Greenwich Village Folk Song Salesman

(albüm: Nancy & Lee - 1968)

I met him in a Greenwich village coffee nook (Greenwich?)
He was selling folk songs and little dirty books
The place was full of happy hop'd up hippies at the time
All morning long he hadn't made a dime

He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
You should have heard the bag he was in
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
He'd jump up and sing one now and then

I've got songs about Detroit and Vietnam
And new one about the economic opportunity program

What's that?
I don't know, I ain't write this song

He had a little banjo with an alligator strap
He'd sing a song at the drop of your hat
He had one song there that Johnson should have heard
To the tune of the Great Speckled Bird

He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
His beard was a dark shade of green
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
And now and then he'd jump up and he screams

I've got songs about Detroit and Vietnam
And new one about the economic opportunity program

I can't even pronounce that!

Well I told him I had to soon be on my way
Way back to Music City US of A
He said if you'd see Lee and Nancy my friend
Tell 'em I've got fifteen songs for them

He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
You should have heard the bag he was in
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
He'd jump up and sing one now and then oh yeah

He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
You should have heard the bag he was in
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
He'd jump up and sing one now and then

Are you sure it's Greenwich?
