In 1974, a live recording of “Marie Laveau”by Bobby Bare went to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. The song tells the story of a fictional and nasty-looking witch living in the bayous of Louisiana within a hollow log – together with her one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog. Her name came from one of the world’s most famous voodoo pract...
Written by Shel Silverstein, an award-winning children’s writer who was also a prolific songwriter, “Daddy, What If”describes a father-and-son relationship. What makes the song special is that it features a five-year-old Bobby Bare, Jr. going back and forth, asking his father questions such as, “What if I stopped lovin’ you what would happen then.”
Bare finds himself imagining Jesus as a divine football player who can send him soaring past the life’s temptation with one heavenly drop kick. It was written by Paul Craft, who admitted that there were quite a few people – including his mother – who believed that something was not right with a song that had ‘kick’ and ‘Jesus’ that close together i...
Originally recorded by Canadian folk duo Ian and Sylvia, Bare released a country arrangement of “Four Strong Winds.”The melancholic ballad reflects on a romantic relationship that’s about to end. The narrator then expressed his desire for a potential reunion in a new place in the future. Bare’s version reached No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs...
This country music standard was written and originally recorded by the legendary Tom T. Hall. It tells the story of a man who came to Memphis, searching for his former mistress – who most likely does not want to be found. Bare released his version in 1970 and brought the song to No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
Bare plays the role of a family man in this song as he describes the day-to-day domestic life. However, this is just all make-believe, as the song’s primary subject is about his recent adulterous relationship with a woman named Margie.
The simple repetitive lyrics of “500 Miles Away from Home” – which sings about a traveler’s lament for being away from home, penniless, and too humiliated to return – have been recorded by different artists in different languages. Bare’s version in 1963 was the most commercially successful one.
Another heavily covered country song, “Streets of Baltimore”tells the story of a husband who left his home to bring his wife to where she wanted to be – and that’s none other than Baltimore. Unfortunately, his wife fell in love with Baltimore nightlife more than him, and he ended up coming back to his Tennessee farm without her.
Bare’s first Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, “Detroit City,” resonates with anyone who ever moved far from a rural home. It became a genre standard, best known as a working man’s complaint.
“A Dear John Letter”has been covered by several performers, including Bare, who enlisted Skeeter Davis to release it as a duet. Their version resulted in a No. 11 country hit.
