Hippies In Calgary (2000 Version)

Hippies In Calgary (2000 Version) - Chris Ledoux (克里斯-勒多克斯)

Well a few years back

Me and Ol' John worked the calgary rodeo

We were hangin' around town with nothing to do

And nowhere else to go

And cowboys are known for their fun loving ways

Pranks and practical jokes

And I'll never forget the night we impressed

A bunch of them calgary folks

Well just down the hall in the ole hotel

Where me and old John stayed

Were some school marms

They'd come up from dallas

To party for a couple of days

Now these old gals was fancy dressers

They had wigs and beads and all

So we put on my hair and took off our

Boots

And boogied on down the hall

Well you could never tell we were cowboys

We were real lookin' hippies by heck

With long hair bare feet and old T shirts

And beads around our necks

And sure we just had to show someone

So we boogied on down to the lounge

There was cowboys and gents in nice old suits

And ladies in long evening gowns

Well we found us a table and pulled out a

Chair

And lit up some bull durham smokes

The smoke filled the air everyone there

Thought these hippies were smokin' **

Now leonard and cravy and old ronnie roseland

Were sitting two tables away

So we did what we thought that hippies would do

When we noticed them lookin' our way

Well we waved our long hair and rolled back our

Eyes

And sucked in them home made smokes

Sayin' stuff like cool and ya man wow

We put on one heck of a show

Now ronnie and lenard they'd been there a while

And they wasn't feelin' much pain

Now reckon they figured they'd have some fun

With these two hippie freaks that walked in

Well the bar got deathly quiet

As those cowboys come our way

And those city folks knew it wouldn't be long

Till the battle got under way

Now ronnie he came right over to me

And he looked me right square in the eye

He said hey there boy what's that stuff you're smokin'

I said here man give it a try

Well that didn't make him too happy

And then when I told him to bug out

He blinked and snorted like a mad brahamer bull

And frolicked and foamed at the mouth

Well just about then I looked at old John

And his face had turned a beat red

'Cause leonard had grabbed him right by the throat

With plans to tear off his head

Now ronnie reached out with a huge left hand

And grabbed a hold of my hair

With his right fist cocked he said now boy

You better start sayin' your prayers

Well he gave the yank and my wig come off

And lay limp there across his hand

The most stupefied look I've never seen

On the face of any man

Well he dropped the thing like a poisonous snake

And stared at it there on the floor

Then he looked up at me and saw who I

Was

And he laughed he gave out a roar

Well this story doesn't have any moral

It was just one mighty good gag

But I sighed with relief ronnie didn't swing first

Before he pulled off my wig
