Song Lyrics for Old-Timey Green Delight (1900)

I was strollin’ down the lane with a grin so wide
Pocket full o’ nothin’ but the day outside
Saw my buddy on the corner with a wink so sly
Said, I got somethin’ makes the whole town fly
He pulled a little paper with a twist so neat
Said, Take one puff and you’ll tap your feet
So I lit that leaf with the mornin’ breeze
And the world got soft as a summer sneeze

Oh, I’m puffin’ that green delight
Feelin’ easy, feelin’ right
Roll it loose or roll it tight
Singin’ la-dee-da in the pale moonlight
Green delight, green delight
Pass it ‘round, don’t hold too tight
If you feel your troubles takin’ flight
That’s the magic of the green delight

Now the fiddler down the river started tappin’ his toe
Said, What’s that smell? It’s a mighty fine glow
I said, Friend, don’t worry, come and pull up a chair
There’s enough good cheer floatin’ in the air
Soon the whole dang street was hummin’ a tune
Laughin’ at the clouds dancin’ ‘round the moon
And if you walked by, you’d hear folks say
Life feels lighter in the smoky haze

Oh, I’m puffin’ that green delight
Feelin’ easy, feelin’ right
Roll it loose or roll it tight
Singin’ la-dee-da in the pale moonlight
Green delight, green delight
Pass it ‘round, don’t hold too tight
If you feel your troubles takin’ flight
That’s the magic of the green delight

No high society, no fancy scene
Just a bunch o’ simple folks lovin’ the green
Tap your heel, let your worries go
There’s a little peace in every slow exhale you blow

Puffin’ that green delight
Feelin’ easy, feelin’ right
Keep that circle burnin’ bright
La-dee-da through the starry night
