John HartfordAbout
As John would say before performing this song, it’s about two [pot] heads who wanted to smoke some, but it was OK [no law breaking, here] since neither one had any.
Back in the early 70s, carrying marijuana on your person was referred to as “holding”. It was important to understand who was holding...
Holding Lyrics
Now you asked was I holding
I said why no I'm not holding
I thought you were holding, it's true
So here you're not holding
You thought I was holding
My dear, what on Earth will we do
Now you know when I'm holding
There's no need you holding
And you know the same about me
And if you run out
Before I run out
You know you can get some from me
But if you ain't got none
And if I ain't got none
Let's go find some other head
Find out if they're holding
Get down and start rolling
And smoke what they're holding instead
