Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Jerry Clower

One of my favorites is when he was giving a talk and comes off the stage to tell Uncle Vercy he hoped he would get better, and Uncle Vercy tells him "I hope you do to"....

On the night shift I used to listen to a n AM radio station out of Baton Rouge Louisiana that played Jerry at about 0300 every morning. It was a good way to end the night.

kwg

All I know is on the start of that album they introduce him all the way from Yazoo City Mississippi

That's what popped into my head when I saw the thread name

You're all correct....

Comes from Route 4 Liberty, Mississippi. 12 miles west of McComb, Missiissippi. 65 miles due northeast of baton rouge, lousianaer 116 miles due north of new orleans, lousianaer.

Right there in Amite County.

Still makes my sides hurt 🤣

Mizz women libber, mamma don't want you messin' with the deal she's got!!!

Jerry was a fertilizer salesman from Yahzoo City, MS.
I can only imagine that the company he sold for suffered greatly when he left.
I bet that man could have sold screen doors to Eskimos!

The one I like is Jerry talking about sitting in a "Green Room" before going on a talk show as a guest.
Jerry had on a pair of alligator boots and one of those big, fat, die hard, tree hugging fruitcakes women was in the room too.
She began to give him the "What for..." for killing innocent creatures so he could have fancy, high priced boots.
When she finally began to wind down, Jerry interrupted her and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but apparently you've been educated beyond your intelligence....."

I recollect one about the coon dog named High-Ball.

He weren't nothing without them Ledbetters;
Ardell, Burnell, Raynell, WL, Lenell, Odell, Udell, Marcell, Claude, Neugene and Clovis.
Can't forget" Aunt Pet and Uncle Versey."

"God said he thought that cat was a lion too"
AHHHHHHHH !

LOL. My GrandParents had a huge ole Victrola Model like that. With several Jerry Clower Albums.

Best Jerry Clower Line ever:
“Well then, just shoot amongst us! One of us has got to get some relief ! “ 🤠

Those stories Jerry Clower told may have seemed all made up to some people. Especially nowadays but rat killing and coon hunting are as good as it gets!

LOL. I see you beat me too it ! 🤪

That podcast I referenced early on in this thread had a lengthy interview with Jerry's neighbor. Said most all the stories he told were true, or at least had a majority of truth in them.

He said that High-Ball was famous in that area as being a top dog, everybody around knew about High-Ball.

The one about the electric being wired into the church and they were hoping to get a new chandeleir. Uncle Versy (I think it was) stood up, said he objected to it. First off, he didn't know of any of them that could even spell chandelier to order it from the Sears & Roebuck catalog. Secondly, didn't think any of them even knew how to play it, and lastly, he thought they shouldn't be spending frivalously on no chandelier when what they really needed was lights.

Hearing all this again I might have to get that old album out let my kids hear this and grandkids I'm sure they never have. Cool part is actually that album is in amongst a bunch of old 45s from elvis, Jerry Lee lewis, Johnny cash, and amongst others

Lol guy ! Jerrrryyyy ......" let go of the sprout " .... "is anybody else up there"

And if you axed anybody around Yazoo if they knew Jerry Clower they wouldn’t know who you’re talking about.

But if you axed them about JehClao they could tell you all about him. Southern English.

Is that the one where the guy brought the monkey with for coon huntin'?

How about when he went to the Ritz Carlton and all them "Ya-chets" were tied up in the harbor? The Bellman had on a Claw-Hammer tail coat.

If you listen closely and know exactly what to listen for, you'll hear "TRUUUUUUUUUSSSSTTT THHHHHHHHHE PLAAAAAAN JOOOOHHHHHHHHHNNNN".
