Tom and Bruce - Jersey Girl - Full Version - 1981

[@johncater4854]

This is why I love KZbin. One finds such beauty as this.

[@dellknox2665]

Two of the best 1949'ers on a brilliant song.

[@helendaley9170]

One of those iconic pairings that gives you goose bumps

[@rudifischer648]

Ohh, we were young and we were naive. For me it was the best of times. Every chance I got took me to the Jersey Shore. My Jersey Girl was worth the long drive and the late night or early morning drives back to PA where a High School was waiting to make a man out me. Then one day my world fell apart. For reasons unknown to me, I called off our rendezvous, and I never looked back. Now, in the sunset years of my life, I have second thoughts, and thirds and fourths. But it is to late. I lost the best friend I ever had. Something about that Jersey Girl stuck with me for 58 years. They say Jersey Tomatoes are the best, but I say that Jersey Girls are better than best.

[@maureensimms1979]

You made me cry., you old heartbreaker……..

[@rudifischer648]

​@@maureensimms1979, thank you. You made my day. I'm sorry I made you cry. I know they are only words, but they came from the heart, and still do. After all these years I still can't figure out why I did it. The only answer I have is the fact that she was my first love, my first kiss and in the end, I was not ready, and it scared me.

[@nevillepluck7605]

That is sooo deep. This sing makes me cry. But your words. Man 😭😭

I got no time for the corner boys Down in the street making all that noise Or the girls down on the avenue 'Cause tonight I wanna be with you Tonight I'm gonna take that ride Across the river to the Jersey side Take my baby to the carnival And I'll take her on all the rides 'Cause down the shore everything's all right You and your baby on a Saturday night Well, you know all my dreams come true When I'm walking down the street with you Sing sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la You know she thrills me with all her charms When I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms My little girl gives me everything I know that some day that she'll wear my ring So don't bother me, man, I ain't got no time I'm on my way to see that girl of mine 'Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world When you're in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la I see you on the street and you look so tired I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired When I come by to take you out to eat You're lyin' all dressed up on the bed, baby, fast asleep Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on We're gonna take that little girl of yours And drop her off at your mom's I know a place where the dancin's free Now baby won't you come with me 'Cause down the shore everything's all right You and your baby on a Saturday night Nothing matters in this whole wide world When you're in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la 🎶🎵🇺🇸

Beautiful song wrote by Tom Waits and sung by Bruce in his concerts to hear the two greatest songwriters singin together is a beautiful thing!!

[@mrjasondylan]

I love Tom and I love Bruce but they themselves will be the first to tell you a certain Mr Dylan is the greatest ever songwriter hands down but these 2 are certainly up there after Bob.

[@tmorrow73]

Bruce wrote this one

[@tmorrow73]

Never seen an actual quote to validate your claim and I would also venture to say that I can't see either one of them declaring Dylan or any one particular person to be "the greatest " join Mitchell is a whale of a song writer. I would also have to include towns van zandt and guy Clark and another writer that I have been stuck on for the past 15 years. Marc Anthony Thompson aka chocolate genius

[@mrjasondylan]

@@tmorrow73 Bruce definitely never wrote Jersey girl Bruce wishes he wrote Jersey girl. Tom Waites I can assure you wrote it.

[@mrjasondylan]

@@tmorrow73 Springsteen is well documented declaring his admiration for the genius of Dylan one of his comments was I wanted to sing like Elvis and write like Dylan There's a reason Bruce has covered 35 of his songs live and a few on record too Chimes of Freedom. Even McCartney said there's only one man he's in awe of Mr Zimmerman the only musician in history not to just be nominated for but also win the Nobel prize for literature as well as a Pulitzer. I'm a huge Guy Clark , Van Zandt, Prine , Kristofferson fan but there all still students of the master.

In the mid-80s Waits said of Springsteen (paraphrasing), "Yeah, I've done all I can for him. I wish him luck." He also said he wished he had written "Wild Billy's Circus Song."

[@ezrabiggins90]

Ha. Reminds me of how he said his induction into the R&R Hall of Fame was 'encouraging.'

[@jrpipik]

"Will this get me out of speeding tickets?"

[@freddyfedora8544]

+jrpipik I can believe Waits would say such. His admiration for "Wild Billy's Circus Story," is shared by me as well. Springsteen performed a great rendition of that song live, and unaccompanied on a local FM station back in the day.

[@stevekathman3583]
