A eulogistic folk song about the '60s folk singer and author of the novel "Been Down so Long It Looks Like Up to Me".

(chorus)
Richard Farina is gone
There's not too much to say
Learn from what he saw
And fear not your own grave.

rought fun to the world
His artwork was the life he lived
With freedom and enthusiasm. (chorus)

He left behind his book and songs
He left behind his love
His spirit still lives in memories
Although he died so young. (chorus)
