Yodel Blues - The Petersens (LIVE)

This song was a request by none other than our mom! She has always loved yodeling and each year when we pick our set list, she brings up this song again so we finally gave in! Here is "Yodel Blues."

(Julz was still in college when we filmed this video)

►LYRICS - Yodel Blues
Oh, yodelay yodelay got the blues
Yodelay yodelay just for you
Yodelay yodelay and the sweetest still home I ever knew
Oh, yodelay yodelay gotta go
Yodelay yodelay don't you know
Yodelay yodelay and I'll sing the yodelay blues

Way up in New York City they got a different style
So busy making money they ain't got time to smile
It was so doggone crowded, I felt so hemmed in there
I came back home to Texas to get a breath of air

Oh, yodelay yodelay got the blues
Yodelay yodelay just for you
Yodelay yodelay and the sweetest still home I ever knew
Oh, yodelay yodelay gotta go
Yodelay yodelay don't you know
Yodelay yodelay and I'll sing the yodelay blues

Down in the valley
(Oh, yodelay yodelay got the blues
Yodelay yodelay just for you)

You'll hear me when the lights are low
(Yodelay yodelay and the sweetest still home I ever knew)

Down in the valley
(Oh, yodelay yodelay gotta go
Yodelay yodelay don't you know

You'll hear my yodelay blues
(Yodelay yodelay and I'll sing the yodelay blues)

We're so lonesome, we don't know what to do
I guess we're sentimental, feeling the way we do

Oh, yodelay yodelay gotta go
Yodelay yodelay don't you know
Yodelay yodelay and we'll sing the yodelay blues

How could anyone not smile while watching this??

(And Matt keep his shirt on and buttoned during the end credits! )

[NiallMor]

Well, howdy, buckaroos and buckarettes! It's been too long since I've watched a Petersens video, and this one was a dandy! Bluegrass, classic country, classic rock (Queen, no less), and now Western swing! Is there anything y' all can't do? Thanks for brightening my day!

[omarbromar]

I just love the "down in the valley" part

[kellyalger]

More people need to hear music like this!

[bobarii]

I knew it! There has been a subtle change in Ellen's countenance. This is so exciting!!! Mama and her man are about the join the most prestigious club of them all, grandparents! The family and our world will be blessed with a new life. God bless you all and thanks for letting us in on the wonderful news!

[Roberto-pdvn]

What to say? An upbeat song and a really fun atmosphere. But, as always, behind everything, there is always a lot of talent, great professionalism and attention to detail. In short... the Petersens style!!!

[gianfrancoperticone]

Dear friends you hit me again! Greetings from Italy! I love you all! Ciaoooo.

What a pure acoustic band sound. The blending is marvelous.

Congratulations Ellen & Mike. I was wonderin' when this would occur. You will make a great Mom. And I MISS Julz.
