Joseph Emmett Mainer grew up on a farm in the mountains near Weaverville, North Carolina and learned to play the banjo and fiddle from an early age. Since Wade, his brother, also was interested in learning to play the banjo, he left that to Wade and concentrated on the fiddle. Soon, Mainer began performing at local country barn dances. He found work at a textile mill in Knoxville, Tennessee but moved to Concord, North Carolina in 1922 for another work in a mill.
Mainer's fame as a fiddler rose and sponsored by the Crazy Water Crystals in 1933, he and his newly formed band consisting of J. E. on fiddle, Wade Mainer on banjo, and Zeke Morris on guitar, made their radio debut on WBT in Charlotte, North Carolina calling themselves "J.E. Mainer and his Crazy Mountaineers." The band appeared on several radio stations in the following years until 1935, when they received a recording contract on. In August the same year, the Mountaineers, with the addition of "Daddy" John Love, recorded for Bluebird Records. Wade Mainer and Zeke Morris temporarily left the band in the early 1936 to form a duo. In the meantime Ollie Bunn, Howard Bumgardner and Clarence Todd replaced Wade, Zeke and "Daddy" John Love on the next recording session. In the summer of 1936, Wade and Zeke returned to record with "the mountaineers". The next year, in 1937, Wade Mainer formed the "Sons of the Mountaineers". Shortly, a new change of personnel occurred when Leonard "Lester" Stokes and George Morris became members of "the mountaineers" calling themselves "Handsome and Sambo". They added Snuffy Jenkins on banjo on the following recording session. In late 1938, Stokes and Morris were once more replaced by Clyde Moody and Jay Hugh Hall. The band continued to perform on radio stations in both North and South Carolina.
The Mountaineers disbanded at the outbreak of World War II, but Mainer continued to record in the late 1940s, together with his sons, Glenn and Curly, for King Records. Between 1967 and 1971, the year of his death, literally hundreds of post-war recordings were released on Rural Rhythm Records. Mainer will be inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame on October 11, 2012.

J.E. Mainer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here I stand with my arms open wide,
Give me love and remember, what I told you,
I'll keep you satisfied.
You don't need anybody to kiss you,
Ev'ry day I'll be here by your side,
Don't go 'way, I'm afraid that I might miss you,
I'll keep you satisfied.
But it's diff'rent with a boy like me and a love like mine.
So believe ev'rything that I told you,
And agree that with me by your side,
You don't need anybody to hold you,
I'll keep you satisfied.
You can always get a simple thing like love anytime,
But it's diff'rent with a boy like me and a love like mine.
So believe ev'rything that I told you,
And agree that with me by your side,
You don't need anybody to hold you,
I'll keep you satisfied.
Give me love and remember, what I told you,
I'll keep you satisfied.
The lyrics of J.E. Mainer's song "Satisfied" seem to be about a person who promises to keep their lover satisfied and happy.

This can be interpreted as the singer being possessive or protective of their lover, ensuring that they don't feel a lack of affection or abandon.
The singer promises to always be by their lover's side and fears that they may miss them if they leave. This suggests that the singer is deeply in love with their partner and doesn't want to lose them. They reassure their partner that they will always be there to keep them satisfied and happy, and that they don't need anyone else.
The singer also suggests that their love is different from others because they are different from other boys and have a unique love. They urge their partner to believe everything they say and agree to be with them, and they will keep them satisfied. The overall tone of the lyrics is romantic and passionate, emphasizing the singer's commitment to their lover.
