Handling Mail, Bills, Voting, and Driver's License.The Flybridge Navi-Nut (patent pending).Jekyll Island Beaches are For the Dogs, in Pictures.Gail and Dale sang this song on the Lawrence Welk Show. It was a song about excess, overdosing on weed in this case, or being "one toke over the line".Īwaitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary According to, Brewer and Shipley wrote the song while in a dressing room at a coffee house. LOL! I couldn't hear even back then.Īnyway, what I usually do when confronted with something contrary to what I thought I knew was that I googled the lyrics and their meaning. I suppose everyone had loosened up a bit by 1971 and it’s possible that some people didn’t know what a toke was. I loved that song, but what got me was that I thought the words were "one toe over the line". Reading my Facebook page this morning, there was a YouTube link to "One Toke Over the Line" by Brewer and Shipley, a great tune from 1971. It was about war, it was about peace and love, and it was about drugs. Much of the music was anti-establishment. Rock and roll and folk music, and a blend of the two. People my age, 60 and over listened to music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. No, I don't have any facts to back that statement up, but I'm guessing its true.ĭo you remember when you were a kid and the old folks listened to Lawrence Welk? Stick with me here.
