Subject: Don't be Denied (I love this song)

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
Your daddy's leavin' home today,
I think he's gone to stay.
We packed up all our bags
And drove out to Winnipeg

When we got to Winnipeg
I checked into school,
I wore white bucks on my feet,
When I learned the golden rule
The punches came fast and hard,
Lyin' on my back in the schoolyard.

Don't be denied, don't be denied,
Don't be denied, don't be denied,
Don't be denied, don't be denied

Well, pretty soon I met a friend,
He played guitar,
We used to sit on the steps at school
And dream of bein' stars
We started a band,
We played all night.

*Oh, Canada,
*We played all night,
*I really hate to leave you now,
*But to stay just wouldn't be right.
*Down in Hollywood
*We played so good.

Don't be denied, don't be denied,
Don't be denied, don't be denied,
Don't be denied, don't be denied

The businessmen crowded around,
They came to hear the golden sound
There we were on the Sunset Strip
Playin' our songs for the highest bid.
We played all night,
The price was right.

Don't be denied, don't be denied,
Don't be denied, don't be denied,
Don't be denied, don't be denied

Well, all the glitters isn't gold,
I know you heard the story told,
And I'm a pauper in a naked disguise,
A millionaire through a businessman's eyes
Oh, friend of mine
Don't be denied.

Don't be denied, don't be denied,
Don't be denied, don't be denied,
Don't be denied, don't be denied



* indicates alt. lyrics this verse was added ocasionally during the TFA tour.
i believe that this verse is on the boot Time Fades Away from Bakersfield, CA
in late March 1973. The verses were also added at Toronto 1-15-73 (my b-day)
and others including shows during 1983. This is just some stupid FYI.
Maybe you'll find it of some interest.
