My Old Man - Joni Mitchell

    Born with the moon in Cancer
    Choose her a name she will answer to
    Call her green and the winters cannot fade her
    Call her green for the children who've made her
    Little green, be a gypsy dancer

    He went to California
    Hearing that everything's warmer there
    So you write him a letter and say, "Her eyes are blue."
    He sends you a poem and she's lost to you
    Little green, he's a non-conformer

    [Chorus]
    Just a little green
    Like the color when the spring is born
    There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
    Just a little green
    Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
    There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
    And sometimes there'll be sorrow

    Child with a child pretending
    Weary of lies you are sending home
    So you sign all the papers in the family name
    You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed
    Little green, have a happy ending

    [Chorus]
    Just a little green
    Like the color when the spring is born
    There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
    Just a little green
    Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
    There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
    And sometimes there'll be sorrow
