Subject: Lyr Add: THE HILLBILLY HIPPIE AND MARIJANE
Ran across some 25-30 year old cassette tapes and found this jewel.

It is not on any of the many H&J LPs/CAs I have and since it has a slight mis-speak goof in it...suspect it was from a live show...


THE HILLBILLY HIPPIE AND MARIJANE
Homer & Jethro

Way down south in New Orleans
Walkin' down Bourbon Street
Saw a country cat, he wore no hat
No shoes upon his feet

As he walked along, he's puttin' ever'body on
With a pseudo southern drawl
He'd bum a dime and then he'd whine
Merci beaucoup, you all

He was a real gone turned on hillbilly hippie
And he flew jist like a plane
He could go like a jet when he smoked cigarettes
That the hippies call marijane

Well he called for his pipe and he took a puff
He took off on a trip
Didn't need a train, didn't need a plane
He could sail without a ship

And soon he'd be in Tennessee
Hong Kong and old Baghdad
He'd take a whirl around the world
And never leave his pad

He was a real gone turned on hillbilly hippie
And he flew jist like a plane
He could go like a jet when he'd smoke a cigarette
That the hippies call marijane
