simplistic melody, yet so damn effective. sometimes you don't need a boat-load of flashy effects to write a good song

jimmy hendrix & un ukulélé

Going to buy a .44...shes toast😂

Going up country 😁

​@CalebM-Music Jimi's version is so much more bluesy, so much better spoken, so much better instrumented, so much better sung, so much better recorded, so much better sounding, even if perhaps it may possibly be an INTERPRETATION of earlier, similar-sounding songs, that I cannot compare it to those songs. Besides, the dude presenting here STOLE it from the author woman who originally wrote and performed her song, after hearing it at a jam session.

Great song.

I can't hear this song one more time by anybody

"Original is always better." Bumper stickers should be issued. Great pipes, this guy.

Wrong, the original black bet is training you to be thankful to call yourselves black just to be 'cannonfodder' for the real black The original definition may be found in dictionaries but fear gave it the definition before it was ever typed. Black is the absorption of light, leaving nothing behind

Awesome.

Wow this song has been altered Big time ...... I wasn't expecting this at all

This is my favourite version...

I hope these guys made good of themselves eventually.. do love Jimi’s version of this classic!

So Jimmies version is a cover version. I can't wait to go to the next party and show off with my new knowledge. 😀

You could never write those lyrics now - you'd be cancelled for sure.

Merci beaucoup, je n'avais jamais entendu cette version !❤

Nevermind the Hendrix wannabees. This is the one any intermediate acoustic player can learn. And its THE original.

What does this have to do with native Americans?

Brilliant. The footage is as haunting as the song. Where's it from please?

Alma come bebe pero está noche bienes por ti cruda berda😮

Anyone Remember The Closed Mondays restaurant on the Nelscott strip in Lincoln City? I showed movies there for a while and always showed this one along with full length movies. Fun stuff!!

Wow. And now, all of the sudden , the lyrics tells the real story. There's connection. Thank you

So you're telling me Jimi culturally appropriated this tune? I like Jimi's best.

Thank you. Never knew where the song was born.

Hendrix made this his own and all these years, I thought he wrote it. Should have known better. This song is just too good to come up with in the late 60's.

P floid ruined it, ❤❤❤

still fucking brilliant 30 years later

This song spawned so many great covers in the late Sixties. I was there.

I always thought this was a Jimi Hendrix song originally. I had no idea it was a cover he did. I always thought Deep Purple were covering Hendrix when they did it. At any rate, this just isn't anywhere as cool as the Hendrix version.

I am dumbfounded to hear so many songs that I thought were original, were remakes. I'm sad to say I simply never paid attention.

I knew this was going to be a good movie when I saw that Giulio Lombardozzi supplied the costumes.🙄

Jimmi did wonders for every cover he covered

WOW !

Just leave it to Jimi please.

ahhh, it's a love song!

This is the songs creator writer country singer guitarist Billy Roberts. Others made it a rock song

Little did he know that his song would be a big hit with Jimi Hendrix.

Anyone know what happened to Barry Friedman? My dad was friends with him in the early 1960's in Vancouver and told me about this recording a long time ago.

Historia difícil de creer. Yo no la creo.

eddy’s insane, profanity laced uncle

What a treat! I remember hearing Billy in Seattle in the '60s... & I wish that someone had recorded his song about the Organ Grinder. ^..^

awesome!

Not at all creeped out by the demon whispering at the end

Who changed the lyrics to what Jimi Hendrix used in his version ?

I don't know if anyone is realizing the irony of this guy getting pissed at a rib he cuts, and then he falls to pieces himself.

Always thougt Hendrix wrore Hey Joe this is great

Thank you

The video is disturbing. Is this how prisoners were treated? Horrendous. 😢💔
