Nelson, Willie - The Party's Over Lyrics






Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that
All good things must end
Call it tonight
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again

But the crazy crazy party
Never seen so many people
Laughing dancing
Look at you you're having fun
But look at me
I'm almost cryin'
That don't keep her love from dyin'
Misery cause for me the party's over
Turn out the lights...

Once I had a love undyin'
I didn't keep it but I tried
Life for me was just one party
And then another
I broke her heart so many times
I had to have my parting wife
I had to have my party
Why broke her heart so many times
But one day she said
Sweetheart the party's over
Turn out the lights...

  1. n.... p....

    I am sure I have heard this classic on another channel. Keeping the memory alive. Try Dlive for a change. It's worth a look folks.

  2. W.... W....

    Late 60 and 70 s every night at 9:00 on cr leveret would sign off at koyn radio with the party's over ,that's when country music was the best,

  3. J.... V....

    Hey Democrats this one's for you

  4. F.... V....

    I know this song from Don Meredith

  5. J.... J....

    I remember Dandy Don Meredith singing this on Monday Night Football when the game got out of hand.

  6. Z.... I....

    Quantum Eraser brought me here...

  7. N.... T....

    You know those old stories about the cowboys and Indians and the cowboys won? Guess they weren't thinking about the Kansas City Chiefs when they played the Houston Texans in the playoffs.

  8. L.... S....

    Good country music

  9. B.... M....

    I would like to dedicate this song to Tom Brady and the 2019 Patriots! Enjoy your stay at home this Post Season!

    B.... M....

    Fuck the Patriots

  10. M.... T....

    104 people accidentally clicked on the wrong thumb.

  11. G.... ....

    They play this song every night when the casino is about to close, if you lost money it makes you hate this song

  12. t.... f....

    Peyton Manning sent me here

  13. k.... f....

    end cut @azzmador

  14. R.... M....

    Now this is the only version as far as I'm concerned! Grew up listening to this on the radio, & so,so many other legends! Probably about 98% of which are no longer with us. But as long as we can still enjoy their music, they will live on in our memories!❤

  15. w.... x....

    Should be NFL fight song.

  16. W.... W....

    One of my favorite Willie Nelson songs ,

  19. R.... e....

  20. R.... B....

    This is the Willie Nelson I love! To me the Willie after 1970 stinks!

    R.... B....

    That stupid, Willie has always been great.

  21. D.... B....

    this song went to #24 on the country charts in 1967!!!

  22. C.... F....

    When you have your first kid by accident

    C.... F....

    Lmfao yes sir

  23. G.... M....

    It's funny. When Willie started out. His hair, the way he dressed. He looked like he was a high school English teacher. All of them dressed that way. Boy, have things changed. Glad the old music is still here.

  24. 8.... B....

    Imma off myself to this song

  25. B.... B....

    Well one man’s floor is another man’s ceiling.

    From the looks of this place that must have been one #### of a party. I really can’t remember.
    What I thought were party lights turned out to be on top of a cop car.🚨🚨🚨turn out the lights,
    the party’s over.

  26. J.... C....

    Goodbye Google+

  27. M.... R....

    The first Willie Nelson song I ever liked.

  28. D.... T....

    wailing willies. Can he sing!!!!!!!

  29. s.... r....

    whos the writer.. one of my favourties by him. 60's. not the 80's blah. most 80s music was crap. in general. thats when country music DIED!

  30. P.... G....

    I heard this song on the movie incredible 2 Haha

  31. C.... B....

    Willie as American as moms apple pie. R.I.P. Dandy Don.

  32. C.... C....

    Everybody get the fuck out parties over!

  33. r.... r....

    But look at me

  34. G.... M....

    I remember seeing Willie back in the late 50's.  He looked like a high school English teacher.  He was a great back then.  He's done nothing but get better.  His appearance has changed but he's still Willie

  35. E.... A....

    “Turn out the lights, the party’s over.” Don’t you turn OFF the lights instead of turning them out? LOL

    E.... A....

    Turn off the lights is in reference to the first lights, oil lanterns. You would turn the knob and the flame (light) would go out. The phrase remains just as "hanging up the phone" and "roll down the window"

  36. S.... L....

    Love this song! Mrs doesn’t. Don’t care. Rock on! :D

  37. S.... L....

    Love this song! Mrs doesn’t. Don’t care. Rock on! :D

  38. R.... B....

    LOve this song and Willie Nelson!

  39. D.... M....

    My dad sang this most every night at bedtime, it was his way of saying go to bed.

  40. T.... M....

    WHOS HERE BECAUSE OF GVSU LETS GO LAKERS ANCHOR UP🔵⚫️🔵⚫️🔵

  41. R.... S....

    This is such a good song. I had the line "the party's over" stuck in my head so i searched it on google, clicked this video and well. I'm not sure if this was it or not. One of the lines sounded really really familiar. But either way. I'm content with listening to this and I'm glad I clicked.

  42. R.... ....

    I love this song!

  43. P.... ....

    YES ! Don Meredith breaking out with this song on MNF when the losing team is on the opponents 10 yard line in the last minute of the game, and the QB throws an interception. Gotta love it....

  44. M.... B....

    25 tracks!

  45. F.... S....

    😎🖕

  46. S.... C....

    I’m gonna preach a sermon one day called “Turn on the Light (Jesus, John 8:12), the Party’s Over!” - Acts 14:16

    S.... C....

    Sherman Crockett, Jr. Wouldn’t that be cool if there was really a little man up there that was running the whole show ?when you got up there it’s a little Willie Nelson

  47. J.... M....

    I always end our family karaoke parties with this one. It's a classic!

  48. P.... M....

    R.I.P Channel Awesome

  49. A.... L....

    Because famed radio personality Don Imus is retiring, this song will be requested for awhile as a farewell salute to Don Imus.

  50. n.... ....

    What a ‘crazy, crazy” good song🌞

  51. F.... A....

    My dad got shitfaced a few years back and bet $200 on a game of pool against me. He won in a single turn and was singing this song with a goofy smile on his face the whole time. I wasn't even mad.

    F.... A....

    LMAO. Me and my fiancee are making a wedding playlist, and she want this song as the last song because her dad used to sing it to her when he was putting the kids to bed. I read your comment out loud and we had a good laugh. Thanks mate.

    F.... A....

    @indyjoe6 my dad would sing along with dandy Don every Monday right RIP

  52. M.... M....

    The only song he
    recorded that I
    like. I generally don't care for vocalists who sing in a flat monotone, including Johnny Cash, George Jones, and Buck
    Owens. Don't like the tone of their
    voices either, although in this period of his early career Willie's tone sounded pretty good. Never cared for Sinatra's
    tone either. Regarding this recording, it works
    for me because it
    is nearly 60 years old, before his voice grew unbearably wobbly, twangy, and nasally.
    The wonderful orchestration and choir really helped put this recording over! We all certainly know which of Willie
    Nelson's recordings will be featured on the media during the event of his eventual
    passing!

    M.... M....

    I happen to love that wobbly, twangy, and nasally voice!

    M.... M....

    @Ruth Boykin
    I would never have guessed.

    M.... M....

    Milton Moore Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Milton! 🎶🎶😂💋

    M.... M....

    @Ruth Boykin How did the one-legged, pardoned turkey make its way all the way from the White House to Los Angeles?
    It hopped on the "gravy train."
    😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

    M.... M....

    Willie is a stylist singer. After a few notes you know exactly who it is. His voice is legend and so is his interpretations of songs I love it.

  53. J.... H....

    My grandpa died to this song

    My computer mouse brought me here :-)

  78. b.... ....

    Don Meredith brought me here! RIP Dandy Don!

  79. T.... V....

    KKJJ-FM, a small Country station back in the mid-1980's in Payson, Arizona, used this song at sign-off time at midnight. Very clever.

  80. J.... ....

    R.I.P.: Dandy Don Meredith. Football has lost it's personality.

    J.... ....

    Who are The Jokers doing it now on ESPN?  Even though Howard Cosell was not very popular with most of those watching Monday Night Football on ABC in the 70's and 80's, but what I loved most was Frank Gifford's insight of the game as well as Don Meredith personality which most definitely added another 20 Points to the Nielsen Ratings for ABC Monday Night Football.

    I still hear Dandy Don singing "Turn out the lights, The Party's Over" in my mind every so often.

    J.... ....

    Jiltedin2007 ESPN is a joke. Their announcers run to their safe spaces whenever the Redskins play on MNF

    J.... ....

    Really funny when he sang it in the huddle!

    J.... ....

    He did? When was this?

    J.... ....

    Consistently! Along with some others.  It was common knowledge when he was playing.

  81. R.... ....

    Good song has a meaning

  82. T.... G....

    My grandma closed her topless bar every night with this song for 20 years.

    T.... G....

    Was her last name Meredith?

    T.... G....

    @jcoba69 It's pretty obvious he was joking. But I don't think you are. Besides, operating a topless bar, as unsavory as it is, does not fall under the classification of pimping. Check your dictionary.

    T.... G....

    You'd think that after a few years she'd have been able to afford a roof. Must've been a mess whenever it rained.

    T.... G....

    @Milton Moore Just a little technical there Milton.

    T.... G....

    You’re a legend for even saying that.

  83. M.... T....

    The GOP brought me here.

    M.... T....

    same... when music when actually was good.

    M.... T....

    Landon Caviness Looks like the party is over for Trump and his administration! Imploding as we speak! LOL How is that "repeal and replace" going for you?

    M.... T....

    @Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places haha. Isn't Trump still President 3 years in? Haha

  84. A.... M....

    Chuck Morgan brought me here.

  85. R.... C....

    Little Ol me brought me here

    R.... C....

    That took gumption Randy.

  86. K.... O....

    Ponytail Bob brought me here.

  87. P.... ....

    Great Playback!

  88. b.... ....

    Anyone remember when Slick from the WWF used to sing this?

  89. M.... M....

    this is a good song this is old fashion country right here

  90. F.... O....

    ted cruz brought me here

  91. V.... ....

    No football fan can ever hear this song, and think of Dandy Don. RIP

  92. M.... B....

    Peyton manning retiring brought me here

  93. M.... G....

    Nach über 30 Jahren kann ich das Lied noch einmal hören. Da habe ich ja wirklich lange gewartet, bis ich es wiederfand

  94. b.... ....

    R.I.P the Danderoo.

  95. H.... A....

    I love you willie Nelson

  96. G.... M....

    Kind of funny. When Willie was performing  back in the '50's and early '60's he looked like a high school English teacher. Back then all performers were dressed "up". Now they look like they are normal.  Just glad he's stuck in there.

  97. R.... S....

    The memory of Dandy Don Meredith busting out with this song on the old Monday night football games when it obviously was as good as over, brought me here.
    Howard and Frank, Dandy...
    R.I.P

    R.... S....

    the good old days!!!!!

    R.... S....

    You are so right. Greenbay just lost to Eagles😢

  98. c.... b....

    wow such a nice happy song amen
