This Song is covered by Little Green Bag performed by Tom Jones; features Barenaked Ladies
Sorry pot lovers, this song was cash, not your stash. According to some sources, the original title of this song was "Little Green Back" (a "green back" or "greenback" refers to paper money). In fact, the lyrics in this song don't include the word "bag" at all. The record label misprinted the title on the single when it was released, and the song forever after was known under this misnomer. Notice how all the other lyrics rhyme properly - kind/mind, day/way, find/behind, but then we have track/bag? Now compare the rhyming pattern if we use "back instead of "bag": "Lookin' BACK on the TRACK For a little green BACK Got to FIND just the KIND For losin' my MIND" "Lookin' back on the TRACK For a little green BAG" just doesn't work in the song. (Lyrics) Yeah Lookin' back on the track For a little green back Got to find just the kind for losin' my mind Outta sight in the night, outta sight in the day Lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way Outta sight in the night, outta sight in the day Lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way Look back Lookin' for some happiness but there is only loneliness to find Jump to the left, turn to the right Lookin' up stairs, lookin' behind
