Young, Neil - Old Laughing Lady Lyrics
Don't call pretty Peggy,
she can't hear you no more
Don't leave no message
'round her back door.
They say the old laughing lady
She don't keep time,
she don't count score.
You can't have a cupboard
if there ain't no wall.
You got to move there's
no time left to stall.
They say the old laughing lady
dropped by to call
And when she leaves,
See the drunkard of the village
falling on the street.
Can't tell his ankles
from the rest of his feet.
He loves his old laughing lady
'cause her taste is so sweet.
But his laughing lady's loving
ain't the kind he can keep.
There's a fever on the freeway,
blacks out the night.
There's a slipping on the stairway,
just don't feel right
And there's a rumbling
in the bedroom
and a flashing of light
There's the old laughing lady,
everything is all right.

Young, Neil Old Laughing Lady Comments
picture music
When those soul singers come in 🔥🔥
Oh yeah.
See the sky about to rain?
Well us old gits can at least be thankfull that we don't have to listen to the crap that the young are listening to. Thanks Neil.
Excellent song.
The girl singers just beautiful ! Great song from my favourite Neil young album .
Cant tell his ankle from the rest of his feet
Earl Palmer on drums. A one time member of the Wrecking Crew who played on dozens and dozens of songs and TV shows.
(TV. Remember that?).
Listen to the song again and just focus on the drums. Palmer, God Rest is Soul, is brilliant and creative.
The best track on the album. I bought the album in 1972.
Someone else's observation from 50 yrs. ago: "Well, I think, many of US are just trying to figure IT out." This album was a part of that. And tripping. And driving across country. And checking out a lot of "scenes". And some of us have survived and have made a good deal of progress but are still working on the problem.
Sampled in Slack Hands by Galliano. Check it out.
I am looking at the comments and most of them are recent which I think is awesome and unexpected
As recent as this?
neil so fucking groovy. who would have thunk it?
This song is just haunting and brilliant! ...and those background gospel vocals with that instrumental crescendo are superb! I would't expect less coming from a genius like Neil Young!
I heard this song so long ago..I thought it was out of a dream till I found it today by chance..
187 movie bright me here
i bought this album close to 50 years ago. this song is incredible.
Very underrated track and album.
awesome especially with the background vocals@Pepper Lloyd3
same here / still loves it
❤ je regrette pas d'avoir commander le vinyle, quand on aime neil young avoir le tout premier album solo s'impose dans sa collection 😊
lire aussi sa biographie. il y parle beaucoup ,entre autres , de l'enregistrement de ses premiers albums ,si mythiques
@Fabienne Le Louedec oui bien sur je lis surtout les discographie savoir qu'est ce qui a inspiré tel artiste à écrire tel morceau etc après j'écoute la musique et j'aime bien traduire les paroles mais lire une bio ce n'est pas la spiritualité de la musique 😊
killing it! the background vocalist, wow very spiritual.
neil, comes on like some lonely ole saddletramp.
Saddletramp
Blessings to you and your friend.
I listen to it every time I want to think about my bets friend Peter who passed in 1995 as a result of cancer. The old laughing lady took him............. Peter LOVED Neal Young......
C'est un titre magnifique dieu bénisse ton ami
Great song to mourn to...
