Little Green (Live at Canterbury House, Ann Arbor, MI, 10/27/1967) (2nd Set)

Born with the moon in Cancer

Choose her a name she'll answer to

Call her green and the winters can not fade her

Call her green for the children who have made her little, green

Be a gypsy dancer

He went to California

Hearing that everything's warmer there

So you write him a letter, say, "her eyes are blue"

He sends you a poem and she's lost to you

Little, green, he's a non-comformer

Just a little green

Like the color when the spring is born

There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow

Just a little green

Like the night's when the Northern lights perform

There'll be icicles and birthday clothes and sometimes

There'll be sorrow

Child with a child pretending

Weary of lies you are sending home

So you sign all the papers in the family name

You're sad and you're sorry but you're not ashamed, little green

Little green, have a happy ending

Just a little green

Like the color when the spring is born

There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow

Just a little green

Like the night's when the Northern lights perform

There'll be icicles and birthday clothes

And sometimes there'll be sorrow
