Uma mulher que cantou Woodstock

Compôs e cantou Woodstock, mas não esteve lá.
Joni Mitchell, que estivera no Mississipi River Festival, um mês antes, tinha participações programadas na televisão e não foi a Woodstock.
David Crosby telefonou-lhe e o espírito da coisa passou através das linhas. Joni Mitchell captou-o!

A mesma canção pelos seus amigos Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSN&Y).

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him where are you going
And this he told me
I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
I'm going to try an' get my soul free

We are stardust 

We are golden 

And we've got to get ourselves 

Back to the garden 

Then can I walk beside you 

I have come here to lose the smog 

And I feel to be a cog in something turning 

Well maybe it is just the time of year 

Or maybe it's the time of man 

I don't know who I am 

But you know life is for learning 

We are stardust 

We are golden 

And we've got to get ourselves 

Back to the garden 

By the time we got to Woodstock 

We were half a million strong 

And everywhere there was song and celebration 

And I dreamed I saw the bombers 

Riding shotgun in the sky 

And they were turning into butterflies 

Above our nation 

We are stardust 

Billion year old carbon 

We are golden 

Caught in the devil's bargain 

And we've got to get ourselves 

Back to the garden
