Hippie Boy - The Flying Burrito Brothers[00:00:00]
I was walking down the street the other day[00:00:26]
And a sight came before my eyes[00:00:29]
It was a little hippie boy I must have been twice his size[00:00:32]
His appearance typified his strange breed[00:00:39]
Gaudy clothes long stringy hair hanging down[00:00:43]
I'd seen perhaps a thousand in my early trips to town[00:00:48]
As he walked beside me on down the block[00:00:55]
I noticed no unpleasing smell[00:00:59]
He might have been on the w**d or even LSD[00:01:01]
But if he was I couldn't tell[00:01:05]
So we walked together that way through this neighborhood[00:01:10]
Finally he turned around to me[00:01:15]
And he he said [00:01:16]
"Friend you know we're a million miles apart[00:01:19]
But you know something[00:01:25]
We can enjoy the sunshine and the weather[00:01:26]
So why don't we put our differences aside[00:01:30]
And just talk to each other"[00:01:35]
You see this box beneath my arm[00:01:39]
To you it's plain it has no charm[00:01:42]
But to someone dearest to my heart[00:01:46]
This box has played a tragic part[00:01:48]
This little one can't tell you himself about[00:01:58]
His life and how he died[00:02:01]
But if anyone else could speak for him[00:02:04]
I guess I'm qualified[00:02:06]
This boy was in Chicago [00:02:11]
He didn't know why he was there[00:02:13]
He was with his family and friends[00:02:15]
And he didn't really care[00:02:19]
You might have been one of those[00:02:23]
Who saw the struggle there on your television screen[00:02:24]
The tragic thing is so much else happened[00:02:30]
That no one else could have seen[00:02:34]
A stranger handed this boy a dollar to do a simple chore[00:02:43]
To carry a package to a nearby hotel[00:02:47]
And when he returned he'd get two more[00:02:50]
But when he came back he sort of lost his way[00:02:55]
Walking through the crowd[00:02:58]
One of them things you ask yourself[00:03:00]
How the Lord allowed[00:03:02]
But when he was found he was like he is now[00:03:09]
Dreaming sweet and still[00:03:13]
And in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill[00:03:17]
Now you can take that dollar[00:03:27]
Get four cents on it compound[00:03:30]
It quarterly at any downtown bank[00:03:32]
So they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb[00:03:38]
What I'm going to tell you now [00:03:47]
You can stay or you can leave[00:03:49]
You kind of listened to my story[00:03:52]
So far but just one more thing[00:03:54]
It's the same for any hippie [00:03:59]
Bum or hillbilly out on the street[00:04:00]
Just remember this little boy[00:04:05]
And never carry more than you can eat[00:04:07]
Now could you help us sing this song please[00:04:12]
There will be peace in the valley for him now we pray[00:04:20]
I will think of the little hippie boy that way that way[00:04:27]
