Recorded August 19th, 1980 at Hamilton Place, Hamilton, ONT. Harry would die 11 months later. My understanding is that this was his last recorded concert. Flowers are Red The little boy went first day of school He got some crayons and started to draw He put colors all over the paper For colors was what he saw And the teacher said.. What you doin’ young man I’m paintin’ flowers he said She said… It’s not the time for art young man And anyway flowers are green and red There’s a time for everything young man And a way it should be done You’ve got to show concern for everyone else For you’re not the only one And she said… Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green There’s no need to see flowers any other way Than they way they always have been seen But the little boy said… There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one Well the teacher said.. You’re sassy There’s ways that things should be And you’ll paint flowers the way they are So repeat after me….. And she said… Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green There’s no need to see flowers any other way Than they way they always have been seen But the little boy said… There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one The teacher put him in a corner She said.. It’s for your own good.. And you won’t come out ’til you get it right And are responding like you …
