Greenwich Village Folk Song Salesman
I met him in a Greenwich village coffee nook
He was selling folk songs and little bitty books
The place was full of happy hop'd up hippies at the time
All mornin' 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
Said I've got songs about Detroit and VietNam
And new one about the economic opportunity program
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 berd 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
Said I've got songs about Detroit and VietNam
And new one about the economic opportunity program
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...
Vendedor de Canções Folk de Greenwich Village
Eu o encontrei em um café de Greenwich Village
Ele estava vendendo canções folk e livrinhos pequenos
O lugar estava cheio de hippies felizes e animados na época
A manhã toda ele não tinha feito um centavo
Ele era um vendedor de canções folk de Greenwich Village
Você devia ter ouvido o estilo dele
Ele era um vendedor de canções folk de Greenwich Village
Ele pulava e cantava uma de vez em quando
Disse que tinha canções sobre Detroit e Vietnã
E uma nova sobre o programa de oportunidades econômicas
Ele tinha um banjo com uma alça de jacaré
Ele cantava uma canção a qualquer momento
Ele tinha uma canção que o Johnson deveria ter ouvido
No ritmo do Grande Pássaro Manchado
Ele era um vendedor de canções folk de Greenwich Village
Sua barba era de um tom escuro de verde
Ele era um vendedor de canções folk de Greenwich Village
E de vez em quando ele pulava e gritava
Disse que tinha canções sobre Detroit e Vietnã
E uma nova sobre o programa de oportunidades econômicas
Bem, eu disse a ele que logo teria que ir embora
De volta para a Cidade da Música, EUA
Ele disse que se você visse o Lee e a Nancy, meu amigo
Diga a eles que eu tenho quinze canções para eles
Ele era um vendedor de canções folk de Greenwich Village...
