Jerry Reed - Lord, Mr. Ford Lyrics

This song somehow reminds me of a time when I saw a 1919 model T at a car show I jumped in it it was cool we road around the area where the car show was . Then I got out and just thought of a song about Henry ford . So here I am a few years later . Also I wish I had a model T

The way the very UN-Politically Correct, Jerry Reed communicated with facial expressions on top of his picking, and the way he'd change pitch in his voice to further convey his message made him one of the greatest country performers of all time. You could actually picture in your mind those facial expressions just listening to him on the radio, even if you'd never seen him on stage in person or on TV. It is reminiscent of a story told by Monument Record's Fred Foster when he told Kris Kristofferson he wanted him to cut an album of his own material. Kris was reluctant to do it saying he sounds like a frog. And Foster said "Maybe, but a frog who can communicate". Jerry Reed, most of all, sure could communicate.

Great it is

Quel talent!

Amazing talent. One of my all time favorites.

Anyone else hoping for a wardrobe malfunction on the dancing blonde?...Lord forgive me.

dancers have great legs !

Jerry Reed. The Moses of Country Music. Amos Moses that is...👍😎👍

Why does Jerry Reed sound like a bitch!

Them legs to the left

I remember hearing this when i was a kid and then seeing Jerry in Smokey and the Bandit. Fast forward too many years and Ive been a guitarist for almost all of my life and very time i see or hear Jerry's music Im reminded what a wonderfully gifted, witty, composer and musician his was, not to mention just what a lovely person he always seemed to be.
RIP Jerry

You wanna know how kick ass jerry reed is? His song was in GTA san Andres made for a younger generation that never heard of him and then they heard amos moses and were hooked

Man that needs to be etched into a Book of Wisdom somewhere.

@Karl Pfistenhammer Thank you man 📑👍

Looks like Garth Brooks and Keith Urban and those so called country singers downvoted 131 times. Wankers.

Now that's some guitar pickin.

Lol I didn't even hear the song, oh those legs 😁

I know, right?!?

What a perfect little video clip. Clever songwriting, great guitar picking, dancing gals & a funny hale bale. Ain't you ennertained?

Un altro numero 1!

"Back up now son,I'm gonna do a little picking."

ho mr Reed you 're one of the greatest !!

I'm a modern jazz man myself, but I can listen to this man all night, pure talent. Thanks Jerry boy for your music.

He's describing almost every Ford V8 or V10 out there. My dad's Ram 1500 with the Ecodiesel gets better mileage than my mom's Explorer with the Ecoboost. My uncle decided to get a Suburban since he found out the Expedition guzzles gas like Toby Keith guzzles beer.

Unless I'm wrong, wasn't that Hugh Hefner's old GF, Barbie Benton sitting and clapping on the lower left side. Was this a clip from Hee-Haw?

Any one else barely notice Jerry Reed on the stage because of props.😎😎😎

Fantastic song, and amazing picking!

The Hee Haw girls got me all worked up!

0:18 YEE YEE'd right out of my fuckin seat

I don’t like country music, but god dammed this is pure fire!!! I love Jerry Reed!!

Distracted by the blonde on the left missed the whole song sorry jerry

Long, tall, lovely Lisa Todd dancing in the background.😍💓💓. I love this song! There's always time for Jerry Reed.😁

What an extraordinary performance

Bottle this up and put it in an air tight Time Capsule and preserve it in a museum, as one of the last pieces of True Authenticity you're apt to see.

THANK YOU JERRY wish I could re write this song about cell phones as well or about those who drive and talk on them

WHO OUT THERE IN UTUBE LAND BESIDES ME , SKIPS EVERY MOTHER FUCKING AD AND COMMERCIAL THATS THROWN IN R FACES ??????/

Entertainment or prophecy? $1trillion in auto debt. Whatever, God bless The Snowman and check out The Ron Paul Liberty Report.

Looks a Hee Haw episode. Loved that show! Great talent would routinely make an appearance. Like Jerry!

Proper music, and check out the two dancing girls, now that's from back when they still made WOMEN!

I miss that show and that man. A simpler time when your sister wasn't your brother and men didn't use the ladies room. Now we have "adults" who need safe spaces because they've been so sheltered from reality they can't control their emotions when someone says no or disagrees with them. Teachers can't use red ink. Can't keep score. If a kid doesn't grow up to be a rapper/actor/singer/pro-athlete, it's societies fault. Damn shame what liberals have done to the world.

that was freakin awesome

Those women yes please

Omg. Fukin awsome, I'll be playing this one in my 88 bronco up on 1tons and 40s with that 408 stroker windsor motor singing backup.

Jerry had a very unique style of playin.

Pick that guitar Jerry

I think old Fred looking a little thin in the skin you copy

Бессмертная классика!

Back up son.... lmao

Could someone tell me why Jerry was called the snowman.

Rose Blake Smokey and the Bandit :)

Who on country radio today has one tenth of Jerry Reed's talent???

Love those big ole boobies on the right hand dancer.

I love to listen to Jerry reed play and sing but I couldn't help but stare at that sexy dancing blond in the back.

Thsts what i thought. Lmao

Those dancing girls....😈

The woman in the blue dress to his left......GAWD DAMN!!! That's called a Bucket of Chicken.....LEGS BREASTs and Thighs

Hot damn son

God I wish this was louder...thank god for amplifiers

lost an amazing singer and actor to young

Can he play?

I love the Country Go-Go Dancers , When Your Hot Your Hot !

God he’s such a legend 😍❤️
He’s the reason I’m getting bell bottoms! Look at that outfit!

Damn he could play!

Another underrated musician.

Been a professional musician for 50 years on guitar and bass and NEVER seen ANYONE play guitar like this!...genius...

You might enjoy the late Leon Redbone as well.

Pick it son

Now, ain't that the best song for the libturds in those days. I bet Mr. Reed did not drive a car EVER AGAIN after he wrote that stupid song. Right?

Do you make a habit of looking as stupid as possible on social media? Education is optional where you live?


Apparently...

That's some sweet pickin' right there....what's that? There's hotties dancing right next to Jerry? Sorry, I didn't notice.

Jerry Reed was such a bad ass guitar picker

Ol’ Jerry Reed sure had a way with words....”once spent 4-days lost on a clover-leaf.”

For you guitar pickers, Jerry played that in an open "G" tuning. Saw Jerry once in Kansas City. Incredible talent.

He must be in the key of A then because he’s capoed at 2

Lyrics :
Well, if you're one of the millions who own one of them
Gas drinking, piston clinking, air polluting, smoke belching
Four wheeled buggies from Detroit City, then pay attention
I'm about to sing your song son

Well, I'm not a man appointed judge
To bear ill-will and hold a grudge
But I think it's time I said me a few choice words
All about that demon automobile
A metal box with the polyglass wheel
The end result to the dream of Henry Ford

Well, I've got a car that's mine alone
That me and the finance company own
A ready made pile of manufactured grief
And if I ain't out of gas in the pouring rain
I'm a-changing a flat in a hurricane
I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf

Well, it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam
That makes me the bitter fool I am
But this four wheel buggy is a-dollaring me to death
For gas and oils and fluids and grease
And wires and tires and anti-freeze
And them accessories, well honey that's something else

Well, you can get a stereo tape and a color TV
Get a backseat bar and reclining seats
And just pay once a month, like you do your rent
Well, I figured it up and over a period of time
This four thousand dollar car of mine
Costs fourteen thousand dollars and ninety-nine cents

Well, now Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see
What your simple horseless carriage has become
Well, it seems your contribution to man
To say the least, got a little out of hand
Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done

Now the average American father and mother
Own one whole car and half another
And I bet that half a car is a trick to buy, don't you?
But the thing that amazes me I guess
Is the way we measure a man's success
By the kind of an automobile he can afford to buy

Well now, red light, green light, traffic cop
Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop
Get out the credit card honey, we're out of gas
Well, now all the car's placed end to end
Would reach to the moon and back again
And there'd probably be some fool pull out to pass

Well now, how I yearn for the good old days
Without that carbon monoxide haze
A-hanging over the roar of the interstate
Well, if the Lord that made the moon and stars
Would have meant for me and you to have cars
He'd have seen that we was all born with a parking space

Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see
What your simple horseless carriage has become
Well, it seems your contribution to man
To say the least, got a little out of hand
Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done

Come away with me Lucille
In my smoking, choking automobile

I love you Jerry...but Barbi Benton and Misty Rowe, well...

They got some hot chick back then back in the back dancing

I FINALLY see what my dad loved about Hee Haw. Ha

hee haw stunk but the music was good.

Mr Reed was one porsion i love
and I is very sad

HI IS DEAD =(

My uncle and I got stuck in a highway traffic jam in his Ford truck. Lol he was mad. Than I put this song on the radio.

Jerry Reed is a hero of mine for his contributions to country music, superb guitar skills, and for a particular performance as Cledus “Snowman” Snow in a little movie called Smokey and the Bandit. Rest In Peace!

Jerry......I like your style

めっちゃカッコええわ！

Price Inflation is not organic. Monetary inflation, caused by The Federal Reserve, leads to price same. Shit costs more. Get it? It is not planting the seed and a flower grows. It is done on purpose. The Fiat $. Fiat, to decree or it shall be. Our money is worth 2.50% out of a possible 100%. Isn't that a failing grade? Well it's cheap. Yeah, no shit. You get what you pay for, or borrow for. $22 trillion and counting. The Ron Paul Liberty Report 12 est. M-F YouTube. Thank you whoever.

I have this song on a 45, from the early 70’s

Love Jerry, and this is a nice live take on what was a #1 country hit in its day. Man, in today's cultural climate, Jerry Reed would branded a commie and banned from country radio. Great lyrics by Dick Feller.

Still listening to in 2019

I just love so much with every one of his songs 69% of the time he always says son! How could you not love that. What a man's man. Jerry Reed rest in peace my brother my idol.

82 people need to back up son

Great guitar player Jerry Reed.

What a bad ass Jerry Reed was the guy was a great guitar picker that's for sure was was a damn good movie star too :)

Jerry Read....well .ahead of its times

Good question Jerry... What have you done mr. Ford? It's definitely gotten out of hand. I knew mr. Reed was a damn good flatpicker. Turns out he's a philosopher to.

Pick it son, Mr Hubbard sure could entertain. Amos Moses my favorite. Good actor, good song writer, fantastic guitarist, good singer,but to combine that and story songs,blessing. thanks for the post.

That raven haired hee haw honey has me distracted

That is Lisa Todd, the tall dark haired girl. The little blonde on the other side is Misty Rowe. In front sitting to Jerry's right is Barbi Benton, one-time girlfriend of Hugh Hefner. The blonde sitting all the way to the right is Gunilla Hutton.

What a beautiful quartet! Long, tall, lovely Lisa; Misty, so cute and funny; Barbi, the gorgeous girl next-door, and Gunilla, the blonde Nordic goddess by way of the country... rural, that is!(lol).😍

If only Ford made a car we can afford.

I'd just like to be able to play that intro!

this song made me buy a nissan leaf.. those legs on the left made me get a divorce.

Get-R-/Done..!! Yep 👍

I wonder, since I was a young child some long time ago, if everything Jerry Reed ever did was as much fun as it looked like it was.
God rest you Jerry.
See you on the Other Side, Son.

Buy a $20,000 dollar car today and it cost $40,000...outright thieves.

Where can I find one  that cheap?

here too[ford hitler]

nazi fords used extra gas form 1954 till 2010,when the gulf/sea turned red.

The best Jerry Reed song not written by him. By Dick Feller.
