Current version of the lyrics						Version 1 of The Flying Burrito Brothers Lyrics Hippie Boy (http://www.mp3lyrics.org/f/flying-burrito-brothers/hippie-bo...) Version 1 of the lyrics
	I was walking down the street the other day						I was walking down the street the other day
1	And a sight came before my eyes						and a sight came before my eyes	1
2	It was a little hippie boy, I must have been twice his size						it was a little hippie boy, I must have been twice his size	2
3	His appearance typified his strange breed						his appearence typified his strange breed	3
4	Gaudy clothes, long stringy hair hanging down						gaudy clothes, long stringy hair hanging down	4
	I'd seen perhaps a thousand in my early trips to town						I'd seen perhaps a thousand in my early trips to town
5							as he walked beside me on down the block	5
1	As he walked beside me on down the block							1
	I noticed no unpleasing smell						I noticed no unpleasing smell
6	He might have been on the weed or even LSD						he might have been on the weed or even LSD	6
7	But if he was I couldn't tell						but if he was I couldn't tell	7
8							so we walked together that way through this neighborhood	8
9	So we walked together that way through this neighborhood						finally he turned around to me	9
10	Finally he turned around to me						and he said friend, you know we're a million miles apart	10
11	And he, he said, "Friend, you know we're a million miles apart						but                           you know something we can enjoy the sunshine and the weather	11
12	But you know something we can enjoy the sunshine and the weather						so why don't            we put our differences aside	12
13	So why don't we put our differences aside						and just talk to each other	13
14	And just talk to each other"						you see this box beneath my arm	14
15							to you it's plain, it has no charm	15
16	You see                                  this box beneath my arm						but to someone dearest to my heart this box has played a tragic part	16
17	To                           you it's plain, it has no charm						this little one can't tell you himself about his life and how he died	17
18	But to someone dearest to my heart						but if anyone else could speak for him I guess I'm qualified	18
19	This box has played a tragic part						this boy was in Chicago, he didn't know why he was there	19
20							he was with his family and friends and he didn't really care	20
21	This little one can't tell you himself about his life and how he died						you might have been one of those	21
22	But if anyone else could speak for him I guess I'm qualified						who saw the struggle there on your television screen	22
23	This boy was in Chicago, he didn't know why he was there						the tragic thing is so much else happened	23
24	He was with his family and friends and he didn't really care						that no one else could have seen	24
25							a stranger handed this boy a dollar to do a simple chore	25
26	You might have been one of those						to carry a package to a nearby hotel	26
27	Who saw the struggle there on your television screen						and when he returned he'd get two more	27
28	The tragic thing is so much else happened						but when he came back he sort of lost his way walking thru the crowd	28
29	That no one else could have seen						one of them things you ask yourself, how the Lord allowed	29
30							but when he was found he was like he is now	30
31	A stranger handed this boy a dollar to do a simple chore						dreaming sweet and still	31
32	To carry                         a package to a nearby hotel						and in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill	32
33	And when he returned he'd get two more						now you can take that dollar	33
34	But when he came back he sort of lost his way						get four cents on it compound itquarterly at any downtown bank	34
35	Walking through the crowd						so they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb	35
36	One of them things           you ask yourself, how the Lord allowed						well, what I'm going to tell you now, you can stay or you can leave	36
37							you kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing	37
38	But when he was found he was like he is now						it's the same for any hippie, bum or hillbilly out on the street	38
39	Dreaming sweet                    and still						just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat	39
40	And in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill						now could you help us sing this song, please	40
41	Now you can take that dollar						there will be peace in the valley for him now we pray	41
42	Get four cents on it compound it quarterly at any downtown bank						I will think of the little hippie boy that way	42
2	So they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb							2
3								3
4	What I'm going to tell you now, you can stay or you can leave							4
5	You kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing							5
6	It's the same for any hippie, bum or hillbilly out on the street							6
7	Just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat							7
8	Now could you help us sing this song, please							8
9								9
10	There will be peace in the valley for him now we pray							10
11	I will think of the little hippie boy that way, that way							11
