ATF: Green and Gold

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Green-Eyed Lady
Sugarloaf
Green-eyed lady
Lovely lady
Strolling slowly
Towards the sun
Green-eyed lady
Ocean lady
Soothing every raging wave
That comes

Green-eyed lady
Passion's lady
Dressed in love
She lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady
Feels life
I never see
Setting suns
And lonely lovers free

Green-eyed lady
Wind-swept lady
Rules the night
The waves
The sand
Green-eyed lady
Ocean lady
Child of nature
Friend of man

Green-eyed lady
Passion's lady
Dressed in love
She lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady
Feels life
I never see
Setting suns
And lonely lovers free

Sister Golden Hair
America
Well I tried to make it Sunday
But I got so damned depressed
That I set my sights on Monday
And I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar
But I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be
A friend of mine

Well I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you
Can't you see it in my eyes
I’ve been one poor correspondent
And I been too
Too hard to find
But it doesn't mean
You ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle
Will you meet me in the air
Will you love me just a little
Just enough to show you care
Well I tried to fake it
I don't mind sayin'
I just can't make it

Well I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you
Can't you see it in my eyes
Now I’ve been one poor correspondent
And I’ve been too
too hard to find
But it doesn't mean
You ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle
Will you meet me in the air
Will you love me just a little
Just enough to show you care
Well I tried to fake it
I don't mind sayin'
I just can't make it

  4. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! I am really glad enjoyed this. Sister Goldenhair is my most favoritist of America's songs, but Lonely People is a close second. Be assured that it will be one of the other America tunes to be included in this series later on.
