I've listened to this song since 1967 but have never read the lyrics until today, 2023. Pure genius, thank you poster.

Every single day.
And I love Glenn C.☆🎼☆

This song takes me back to a simpler time in my life. Its one of Glens biggest hits and it displays his vocals and tenderness to get this song across. RIP Mr. Campbell may you know we are still listening to words written Decades ago❤

Finally an intelligent way of putting the lyrics. People always put the lyrics too late on the screen. Congratulations and greetings from Brazil.

One of the greatest songs ever composed. Only Glen Campbell could ace these John Hartford lyrics in this spectacular way. AWESOME !

[russellbrown]

Quite possibly one of the greatest songs ever written. Whew!

[tomcedergren]

Could this be the greatest song ever written?

[山新宿]

I can't explain why it's so great.

Great job. Thanks for sharing. One minor correction, though. "My beard a rustling cold towel" should actually be "My beard a roughening coal pile".

[randykelso]

"...my beard a rustling coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low across my face...". Anybody else hear it that way at 2:19?

A correction to the lyrics..."my beard a roughened coal pile" is the correct line.

This song is rather dated. People are much more materialistic now. When this song came out people aspired to be free spirits. The first two lines of this song sound a little strange by today's standards. When this song first came out many people looked at materialism with disdain. The hippies of this world had experimented with living in subsistence communes and taking LSD. Movies like "The Graduate" decried the obsession with money of these people's parents. Maybe someday I will try to live by the words of this song, but today I like having a soft mattress and clean clothes.
