Captain T (Tom Hunnicutt): Music

The Mother Earth News
By Tom Hunnicutt

Verse 1
I was standing in the drug store wasting my time,
didn’t have a dollar – didn’t have a dime.
I saw this strange magazine – you know the kind.
‘Bout the birds and the bees, and the trees – The Mother Earth News.

Chorus
Oh, Mother earth you sure look good to me,
I’ve done had my education of the blues.
Paid all my taxes and my dues,
I’m needing a change – got to save my brain - thank you
Mother Earth News.

Verse 2
I worked hard in the city all my life,
But couldn’t get them bills paid on time.
Couldn’t breath the air and that ain’t all,
I was needing a change – to save my brain –
Oh, Mother Earth News.

Verse 3
Now I got me a cabin in the hills ,
Got a good women you’ll help me do the till.
Got two milk goats for them fou kids of mine,
And one old sow and the latest edition of
The Mother Earth News.
