[@davidgregor4429]

[@sxootysott7570]

Seing? Bad pun bro bad pun. Intentionally or not geez. Edit real quick. Cut. Take 2

[@TRUCK-FREAK]

@@sxootysott7570 How else is he gonna say it bro,

[@DanB666]

I just found this guy on a blues documentary. I'm a fan now

[@philmelnick6736]

Blind Boy's the greatest . Love him !

[@thisislife7636]

an ugly woman told me no yesterday this really hit home for me thank you

[@kennethalwon7844]

He was at the Iridium in NYC and closed with this song. I thought I would never stop laughing. He was awesome and played at least six different instruments including the harmonica (with no hands for a while!). Don't miss a chance to see him.

[@annedwyer797]

Adorably funny song! I knew nothing about Blind Boy Paxton until I happened to catch him in "American Epic Sessions" on PBS last month (unfortunately that full video has now expired 😢). My reaction was "who is this guy, I gotta check him out." He's AMAZING! I felt as though I'd stepped back about a century!!

[@untilisabella5466]

I saw him do this song yesterday at BluesFest. It was amazing! Never laughed so hard in my life

[@marinahaberkorn7304]

I used to volunteer at the Woodford Folk Festival and had to pick up arriving artists from the airport and shuttle them over to the festival site, about an hour away. One day I had to pick up this bloke and nobody else. He sat in the back of the van and played his grandfathers banjo for the entire trip. That was the highlight of that years festival for me.

[@zuma2679]

Blind Boy Paxton is great! this was a great show!

[@whelennut]

I wish I could have played this at my 50 year class reunion.

[@rbloch66]

HE never fails to make me smile... just can't help it when he plays.

[@madams6198]

Oh god damn, thank you! I needed this. Gorilla cookies?😭😭😭

[@MrSapper21]

My anthem.

[@sarahbradshaw4294]

[@matthewdethrow]

One of my all time favorite musicians that I have played with, when he comes to New Orleans.

[@batzic]

This had been firmly parked in my "WOW" bookmark folder... A new classic (well at least for me)

[@kodacustoms]

Made my day.

[@marshalllee7720]

This song has progressed so well over the years, though I liked the lyrics he took out. I found Paxton years back when I stumbled upon him playing with another band, look up those gems! The singer he was with had such a beautiful voice. Bill Murray Experience, later known as Jessy Carolina and The Hot Mess.

[@jmsareeves]

Do you remember which lyrics he took out? I’ve just seen him this weekend and this was my fave song!! I’m interested what the original song was like :)

[@marshalllee7720]

dig around the tube and look for older videos, that's where I found it @@jmsareeves

[@canajian]

This Cat.... Is absolutely fantastic...

[@zabooch1]

...approach a minus one.. hahaha fantastic song and artist

[@angelisreal]

"I was standin' on the corner, just as lonesome as I can be, when a very ugly man walked up and tied his horse to me." - Charlie Stivers, as sung by Susan Hertel at Charlie's funeral.

[@burybobz]

This was composed by Howlett 'Smitty' Smith, but this version is awesome 👍

[@josephringling]

Love it!

[@alexloweh1]

The best modern musician

[@haroldsteinblatt2567]

Best player in the style of Blind Blake.

[@madams6198]

How can he keep straight face doing this number?

[@iiaaggll]

Genius Genius

[@eliassierra2399]

[Verse 1] I’m one of those guys Who let’s his eyes go rolling every now and then Check out 'dem girls from toes to curls And I’d love to find myself a ten My looks survived on fours and fives When I go on out for fun But last night in desperation I approached a minus one [Chorus] And she said no An ugly woman told me no Nothing make you feel quite as low As when an ugly woman tells you no Terrible! [Verse 2] I flashed my smile, did a little while We was talking face to face I found out that she was alone and free So I made just a slight reference over to my place I saw her frown, I slowed down I was charming you know I was ever so cool But when I reached in for the kill That bear said “Rrr! I’m nobody’s fool!” [Chorus] Oh she said no An ugly woman told me no Nothing make you feel quite as low As when an ugly woman tells you no [Verse 3] I was crushed inside I swallowed my pride But I wasn’t about to quit I showed her some little scar That I got in some little war And she softened up a teensy weensy eensy little bit I probed, I searched I mentioned church And I’m clearly Jewish And in fact I almost cried But when I put in my request She said “Request denied.” Ugly woman Terrible, terrible! My parting shot was: “I’ve only got about two weeks or less to live” You owe it to your country And it’s always better to give She looked at me I was gone for [?] She said, as the poor gal turned and go “Look here boy on a scale from one to ten Your an eight and ain’t got a chance to show.” She told me no How could she do it? An ugly woman told me no You can put that girl’s face in some dough And make gorilla cookies [Chorus] She said no An ugly woman told me no Nothing make you feel quite as low As when an ugly woman tells you no

[@gregoryfrodge643]

6 women said no

[@adonisblake4990]

Gorilla Cookies 🤣🤣🤣

[@ALABAMAHEADHUNTER]

Awesome ! Nooooooooooooo .

[@hairballshaw6837]

Exxcellanti

[@MrJackandEmily]

Might learn this one for the Mrs

[@carlosthomas411]

❤😂

[@yakovhadash]

Request denied!

[@davidrhoads3023]

His complaint might have easily been remedied by a big margarita. Coulda been he was too cheap.

[@Allyheartzz]

I'm like a little offended but there is no way this won't make you grin and want to laugh aloud

[@jdongrubbs]

Anyone know the cords?

[@Hickster_1991]

when your boyfriend shows you this song

[@rjwh67220]

Awful, but so sublime.

[@yobhsiFehT]

He and Adam Sandler need to work together ASAP! lol

[@samosasosa6684]

Go back to grade school first. Adam is NOT in that league

[@RainAngel111]

sometimes people don't want to have sex, no matter how "out of her league" you are.

[@tsgtorimori]

oh no i think you missed the point it's just a little funny song :-)

[@circusmeat3950]

Yes but, not in this song.

[@JamesCFraser]

Oh no, I think you should read this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism. I'm pretty sure that this is a developmental disorder that you have, and the first step you need to take now is reading that article and understanding your own limitations.

[@eriks6211]

Some might even call this this 'textbook' definition of a pretentious comment.

[@seanmoore9878]

Which has nothing to do with this song
