Hayden Hippie [Harry Hippie by Bobby Womack Cover] Live

This song has such a powerful message. I love it. I had a friend that I used to sing it about. One of my friends requested that I upload it so, here you go.

Lyrics
Everybody claims that they want the best things
outta life,
But not everyone, not everyone
wanna got through the toils and strifes.


Like this particular fella I know walks around
all day long singin' this song

sha na lah dah dah lah dah dah dah dah



Hayden Hippie, lies asleep in the shade,

life don't bug him,
cause he thinks he's got it made.

He never worry about nothin' in particular

Oooh he might even sell free press on Sunset.


I'd like to help a man when he's down

but I can't help him much
when he's sleepin' on the ground.


He's like a bottle in water...
Hayden's just floatin through life


Walks around all day long singin' this song

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ohhh yeah



Hailey Hippie, she's Hayden's lady

Panhandles pennies just to feed Hayden's baby.

She can lie down a story,
Something so incredible

Man, you outta help her take the food
home and put it on the table.


I'd like to help a man when he's down,

but I can't help him
if you wanna sleep on the ground.

Sorry Hayden, Oh you're too much weight
to carry around.


But he still walks around all day singin' this song

Sha dah dah dah sha nah nah nah nah nah
nah sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah



Sweet child, street child,
tell me where
will you be goin'?

when old man winter gets his horn
and starts blowin'

Will you hang around LA

or hitch a ride on a freeway

Or meet an old familiar face in a new place.



I'd like to help a man when he's down

But how can I help him
if he's somewhere outta town


Sorry Hayden, think I'm gonna put you down.

Sha dah dah dah sha dah dah dah dah
sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah

Somebody help me sing this song, oh yeah,

wow

[KeatonMartel]

@escarface THANK YOU! :-)

[sinhielo]

This is one of my favorite Bobby Womack numbers. I especially like his live performance where his duet with one of his back up singers actually outshines his duet with Patty Labelle. You did a great job. Way to make it your own.

[Getrealpeeps]

GREAT VOICE!

[soulsetsmysoulonfire]

Lip syncing to your own voice?

good though.

[cprice85666]

Good

[iPrometheusQ]

you have a smooth good voice. But this interpretation lacks feeling and your timing is off sometimes. Would like to hear "A Change is Gonna Come" from you.

Hey Im having a contest for people who can cover songs so good to the point where you believ the song is their own

[ohhaaronohhaaron]
