Long Daddy Green Lyrics


Long daddy green is an old old friend
he hangs around the rainbow's end
dealing out dreams from a pot full of fortune and fame,
fanning the flame
hear him calling your name.Long daddy green is a fly by night
you turn around he's out of sight,
seems he's your fair weather friend
and your foul weather foe;
the wind starts to blow
daddy green starts to go;
the lies he tells aren't new to you
you're not naive
you know he won't be true to you,
still you believe,
you believe.Long daddy green chops you down to size
with slow hellos and fast goodbyes,
he comes around when you feel about ten ft tall,
to make you feel small,

like nothing at allLong daddy green is a heartless host,
ignores you when you need him most,
likes to pretend he's a hard to get next to guy.
He'll give you the eye
while he's waving goodbye

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Blossom Dearie (1926-2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist. Born on 28th April 1926 in East Durham, New York, of mixed Scottish and Norwegian ancestry, Dearie began her career in vocal groups in New York. In the early 1950s she moved to Paris, forming her own vocal group, The Blue Stars, later to become the Swingle Singers. After signing to Verve, Dearie returned to the U.S. where, despite developing a successful career and achieving international fame, by 1974 the lack of interest from major labels led her to start her own label, Daffodil Records.
