Fools Are A Long Time Coming - Fred Neil

If you see a rainbow in your backyard

You better turn your head around the other way

There ain’t no gold on either side, baby

Only fools look there for gold anyway

Yeah mama, fools are a long time comin'

Yeah mama, fools are a long time comin'

If a man just has to give you somethin'

You better put your hands away behind your back

Ain’t hardly never seen nobody give away nothin'

Oh, without them wantin' somethin' back

Yeah mama, fools are a long time comin'

Yeah mama, fools are a long time comin'

If you think that you see the reflection

Of love in your own true love’s eye

Be well still running water

'Cause a looking glass just mught be tellin' you lies

Yeah mama, fools are a long time comin'

Yeah mama, fools are a long time comin'

Yeah mama, fools are a long time comin'
