A friend told me that this song is actually about a girl or a young woman painted white. Maybe. I guess the last verse is what makes it seem that way.
It's amazing that Don McLean has written so many thought-provoking songs like this that not many people know about. Many thanks to you emv710! This is such a great gift!
Just a great paean toward the all important BUCK! Don McLean is one in a million and like all of his sings, it is equally enlightening as entertaining, a veritable masterpiece from a musical genius!
I love this song. I had the record album, then I heard it on old tape that I had found in my car that only has a cassette tape player.. I could sing this song at karaoke for sure.
