Way Back In The 1960's Lyrics - Incredible String Band

I was a young man back in the 1960's 

Yes, you made your own amusements then 

For going to the pictures 

Well, the travel was hard and I mean 

We still used the wheel 

But you could sit down at your table 

And eat a real food meal 

But hey, you young people 

Well, I just do not know 

And I can't even understand you 

When you try to talk slow 

There was one fellow singing in those days 

And he was quite good, and I mean to say that 

His name was Bob Dylan, and I used to do gigs too 

Before I made my first million 

That was way, way back before 

Before the wild World War Three 

When England went missing 

And we moved to Paraguayee 

But hey, you young people 

Well, I just do not know 

And I can't even understand you 

When you try to talk slow 

Well, I got a secret, and don't give us away 

I got some real food tins for my 91st birthday 

And your grandmother bought them 

Way down in the new antique food store 

And for beans and for bacon, I will open up my door 

But hey, you young people 

Well, I just do not know 

And I can't even understand you 

When you try to talk slow 

Well, I was a young man back in the 1960's
