... Shaky- “Hold my Moonshine....”

I absolutely love this song but specifically this version of it. I've listened to the album version and the audiotree live version but for some reason this one right here is my absolute favorite. So good.

I love this version of the song so much but I force myself to only listen to it once every few months because I swear if I ever get tired of it, itll be the end of me

God I love happy sounding songs about murder.

prefer this version x1000000 to the one on spotify

Part of me feels that I'm the drunk guy on acid at the campsite

Wish I just happened upon this guy rockin' out while I was out roaming around good ole Austin.

Producer: so what do you want to focus on? Vocal harmonics? Lead guitar? Or rhythm? Or perhaps rhythm and percussion? Shakey: yes

Wow, that acoustic tone mixed with some blues crunch is glorious.

Holy shit! If Shakey Graves is this good I wonder how mindblowing Droopy Wieners is

This is the best version, he changes the tempo in later performances and it loses the magic of this one IMO

I love remembering 14-year-old me who was unabashedly obsessed with this song and this man in 2014. haven't listened to this in so long, brings me so much joy ❤

This isn't the first time you've watched this.

Ben Shapiro just never ceases to amaze me with his never ending list of talents.

Anyone else returning to this during Corona self-isolation? :P

It’s 6 am. I’m cookin my lover bacon and eggs while he showers. The sound of the pourin rain surrounds the house. The sizzlin grease blends in when it’s not too busy burnin me. This music ties it all together in a “shaky” bow. I’m happy.

This guy's been to the crossroads

Oh, yeah, well, Gold Digger took my money Dipped my heart and hands in honey Ol' Snake Lady stole my savings Told Gold Digger she was having my babies Well, Gold Digger swung, snake lady fell Yeah, I took Gold Digger up to Chapel Hill Oh, I married her fast, murdered her young Took my money back and made my run Well, bus driver, all in red yeah go Pull this bus over and end up dead Yeah, go drive this bus down to Mexico Park it on a cliff where that good grass grows Until a chopper came along one sunny day To burn my crops, lock me away Girl I'm eager, young and qualified Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July Oh, yeah, well, my mama, old and grey Sittin' at-a home just a-weepin' away Her only boy washed down the drain Gonna take her son and lock him away Well, mama should be oh proud of me I lived like a man, oh, I'll die like a king 'Cause I'm eager, young and qualified Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July But my pappy, old and fat Chewin his cigar with his hair slicked back Yeah, roll him over, beat him black Say it's from that boy he never had Well, papa should be in my place To fry like bacon, hang like lace Cause I'm eager, young and qualified I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July oh Big Betty, yeah my old squeeze Oh, kiss you so good, you go weak in the knees Yeah, gon' to see her old man pop I wanna have you there when my big heart stops But don't you worry, oh don't you fret No, I won't die with no regrets 'Cause I'm eager, young and qualified 'Cause I'm eager, young and starry-eyed Oh, the big leagues call and I reply I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July

100% true story, I'm just getting into Shakey and started watching his vids. Then I saw the 3 story house at 1:45 and realized that's MY HOUSE THAT I F'NG LIVE IN

11 years later im still drunk

Oh yeah, Gold digger took my money, Dipped my heart and hands in honey. Oh, snake lady stole my savings, Told gold digger she was having my babies. Well, gold digger swung, Snake lady fell. Yeah, took gold digger up to Chapel Hill. I married her fast; Murdered her young. Took my money back and made my run. Well, Bus driver, All in red, Go pull this bus over and end up dead. Go drive this bus down to Mexico, Park it on the cliff where that good grass grows Until a chopper came along One sunny day, To burn my crops, Lock me away. Girl, I'm eager, Young, And qualified. Got a date with that chair, oh, In late July. My momma, Old and grey, Sittin' at her home, Just a-weepin' away. Her only boy, Washed down the drain. Gonna take her son and lock him away. Well, momma should be Proud of me. I lived like a man, Oh, I'll die like a king. Cause I'm eager, young, and qualified. Got a date with that chair, oh in late July. My pappy Be old and fat, Chewin' his cigars with his hair slicked back. Roll him over, Beat him black, Say it's from that boy he never had. Well, Papa should be in my place To fry like bacon, Hang like lace. Cause I'm eager, young, and qualified. Got a date with that chair, oh in late July. Big Betty, Oh, my old squeeze. Kissed you so good you go weak in the knees. Come to see your old man pop, I wanna have you there when my big heart stops. Don't you worry, Don't you fret. I won't die with no regrets. Because I'm eager, Young, And qualified. Yeah, I'm eager, Young, And starry-eyed. Oh, the big leagues call And I reply, "I got a date with that chair, oh, In late July.

How are we forgetting the fact that he's playing 3 instruments at once AND singing? Simply amazing

Shakey's picking style is so hard for me to figure out. The bass notes are always going, fills out the sound so nicely. What a legend.

2023 and still hearing loving this song....

Too talented to ever make it in the music industry.

only song I will ever tune my guitar out of standard to play.

Sometimes, RU-vid suggestions algorithms pull an absolute blinder

I was listening to rap and now I'm here the RU-vid algorithm is a true enigma

i can't stop watching this, oh my goodness. i'm just mesmerized

spotify needs more of you

this song got me pregnant.

Eight years since I heard this song, on a late night in July. I miss the times that I hated when they were happening.

This man and his music have carried me a long, long way farther than I would have ever gotten alone.

Oh yeah, Gold digger took my money, Dipped my heart and hands in honey. Oh, snake lady stole my savings, Told gold digger she was having my babies. Well, gold digger swung, Snake lady fell. Yeah, took gold digger up to Chapel Hill. I married her fast; Murdered her young. Took my money back and made my run. Well, Bus driver, All in red, Go pull this bus over and end up dead.

All other versions of this song sounds like he's trying to remember how to play it, as he's playing it

Why don’t you have this version on Spotify. Live at audiotree is 🗑️

Geezus that coordination, i can barely pat my head and rub my belly.

Fuck me i love this jam ! He should be so famous by now

I feel like this is going to show up in a Tarantino film at some point.

OMG THANK YOU to the camera person/cinematography genius who made this music so intimate and public- for once, I wasn't wanting to see another angle or shot- or feel that I was missing out by not being there in person or seeing the wide shot. You were my eye- and where I would have hovered and focused for this song.

Idk how this got in my reccomended but i love it!

As a writer, the line, "Well, papa should be in my place / to fry like bacon, hang like lace,"... is one of this phrases you hear and think, 'damn, i wish I'd written that!' '"

This is the most up beat song about an execution probably ever

Mexican Jack White

I hate myself for coming back here so often because eventually I'll be sick of listening to this. But it's so fucking good...

the 3.8k people who disliked this song have a date with that same chair in late July

I love Art and Lutherie guitars they're cheap, they sound amazing, and they're beautiful

10 YEARS and still one of my favorite jams to throw on, still as surprised as i am excited to show someone this song for the first time.🔥

I don't even like this genre of music but this guy is great.

Shakey please release this version of the song it's so much better than the other version

Funny how upbeat this song sounds considering what it is about. A man about to face the electric chair isn't the first thing I'd think of upon hearing this song. Love it.

Thank you Shakey Graves. This was 9 years ago??? Adding this to the soundtrack of my life.

So many cliches all wrapped up in one act. The clothes, the kick suitcase, shitty geetar, swampy story telling, probably a great guy though, sure has a good delivery.

Take my word....this is the BEST version of this song.

saw him with city and colour and I was blown away. hooked ever since.

Shakey is the "Bomb Diggity"...this dude and Tyler Childers got my ears right now. Kool dudes! 👴

SHAKEY GRAVES! I love it dude, I hope will all my might that you get this message. You just deserve to know that you have one of the most unique and interesting sounds I have ever heard in my entire life. You have created such an inspiring and personal style. Thankyouforyourexistence.

This lives in my head rent free

Shakey's level of talent has been overlooked so many times. What a true Texas talent. Really, really, really love this guy and everything he has put out...truly amazing!!

He looks like a dude you'd meet while you're on the crossroads

First, I never dance. Today, I danced.

Honeytone for the win

Hah. Back when he used to sit on the kick drum. *wipes away single tear*

I've never heard of this very talented gentleman, Shakey Graves or his song before but I love his song and his sound. Much respect to you.

Man, makes me miss the good times with Arthur Morgan

Pretty sure that was my friend daniel, He was offering us the highlife 32 oz also. we were in some campground near Austin..

This song never needed anything more than this. Raw talent.

Dude find tyler childers and make an album haha

You need to release this version. It's 1000x better than your other version

I just love how he lets the song breathe at times, letting you catch your breath and then straight back into it. Brilliant and hella foot tappy and catchy.

This is the best version of this song. I'm not a fan of when he plays it at half time.

whoooo weee that was a mighty fine a pickin and a singin.

I remember way back when this only had about 10,000 views. Glad he finally got some recognition

That's fucking talent there 👌🎸

11 out of 10......... I can't get enough of this song.

This song just has that something that makes you fall in love with it....the story....the beat....pure raw talent

Awesome! If you like the modern folk style music you should check out this guy, calls himself The Tallest Man on Earth. Great tune, Mr. Graves.

This is so incredibly hipster. In a good way.

Ok,I guess im gonna watch this everyday from here on out

When life really hurts this young man, his music is going to be legendary. What a brilliant star.

Droopy Weiners. hahaha

Listening 10 years after listening to it, this is gold, I hope you're still writing good tunes bud! You have a talent

This version of this song is better than the one on Apple Music. Just my opinion.

I just met him 2 days ago at Summerfest. I had never really listened to him so I had no idea how big of a name he was in the music industry.. But he was so friendly and nice I thought "well geez this guy is too friendly to be famous!" Such a nice guy, friendlier than you could imagine, and witty too, he blew an amp and played it off so well, said "alright nows the men in black moment *makes neuralyzer (thingy that makes people forget) with fingers* .. Hi I'm Shakey Graves!*. And he's also very very smart

That cigarette keeps coming and going.

Saw him in a theater in Lawrence KS several years back. Capacity was a little over 1000 I think, like 40-50 people showed up. Lucky for us!!!!! He called everyone to the floor and hopped off the stage and played right there inside of a semicircle for everyone in the venue ❤

An ode to disfunction...
