How Have You Been (2007 Remastered Album Version) - John Sebastian

How have you been my darling children

While I have been away in the west

Though you are strangers

I feel that I know you

By the way that you treat me

And offer to feed me

And egarly ask if I'll stay for a rest

Now sit yourselves down in a pile here before me

I wish I had presents for each of your smiles

But I have been traveling

Without much to carry

Just a broken guitar case with tape on the sides

A bag and a few signs to help me get rides

But here are some beads from a throat of a princess

Who reigned in the years 'round 200 BC

Divid them and wear them

And make sure to share them

Because I want you to have them in hopes that'll be

As lovely as the lady who gave them to me

And here is a strange European guitar string

I found on the floor of a Club in Marselles

It's fat for the third string

And skinny for the fourth string

But I keep in hopes that I use it someday

It's funny how people just keep things that way

And here is a turtle from a Long Island Expressway

He says that his home has been covered with tar

So I gave him a ride on the back of my suitcase

And he says he'd like to stay here in your yard

At long last his life won't be quite so hard

How have you been my darling children

While I have been away in the west

Though you are strangers

I feel that I know you

By the way that you treat me

And offer to feed me

And egarly ask if I'll stay for a rest

By the way that you treat me

And offer to feed me

And egarly ask if I'll stay for a rest
