"Yasgur's Farm" Copyright August 11, 2025 by Gary E. Andrews
Some time a long time ago I sang a few Lines, ad lib, and liked them, but I think I quit after using the commercial name of a product, a powder people put in their coffee. I don't know if they still make it or not. I think later I added the John Kennedy Lines but never finished the Song.
The F.B.I. Man is probably anyone in Law Enforcement, and his hand became J. Edgar Hoover's.
The funny thing is, the Singer-Character is looking for his hat, in a daze after three days there, but, apparently, has found it and has it in his hand, but is still looking for it. The festival is over. The fields are littered. And this is the scene.

I was still down on Yasgur's Farm.
I was searchin' for my hat,
when the F.B.I. man came up to me,
and said, "Boy! What's that?"
He ran his J. Edgar Hoover hand,
down into my fedora,
came up with three dollars cash,
and a packet... of Cremora."

I said, "I miss John Kennedy, don't you?"
He blinked and looked right through me.
A tear came to the corner of his eye.
And he said somethin' to me,
that I never will forget,
until the day I die.
He said, "We lost the American Dream
and more in the most awful way.
It was done right there before our eyes,
before we knew what to say.
Tomorrow can't be any worse.
It can't be any better.
You get home and see if ol'
Nixon's sent you a letter."

I remember Yasgur's Farm,
like a picture in my rear view mirror.
The old man sees the young man now.
He sees him a little clearer.
I made it back from where I went.
I love life a little dearer,
like those days of peace and joy,
I hold a whole lot nearer.

There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com
