Bobby Womack - Harry Hippie Lyrics
Everybody claims that they want the best things outta life
Ha, but not everyone, not everyone wanna got through the toils and strifes
Like this particular fellah, walks around all day long singin' this song
Sha na lah dah dah lah dah dah dah dah
Harry 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
Oh, 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
Walks around all day long singin' this song
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh yeah
Mary Hippie, she's Harry's lady
Panhandles money just to feed Harry's baby
She can lie down a story so incredible
Man, you wanna 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 ya, Harry
If you wanna sleep on the ground.
Sorry Harry, 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
Street 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
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 Harry, think I'm gonna put you down
Sha dah dah dah sha dah dah dah dah
Sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah
Everybody help me sing this song, oh yeah

Bobby Womack Harry Hippie Comments
2020 I'm here
Saw him perform a few years ago at New Orleans Jazzfest..It was beautiful.
This song reminds me of weight distribution. EMERGING through the Fire . Getting UP sequencing your worlds spite of the pain. FINDING CURES
2020 right now Prophet speaks...not me? Bobby Womack
For all the pothead wannabes.
Marijuana wasn't that great then, and it's all out useless now.
IT's bad when people would rather buy pot than eat.
The rich always got rich off the War On Drugs, and legal marijuana keeps putting money in their pocket.
Not yours.
Daddy I love and miss you
so much, I remember you
introducng me to Mr. Bobby Womack
when I was just an innocent lil girl
at the tender age of 6yrs old, when
you would take my brother and I
for rides through the city on
nice summer night's just joy riding.
I will always treasure those days
with you and Mr. Bobby Womack
Rip Mr. Womack Harry hippy is
one of my all time favorites.
Still listening to this beautiful song in 2020.
The best storyteller! #love
Sam Cooke's understudy! Great voice and definitely legendary
Thankfully I got to see Bobby live in Manchester before his passing, sadly missed but never forgotten

Still listening in 2020❤
I can see where R.Kelly came from
This about his brother who died in 1974 after he was shot by a girlfriend
This song use to depress the hell out of me, now that I’m a grown man. I can really understand it, and I love it. This is for grown folks
Makes me think about my Grandpa
Best verse in the song, " When old man winter gets his horn and starts blowing".
Great and sad nod to the homeless Harry and Harrietts in the U.S.! They are crackheads, meth addicts, alcoholics, white, black, etc. This song makes anyone that hears it sad and filled with love for the strangers we see wandering the streets, no home, lost souls on the map of mankind!
My dad use to play this somg in his car with the 5th wheel in the back miss them.days
Bobby Womack is the man old School music is the best!!!

VBW, I LISTENED! Is this YOU AND I? 😍
Still listening in 2020. Never will go out, this song Harry Hippie is Hall of Fame.
Bobby sings the blues
makes you wanna cry
unadulterated bliss
RIP. OG. BW. LUV. UNK😥😥😥😥😥
That's all I see in today's time a lot of Harry hippies so many people not trying to get on their feet not trying to find a job and the sad part is the young people are able to work able to go make a living but they think begging is a Better Living you can't
help anyone when they want to sleep on the ground same people you been helping for years it's not money what they need they need Jesus they need to be delivered out of that oppression out of that bondage and out of that reprobated mind set that they are in I tell them now Silver and Gold Have I None but such as I have I give unto thee. The word of God is better than anything you can give when you know that they're not trying to pick themselves up I know sometimes people do need help but we got a lot of people in our neighborhood that we see everyday that not trying to help themselves can't continue to cast your pearls before the swine.... This is basically what the song is talking about........
This song will never go out of style. Miss you Bobby.
R.i.p. pop.....this was my dad favorite singer
2020 still one of my favorites😊

Darn Bobby ! You got me he like to help a man when he down! I'm 52 yrs old and it ain't bad at all .
BOBBY'S music always told a story. I still play HARRY HIPPIE, that song went deep into my SOUL. I could feel the sadness in his voice, I actually believe it was a personal experience Bobby went through he did have a brother named HARRY??......70s.BEST MUSIC!!❤❤ GREAT..GREAT SONG!!
Buried my father to this track, a top top top tune sung by a another brother who's sadly missed xxx
Great Music is ALWAYS great!!!!
This is my shit.
This song reminds me of a simpler time in my life where everything was right. Me my mom and dad use to go over to my Papa's house. And I remember we all use to hang out and my papa always played blues songs like this. I was really young still Iam but looking back I wouldn't have thought that.Just listen to these kind of songs brings back so many memories. It's crazy how life goes by so fast.

Im a white man who grow up in the inner city listening to this music.. ✌️ to all my brothers, love don't have no color....
Oooooh! He might even sell free press on Sunset! Sang it Bobby!!
I got the chance to see Bobby Womack perform @ the Venue Theater in Hammond, Indiana before he went home to be with the Lord. Bobby Womack was a musical genius, I'm a longtime admirer of him and his musical works. I use to play this tune a lot back in the 1970's, it reminds me of my first cousin Andre who was like Harry Hippie. My cousin Andre was a veteran of the United States Army, he drowned in Lake Michigan in Chicago in 1995. RIP Bobby Womack 😇💞 RIP Andre 😇💞
I can still hearing my dad singing this. Breaks my heart everytime 😔😔😔
Mary Hippie was a strong sista
My Dad's friends called him Harry.He always helped people wether he was living on the street or under a freeway.He treated people as people.Miss you Dad until we meet again.
I love this song. Reminds me of brother that I love so dearly
This was back when people actually had to have talent to get on a record, unlike today. Just lucky to grow up as a kid during this time(late 60's thru late 70's).
This song is really deep. I love all of Bobby Womack:s music. I was raised up listening to it back in the day.
How many people's father was harry hippie?
My dad favorite song here 💗 love you Pop rip
harry hipie!
I do,old school still sounds good to me. All old school still in my house
Wonderfully intuitive and ever so hip feeling guitar on this my late brother.
I remember way back in early 80’s I was a young troubled girl. I ran away across the country. I met Bobby Womack in LA. My older sister played his music day n night. The moment I saw him I knew exactly who he was. I told him we needed to get to a phone ... no cell phones at that time. I know he thought I was crazy, but I had to call my sister. He said he was on his way to his studio. I remember him punching a code to get in. Once inside he went around talking to everyone. Meanwhile I was looking for a pay phone. I saw one on the wall ( back then pay phones were everywhere) Anyway I called my sister and told her I was with Bobby Womack. I asked him to say hi to her. She starts singing all his songs in his ear. To this day my sister always smiles at that memory. He was a really cool dude.
I'm 28 I love this song blasting 2019 and on 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
No matter what you going through something like you're looking prayers up hope you can find your way through life
Help the homeless people
long live Harry.....this song is here to stay......2019
Sad story behind this masterpiece. Love the song though
#Heyyyy.....

when they made this song they was talking about my brother norman everything was cool before he joined the army and when he lost his best friend he lost it and the army sent him home and he haven't been the same so when i hear this song it makes me think about my brother norman. he was my hero growing up i wanted to be like him i use to follow him around everywhere he taught me everything i know but to see him like that, that shit hurt me i was riding and i saw him on the corner begging for money and i got out my car and said norman and he said how you know my name i said you don't remember me he said no but you look familiar i grab him and hug him and said it's me jeremy your baby brother and he cried and said he was hungry and he haven't seen me in 6 years i never knew he was out of the army i brought him home and cook for my brother and now he's doing good he have a good job and he is living in his own home and he thanked me for saving his life i told him you're my brother and i love you
One never knows what lifes gonna present you with...
To this day we have Harry Hippies so sad I PRAY they wake up
This was my Grandaddy song. Keeping Resting Grandaddy . I love you ❤️ 😊
Woe such a poet.......this so puts me in a state of sorrow over my older brother who 's death was a result of his life in the streets and drug abuse, at some point you have to save yourself .. such powerful lyrics to this day . NOw I have life pain to the melody, that's what great music IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This takes me back to the bad times in my life ! Thank God ! Thank God! He bought me over ! And watch over me!
