Written by communist Woody Guthrie. In 4th-grade Music during the McCarthy era, my conservative Iowa teachers would have us sing it. Ha ha.
Yeah but in Iowa they probably learned it from Eddie Arnold or Burl Ives....for me in Iowa the first I heard do it was probably Pete Seeger
That's because you post stuff that gets people frothing at the mouth and tearing at each other's throats. Try something like this: "If you're going to San Francisco Be sure to wear Some flowers in your hair If you're going to San Francisco You're gonna meet Some gentle people there For those who come To San Francisco Summertime Will be a love-in there In the streets of San Francisco Gentle people With flowers in their hair . . . "
This is like Inner City Blues by Marvin Gay and Curtis Mayfield....awesome Clark sings like Marvin on this....love that horn section
I've played that song with so many bands over the years...now I play it at parties and family gatherings often
