Just Back From Woodstock

Don't Know Where To Begin,

Yasgur's Was The Man! ! !


The Stage Was Muddied

From boot-strapped Rockers Stomping

The Night Sky Glistened-


Until Heaven Wept

'Cuz Elvis Couldn't Be There,

It Rained, So We Loved-


So Hard, We Laid Down

Our Candles In The Rain, Yes,

Hendrix Closed The Show.
