Joe Cocker - High Time We Went Lyrics

High time I went to the dog park 🙀. I’m glad I can remember being a kid listening to this. I’m still a kid just 58 and still trying to be a grown up,(never)😸😽😺

This is my 2nd favorite Joe Cocker song after "The Letter.'

meny years a gow very good s,, nikos tarantella taverna xersonisos kreta

super`romania

Best one chord song ever.

When I hear this, the dancing shoes come on, my shoes get to smokin, fire dept. has to come put my shoes out!! Bad ass song!!!

Awesome track l think it's my favorite Cocker song

Mine too.

this is the jam right here.

had forgotten about this, I used to play it at the juke box when we'd go to the restaurant hang out while waiting for everyone to show up on the Friday night, yeah, there was always some fight, but we had a good time and all went home alive-----finding this, was like finding a piece of very expensive vintage gold ring that cannot be bought

about the time i woke up this morning started crankinbg music and opening beers

It's high time we came;;;It's time to COCKER

Keeprockininthefreeworld

You out this guy on and want to start partying instantly!

Cette chanson reste attachée à Nicole avec laquelle j'ai dansé dans les rues lors de la feria de Nîmes. Souvenir fantastique (1980 ?)

Un titre trop peu connu !

Damn tha 70s were tha bomb. !!! Glad I made it. ✌ 59yrs & still rockin just like I did then. Well almost ✌💜🤗

Du kleiner dicker Engländer, du warst einfach Super. Danke!!!!

Rush Limbaugh said this was his favorite Joe Cocker song.

Saw him in '74 at UT Memorial Stadium. Venue was totally unprepared for the crowd. It was crazy but awesome!

I have some kick ass skunk weed and its high time we went 😏🇱🇷

"High Time We Went"

Well, it's five o'clock in the mornin'
Feel just like the end of a mule
Somebody's been yawnin'
Tryin' to break out the rules

Yes, it's high time we went
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went there?
Ain't it high time we went?

Well, it's four o'clock in the mornin'
Somebody's shoutin' the news
Nobody's been yawnin'
Preachers all around for the blues

Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went now?
Ain't it high time we went?

(instrumental)

Three o'clock and I'm dreamin'
Somebody's shoutin' the way
Nobody can see me
Tryin' to find a brand new day

Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went now?
Ain't it high time we went?
Oh ain't it high time we went?

(brief instrumental)

Two o'clock and I'm rollin'
Everywhere I look is the same
Somebody's been callin'
Tryin' to put the blame on my name

Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went now?
Ain't it high time we went yeah?
Oh ain't it high time we went?
Get it on

(brief guitar instrumental)

It's one o'clock and I'm fallin'
Fallin' for the same old game
Somebody's been shoutin'
Let me be by the stage

Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went now?
Ain't it high time we went?

(instrumental)

Well, it's twelve o'clock and I got there
Didn't think I'd make it in time
Somebody's been shoutin'
Don't forget the lemon n' lime

Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went now?
Ain't it high time we went?

Great song

My all time favorite of this legendary singer
Thank you for posting this great song and have a great day

You are very welcome. You have a great day also.

Zucchero dovrebbe vergognarsi, ha preso il pezzo e l'ha fatto diventare "Diavolo in me".

Ooohh yea still jammin this in 2019....Great song !!

God's only son. Joe Cocker.

We played this only once or twice on tours but always a fun rocker..we added cool back ground vocals behind Joe at sound check I remember one afternoon, so it became part of the set for a few shows.

Awesome.

My folks had this on 8 track and vinyl when I was growing up. Heard it a lot while on jumps with the carnival. I dig this whole album. I'm 42 now.

Your parents are probably about my age.

@pecvillian 65 & 69

RIP JOE....BIG RIP....WE MISS YOU. A LEGEND OF WOODSTOCK

Great great great tune by cocker.cant beat it.. .

so good

In my mind his best song as this will never get old, great party song too., saw him live once, boy he gives a great show. His voice was so perfect for this song.

It is a good one.

R & B.... Soul.....Rock....Hell everything COOL JAm!!!!

That's for sure.

Poi arriva zucchero, con 'diavolo in me' un pochino copiata ahaha

this song always gets me in a good mood

Chris Stainton on piano and Jim Keltner on drums. Joe was really rocking on this. Love it.

one of the best g@damned jams eva...rip joe

Two people come to mind hearing this song that went long before they should have! but we have the works they left: Joe Cocker and John Belushi... they will forever be welded together in my memory and it is a good memory! (somewhat late but - RIP Joe.)

Baby, high time we went!

Si ballava in discoteca con questi ritmi

Zucchero sei un copione....🤔

a real gem

There won’t be a downfall for the sweet reality of the answer. The purity of the soul to know, or forgetting the plausibility of mind body only. The rule of the journey to the special plan free Earth 2 to be designed suitably. Bwaaaaaaaaaaa 0:13

@zucchero fai pena

To ME best cocker song, non Blues, more straight forward rock, and no HORN sections, Egads, ya want horns go listen to Chicago or Blood, Sweat and Tears...LOL!

Yes....BEST Cocker song!

Ya, like the twangy guitar, and the no nonsence minimal drum fill drumming keeps the piece moving right along. Not into keyboards, but this piano refrain is very fitting here.

Gloria nell’alto dei cieli, ma non c’è pace quaggiù

Thanks pecvillian...!
Daniel from Paris...

You are very welcome.

love this song !!!

Joe fuckin cocker!

Che plagio di zuccheri assurdo!

What song is plagurized here? I don't think Joe Cocker ever wrote any songs. He did many good covers of other artists music.

Zucchero copyed Joe Cocker...in Diavolo in me

Un pezzo che trascina, ogni strumento parla
In sintonia, ogni nota e' incastonata in maniera perfetta, ma la voce da il vero senso al capolavoro

BIG JOE...WE MISS YOU.(Tu resteras à jamais,le fabuleux Symbole de Woodstock 1969) rip

Rudeness - Thx Joe - see ya soon!

I always thought this song was a pure power! One of those that let's you really let it all hang out!!!.🎼😁😁🌶🌶

I think it's high time I said how much influence Joe had in my type of performing, i did a cover of this and loved doing it thinks Joe and all the audience at the Jabberwocky,. Ps. My mother was also a Joe cocker fan,. May you truly rest in glorious peace.

A little Mary jane, some headphones and its 1970 again...great groove.

MASTERPIECE !!!! The better days!!!

One thumb doesn't seem sufficient somehow.

RUSH LIMBAUGH WILL BURN IN HELL.

I love you man...take back America!

The much missed best white blues/rock singer the UK ever produced. Don't miss the doc 'Joe Cocker: Mad Dog with Soul.
Proud to be a fellow South Yorkshireman. RIP Joe.

there is no such thing as "white blues"...blues came about from WHITE RACISM...check out the inhabitant of the white house after a BLACK president!!!...stupid fuck!!!

One of the best albums of all times! By the way, it was the first vinyl album I bought, in 1972.

Simply the KING.

What a ballsy tune!

high time fer sure

what time is it?

Watch Joe Cocker Mad Dog with Soul is in Netflilx, I just watched it. Joe Is High Time He went. !!!!!!!!!!

Someone please post the lyrics. He's like one of those drunk guys you meet at a party and he makes so much sense but you can't remember a fucking thing he said.

yeah, he's actually got some kind of a thing, like muscular distrophy. i got to see him in concert in denver 1971. he was an hour late coming on stage, but after that it was a great concert.

I envy you man.

Well, it's five o'clock in the morning

Feel just like the end of a mule

Somebody's been yawning

Trying to break out the rules

Yes, it's high time we went

Ain't it high time we went?

Ain't it high time we went there?

Ain't it high time we went?


Well, it's four o'clock in the morning

Somebody's shouting the news

Nobody's been yawning

Preachers all around for the blues

Ain't it high time we went?

Ain't it high time we went?

Ain't it high time we went?

Ain't it high time we went?


Three o'clock and I'm dreaming

Somebody's shouting the way

Nobody can see me

Trying to find a brand new day

Ain't it high time we went?

Ain't it high time we went?

Ain't it high time we went?

Ain't it high time we went?


Two o'clock and I'm rolling

Everywhere I look is the same

Somebody's been calling

Ain't it high time we went?

Ain't it high time we went?

It's one o'clock and I'm falling

Falling for the same old game

Somebody's been shouting

Best version right here, more so than mono mix version on scroll list. In its precise key here and slightly slower/correct turntable speed, and you can hear the twangy guitar parts more crisply just like in '71 on AM radio. Even the opening 3 beat drum strike that opens song intro is very crisp/audible, just like we remember, good show!! My favorite Cocker song due to less emphasis on blues, and more straightforward rock approach.

Show, grande som

Truly unique.

Joe's nod to Ray Charles, his idol.

Who's Playin' Piano on this?

I believe it is Chris Stainton

love it I'm gonna learn this on drums

One of a kind performer, saw him open for The Guess Who with Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman in 2001, what a killer concert!

Pecvillian, you must not be telling the truth. You didn't really post this five years ago because there are only 113 thousand people here. So.. is that upload date a joke of yours? If so, sorry, I don't get it.

Nope not a joke. The views went up a lot right after Joe died. Now they have tapered off.

@pecvillian Hard to believe considering such a great song.

I'm amiss to understanding why there are only a hundred-some thousand viewers here.
Oh, well, of course, I forgot - everyone's already got it on their - whatevers. That explains it.

So Powerful and amazing...

Great song with a great groove. Thanks for posting :)

You are welcome.

WOOooooooO

I really love this song. Thanks to this song I never taken drugs, cause if I wanted to get high all I had to is play this wonderful hit song, along with David Bowie hit single, "Fame" & Laid Back hit single "White Horse". 😁💚💽💽💽🌿

Mad Dogs the Joe Cocker Experience -adding this to our show and hoping we can do it even a little justice...

+Dawn Lawrence Awesome.

Same here-Reckless

maravillosos años , excelente tema ...

I prefer John Belushi's impression of Joe Cocker

well, i saw joe cocker in concert back in '72 and it wasn't leon russell on piano there. leon was also on tour that year and i saw him too.

+michael tooke Piano on this one was Chris Stainton I do believe.

fuckin right!

Que de bons souvenirs ! J'étais DJ en 1972 , piste combles à chaque fois ! j'ai arrêté mon job de DJ en 2000 , et je jouais encore ce morceau parfois ! Merci , Pecvillian ....

+Christian Mallassinet Vous êtes bienvenus.

Joe moved us along in music like no one else. He is sooooo missed. Irreplacceable talent.

Back in the day. She was sweet. Love that flower power

We played this song in my 7th grade band.ROCKS thank you.

+michael brown You are very welcome.

385up-3down. Lmao
Better make it 386up

Happy I stumbled on this today haven't heard it for a long time. It's classic. 
Love Joe, best screamer ever.
Thanks so much.
