GO SING JOHN HARTFORD

The car in the yard is old and rusty, the county’s been after me to haul it away
The road out in front is alone and dusty, so nobody sees that car anyway.

All I wanted was a little bit of sunlight
Shining on my garden, help the flowers grow.
Oh I hope my old truck will run right
Gonna go and sing some John Hartford at the Bean Blossom show.

I’d like to win at the Cherokee Casino, the Indians always seem to take my cash
I can’t afford to go to Vegas or Reno, so I give’em 30 dollars and it really went fast.

All I wanted was a little bit of sunlight
Shining on my garden, help the flowers grow.
Oh I hope my old truck will run right
Gonna go and sing some John Hartford at the Bean Blossom show.

I’d Love to play and play and sing like the great man
See all the folks, and say ‘how-do-ya-do’
Travel around some and see this great land.
Maybe dip my cup in some Hobo Stew……….

I went to church last week, and it got me thinkin’
Bout’ my life, and Lord what should I do.
Come Christmas day, I’mgonna stop drinkin’
New Years Eve, I may have one or two.

All I wanted was a little bit of sunlight
Shining on my garder, help the flowers grow.
Oh I hope my old truck will run right
Gonna go and sing some John Hartford at the Bean Blossom show
Sing some John Hartford at the Bean Blossom show….
Sing some John Hartford at the Bean Blossom show.
