02 Feb 14 - 12:00 PM (#3597595) Subject: Lyr Add: FLOWER POWER DIED (John Hartford) From: Jim Dixon FLOWER POWER DIED Written by John Hartford As sung by John Hartford on "Aereo-Plain/Morning Bugle: The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings" (2012)* 1. Used to work on the river and I wore a headband All summer long way up to the fall, And now I'm a hippie and I don't wear one at all. Hadn't you heard? Flower power died and disappeared into the long, long ago. 2. Well, I used to be an Indian; I wore a lot o' beads And I danced around a fire to the Indian call, And now I'm a hippie and I don't wear beads at all. Hadn't you heard? Flower power died and disappeared into the long, long ago. 3. Used to live in the country and I had a lot o' flowers: Big ones, little ones, short and tall. Now I'm a hippie and I got no flowers at all. Hadn't you heard? Flower power died and disappeared into the long, long ago. 4. Well, I used to be a cowboy, rolled my own, Smoked a lot o' grass in the horse's stall, And now I'm a hippie and I don't smoke nothin' at all. Hadn't you heard? Flower power died and disappeared into the long, long ago. 5. Well, I had a little money and I always went to church, But I tripped on my promises and made a little fall, And now I'm a hippie and I got no money at all. Hadn't you heard? Flower power died and disappeared into the long, long ago. [* This is apparently a re-release on one CD of two albums that were originally on LPs: "Aereo-Plain" (1971) and "Morning Bugle" (1972); however, "Flower Power Died" didn't appear on either of those albums.] |
