Greenwich Village Folk Song Salesman Lyrics


Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood Greenwich Village Folk Song Salesman

Nancy:
[Verse 1]
I met him in a Greenwich village coffee nook
(Greenwich?)
He was selling folk songs and little dirty books
The place was full of happy hop'd up hippies at the time
All mornin' long he hadn't made a dime

Both:
[Chorus]
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

Lee:
[Post-Chorus]
I've got songs about Detroit and Vietnam
And new one about the economic opportunity program
(What's that?)
(I don't know, I didn't write this.)

Nancy:
[Verse 2]
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

Both:
[Chorus]
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
His beard was a dark shade of green
(Ugh)
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
And now and then he'd jump up and he'd scream

Lee:
[Post-Chorus]
I've got songs about Detroit and Vietnam
And new one about the economic opportunity program
(I can't even pronounce that!)

Nancy:
[Verse 3]
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

Both:
[Chorus]
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
You should have heard the bag he was in
(What a bag x3)
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
He'd jump up and sing one now and then
(Oh yes!)
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
You should have heard the bag he was in
(What a bag x3)
He was a Greenwich village folk song salesman
He'd jump up and sing one now and then
