2000 Dead Lyrics Version 2.0 I though long and hard and decided that last date played as well as the authors should be included, copyrights be damned! The index was redone to reflect this postcript version and now has songs known by multiple names indexed by each name. Songs from Built to Last were changed to to match the version on the recording. This has most of the songs played by the Dead and/or Jerry up to the end of Summer Tour 1994. Fisrt time / last time dates are mostly from Deadbase IV and setlists from Terrapin Station. The dates to the left of the title of the songs are the first time played. The date to the right is the last time played. If it's a Jerry song and the Dead don't play it, it probably doesn't have a date. If it's a Jerry song and the dead DO play it, the date is the first time the Dead did it. The authors name is beneath the title when we could find it. Enjoy version 2.0 and just keep truckin' on! "...if you get confused, listen to the music play." Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed typing it! Peace, Ed, Jon, Kathy, Sean, Karin, Ron, Adam, Mark, Julie, Tony and many others along the way. 12/28/84 100,000 Tons of Steel 9/23/87 (Brent Mydland) I know these rails we're on like I know my lady's smile, We see a dozen dreams in every passing mile. Can't begin to count the trips she and I have made, But I wish I had a dollar for each time we've both been down this grade. 100,000 tons of steel, made to roll. The brakes don't work and this grade's too steep, her engine's sure to blow. And 100,000 tons of steel, out of control, She's more a rollercoaster than the train I used to know. It's one hell of an understatement, to say she can't be beat. She's tempermental, more a bitch than a machine. She wasn't built to travel at speed or through mud slides. These wheels are bound to jump the tracks before they burn like the ties 100,000 tons of steel, made to roll. The brakes don't work and this grade's too steep, her engine's sure to blow 100,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a rollercoaster than the train I used to know. Murphy sure out done himself to pick this stretch of track I can only hope my luck is ridin' in the back. Well I have pray to God this ain't the day we meet, I've done about everything, but try dragging my feet. 100,000 tons of steel, made to roll. The brakes don't work and this grade's too steep, her engine's sure to blow 100,000 tons of steel, out of control, She's more a rollercoaster than the train I used to know. Oh, oh I want to go down slow. 5/15/77 Aiko Aiko 7/26/94 (Traditional) My spy boy saw you spy boy sittin' by the fi-yo My spy boy told your spy boy, "I'm gonna set you flag on fi-yo."

My grandma and your grandma were sitting by the fire Said my grandma to your grandma, "Gonna get your tail on fire." I said, "Hey now," "Hey now," "Hey now," "Hey now" Aiko Aiko all day, jockomo feno na na nay, jockomo feena nay. 10/9/68 Ain't It Crazy / The Rub 12/1/71 (Sam "Lightnin" Hopkins) Man got the rub on, sister got the rub They're goin' around doing the rub, the rub Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy Ain't it crazy one day keep on rubbin' that thing.

Well I ain't superstitious, but a black cat crossed my trail, Don't brush me with my broom, Babe, I just might land in jail. Well my right hand itchin', Babe, I get smothered by the shore, Look down you engine, Babe, but somebody got to go. Meet me on the bottom, Babe, bring me my running shoes, When I come out the window, Babe, we ain't got time to lose. Well I hope you are listening, when I come streaking by, Got a bad old man, Babe, and I'm too young to die. Well I ain't superstitious, but a black cat crossed my trail, Don't brush me with my broom, Babe, I just might land in jail. Dogs been barking all around my neighborhood, You give a sign, Babe, ain't do nobody no good. 11/4/79 Alabama Getaway 6/18/89 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) 32 teeth in a jawbone, Alabama trying for none, Before I have to hit him, I hope he's got the sense to run. Reason the poor girls love him, promise them everything, Why they all believe him? He wears a big diamond ring. Alabama getaway, getaway. Alabama getaway, getaway, Only way to please me, ya just gotta leave and walk away. Major Domo Billy Bojangles, sit down and have a drink with me, "What's this about Alabama? It keeps a coming back to me. Heard your plea in the courthouse, Witness box began to rock and rise, 49 sister states all had Alabama in there eyes. Alabama getaway, getaway. Alabama getaway, getaway, Only way to please me, ya just gotta leave and walk away. Major said why don't we give him rope enough to hang himself? No need to worry the jury, this kind takes care of themselves. 23rd psalm Major Domo, reserve me a table for three, Down in the valley of the shadow, just you, Alabama, and me. Alabama getaway, getaway. Alabama getaway, getaway, Only way to please me, ya just gotta leave and walk away. 6/20/87 All Along The Watchtower 8/1/94 (Bob Dylan) There must be some way out of here said the joker to the thief. There's to much confusion, I can't get no relief. Businessmen they drink my wine. Plowmen dig my earth. None of them along the line knows what any of it is worth. No reason to get excited, the thief he kindly spoke. There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. But you and I have been through that and this is not our fate. So let us not talk falsely know the hour is getting late. All along the watchtower princes kept the view. While all the women came and went, their footservents too Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl. Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl. 12/1/66 All New Minglewood Blues 7/23/94 (Noah Lewis) I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den Oh, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men Well, I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good. Said, I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good. Well, the sheriff couldn't catch me, But his little girl sure wish she could. Well now the doctor call me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't, Said now the doctor call me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't, Yes, and the preacher man call me sinner But his little girl call me saint. Well a couple shots of whiskey women `round here start looking good, I said a couple shots of whiskey women `round here start looking good, A couple more shots of whiskey, I'm going down to Minglewood. Said, I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den Said, I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den Yes and my number one occupation is stealing women from their men I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den Oh, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men 1/27/67 Alligator 4/29/71 (Robert Hunter) Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun, Lyin' by 2000 the river just like he usually done. Call for his whiskey, he can call for his tea, Call all he want to, but he can't call me. Oh, no! I've been there before, And I ain't gonna come around here any more. Creepy alligator coming all around the bend, Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends, I checked my memory and I checked it quick, yes I will. I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick. Oh, no! Well I've been there before, And I ain't gonna come around here any more. Sailin' down the river in an old canoe, A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe. Out of the river all ugly and green, Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen! Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out, Contracted the union, put the beggars to rout. Screamin' and yellin', he was pickin' his chops, He never runs he just stumbles and hops. Just out of prison on ten dollars bail, Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail. 8/4/79 Althea 7/29/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) I told Althea I was feeling lost, lacking in some direction. Althea told me upon scrutiny that my back might need protection. I told Althea that treachery was tearing me limb from limb. Althea told me better cool down boy, settle back, easy Jim. You may be Saturday's child, all alone, moving with a tinge of grace. You may be a clown in the burying ground, or just another pretty face. You may meet the fate on Ophelia, sleeping and penchence to dream. Honest to the point of recklessness, self-centered in the extreme. Ain't nobody messing with you, but you, your friends are getting most concerned. Loose with the truth, baby, it's your fire, but baby don't get burned. When the smoke has cleared, she said, that's what she said to me. Gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy. There are things you can replace, and others you cannot. The time has come to weigh those things. This space is getting hot, you know this space is getting hot. I told Althea I'm a roving son, and I was born to be a bachelor. Althea told me, okay, that's fine, so now I'm trying to catch her. Can't talk to you without talking to me, we're guilty of the same old thing. Been talking alot about less and less and forgetting the love we bring. 11/1/68 And We Bid You Goodnight 9/26/91 (Traditional) Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest, Won't you lay your head upon your savior's chest, I love you all, but Jesus loves you the best And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight. Walking in Jerusalem just like John (goodnight, goodnight) I would never ride, well, I would never ride (goodnight, goodnight) But His rod and His staff, they comfort me (goodnight, goodnight) Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat (goodnight, goodnight) Tell "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood (goodnight, goodnight) You know it ate all the children when they wouldn't be good, Walking in Jerusalem just like John (goodnight, goodnight) I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death, And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight. 11/8/70 Around and Around 7/27/94 (Chuck Berry) Well the joint was jumpin', going 'round and 'round, Hey! realin' and a rockin', what a crazy sound, Well they never stopped rockin' till the moon went down. Well it sounds so sweet I had to take me a chance, I rose out of me seat Lord, I had to dance, Started moving my feet, well a clapping my hands. Well I kept on dancin', going 'round and 'round, Hey! realin' and a rockin', what a crazy sound, Well they never stopped rockin' till the moon went down. Well at twelve o'clock Lord, the place was packed, The front doors was locked Lord, the place was packed, When the police knocked, those doors they flew back. Well I kept on dancin', going 'round and 'round, Hey! realin' and a rockin', what a crazy sound, Well they never stopped rockin' till the moon went down. 5/15/70 Attics of My Life 7/26/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) In the attics of my life, full of cloudy dreams unreal. Full of tastes no tongue can know, and lights no eyes can see. When there was no ear to hear, you sang to me. I have spent my life seeking all that's still unsung. Bent my ear to hear the tune, and closed my eyes to see. When there was no strings to play, you played to me. In the book of love's own dream, where all the print is blood. Where all the pages are my days, and all the lights grow old. When I had no wings to fly, you flew to me, you flew to me. In the secret space of dreams, where I dreaming lay amazed. When the secrets all are told, and the petals all unfold. When there was no dream of mine, you dreamed of me. 5/19/92 Baba O'Riley 5/21/93 (Pete Townshend) Out here in the fields I fight for my meals I get my back into my living I don't need to fight To prove I'm right I don't need to be forgiven Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland Sally ,take my hand Travel south crossland Put out the fire Don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here The happy ones are near Let's get together Before we get much older Teenage wasteland It's only teenage wasteland Teenage wasteland Oh, oh Teenage wasteland They're all wasted! 9/25/80 Babe, It Ain't No Lie 3/28/84 (Elizabeth Cotten) Been all around this whole round world, Lord, I just got back to day. Worked all the way honey and I gave it all to you Honeybabe, what more can I do? Oh babe, it ain't no lie. Oh babe, it ain't no lie. Oh babe, it ain't no lie. You know this life I'm living is mighty high. One more woman, Lord in this town. Keep her telling her lies on me. Wish to my soul that old woman would die. Keep her telling her lies on me. 12/31/82 Baby, What Do You Want Me To Do 11/8/85 (Jimmy Reed) You got me running, you got me hiding, You got me running, hiding, hiding, running, Anywhere you want it, let it roll, yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey, you got me where you want me, baby doing what you want me to do. Going up, going down, going up, down, down, up, Anyway you want it, let it roll, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, you got me where you want me, baby doing what you want me to do.

Oh baby, honey what is wrong with you? You don't treat your baby, treat me like you used to do. 7/4/87 Ballad Of A Thin Man 4/1/88 (Bob Dylan) You walk into the room With your pencil in your hand You see somebody naked And you say, "Who is that man?" You try so hard But you don't understand Just what you'll say When you get home Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones You raise up your head And you ask, "Is this where it is?" And somebody points to you and says "It's his" And you say, "What's mine?" And somebody else says, "Where what is?" And you say, "Oh my God Am I here all alone?" Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones You hand in your ticket And you go watch the geek Who immediately walks up to you When he hears you speak And says, "How does it feel To be such a freak?" And you say, "Impossible" As he hands you a bone Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones You have many contacts Among the lumberjacks To get you facts When somebody attacks your imagination But nobody has any respect Anyway they already expect you To just give a check To tax-deductible charity organizations You've been with the professors And they've all liked your looks With great lawyers you have Discussed lepers and crooks You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books You're very well read It's well known Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you And the 2000 n he kneels He crosses himself And then he clicks his high heels And without further notice He asks you how it feels And he says, "Here is your throat back Thanks for the loan" Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones Now you see this one-eyed midget Shouting the word "NOW" And you say, "For what reason?" And he says, "How?" And you say, "What does this mean?" And he screams back, "You're a cow Give me some milk Or else go home" Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones Well, you walk into the room Like a camel and then you frown You put your eyes in your pocket And your nose to the ground There ought to be a law Against you comin' around You should be made To wear earphones Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones 5/15/70 Ballad of Casey Jones 8/5/70 (Traditional) Casey Jones was an old engineer, Call for his family tonight, they will fear, All I need is my water and coal, Look out the windows, see my drag wheel roll. One sunday morning in a driving rain, Around the curve came a passenger train, In the cabin stood Casey Jones, Bold engineer but he's dead and gone. Mrs. Casey when she heard the news Sitting at her bedside she was lacing up her shoes Children, children now catch your breath, You will draw a pension if your Papa's dead. Children, children now can you hear, Tell me Mama what do you mean by that? Get your hat, put it on your head, Go to town, see your Daddy's dead, Casey said just before he died, Fix the blinds so that the bums can ride, If they ride, let them ride rock, Put their trust in the hands of God. Casey said just before he died, Two more roads that I want to ride. People said, what roads, Casey, can they be? Gold Colorado and the Santa Fe. Bear Tracks High on the mountain tell me what do you see, Bland shacks and railroad tracks looking back at me, Better take Chicago Forest to the plain, There's a Colorado River running through the green, You been hanging around this world far too long, Lord, at night for countless hours certainly are gone, Never been an outlaw, never been this free, Except for tales of Colorado spring, Take up my money, thought I'd be free, Saw that man a commin' thought they were that free, Chopped down that tree and my worries were all gone, All of a sudden bullets were ringing through that home, You been hanging around this world for far too long, Hanging around the mountain home, back in half an hour, Way back in the swamp, boys way back in the trees, Colorado payroll in the Colorado spring, You hear them coming, the voices of love, You must come courting through this world or go, Texas in the dell, running in the well, You know all you can do is raise hell, Stick around this world for far too long, Back in half an hour with the... Way back in the swamps, way back in the trees, Never been this free in the Colorado spring, As sun come up as alive as I can be. 3/19/66 Beat it on Down The Line 7/20/94 (Jesse Fuller) Well this job I've got is just a little too hard, Running out of money, Lord, I need more pay. Gonna wake up in the morning Lord, gonna pack my bags, I'm gonna beat it on down the line. I'm goin' down the line, goin down the line, Goin' down the line, goin down the line, Goin' down the line, goin down the line, Beat it on down the line. Yes I'll be waiting at the station Lord, when that train pulls on by, I'm going back where I belong. I'm going back to that same old used-to-be, Down in Joe Brown's coal mine. Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine, coal mine. Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine, coal mine. Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine, coal mine. Down in Joe Brown's coal mine. Yeah, I'm goin' back to that shack way across that railroad track, Uh huh, that's where I think I belong. I got a sweet woman Lord, she's waitin' there for me, And that's where I'm gonna make my happy home. Happy home, happy home, happy home, happy home. Happy home, happy home, happy home, happy home. Happy home, happy home, happy home, happy home. That's where I'm gonna make my happy home. 6/23/88 Believe It Or Not 3/22/90 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) One or two moments a piece of your time is all I am asking and I'll give you mine One or two moments out of all you have got to show how I love you believe it or not Remember the day I rolled into town with my heart in my shoes, my head hanging down? Now my only trouble the rest I forgot is to show how I love you believe it or not Done time in the lockup Done time in the street Done time on the upswing and time in defeat I know what I'm asking and I know it's a lot when I say that I love you believe it or not I know I'm no angel my prospects are high as the flood line in summer when the river's gone dry but I'll roll up my shirt-sleeves and make my best shot to show how I love you believe it or not Right now while the sun shines on the crest of the hill with a breeze in the pines and a gray whippoorwill making music together in a land time forgot let me show how I love you believe it or not 2/18/71 Bertha 7/29/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) I had a hard run, runnin' from your window. I was all night running, running, Lord I wonder if you care, I had a run in, run around, and run down. Run around the corner, corner, Lord run smack in to a tree. I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore. Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea. Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines. I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin', fallin', I turned around to see, Heard a voice al callin', Lord you was commin' after me. I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore. Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into Novato. It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me. Test me, test me, Test me, test me, test me, Why don't you arrest me? Throw me in to the jailhouse, Lord until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down. I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore. I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore. 7/3/66 Big Boss Man 7/16/90 (Al Smith, Luther Dixon) Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? You ain't so big, you just tall, that's just about all. You got me working boss man, a workin' around the clock, I want a little drink of whiskey, you sure won't let me stop. Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? You ain't so big, you just tall, that's just about all. I'm gonna get me a boss man, one gonna treat me right, I work hard in the daytime, sure get drunk at night. Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? You ain't so big, you just tall, that's just about all. 11/29/66 Big Boy Pete 11/21/85 (Don Harris, Dewey Terry) The joint was jumping on the corner down on Honky Tonk Street, All of a sudden up pulled a Cadillac and out stepped a can named Pete. A diamond on every finger, he wore he wore a tailor made suit, Black cigar, he wore a Stetson hat, He wore a pair on cowboy boots, Busted on through the door mad as he could be, Don't mess around, I'll cut you down 'cause my name is Big Boy Pete. The music stopped, there wasn't a sound, Up in the corner stood Bad Man Brown. He smiled and grinned, he said you know my friend, Take two steps further I'm going kick you in the hide, Forty-Five keep it alive, seven bullets on my side. Brown pulled a knife, jumped on Pete, Fought from the counter right on out to the street. They swung from the north, swung from the south, Pete got 2000 the blackjack out. Brown went out his mind, yes he did, now we deeply see, If you're ever down on the corner, down on Honky Tonk Street, Don't mess around he'll cut you down, Take a lesson from Big Boy Pete. 6/24/70 Big Railroad Blues 6/8/94 (Noah Lewis) Well my mama told me, my papa told me too, Now my mama told me, papa told me too, Well I shouldn't be here tryin' to sing these railroad blues. Wish I had a'listened to what my mama said, Wish I had a'listened to what my mama said, Well I wouldn't be here tryin' to sleep in this cold iron bed. Well I went to the depot, I never got there on time, Went down to the depot, never got there on time. Well my train done left, she's a rollin' down the line. Mister jailer go away now, don't tell me no lies, Mister jailer go away, don't tell me no lies, When the train's going down, she's rollin' down the line. Well my mama told me, my papa told me too, Now my mama told me, papa told me too, Well I shouldn't be here tryin' to sing these railroad blues. 12/31/71 Big River 7/31/94 (Johnny Cash) Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry, Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river, And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die. I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota, She tore me up everything I heard her drawl, that southern drawl. Well I heard my dream went back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport, And I follow you big river when you called. Well I followed her down to St. Louie, later on down the river, Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone. Well I followed her down to Memphis, but she just walked off the bus, She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone. Well I've gotten on down to Baton Rouge, River Queen roll on, Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans. I give up, I've had enough, followed my blues on down to the gulf, She loves you big river more than me. 2/19/71 Bird Song ( for Janis ) 8/3/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) All I know is something like a bird within her sang, All I know she and a little while and then flew on, Tell me all that you know, I'll show you snow and rain. If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why? Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passin' by, Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark, fly through the night. Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore. Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind. All I know is something like a bird within her sang, All I know she and a little while and then flew off, Tell me all that you know, I'll show you snow and rain. 12/15/86 Black Muddy River 8/13/91 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) When the last rose of summer pricks my finger, And the hot sun chills me to the bone, When I can't hear the song for the singer, And I can't tell my pillow from a stone, I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And sing me a song of my own, I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And sing me a song of my own. When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain, And the stars start to splatter in the sky, When the moon hits the southwest horizon, With the scream of an eagle on the fly, I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And listen to the ripples as they moan, I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And sing me a song of my own. Black muddy river, roll on forever, I don't care how deep or wide, if you've got another side, Roll muddy river, roll muddy river, black muddy river, roll. When it seems like the night will last forever, And there's nothing left to do but count the years, When the strings of my heart begin to sever, And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears, I will walk alone, by the black muddy river, And dream me a dream of my own, I will walk alone, by the black muddy river, And sing me a song of my own, sing me a song of my own. 12/4/69 Black Peter 7/31/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) All of my friends come to see me last night, I was laying in my bed and dying. Annie Bonneau from St. Angel say the weather down there so fine. Just then the wind came squalling through the dark, But who can the weather command? Just want to have a little peace to die, And a friend or two I love at hand. Fever roll up to a hundred and five. Roll on up, gonna roll back down. One more day I find myself alive, Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground. See here how everything led up to this day, And it's just like any other day that's ever been. Sun going up and then the sun going down. Shine through my window and my friends they come around, Come around, come around. The people might know, but the people don't care, That a man can be as poor as me. Take a look at poor Peter, he's lying in pain, Now let's come run and see, run and see, Run and see, run, run and see, and see. 3/5/72 Black Throated Wind 7/27/94 (Bob Weir, John Perry Barlow) You're bringing me down, I'm running aground, Blind in the lights of the interstate cars, Passing me by, the busses and the semis, Plunging like stones from a slingshot on mars. But I'm here by the road, bound to the load, That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars. Alone with the rush of the drivers that won't pick me up, The highway, the moon, and clouds and the stars. Black throated wind, keeps on pourin' in, With it's words of a life where nothing is new, Ah, mother American night, I pass from the light, Ah, I'm drownin' in you. I left St. Louie, city of blues, In the midst of a storm that I'd rather forget. I tried to pretend it came to an end, Cause you weren't the women I once thought I'd met. But I can't deny, times have gone by, Well I never had doubts or thoughts of regret, And I was a man when all this began, Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet. Black throated wind, whisper in sin, And speaking on life that passes like dew. It's forced me to see you've done better by me, Better by me that I've done by you. Now what's to be found by racing around, you carry your flame wherever you go, Full of the blues, and tryin' to lose, You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know. So I give you my eyes and all of their lies, Please help them to learn as well as to see. Capture a glance, and make 'em dance, But looking at you is looking at me. Black throated wind, keeps on pourin' in, With it's words of a life that could almost be true, Ah, mother American night, here comes a light. I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do. Going back home that's what I'm gonna do. I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do. Going back home that's what I'm gonna do. Cause you've done better by me than I've done by you, I'm drowning in you. 6/23/89 Blackbird 7/17/88 (John Lennon, Paul McCartney) Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly, All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these sunken eyes and learn to see, All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free. Blackbird fly, blackbird fly, into the light of the dark black night Blackbird fly, blackbird fly, into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly, All yout life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise. You were only waiting for this moment to arise, You were only waiting for this moment to arise. 6/20/88 Blow Away 7/16/90 (Brent Mydland, John Barlow) A man and a woman come together as strangers. When they part they're usually strangers still. It's like a practical joke played on us by our Maker. Empty bottles that can't be filled. (Chorus): Baby, who's to say it coulda' been different Now that it's done. Baby, who's to say... Baby, who's to say that it shoulda' been anyway. Baby, who's to say... Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run. Baby, who's 2000 to say. Give it just a minute. And it'll blow away. It'll blow away. You fancy me to be the Master of your feelings. You barely bruise me with your looks to kill. Though I admit we were sometimes brutal in our dealings, I never held you against your will. (Chorus): Your case against me is so very clean stated. I plead no contest, I just turn and shrug. I've come to figure all importance overestimated. You must mean water when you get on your knees and beg for blood. (Chorus): Like a feather in the whirlwind, Just as surely as the world spins. It'll blow away, Ohhh, It'll blow. Give it just a minute, Give it just a minute now, it'll blow away... 3/23/75 Blues For Allah 8/13/75 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Arabian wind, The needle's eye is thin, The ships of state sail on mirage, And drown in sand, Out in no-man's land where Allah does command. What good is spilling blood? It will not grow a thing; Taste eternity the swords sing: Blues of Allah In 'sh'Allah. They lie where they fall, There's nothing more to say, The desert stars are bright tonight lets meet as friends, The Flower of Islam, The Fruit of Abraham. The thousand stories have come round to one again, Arabian night, Our Gods pursue their fight, What fatal flowers of darkness bloom from seeds of light. Bird of paradise fly in white sky, Blues for Allah In 'sh'Allah, Let's see with our heart, These things our eyes have seen, And know the truth must still lie somewhere in between. Under eternity, under eternity, under eternity blue, Bird of paradise fly in white sky, Blues for Allah In 'sh'Allah. 3/25/72 Bo Diddley 2/11/86 (Bo Diddley = Ellis McDaniels) Hey, Bo Diddley dee. Hey, Bo Diddley dee. Hey, Bo Diddley dee. Hey, Bo Diddley dee. Bondi Pier I was down by Bondi Pier, drinkin' tubes of ice cold beer, With a bucket full of prawns upon my knee, When I swallowed the last prawn, I had a technicolor yawn and I chundered in the old Pacific Sea. Drink it up, drink it up, crack another dozen tubes and prawns with me, If you want to throw your voice, mate you won't have any choice, But to chunder in the Old Pacific Sea. I was sittin in the surf, when a mate of mine called Murf, Asks if he can crack a tube or two with me. The bastard barely swallowed it, When he went for the big split, and he chundered in the Old Pacific Sea. Drink it up, drink it up, crack another dozen tubes and prawns with me, If you want to throw your voice, mate you won't have any choice, But to chunder in the Old Pacific Sea. I've had liquid laughs in cars, and I've hurled from moving cars, And I've chuckled when and where it suited me. But if I could choose the spot, To regurgitate me lot, then I'd chunder in the Old Pacific Sea. Drink it up, drink it up, crack another dozen tubes and prawns with me, If you want to throw your voice, mate you won't have any choice, But to chunder in the Old Pacific Sea. 1/20/68 Born Cross-Eyed 4/3/68 (Bob Weir) Seems like I've been here before, Fuzzy then and still so obscure, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. And I don't want to see anybody cry, Meet me some mornin' in the sweet by and by, by and by, by and by. Song commin' on, So pleasin' to see, come and gone, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, You don't have to tell me why, Meet me some mornin' in the sweet by and by, by and by, by and by. It ain't cause I'm the only one left darlin', Bout the time the sun rises west, Feelin' groovy, lookin' fine. Think I'll come back here again, Every now and then from time to time. My how lovely you are, my dear, The ball game has gone much too far my dear, Sing to me, do your thing to me, I'll meet you some mornin', meet you some mornin', In the sweet by and by, by and by, by and by. 10/9/72 Box of Rain 8/4/94 (Phil Lesh, Robert Hunter) Look out of any window, any morning, any evening, any day. Maybe the sun is shining, birds are singing, No rain is falling from a heavy sky. What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through? For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago. Walk out of any doorway, feel your way, feel your way like the day before. Maybe you'll find direction, Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you. What do you want me to do, to watch for you while you are sleeping? The please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too. Look into any eyes you find by you, you can see clear to another day, Maybe been seen before, through other eyes on other days while going home. What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through? It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago. Walk into splintered sunlight, Inch your way through dead dreams to another land. Maybe you're tired and broken, Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through? A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through. Just a box of rain, wind and water, Believe it if you need in, if you don't just pass it on. Sun and shower, wind and rain, In and out the window like a moth before a flame. And it's just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there, Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare. And it's just a box of rain, or a ribbon for tour hair; Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there. Boys in the Barroom (Robert Hunter) Does God look down on the boys in the barroom, Mainly forsaken but surely not judged. Jacks, kings, and aces, their faces in wine, Do lord deliver our kind. From singing for whiskey three strings on the fiddle, Four on the guitar and a song that I love. Many's the night we spent picking and singing, In hopes it be pleasing both here and above. Jack's string fiddle to my sawtooth bow, Who loves lonlieness loves it alone. I love the dim lights like some love the dew, Only thing I wonder sometimes: Does God look down on the boys in the barroom, Mainly forsaken but surely not judged. Jacks, kings, and aces, their faces in wine, Do lord deliver our kind. Bring Me My Shotgun Oh bring me my shotgun, bring me back some shells, Why don't you just bring me my shotgun, Bring me back a pocket full of shells, Well you know if I don't get myself a little competition, You know there's gonna be some trouble 'round here. Well you know my mama told me, she said, You gonna have bad luck, son, don't care where you go, So why don't you bring me my shotgun. Early in the morning when the sun gonna rise, She lets her rolling go moonshine bright, In the morning bring me my shotgun, Well I can stand in the mist for a while, But I can't stand it for very long. 8/18/70 Brokedown Palace 8/4/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one. All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone. Going to leave this brokedown palace, On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll. Make myself a bed in the waterside, In my time, I will roll, roll roll. In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul. River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy, sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home. It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago. Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home. Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will rest my bones, Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul. Going to plant a weeping willow, On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow. Sing a lullaby beside the water, Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll. Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell, Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul. 2/23/93 Broken Arrow 7/19/94 (Robbie Robertson) Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain There you go, moving across the water There you go turning my whole world around. Do you feel what I f 2000 eel Can we make that so it's part of the deal I gotta hold you in these arms of steel Lay your heart on the line ... this time. I wanna breathe when you breathe When you whisper like that hot summer breeze Count the beads of sweat that cover me Didn't you show me a sign, this time. Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain There you go, moving across the water There you go turning my whole world around. Can you see what I see Can you cut behind the mystery I will meet you by the witness tree Leave the whole world behind. I want to come when you call I'll get to you if I have to crawl They can't hold me with these iron walls We've got mountains to climb. Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain There you go, moving across the water There you go, turning my whole world around. 3/25/83 Brother Esau 10/3/87 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) My brother Esau killed the hunter, back in 1969, Before the killing was done his inheritance was mine. When at first my brother walked away, Before a weary band, Esau gave his sleeplessness for a piece of moral land. Our father favored Esau, he was eager to obey, All the wild commandments, the old man shot his way. But all this ended when, my brother failed at war, He staggered home and found me in the door. Esau he's on rollerskates today, And he make a statement to someone in L.A. Sometimes at night I dream, he's still that hairy man, Shadow boxing the apocalypse, wandering the land. Esau holds the blessing, brother Esau holds the curse, I was thinking that the blame was mine, But suspected something worse. The more my brother looks like me, the more I understand, The silent war it bloodied both our hands. Sometimes at night I think I understand. None of us can win. Outside that dream, still that hairy man. Well sometimes at night I think I understand. Shadowboxing the apocalypse, wandering the land. 8/23/71 Brown-Eyed Women 7/23/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Gone are the days when the ox fall down, Take up the yoke and plow the fiends around. Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please, Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me." Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down, And it looks like the old man's gettin' on. 1920 when he stepped to the bar, drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar. 1930 when the wall caved in, he paved his way selling red-eyed gin. Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down, And it looks like the old man's gettin' on. Delilah Jones was the mother of twins, Two times over and the rest were sins. Raised eight boys, only I turned bad, Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had. Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down, And it looks like the old man's gettin' on. Tumble down shack on Big Foot country. Snowed so hard that the roof caved in. Delilah Jones went to meet her God, And the old man never was the same again. Daddy made whiskey and he made it well. Cost two dollars and it burned like hell. I cut hick'ry just to fire the still, Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill. Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down, And it looks like the old man's gettin' on. Gone are the days when the ox fall down, Take up the yoke and plow the fiends around. Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please, Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me." Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down, And it looks like the old man's gettin' on. 10/20/88 Built to Last 3/26/90 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) There are times when you can beckon, There are times when you must fall. You can take a lot of reckoning But you can't take it all. There are times when I can help you out, And times that you must fall. There are times when you must live in doubt, And I can't help at all. Three blue stars rise on the hill. Say no more, now just be still. All these trials will soon be passed Look for something built to last. A wind held by the column, Yes, a cloud held by the breeze. You can walk on coals of fire, But sometimes you must freeze. There are times when you won't let me, And I do the same to you. If you can't or won't forget it, I guess we could be through. One blue star sets on the hill. Call it back; you never will. One more star sinks in the past, Show me something built to last. Built to last 'till time itself Falls tumbling from the wall. Built to last 'till sunshine fails, And darkness moves on all. Built to last while years roll past Like cloudscapes in the sky Show me something built to last Or something built to try. There are times when you get hit up on, Try hard but you cannot give. Other times, you'd gladly part With what you need to live. Don't waste your breath to save your face, When you have done your best And even more than's asked of you, Fate will decide the rest. All the stars, are gone but one. Morning breaks, here comes the Sun. 'Cross the sky, now sinking fast, Show me something built to last. Three blue stars rise on the hill. Say no more, now just be still. All these trials will soon be passed Look for something built to last. One blue star sets on the hill. Call it back, you never will. One more star sinks in the past Show me something built to last All the stars are gone but one Morning breaks, here comes the Sun. 'Cross the sky, now sinking fast, Show me something built to last. 1/25/71 C. C. Rider 12/10/89 (Traditional) Well now C., C. C. Rider, well now see, see what you have done. Well now C., C. C. Rider, well now see, see what you have done. Well you made me love you woman, now your man is gone. So I'm goin' away now baby and I won't be back till fall, I'm goin' away now baby and I won't be back till fall, Just might find me a good girl might not be commin' back at all. Well now C., C. C. Rider, see now the moon is shining bright, Well now C., C. C. Rider, see now the moon is shining bright, Just might find me that good girl and everything would be alright. 11/3/65 Can't Come Down 1/7/66 Well I'm flying down desert streets wrapped in mother's wine and sheets, Asbestos boots on flaming feet dreaming of forbidden treats, When uniforms on nighttime beats ask me where I'm going and what I eat. I answer them with a voice so sweet, I can't come down till it's plain to see. I can't come down I've been set free. Who you are and what you don't make no difference to me. Well someone trying to tell me where it's at, And how I do this and why I do that, With secret smiles like a Chesire cat, And little wings like a vampire bat, I fly away to my cold water flat and eat my way to a bone of fat, And I say to the man with the funny hat, They say I'll be good to lose my grip, My hold on reality is starting to slip, To tell me to got off with this trip, The say its like a sinking ship, Life is sweet it's too warm to sip, And if I drink I'll chuck and flip, I'll just say as I take a nip, Oh I dream of cotton seas and granite walls and redwood trees, And ugly eye that only sees endless mirrors and infinite me's, About the winter's coming freeze this afterthought I say with ease, To all of you who make your fees. 4/3/70 Candyman 6/18/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Come on all you pretty women, with your hair a hanging down, Open up your windows cuz the Candyman's in town. Come on boys and gamble, roll those laughing bones, Seven come eleven, 2000 boys I'll take your money home. Look out, look out the Candyman, Here he comes and he's gone again. Pretty lady ain't got no friend till, The Candyman comes around again I come in from Memphis where I learned to talk the jive, When I get back to Memphis be one less man alive. Good morning Mr. Benson, I see you're doing well, If I had me a shotgun I'd blow you straight to hell. Look out, look out the Candyman, Here he comes and he's gone again. Pretty lady ain't got no friend till, The Candyman comes around again Come on boys and wager if you have got the mind, If you've got a dollar boys, lay it on the line, Hand me my old guitar, pass the whiskey round, Won't you tell everybody you meet that the Candyman's in town. Look out, look out the Candyman, Here he comes and he's gone again. Pretty lady ain't got no friend till, The Candyman comes around again. 6/20/69 Casey Jones 3/27/93 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones is ready, watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind. This old engine makes it on time, Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine, Hits River Junction at seventeen to, At a quarter to ten you know it's travlin' again. Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones is ready, watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind. Trouble ahead, Lady in red, Take my advice you'd be better off dead. Switchman's sleeping, train hundred and two is On the wrong track and headed for you. Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones is ready, watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind. Trouble with you is the trouble with me, Got two good eyes but you still don't see. Come round the bend, you know it's the end, The fireman screams and the engine just gleams... 3/23/74 Cassidy 7/23/94 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream. I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream. Ah child of countless trees, ah child of boundless seas. What are you, what are you meant to be? Speaks his name for you were born to me, Born to me, Cassidy. Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac. I can tell by the way you smile he is rolling back. Come wash the nighttime clean, come grow the scorched ground green. Blow the horn, tap the tambourine. Close the gap on the dark years in between. You and me, Cassidy. Quick beats in an icy heart, catch colt draws a coffin cart, There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry. Flight of the seabirds, Scattered like lost words, Wheel to the storm and fly. Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design. Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine. Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design. Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine. Catfish John Mama said, "Don't go near that river, Don't be hanging around old Catfish John." Come in the morning I'd always be there, Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn. Take me back to another morning, to a time so long ago, When the sweet magnolia blossomed, cotton fields as white as snow. Catfish John was a river hobo who lived and died by the river's bed, Looking back I still remember I was proud to be his friend. Mama said, "Don't go near that river, Don't be hanging around old Catfish John." Come in the morning I'd always be there, Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn. Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg, traded for a chestnut mare, Lord he never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear. Mama said, "Don't go near that river, Don't be hanging around old Catfish John." Come in the morning I'd always be there, Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn. Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn. Cats Under the Stars (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Cats on the blacktop, birdie in the treetop, Someone plays guitar that sounds like clarinet. I ain't ready to go to bed, I think I'll take a walk downtown instead. Cats on the bandstand, Give'em each a big hand, Anyone who sweats like that must be all right. No one wants to fight; no blackeye, Just another cat beneath the stars tonight. Cats in the limelight, feels like it's alright, Everybody wants something they might not get. I ain' ready yet, it ain't complete, That's why I am headin' down to Alleycat Street. Satin blouse unbuttoning, satin blouse unbuttoning, Time is a stripper's doin', it's just for you. Time is a stripper's doin', it's just for you. Knock in the brass tacks, cover up your tracks Jack, You ain't nowhere till you can pay your own way back. What else do you lack to make it right, But cats down under the stars tonight. 11/3/65 Caution - Do Not Stop On The Tracks 5/11/72 (Pig Pen = Ron McKernan) I went down one day, I went down one day to see a Gypsy woman, Just one old day, yes I did, I want to find out, I want to find out, I want to find out, I want to find out now, What's wring with me and my baby. We ain't gettin' down like we used to do, I mean it's pretty good now, but there was a time, When it didn't work too well. I went down to see this Gypsy woman, you understand, I told her my story, I told her what was goin' on. And she told me, man she said, all you need, all you need, She said all you got to have, oh Lord, Just a touch of Mojo's hand, oh bring it back on, And it feels pretty good, yes indeed. 7/20/94 Childhood's End 8/4/94 (Phil Lesh) When I was hoppin' freights and makin' payments on the farm Here between the angels and the deep blue sea You were runnin', laughin', growin' sheltered from the storm Dreamin' of the day the moon would set you free Yeah, to sing your siren song so sweet and warm River run deep River run slow Get a little restless Wanna see some whales blow River run cold River run clear That feeling always gets to me 'Round about this time of year Scoutin' unknown borders under multi-colored moons In the wildest flights of cosmic mystery Rang a single soarin' tone that strung the sky in tune As the silence in my heart rose from the sea Aaah, to greet you in the dawn with a pale harpoon River run restless River run high Runnin' thru a hailstorm Try to catch a star on the fly River run muddy River flow like tears Cocoon of life surroundin' us Holdin' all our hopes and fears Reach behind the wind Search beyond the stars We're the life on Mars When the day grows dark and scary scatterin' the light All the colors run away and hide behind your knees The same sweet thunder tumbles rollin' down the night Like a mothership that calls for you and me Come on, and drift along that sky river bright River run swiftly River run wide Feel like sailin' On the morning tide River run golden River run true Set a course and follow Ooooh, the star that leads to you 2/3/68 China Cat Sunflower 8/4/94 (Robert Hunter, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh) Look for a while at the China Cat sunflower, Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun. Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono, Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind. Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandanna, Like a one-eyed Cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack. A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle, To a double-E waterfall over my back. Comic book colors on a violin river Cryin' Leonardo, Words from out a silk trombone. I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls, In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee. 2/9/73 China Doll 7/18/93 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) A pistol shot, at five o'clock, the bells of heaven ring, tell me what you done it for, No I won't tell you a thing. Yesterday I begged you before I hit the ground, all I leave behind me is only what I found. If you can abide it, let the hurdy-gurdy play, stranger o 2000 nes have come by here before they flew away. I will not condemn you nor yet would I deny, I would ask the same of you, but failing, will not die. Take up your china doll, take up your china doll, it's only fractured and just a little nervous from the fall. La-la-la-la-la-la-la. 12/31/71 Chinatown Shuffle 5/26/72 (Ron McNernan) Take it, you can have it, what I got baby, I can't hold and if you find the secret tell me how to build the mold.

Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe." Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill, only love can fill. Been walking all morning went walking all night I can`t see much difference between the dark and light And I feel the wind And I taste the rain Never in my mind to cause so much pain. Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says "Don't you see? Gotta make it somehow on the the dreams you still believe." Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill, only love can fill. From day to day just letting it ride. You get so far away from how it feels inside. You can't let go 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all. The words come out like an angry stream. You hear yourself say things you could never mean. When you cool down you find your mind. You got a lot of words you've got to stand behind. Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says "Don't you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe." Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill, only love can fill, only love can fill, only love can fill. 11/3/65 Confusion Prince / Mind Bender 11/29/66 (Phil Lesh) If only I could be less blind, if only I knew what to find Everywhere and all of the time, it's bending my mind Confusion Prince is at my door The crown I wear is the one he wore He's here to bring me down some more and bend my mind The friendly stranger call my name He only wants me for his game But it don't matter just the same I bend his mind I'll wave my flags into the sun I fought my wars and now they're won And I didn't need nobody's gun, I bend their mind 2/23/93 Corrina 8/3/94 (Robert Hunter, Bob Weir) Hog of a Sunday Dog of a Monday Get it back someday What'd I say? Movin' in close Cut from a long shot Fade on a downbeat Ready or not ready or not Chorus: Corrina, Wake it up baby Corrina, Shake it on down Corrina, Corrina Cruise through a stop sign Loggin' up short time Bird on a phone line Soakin' up the Sun Salt on a crowtail What can I do? I'm down by law But I'm true to you true to you Chorus: If, what, where and when Told at the proper time Big black wings beat on the wind But they don't hardly climb There's a silver ocean Silver clouds and silver sea A bird on the horizon Silver wingin' back to me Chorus: Wake it uup baby Shake it down easy Bring it back someday What'd I say? Movin' in closer Cut from a long shot Fade on a downbeat Ready or not ready or not Corrina-Wake it up baby Corrina-Shake it down easy Corrina-Shake it up now Corrina-Shake it back down If, what, where, when and how No it don't mean a thing to me I would love you even if you flew away from me I'll just stand here waiting on the far side of the sea There is no fear that lovers born will ever fail to meet Chorus: 10/19/68 Cosmic Charlie 9/25/76 (Robert Hunter 2000 , Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh) Cosmic Charlie how do you do? Truckin' in style along the avenue. Dum de dum de dooodley do. Go on home your mama's calling you. Kalico, Kahlia, come tell me the news. Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her. Rosy red and electric blue I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe. Say you'll come back when you can, whenever your airplane happens to land. Maybe I'll be back here, too. It all depends on what's with you. Hung up waiting for a windy day, kite one ice since the first of February. Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow, But standing here, I say, I just don't know. New ones comin' as the old ones go. Everything's moving here but much too slow now, A little bit quicker and we might have time, To say "How do you do?" before we're left behind. Calliope wail like a seaside zoo. The very last lately inquired about you, It's really very one or two. The first you wanted, the last I knew. I just wonder if you shouldn't feel, Less concerned about the deep unreal. The very first word is "How do you do?", The last "Go home your mama's callin' you." Calling you, calling you, calling you, calling you, Go on home your mama's calling you. 6/17/75 Crazy Fingers 8/3/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Your rain falls like crazy fingers Peals of fragile thunder keeping time Recall the days that still are to come some sing blue. Hang your heart on laughing willow stray Down to the water, deep sea of love beneath the sweet calm face of the sea swift undertow. Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know, See how it feels in the end. May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you soft, strong, sweet and true. Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow tapping at the window, touch your hair So swift and bright strange figures of light float in air. Who can stop what must arrive now? Something new is waiting to be born Dark as the night you're still by my side shine inside . Gone are the days we stopped to decide where we should go, we just ride. Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams gone, both dream and lie. Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know, Feels like it might be alright, While Lady Lullaby sings plainly through you Love still rings true. Midnight on a carousel ride reaching for the gold ring down inside, Never could reach it, just slips away but I try. 10/7/66 Cream Puff War 3/18/67 (Jerry Garcia) No, no! She can't take your mind and leave I know it's just another trick she's got up her sleeve I can't believe that she really wants you to die After all it's more than enough to pay for your lie Wait a minute, watch what you're doin' with your time All the endless ruins of the past must stay behind, yeah Well, can't you see that you're killing each other's soul Well, you're both out in the streets and you got no place to go Your constant battles are getting to be a bore So go somewhere else and continue your cream puff war Cruel White Water (Robert Hunter) Up near the border where the cruel white water drowns the vagabond who sleeps too low me and my companion, the famous Jack Of Lanterns tracked the misty mountains through the snow I ran across the hidden chord but I could not learn the changes the blue Pacific called and I had to go there was holy on the ivy in the apparition mountains but the warmest bed I found was ten below courted lady Greensleeves, she pushed me out the window I landed like a feather in the trees took off across New Mexico and landed in the bayou but the catfish were too lean, and I had to blow don't lie for gold--no no no no! don't lie for love--that turns out cold if life depends, just get out whole... but don't lie for less, no no no no! Marie Marie, Marie Helena you're my amour, you're my own heart Marie Marie, Marie Helena Marie Marie, Marie Helena! Left a life of ease and caught that black iron steamer across the barren waste to your arcade singing 'take me to your leader' in my strangest country tenor but the bad I set to lay was half way made leftover pieces weren't exactly what I needed they didn't have much meaning on their own there was some talk of deviation, but from what was never mentioned so I set out to find my wrong way home home inside the hour, I was tuning my guitar where I got that sudden urge I know too well I finished my rendition of 'Don't Pity My Condition' and then looked around to find what I could sell You can't sell your soul! Leave that alone! You can't change your role Big Daddy Lowe Don't break your back for less than love! and don't trade your love for stars above! Marie Marie, Marie Helena you're my amour, you're my own heart Marie Marie, Marie Helena Marie Marie, Marie Helena! Caught up with Jack Of Lanterns in a town called Make It Hurt preaching three card monte in the Live And Let It church the choir was down and dirty, drawing bad and betting worse we left at ten past six in a padded hearse I might find companions in after hours taverns to tell a tale or two I've never heard but the strangest song I know is what the thunder said to lightening and I never could recall a single word except... Up near the border where the cruel white water drowns the vagabond who sleeps too low me and my companion, the famous Jack Of Lanterns tracked the misty mountains through the snow don't lie for gold--no no no no! don't lie for love--that turns out cold if life depends, just get out whole... but don't lie for less--no no no no! Marie Marie, Marie Helena by firelight you steal my heart Marie Marie, Marie Helena Marie Marie, Marie Helena! 11/11/67 Cryptical Envelopment 9/3/85 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this rose. It rainbow spirals round and round it trembles and explodes. It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away. But the heat came 'round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day. Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around, comin', around, in a circle Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle, Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle. Escapin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space, It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place. The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began, There was cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land. Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around, comin', around, in a circle Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle, Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle. And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended, Their minds remained unbended, He had to die, Oh, you know he had to die. 11/8/69 Cumberland Blues 6/24/94 (Robert Hunter, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh) I can't stay much longer, Melinda, The sun is getting high.

Well I'm going away, I'm leaving today I'm goin' but I ain't comin' back. 9/4/67 Dark Star 3/30/94 (The Grateful Dead, Robert Hunter) Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes. Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis. Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion. Shall we go, you and I, while we can, Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds? Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter. Glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving. Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of goodbye. Shall we go, you and I while we can Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds? 8/26/82 Day Job 4/4/86 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Maybe you collect or maybe you pay (whether) Still got to work that eight hour day Whether you like that job or not You'd better keep it on ice while you're lining up your long shot Chorus: Which is to say, hey hey, keep yer day job Don't give it away, keep yer day job, whatever they say Keep yer day job 'till your night job pays.

Goes to show, you don't ever know, Watch each card you play and play it slow, Wait until that deal come round, Don't you let that deal go down, no, no. I been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years, If I told you all that went down it would burn off both of your ears. Goes to show you don't ever know Watch each card you play and play it slow, Wait until that deal come round, Don't you let that deal go down, no, no. Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes, I hate to leave you sittin' there, composin' lonesome blues.

Cinderella, she seems so easy "It takes one to know one," she smiles And puts her hands in her back pockets Bette Davis style and in comes Romeo, he's moaning "You Belong to Me I Believe" And someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend You Better leave" and the only sound that's left After the ambulances go is Cinderella sweeping up On Desolation Row Now the moon is almost hidden the stars are beginning to hide the fortune telling lady Has even taken all her things inside All except for Cain and Abel and the hunchback of Notre Dame Everybody is making love or else expecting rain And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing he's getting ready for the show He's going to the carnival tonight On Desolation Row Now Ophelia, she's neath the window for her I feel so afraid On her twenty-second birthday she already is an old maid To her, death is quite romantic she wears an iron vest Her profession's her religion her sin is her lifelessness And though her eyes are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow She spend her time peeking Into Desolation Row Einstein disguised as Robin Hood with his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago with his friend, a jealous monk He looked so immaculately frightful as he bummed a cigarette As he went off sniffing drainpipes and reciting the alphabet Now you would not think to look at him but he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On Desolation Row Dr. Filth, he keeps his world inside of a leather cup But all his sexless patients they're trying to blow it up Now his nurse, some local loser she's in charge of the cyanide hole And she also keeps the cards that read "Have Mercy on His Soul" They all play on the penny whistles you can hear then blow If you lean your head out far enough From Desolation Row 6/11/69 Dire Wolf 7/1/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) In the timbers to Fennario, the wolves are running round, The winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me. I sat down to my supper, 'twas a bottle of red whisky, I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me. When I awoke, the Dire Wolf, six hundred pounds of sin, Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in". Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me. The Wolf came in, I got my cards, we sat down for a game. I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades, but the cards were all the same. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me. In the backwash of Fennario, the black and bloody mire, The Dire Wolf collects his dues, while the boys sing 'round the fire. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me. No, no, no don't murder me. I beg of you, Don't murder me.

Everywhere I go, the people all know Everyone's doin' that rag. Everywhere I go, the people all know Everyone's doin' that rag. Take my line, go fishin' for a Tuesday, Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea. Gave my baby twenty or forty good reasons, Couldn't find any better ones in the morning at three. THe rain gonna come, but the rain gonna go y'know. Steppin' off sharply from the rank and file. Awful cold and dark like a dungeon Maybe get a little bit darker before the day. Hipsters, flipsters, real cool chicksters Everyone's doin' that rag. You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset. No one is watchin' or standin' in your shoes. Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning, Everything promised is delivered to you. Don't neglect to pick up what your share is, All the winter birds are winging home now. Hey love go, and look around you, Nothing out there you haven't seen before now. Wading in the water and you'll never get wet, If you keep on doin' that rag. Wading in the water and you'll never get wet, If you keep on doin' that rag. One eyed jacks and the deuces are wild And the aces are crawlin' up and down your sleeve.

I try and I try to make it work, I try and I try to make it work I try and I try, yeah, I won't forget, I know, Love gets you nowhere slow. I want no more heartache 2000 s, no more goodbyes Ain't no more real good love, only new love, but old love dies.

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe, That light I never knowed, An' it ain't no use in turnin, on your light, babe, I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay. We never did too much talkin' anyway. So don't think twice, it's all right. It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal, Like you never did before, It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal, I can't hear you anymore, I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' all the way down the road. I once loved a woman, a child I'm told. I give her my heart but she wanted my soul, But don't think twice, it's all right. I'm walking down that long, lonesome, road, babe, Where I'm bound I can't tell, But goodbye's too good a word, gal, So I'll just say fare thee well. I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind, You could have done better but I don't mind, You just kinda wasted my precious time, But don't think twice, It's all right. 8/5/70 Drink Up and Go Home 8/5/70 You sit there in crying, braiding your hair, You say you got trouble, my friend has a fair, Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own, Be thankful for living, drink up and go home. Now there is still some blind man, blind he can't see, You think he's complaining, why should you appeal? Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own, Be thankful for living, drink up and go home. 2/11/69 Dupree's Diamond Blues 3/26/90 (Robert Hunter, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh) When I was just a little young boy, Papa said son, you'll never get far, Tell you the reason, if you wanna know, Cause child of mine, there isn't really far to go. Well, baby baby wants a gold diamond ring, Wants it more than any old thing, Well when I get those jelly-roll blues, Why I go and get anything in this world for you. Down to the jewelry store packin' a gun, Says, "Wrap it up I think I'll take this one." "A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said, Dupree said, "I'll pay this one off to you in lead." Well you know son, you just can't figure, First thing you know you're gonna to pull that trigger, And it's no wonder, your reason goes bad, Jelly-roll will drive you so mad. Judge said, "Son, it's gonna cost you some time." Dupree said, "Judge you know that crossed my mind." Judge said, "Fact it's gonna cost you your life." Dupree said, "Judge you know that seems to me to be about right." Baby baby you gonna lose her sweet man, Dupree come out with a losin' hand, Baby's gonna weep it up for a while, Then go out and find another sweet man's gonna treat her with style.

Nighttime would fine me in Rose's Cantina, Music would play and Felina would whirl. Black as the night were the eyes of Felina, Wicked and evil while casting a spell. My love was strong for this Mexican maiden, I was in love, but in vain I could tell. One night a wild young cowboy came in, wild as the West Texas wind... Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing, With wicked Felina, the girl that I love. So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden; Down went his hand for the gun that he wore. My challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor. Just for a moment I stood there in silence, Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done. Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there; I had but one chance and that was to run. Out through the back door of Rose's I ran, out where the horses were tied... I picked a good one; he looked like he could run, Up on his back and away I did ride. Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso, Out thru the badlands of New Mexico. Back in El Paso my life would be worthless; Everything's gone in life nothing is left. But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden, My love is stronger that my fear of death. I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark... Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me, Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart. And as last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso, I can see Rose's Cantina below. My love is strong and it pushes me onward, down off the hill to Felina I go. Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys, Off to my left ride a dozen or more. shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me, I've got to make it to Rose's back door. Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel a deep burning pain in my side... It's getting harder to stay in the saddle. I'm getting weary, unable to ride. But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen; Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest. I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle, I feel the bullet go deep in my chest. From out of nowhere, Felina has found me, Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side. Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for, One little kiss and Felina goodbye. 2/3/68 The Eleven 9/28/75 (Robert Hunter, Phil Lesh) High green chilly winds and windy vines In loops around the twisted shafts of lavender, They're crawling to the sun. Underfoot the ground is patched With arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita, Stark and shiny in the breeze. Wonder who will water all the children of the garden When they sigh about the barren lack of rain and Droop so hungry neath the sky. William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch No furthermore and-or it may require a change that hasn't come before. No more time to tell how, this is the season of what, Now is the time of returning with our thought Jewels polished and gleaming. Now is the time past believing the child has relinquished the rein, Now is the test of the boomerang tossed in the night of redeeming. Eight sided whispering hallelujah hatrack, Seven faced marble eyed transitory dream doll, Six proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow, Five men writing with fingers of gold, Four men tracking down the great white sperm whale, Three girls waiting in a foreign dominion Riding in the whalebelly, fade away in moonlight, Sink beneath the waters to the coral sands below. 8/24/71 Empty Pages 8/26/71 Empty pages before my eyes, you not deny or criticize Empty bedrooms where I paid my dues Watching the ceiling instead of you Can you tell me where you're goin', can't hold on to hear my song I've got some songs I'd love to sing Always bring down some other thing Where can I go my hands are broken It seems like your love is just a token, why won't you stay with me? Up in the morning and out the door She won't come in I gotta live alone Back in the evening with the darn poor fool out I got on mind just this gal, just this gal. 2/26/77 Estimated Prophet 8/1/94 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) My time coming, anyday, don't worry about me, no Been so long I felt this way, I'm in no hurry, no Rainbows and down that highway where ocean breezes blow My time coming, voices saying they tell me where to go.

Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home, wond'rin' where the nut-thatch winters, wings a mile long just carried the bird away. Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the worl 2000 d, the heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own. Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings, But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own. There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away, And there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay. And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay, and night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day. Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world, the heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own. Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings, But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own, And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home, sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone, sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own. Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world, the heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own. Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings, But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own. 3/30/80 Far From Me 7/22/90 (Brent Mydland) You say you want to try again, wear it down between the lines Well, I have a better end in mind it doesn't seem to really have you Close your eyes to see though I know you don't mean to be You are so far from me There was something I had caught inside screaming hard to make it go And tied me down low, it doesn't seem you really have to Close you eyes to see, you've been all you'll be to me Though I know you don't mean to be, it's just too late And we can't relate at all This is the last time I wanna say so long This song is my last song for you There's just nothing here to hold on to Baby, nothing to hold on to 3/31/80 Feel Like A Stranger 7/29/94? (Bob Weir, John Barlow) Inside you're burnin' I can see clear through Your eyes tell more than you mean them to Lit up and flashin' like the reds and blues Out there on the neon avenue Well I, feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger) Well the music's thunderin', restless and hot You keep firin' me glances across the room And I can't stop wonderin' just what you got Get the feeling I'm going to find out real soon But I feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger) So let's get on with the show, let's go Yes, and the wheels it's smokin 'round midnight You show me a look that says "Let's go" Yes, and it feels about like running a red light Now there ain't no point in looking behind us, no! Still I feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger) You know It's gonna get stranger, let's get on with the show If this were love now how would I know? How would I know? Feel like a stranger Gonna be a long, long, crazy, crazy night Silky, silky, crazy, crazy night 3/18/77 Fire On The Mountain 8/1/94 (Mickey Hart, Robert Hunter) Long distance runner, what you standin' there for? Get up, get out, get out of the door Your playin' cold music on the barroom floor Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core. There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down. Fire! Fire on the mountain! Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat It takes all you got just to stay on the beat. You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat But you're here alone, there's no one to compete. If Mercy's a bus'ness, I wish it for you More than just ashes when your dreams come true. Fire! Fire on the mountain! Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for? Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door. The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor You gave all you had. Why you wanna give more? The more that you give, the more it will take To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake. Fire! Fire on the mountain! 6/19/88 Foolish Heart 7/29/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Carve your name, Carve your name in ice and wind. Search for where, Search for where the rivers' end, or where the river starts. Do everything that's in you, You feel to be your part. But never give your love my friend, Unto a foolish heart. Unto a foolish heart. Learn to read, Read from ledgers high and wild. Learn to speak, Speak with wisdom like a child, Directly to the heart. Crown yourself the king of clowns, Or stand way back apart. But never give your love my friend, Unto a foolish heart. Unto a foolish heart. Shun a friend, Shun a brother or a friend. Have a look, Have a look around the bend, or check the weather chart. Sign the Mona Lisa with a spray can, call it art. But never give your love my friend, Unto a foolish heart. Unto a foolish heart. A foolish heart will call on you To toss your dreams away. Turn around and blame you, For the way you went astray. A foolish heart will cause you grief, And often make you hurt. A selfish heart is trouble, But a foolish heart is worse. Bite the hand, Bite the hand that bakes your bread. Dare to lead, Where the angels fear to tread, 'till you are torn apart, Start the fire of paradise, With coals from Hell to start. But never give your love my friend, Unto a foolish heart. Unto a foolish heart. Unto a foolish heart, Unto a foolish heart, Unto a foolish heart, Unto a foolish heart. Forever Young May God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true. May you always do for others and let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung, May you stay forever young. Forever young, forever young, may you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong. May you stay forever young. Forever young, forever young, may you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift. May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful, may your songs always be sung. May you stay forever young. Forever young, forever young, may you stay forever young.

(Jerry Garcia, John Dawson, Robert Hunter) I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came around. Set out runnin' but I take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills. Set out runnin' but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine, If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

Set out runnin' but I take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night, The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight. The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail, And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail. Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me. Set out runnin' but I take my time, A friend of the devil is a friend of mine, If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. 8/31/78 From the Heart of Me 2/17/79 (Donna Godchaux) Voices slide down off the mountain, sunlight turning red Falls on the earth and it spreads Even the families lower their heads as they ride Age old faces of the mountains looming naturally I wonder if they're looking at me, their monumental eyes I can feel In the glow of the twilight the thought of home Reminds me now I'm reaching out to you Anything I can do to be safe and warm in your arms All I have from the heart of you I'd meet you anywhere in the country or anywhere on the sea All over the world it could be I would follow you with the heart of me Love calls echo in the valley, dream come true tonight Remembering you hold me tight in tomorrow morning's light I will fine you When I awoke the stars were out and shining, shining for you and me All I ever wanna be is save and warm in your arms All I have, from the heart of me 6/6/70 Frozen Logger Song 8/25/72 As I pulled out a living within a small cafe Party rolled waitress to me these words she said I see you're a logger and a common bum Cause no one but a logger stirs coffee with his thumb My lover was a logger, but not like none today If you put whiskey on it, he'd eat a bale of hay 2/23/88 Gentlemen, Start Your Engines 7/31/88 (Brent Mydland, John Barlow) It's three AM in the combat zone.

I will pay day by day, anyway, lock, bolt and key. Crippled but free, I was blind all the time I was learning to see. Help on the way, well, I know only this, I've got you today. Don't fly away, cause I love what I love and I want it that way. I will stay one more day, like I say, honey it's you. Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true.

If I had a song to sing, I'd sing it to you as long as you live, lullaby or maybe a plain serenade wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid at the change you made I may not have the world to give to you But maybe I have a tune or two Only if you let me be your world Could I ever give this world to you But I will give what love I have to give, I will give what love I have to give, I will give what love I have to give, long as I live.

Well maybe I've got no star to spare, or anything fin 2000 e or even rare, only if you let me be your world, could I ever give this world to you. could I ever give this world to you. 6/9/94 If the Shoe Fits 8/3/94 (Phil Lesh, Andrew Charles) Will your high hopes get you there Goal so far and yet so near You can't ignore the writing on the wall Every time you rise you fall End nowhere in sight at all Why should you pick it up and try again Chorus: Give it up, 'cause you can't win Let it go while you still can Gave it all you had, now you're feelin' bad So you're gone, ready to roam You come on so strong with that same sad song Wherever you go Run along, take your ball and go home Promised yet another chance Forbidden just a single glance So much rides on what you say and do Discarded truths and famous myths Tales that life deceives you with Certain things you always thought you knew Chorus: Helpful hands that pull you down Smaller minds turn you around Friends in need are never really true Why should you put trust in this Bridge above the dark abyss You never learned you can't make all the rules Chorus: 1/22/89 It Doesn't Matter (Jerry Garcia?) Finished up my masterpiece Gave it to the thought-police. Wanta two-way ticket for a one-way ride. Nothing lasts nor ever will You get born, then you're over the hill Try you might, but no one's leavin' alive. They say what goes up will always come back down. Looks to me like it just goes around And around and around. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. It's alright. It's alright. The Universe Is workin' fine tonight. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. It's OK Whatever comes to pass Will just pass right on away. The future is a sea of dreams The past a pack of lies it seems. Walk in glory or crawl to fame I only own the surrounding minute Borrowin' everything that's in it. Step out on the stage and lose your name. They say what goes out will always come back in I don't know, I just like to watch it spin and spin and spin. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Have a little faith. I burn my maps So I can navigate It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Have a little hope. You can't see tomorrow With a telescope. We tear down nations with fits and rages For a paragraph on history's pages. See those towers in the desert, torn in half. Whenever you mention Destiny, You better get rid of that capital D. Whenever Man plans, it makes God laugh. Where all this is heading, I can't even guess. I close my eyes and I just say "yes," I say "yes, yes, yes." It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Gotta be here now. Gotta learn to live In the present somehow. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Your big designs Look mighty damned small In the endless halls of time 2/9/89 It Is What It Is (Jerry Garcia?) It's a cobbled dance that no one planned Least of all the dancer, A crap shoot dream you summon From the corner of one eye. If you need an explanation There's a quick and easy answer, Stop thinking for a moment And give this one a try: Just say: It is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, Hey, it is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, It is what it is, What it might have been, it isn't. An infinity of mornings, And only one shines through. It is what it is, Gonna grab the day we're given Cause it is what it is, And what it is will have to do. You stop waiting for the check to come, The postman's on vacation, Take a job that starts at midnight Give completely up on luck. A scientologist comes knocking, When you move to battle stations, He says "Wait, my name's Mark Anthony, And here's your million bucks." Oh well, It is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, Hey, it is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, It is what it is, What you had in mind, it won't be Despite your great endeavors The prize comes free to you. It is what it is, If you feel surprised, then don't be, Cause it is what it is, And what it is will have to do. Animals eat animals Creation eats the winner. Fall down to the beetles and start back up again. It's a long way up the chain of life Not easy for beginners You'll find that it's no easier For elephants or men. But hey, It is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, Yeah, it is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, It is what it is, It is what it is, What it might have been, it isn't. An infinity of mornings, And only one shines through. It is what it is, Gonna grab the day we're given Cause it is what it is, And what it is will have to do. 2/22/74 It Must Have Been The Roses 7/24/94 (Robert Hunter) Annie laid her head down in the roses. She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair. I don't know, maybe it was the roses, All I know I could not leave her there. I don't know, it must have been the roses, The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair. I don't know, maybe it was the roses, All I know I could not leave her there. Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea, Thinkin' well how it may blow in all good company, If I tell another what your own lips told to me, Let me lay 'neath the roses, till my eyes no longer see. I don't know, it must have been the roses, The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair. I don't know, maybe it was the roses, All I know I could not leave her there. One pane of glass in the window, No one is complaining, no, come in and shut the door, Faded is the crimson from the ribbons that she wore, And it's strange how no one comes round any more. I don't know, it must have been the roses, The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair. I don't know, maybe it was the roses, All I know I could not leave her there. Annie laid her head down in the roses. She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair. I don't know, maybe it was the roses, All I know I could not leave her there. 6/10/73 It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry 3/16/92 (Bob Dylan) Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill Well, if I die on top of the hill And if I don't make it, you know my baby will Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through the trees?

We can share what we got of yours 'cause we done shared all of mine. Keep on rollin', just a mile to go; Keep on rollin' my old buddy, you're movin' much too slow. I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence. Took his rings, four bucks in change, ain't that Heaven sent? Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, burns my eyes to see; Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon, might as well been me. We used to play for silver, now we play for life; And one's for sport and one's for blood at the point of a knife. And now the die is shaken, now the die must fall. There ain't a winner in the game, he don't go home with all. Not with all. Leavin' Texas, fourth day of July, Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky. Catch the Detroit Lightnin' out of Sante Fe, The Great Northern out of Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea. Gotta go to Tulsa, first train we can ride.

Half a mile from Tucson, by the morning light, One man gone and another to go, my old buddy you're moving much too slow. We can share the women, we can share the wine. 5/13/77 Jack-A-Roe 8/4/94 (Traditional) There was a wealthy merchant, in London he did dwell He had a Beautiful daughter, the truth to you we'll tell Oh the truth to you we'll tell She had sweethearts a plenty, and men of high degree But none but Jack the sailor, her true love ever be Oh her true love ever be Jackie's gone a sailing, with trouble on his mind He's left his native country and his darling girl behind Oh his darling girl behind She went down to a tailor shop and dressed in man's array She climbed on board a vessel to convey herself away Oh convey herself away Before you get on board sir, your name we'd like to know She smiled on her countenance, they called me Jack-A-Roe Oh they called me Jack-A-Roe I see your waist is slender, your fingers they are small Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball Oh to face the cannonball I know my waist's to slender, my fingers they are small but it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall Oh to see ten thousand fall The war soon being over she went and looked around among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found Oh her darling boy she found She picked him up on in her arms and carried him to the town she sent for a physician to quickly heal his wounds Oh to quickly heal his wounds This couple they got married so well they did agree This couple they got married was one you and me Oh was one of you and me Oh was one of you and me 2/18/71 Johnny B.

Come on honey, let me sing 'em away, Come on honey, let me sing 'em away, Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away. 4/30/88 Let The Good Times Roll 12/5/92 (Sam Cooke) Get in the groove and let the good times roll, We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls, If it takes all night long.

If I was the sun, I'd look for shade If I was a bed, I would stay unmade If I was a river I'd run uphill If you call me you know I will If you call me you know I will Ooo, Freedom Ooo, Liberty O... Leave me alone to find my own way home to find my own way home Say what I mean and I don't give a damn I do believe and I am who I am Hey now Mama come take my hand Whole lotta shakin' all over this land If I was an eagle I'd dress like a duck Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck If I get a notion I'll climb this tree or chop it down and you can't stop me Chop it down and you can't stop me Ooo, Freedom Ooo, Liberty O ... leave me alone to find my own way home to find my own way home Went to the well but the water was dry Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky Looked in the bottom and what did I see? The whole damned world looking back at me If I was a bottle I'd spill for love Sake of mercy I'd kill for love If I was a liar I'd lie for love Sake of my baby I'd die for love Sake of my baby I'd die for love Ooo Freedom Ooo Liberty O... Leave me alone to find my own way home to find my own way home I'm gonna find my own way home Like A Road When the road gets too long And you run all out of sun And the pain gets too much to bear Turn around, turn around Turn around, and I'll be there Like a Road, Like a Road leading home When you wake up and start to cry And you need some place to go And you want some company that really cares Turn around... When the grey clouds pass you by And the road you travel on Doesn't seem to be goin' anywhere Turn around... 9/16/66 Lindy 12/1/66 I know they're gonna run take me When they get across the sea Ever' chance, those women; Watch-it's amazing It's all safe and now sugar baby Oh Mama, don't you weep and moan, Uncle Sam got your man and gone. Now then they're doin' the Lindy Bird across the sea. Oh Mama, how can it be, You went way across the sea Just to keep from doing that Lindy fight with me Oh baby, well I done just told'ja now Oh Mama, don't you weep and moan, Uncle Sam got your man and gone. Now then they're doin' the Lindy Bird across the sea. I asked her for a piece of banana; She said, "Let me play the blues on your piano And then I'll do that Lindy thing with you." Mary had a dream about a submarine. I asked her for a glass of payolla; She said, "Let me play the blues on your Victrola, And then I'll do that Lindy figh 2000 t with you." 1/27/89 Little Light 7/21/90 (Brent Mydland, John Barlow) Well, there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care. And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there. I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true... The honey's sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you. So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night. And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright. But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might To give you just a little sweetness... Just a little sweetness... Just a little light. I have always heard that virtue ought be its own reward, But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword. It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way. You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away. Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright, Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight To give me just a little sweetness... Just a little sweetness... Just a little sweetness... Just a little light. Bridge: It could be just another highway coiled up in the night. You could be just another mule deer, baby, stranded on my brights There's a tingling recognition Like the sound of distant thunder And I begin to wonder If the love I've driven under Won't ignite. So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night. And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright. Something shines around you that seems, to my delight To give me just a little sweetness... Just a little sweetness... Just a little sweetness... Just a little light. 8/19/80 Little Red Rooster 7/26/94 (Willie Dixon) I'm a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days Just a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days Keep everything in the barnyard people, upset in every way Dogs begin to bark now and the hounds begin to howl Dogs begin to bark now and the hounds begin to howl Watch out stray cat people the little red rooster is on the prowl If you see the little red rooster, won't you please drive him home If you see my little red rooster, won't you please drive him home Been no peace in the barnyard people, since the little red rooster's been gone Brent Rap: Hey there little red rooster, well you ain't shit to me You think you're a stud boy, well I doubt you'll ever be While you away I'm gonna fuck with your henhouse I'm just being neighboorly.

Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee, I murdered little Sadie in the first degree First degree and the second degree Got any papers won't you read 'em to me. They took me downtown all dressed in black Put me on the train and sent me back Sent me back to the county jail, I had nobody to go for my bail The judge and the jury they took the stand The judge hold the paper in his right hand Forty-one days, forty-one nights, Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes. 4/15/83 Little Star / Bob Star 6/20/83 (Bob Weir) Lovers we got to be, lovers we are. I just wanna be one of those little stars One of those stars, that'll be just fine.... All you gotta do is hang up there and shine......... Hang up there and shine 12/19/69 Long Black Limousine 6/21/71 Down through the city their fancy cars are such a sight to see At first look your rich friends that took you innocently That now they finally called you home to me Papers told about you lost your life Of the party and the famous crash that night Racing on the highway that turns nobody saint Now you're driving in that long black limousine 3/22/72 Looks Like Rain 7/29/84 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) Awoke today, felt your side of the bed; The covers were still warm where you been layin'. You were gone, oh gone, my heart was filled with dread; You might not be sleeping here again. But it's alright cause I love you, and that's not going to change. Run me around and make me hurt again and again. But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name. The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love? You guess from the cries you were listening to a fight. Well you know, oh know, haste is the last thing they're thinking of. You know they're only tryin' to make it thru the night. I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down Or fit you in the lines I might've drawn. It's just that I, oh I, have gotten used to havin' you around. The landscape would be empty, if you were gone; But it's alright cause I love you, and that's not going to change. Run me around and make me hurt again and again. But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letter of your name. The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain. 2/9/73 Loose Lucy 7/31/94 (Jeryy Garcia, Robert Hunter) Loose Lucy is my delight, she come runnin' and we ball all night, round and round and round and round and round and round and round, don't take much to get me on the ground.

You're a lost sailor, been away too long at sea. Somedays the gales are howling, sometimes the sea is still as glass. Oh, raise the main sail, oh, lash the mast. You're a lost sailor, been away too long at sea. Now the shorelines beckon, there is a price for being free. There's a sea bird cryin' and there's a ghost wind blowing And it's calling you, to that misty swirling sea. Till the chains of your dreams are broken, No place in this world you can be. You're a lost sailor, been away too long at sea. Now the shorelines beckon, there is a price for being free. You pay for being free, I'll tell ya freedom don't come easy, Free don't always come for free, Sometimes it's hard to know what to believe in. Where to go, who to go, where to be, who to be. That means you're driftin'.... driftin' Yeah driftin' and dreamin', really goin' on a dream now. Really goin' on a feelin', really goin' on a feelin'. Driftin', driftin' and dreamin'. Cause it's a place you've never been Maybe a place you've never seen now You can hear them callin' on the wind Driftin' and dreamin', driftin' and dreamin'. Really goin' on a dream now, really goin' on a dream now, Really goin' on a dream now. 5/18/67 Louie, Louie 4/9/89 (Richard Derry) Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Louie, Louie, me gotta go. A fine little girl, she wait for me. Me catch the ship across the sea. I sailed the ship all alone. I never think I'll make it home. Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Three nights and days we sailed the sea. Me think of girl constantly. On the ship, I dream she there. I smell the rose in her hair. Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Me see Jamaican moon above. It won't be long me see me love. Me take her in my arms and then. I tell her I never leave again. Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Louie, Louie, me gotta go. 3/17/93 Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds 7/23/94 (John Lennon, Paul McCartney) Picture yourself a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone. Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah, ah Follow her downto a bridge by the fountain where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies. Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high. Newspaper taxis appear on shore Wait to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds And you're gone. Picture yourself on a train in a station With plasticine porters with looking glass ties, Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile, The girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Love in the Afternoon (John Kahn, Robert Hunter) Love, love in the afternoon Outside the window an organ grinder's tune Rhythm, wine; touch of Jamaica, twilight time with a Kingston lady All the time in the world for me and that girl Sweet, she sang sweetly; come back soon Come back for more of that love in the afternoon Breezes blow by me in the afternoon She sings sweetly an organ grinder's tune Finally recovered from last year's round of bye bye baby blues All I crave today some love in the afternoon Love, love in the afternoon It's easy as she goes, like an organ grinder's tune Gone with the moon any old trouble it can't leave too soon Trouble's no part of what I want 'specially in the afternoon Singin', sleepin' till two Wakin' to make more love in the afternoon 6/11/69 Mama Tried 3/20/94 (Merle Haggard) The first I remember knowin' was that lonesome whistle blowin' And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride. On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I was bound No one could steer me right, but mama tried. Was the only rebel child from a family meek and mild Mama seemed to know what lay in store In spite of all my Sunday learnin' For the bad I kept on turnin' and mama couldn't hold me anymore. And I turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' I denied That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried. Dear old daddy rest his soul, left my mom a heavy load She tried so very hard to fill his shoes Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best Oh she tried to raise me right, but I refused. And I turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' I denied That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried. 7/2/81 Man Smart, Women Smarter 7/21/94 (Norman Span) Let us put men and women together, see which one is smarter, Some say men, but I say no, women got the men like a puppet show. It ain't me it's the people that say, men are leading women astray, I say, it's the women today, smarter than the men in every way, That's right the women are smarter, the women are smarted that's right. Little boy sitting in the corner and cry, big man come and ask him why, He said "I can't do what the big boys do", the man sat down and he cried too. It ain't me it's the people that say, men are leading women astray, I say, it's the women today, smarter than the men in every way. That's right the women are smarter, the women are smarted that's right Ever since the world began women been imitating the ways of men, But listen cause I've got a plan, give it up just don't try to understand. It ain't me it's the people that say, men are leading women astray, I say, it's the women today, smarter than the men in every way. That's right the women are smarter, the women are smarted that's right. 12/19/69 Mason's Children 2/14/70 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Mason died on Monday, we bricked him in the wall All his children grew and grew, they ain't never grown so tall before They may never grow so tall again We dug him up on Tuesday, he hardly aged a day Taught us all we ever knew, we ain't never known so much before We may never know so much again The wall collapsed on Wednesday, we chalked it up to fate Mason's children ran and flew, they ain't never run so fast before Swore they'd never show their face again Mason was a mighty man, a mighty man was he Always said when I'm dead I'm gone, don't you weep for me Thursday came then Friday, with buyers tall and bright Mason's children cooked the stew and cleaned up when the feast was through Take me to the repo-man to pay back what is owed If he's in some other land write it off as stole 4/13/83 Maybe You Know 4/21/86 (Brent Mydland) Have you ever wanted something, wanted it so fuckin' bad. That you'd lie, that you'd cheat, that you'd fight in the street. A chance to lose what little you had. Maybe you know I'll be there, maybe you know I'll be there Maybe you know I'll be there, compared to you, I don't seem so mean. I've been hearin' for a long time. I've been hearin' about some loser band. Ain't gettin' younger, but I ain't goin' under. I was promised to rock & roll, this is sad. Time is only wasted, talkin' that will take your life When it all comes down, we're a couple of bums. I know I'll get more tonite. Now you don't owe me 2000 nothin', don't take it so personally. There's only one way to make it today and I'm doing all I can for me. 11/29/70 Me and Bobby McGee 12/31/81 (Kris Kristofferson, Fred Foster) Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train, Feeling nearly faded as my jeans, Bobby flagged a diesel down, just before it rained, Took us all the way to New Orleans. I took my harp on out of my dirty red bandanna, I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues, With them windshield wipers slappin' time, Bobby clappin' hands, We sang every song that driver knew. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do. Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free. Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. Feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee. From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul, Standing right beside me, Lord, in everything I done, Bobby's body kept me from the cold. Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, Lookin' for that home, I hope she finds, And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holding Bobby's body close to mine. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Nothin' was all she left for me. Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. Feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do. Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free. Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. Feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee. 11/29/66 Me and My Uncle 7/31/94 (John Phillips) Me and my uncle went ridin' down, South Colorado, West Texas bound. We stopped over in Santa Fe, That bein' the point just about half way, And you know it was the hottest part of the day. I took the horses up to the stall, Went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all. Three days in the saddle, you know my body hurt, It bein' summer, I took off my shirt, And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt. West Texas cowboys, they's all around, With liquor and money, they loaded down. So soon after payday, know it seemed a shame; You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game, High-low jack and the winner take the hand. My uncle starts winnin'; cowboys got sore. One of them called him, and then two more, Accused him of cheatin'; Oh no, it couldn't be. I know my uncle, he's as honest as me, And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be. One of them cowboys, he starts to draw, And I shot him down, Lord he never saw. Well I grabbed a bottle, cracked him in the jaw, Shot me another, oh damn he won't grow old. In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold, And we high-tailed it down to Mexico. I love those cowboys, I love their gold, I loved my uncle, God rest his soul, Taught me good, Lord, Taught me all I know Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road. Mercy of a Fool She reclines, closing her eyes the silhouette is bound to Writhe Light birds and fireflies settle around her Days grow, long strange feeling, waterfalls shine this time of year Our lives go down the stream, shooting the rapids bright as gold The arms you gave me bright as the eye of the hurricane We're all just the sage going. Every moment is perfect, no sin is a jewel If man is a prophet at the mercy of a fool Watching seasons go as sunshine turns blue and blue so close The great ghost feeling the music is Every beat knows its part, keep its spirit in a circle The moment is perfect, the eye's a jewel If man is a prophet with the mercy of a fool 10/19/71 Mexicali Blues 7/21/94 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) Laid back in an old saloon, with a peso in my hand, Watchin' flies and children on the street, And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile, There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet. And it's three days ride from Bakersfield and I don't know why I came. I guess I came to keep from payin' dues. So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen, And a damn good case of the Mexicali Blues. Yeh! Is there anything a man don't stand to lose, When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze, Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today. She said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town. I didn't know a stage line ran from Hell. She had raven hair, a ruffled dress, a necklace made of gold, All the French perfume you'd care to smell. She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear, "Go on, my friend, do anything you choose." Now I'm payin' for those happy hours I spent there in her arms, With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali Blues. Is there anything a man don't stand to lose, When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today. And then a man rode into town, some thought he was the law. Billy Jean was waitin' when he came. She told me he would take her, if I didn't use my gun, I'd have no one but myself to blame. I went down to those dusty streets, blood was on my mind. I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news Cause I shot first and killed him, Lord, he didn't even draw And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues. Is there anything a man don't stand to lose When he lets a woman hold him in her hands? He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands. 1/7/66 Midnight Hour 7/31/94 (Wilson Pickett, Steve Cropper) I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour That's when my love comes tumbling down I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour When there's nobody else around I'm gonna take you girl and hold you Do all things I told you in the midnight hour I'm gonna hold you in my arms and see the twinkle in your eyes I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour That's when my love begins to shine You're the only girl I know Really love you so in the midnight hour Midnight Moonlight If you ever feel lonesome when you're down in San Antone Beg, steal or borrow two nickels or dime to call me on the phone And I'll meet you at Alamo Mission, where we can say our prayers The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will heal us as we kneel there In the moonlight, in the midnight, in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight If you ever feel sorrow for the deeds you have done With no hope for tomorrow in the setting of the sun And the ocean is howling for the things that might have been And that last good morning sunrise will be the brightest you've ever seen In the moonlight, in the midnight, in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight 6/3/76 Might As Well 3/23/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Great North Special, would you all board You can't find a ride like that no more, The night the chariot swung down low Ninety-nine children had a chance to go. One long party from front to end Tune to the whistle going round the bend, No great hurry, what do you say? Might as well to be every way. Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well. Ragtime slowly for twenty-five miles Then switch over to the cajun style Bar car blowing rhythm and blues, Rock 'n' roll wailing in the old caboose. Long train running from coast to coast Bringing home a party when you need it the most Work on the box car, beat on the bell Nothing else shaking so you might just as well. Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well. Never had such a good time in my life before 2000 I'd like to have it one time more Whoa! One good ride from start to end, I'd like to take that ride again, again! Ran out of track and I caught the plane Back in the county with the blues again Great North Special been on my mind I might like to ride it just one more time. Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well. 6/4/74 Mission in the Rain 6/29/76 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) I turn and walk away then I come 'round again It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same. I must turn down your offer but I'd like to ask a break You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take. Someone called my name you know I turned around to see It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me. Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain, Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain, Ten years ago, I walked this street my dreams were riding tall Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dream at all. Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true But everything you gather is just more that you can lose. Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain, Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain, All the things I planned to do I only did half way Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday. There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same. Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain. 7/16/72 Mississippi Half Step Uptown Toodeloo 8/3/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) On the day when I was born Daddy sat down and cried. I had the mark just as plain as day; which could not be denied. They say that Cain caught Abel rollin' loaded dice; Ace of Spades behind his ear and him not thinkin' twice. Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way. If all you got to live for is what you left behind, Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine. Lost my boots in transit, baby, pile of smokin' leather. I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather. Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way. They say that when your ship comes in, the first man takes the sails; Second takes the afterdeck, the third, the planks and rails. What's the point of callin' shots; this cue ain't straight in line. Cue ball's made of styrofoam and no one's got the time. Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way. Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river. Mississippi Moon (Peter Rowan) You tell me you're lonely I know how you feel Leaning up at the bars Rocking back on my heels She's a wild bird who wandered Too easy to stray I knew she had to lose me To find her own way Oh, Corey, I'll be coming soon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon A wave on the ocean A whirlwind on the sand I took a notion That her ship would not land So light me a candle In the forest so deep Honey lay down beside me Angels rock us to sleep Oh, Corey, I'll be coming soon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon 7/31/71 Mister Charlie 5/26/72 (Ron McNernan, Robert Hunter) I take a little powder, take a little salt, put it in my shotgun, I go walkin' Jubba jubba, wolly bully, looking high, looking low, Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me so. I won't even take your life, won't even take a limb, Just unload my shotgun, take a little skin. Jubba jubba, wolly bully, looking high, looking low, Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me so. Well you take my silver dollar, take those silver dimes, Fix it up together in some alligator wine. I can hear the drums, voodoo all night long, Mister Charlie tells me I can't do nothing wrong. Jubba jubba, wolly bully, looking high, looking low, Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me so. Now Mister Charlie told me, won't you like to know, Give you little warning before I let you go. Jubba jubba, wolly bully, looking high, looking low, Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me so. Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie, Mister Charlie told me so. 5/17/74 Money, Money 5/21/74 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) My baby gives me the finance blues, Tax me to the limit of my revenues. Here she comes finger-poppin', clickety-click She says furs or diamonds, you take your pick. She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, Money money, money money money. Money money, money money money. She say, "Money, honey", I'd rob a bank, I just load my gun and mosey down to the bank. Knockin' off my neighborhood savings and load, To keep my sweet chiquita in eau de cologne. She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, Money money, money money money. Money money, money money money. Mama don't send me down to rob that bank again, I got a notion that your leadin' me to sin. Won't you relax, won't you lay way back, Don't you bug your honey 'bout no Cadillac. It's only bucks, you don't need no jack. So won't you please relax and lay way back. My baby's lovin' gives me such a thrill; It gives me inspiration makin' counterfeit bills. Now some folks say the best things in life are free, I sure don't get no lovin' livin' honestly. She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, Money money, money money money. Money money, money money money. Lord made a lady out of Adam's rib, next thing you know, you got women's lib. Lovely to look upon, Heaven to touch; It's a real shame that they got to cost so much. 12/19/69 Monkey and the Engineer 2/12/89 (Jesse Fuller) Once upon a time there was an engineer. Drove a locomotive both far and near. Accompanied by a monkey that would sit on a stool Watching everything the engineer would do One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat, He left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat, The monkey pulled the throttle, the locomotive jumped the gun And did 80 miles an hour down the mainline run. Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line. Big locomotive No. 99, left the engineer with a worried mind. The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone, To tell him all about his locomotive was gone. Dispatcher got on the wire, switch operator to the right, Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight. The switch operator got the message on time, Said there's a Northbound livin' on the same main line, Open up the switch I'm gonna let him through the hole, Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control. Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line. Big locomotive No. 99, left the engineer with a worried mind. 1/14/67 Morning Dew 7/20/94 (Bonnie Dobson) Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, Walk me out in the morning dew today.

You didn't hear no baby cry this morning, You didn't hear no baby cry today. Where have all the people gone my honey, Where have all the people g 2000 one today.

Say it might have been a fiddle or it could have been the wind But there seems to be a beat now I can feel it my feet now Listen here it comes again! There's a band out on the highway, They're high steppin' into town It's a rainbow full of sound, It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns Everybody dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands. Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine, You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord The band kept us too busy we forgot about the time. They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir People joining hand in hand While the music played the band, Lord They're setting us on fire. Crazy rooster crowin' midnight, Balls of lightin' roll along Old men sing about their dreams, Women laugh and children scream And the band keeps playin' on. Keep on dancin' thru the daylight, Greet the mornin' air with song No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone. Was it ever there at all? But they keep on dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday, And the corn's a bumper crop And the fields are full of dancin' Full of singin' and romancin' The music never stopped. 11/8/70 My Babe 11/8/70 (Willie Dixon) My baby don't stand no foolin' with love. 11/8/70 Mystery Train 11/8/70 (Phillips, Parker) Train I ride, sixteen coaches long. Train I ride, sixteen coaches long. Well, the woman I love, she's on that train and gone. Train I ride, rollin' down the track. Train I ride, rollin' down the track. It took my baby, and it's never comin' back. Well I went to the station, to meet my baby at the gate Asked the station master, "Is your train running late?" She said she'd be waiting on the 5:45 Well, I hate to tell you boys that train don't stop here no more. Mystery train, rolling down the track. Mystery train, rolling down the track. It took my Baby, you know it ain't bringing her home. Heard that whistle blow across the middle of the night When I got down to the station the train was way out of sight. New Minglewood Blues I was born in a desert, Raised in a lion's den And my number one occupation is stealing women from their other men If your down in Memphis, you best stop down minglewood When I take a walk down there, all the women sure look good If you can't believe me, it'll make it hard to believe in you Cause we all need each other, well you know it's true 6/6/70 New Orleans 6/21/84 (Frank Guido, Joe Royster) Well, come on everybody take a trip with me Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans They got the honeysuckle blaming on the honeysuckle vine And love is blaming there all the time They got the French boys swinging from a big old tree Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans Well, come on take a stroll down on Basin Street And listen to the music and the Dixieland beat Oh, Magnolia blossom fills the air And you ain't been to heaven if you ain't been there Every Southern Belle is a Mississippi Queen Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans 1/27/67 New Potato Caboose 5/9/69 (Robert M. Peterson) Last leaf fallen bare earth where green was born, Black Madonna two eagles hang against a cloud, Sun comes up blood red wind yells among the stone, All graceful instruments are known. When the windows all are broken and your love's become a toothless crone, When the voices of the storm sound like a crowd, Winter morning breaks, you're all alone. The eyes are blind, blue visions, all a seer can own, And touching makes the flesh to cry out loud This ground on which the seed of love is sown, All graceful instruments are known. 12/20/69 New Speedway Boogie 7/31/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Please don't dominate the rap, jack, if you've got nothing new to say. If you please, don't back up the track this train's got to run today. I spent a little time on the mountain, I spent a little time on the hill I heard someone say "Better run away", others say "better stand still". Now I don't know, but I been told it's hard to run with the weight of gold, Other hand I have heard it said, it's just as hard with the weight of lead. Who can deny, who can deny, it's not just a change in style? One step down and another begun and I wonder how many miles. I spent a little time on the mountain, I spent a little time on the hill Things went down we don't understand, but I think in time we will. Now, I don't know but I was told in the heat of the sun a man died of cold. Keep on coming or stand and wait, with the sun so dark and the hour so late. You can't overlook the lack, jack, of any other highway to ride. It's got no signs or dividing lines and very few rule to guide. I spent a little time on the mountain, I spent a little time on the hill I saw things getting out of hand, I guess they always will. Now I don't know but I been told If the horse don't pull you got to carry the load. I don't know whose back's that strong, maybe find out before too long. One way or another, one way or another, One way or another, this darkness got to give. 3/19/66 Next Time You See Me 5/26/72 Next time you see me things won't be the same, Next time you see me things won't be the same, If it hurts you my darling, you only got yourself to blame. Well, it's true, true saying, all that shines is not gold. Well, it's true, true saying, all that shines is not gold. Like the good book says, you gotta reap what you sow. Well, you lied, cheated -- woh/oh! for so long, Well, you lied, cheated -- woh/oh! for so long, You were wrong to do it woman, and another queen is on your throne. Next time you see me things won't be the same, Next time you see me things won't be the same, If it hurts you my darling, you only got yourself to blame. Well, it's true, 2000 true saying, all that shines is not gold. Well, it's true, true saying, all that shines is not gold. Like the good book says, you gotta reap what you sow.

We don't make a party out of lovin'; We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo; We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy, Like the hippies out in San Francisco do. I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee, A place where even squares can have a ball. We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all. Leather boots are still in style for mainly footwear; Beads and roman sandals won't be seen. Football's still the roughest thing on campus, And the kids here still respect the college dean. And I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee, A place where even squares can have a ball. We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all. We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA. 4/6/71 Oh Boy 12/12/81 (Buddy Holly) All my love, all my kissin' you don't know what you been missing Oh boy, when you're with me Oh boy, all the world would see that you were meant for me All my life I've been waitin', tonight there will be no hesitatin' Oh boy, when you're with me Oh boy, all the world would see that you were meant for me Stars up here and the shadow is fallin' You can hear my heart's been callin' Little bit lonely every things right I'm gonna see my baby tonight 1/7/66 On The Road Again 10/12/84 (Traditional) Why I married me a bad girl, tell you the reason why Bad girls will even do things on the sly Look for your supper to be good and hot She never even put a stew bone in the pot She's on the road again, sure as you're born Natural born easy on the road again Friend come by, say looking for his hat Wants to know where your husband's at I don't know, he's on his way to the pen Come on pretty mama, let's get on the road again Went to my house the front door was locked Went 'round to my window, but my window was locked Jumped right back, shook my head, Big old rounder in my folding bed Jumped into the window, broke the glass Never seen that little rounder run so fast Come on pretty mama, let's get on the road again 3/12/66 One Kind Favor / See That My Grave is Kept Clean 12/1/66 (Traditional) There is one kind favor I ask of you One kind favor I ask of you One kind favor I ask of you See that my grave is kept clean Have you ever heard a church bell tone?

Uhuh, Hey! Saturday Night! Yeh, uhuh one more Saturday night, Hey Saturday night! Everybody's dancin' down the local armory With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery. The temperature keeps risin', everybody gittin' high; Come the rockin' stroke of midnite, the whole place gonna fly. Uhuh, Hey! Saturday Night! Yeh, uhuh one more Saturday night, Hey Saturday night! Turn on channel six, the President comes on the news, Says, "I get no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues." His wife say "Don't get crazy, Lord, you know just what to do, Crank up that old Victrola, put on them rockin' shoes." Uhuh, Hey! Saturday Night! Yeh, uhuh one more Saturday night, Hey Saturday night! Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth, Thought He'd have a big old party, thought He'd call it planet Earth. Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes, When the rock and roll music meets the risin' sun. One Thing To Try Break out your bottle, be in trouble by noon Never get satisfaction cause ya boil too soon Them downtown chippies know your weight to the ounce But the harder you fall, Jack, the higher you bounce! Stoke up your get, be ready to ride Keep your head and your heart inside Take it as far as you wanna go Until w 2000 e can't see the desert for the burning snow But if you're in a hurry, I really go to go, If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try, another to fly, You get there quicker just a step at a time, It's one thing to bark and another to bite, The show ain't over til you pack up at night. Ah well, ninety-nine people all running around Not one in a hundred got his feet on the ground, In fact one in a thousand holding some in reserve For when the real, true action comes around the curve. Take care of your people, get some of them fed Hide the ones in trouble out under your bed Keep an eye to the future, an ear to the past Cause after thinkin' it over, know there's nothing much lasts. So if you're in a hurry, I really go to go If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try, another to fly, You get there quicker just a step at a time, It's one thing to bark and another to bite, The show ain't over til you pack up at night. Don't ever let it get the best of you Plan what you can, let the rest shine through Just so many angles you can possibly see Got to figure on those let the other ones be Don't be a collector of more than you need Got a lot of things growing but keep watching your seeds Got to sprout in December what you planted in May If the harvest is empty, find some other good way But if you're in a hurry, I really go to go, If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try, another to fly, You get there quicker just a step at a time, It's one thing to bark and another to bite, The show ain't over til you pack up at night. 8/18/70 Operator 11/8/70 (Ron McNernan) Operator, can you help me, help me if you please.

"Good luck" but you don't mean it When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed Why don't you just come out once and scream it No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place Don't you understand it's not my problem I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes And just for that one moment I could be you Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes You'd know what a drag it is to see you (never played live) Pride of Cucamonga (never played live) (Phil Lesh, Robert Hunter) Out on the edge of an empty highway, howling at the blood on the moon, Big diesel Mack truck rolling down my way, can't hit that border too soon. Running hard out of Muskrat Flats, it was sixty days or double life, Hail on my back like a shotgun blast, high wind chimes in the night. Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga, oh, oh bitter olives in the sun, Oh, oh I had me some lovin', and I done some time. Since I came down from Oregon, there's a lesson or two I've learned By standing in the road alone, standing watching the fires burn. The northern sky it stinks with greed, you can smell it for miles around, Good ole boys in the Greystone Hotel, sitting doing that git on down. Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga, of, of silver apples in the sun, Oh, oh I had me some lovin', and I done some time. I see your silver shining town, but I know I can't go there -- Your streets run deep with poisoned wine, your doorways crawl with fear. So I think I'll drift for ol' where it's at, where the weed grows green and fine And wrap myself around a bush of that bright, whoa, on Oaxaca vine. Yes, it's me, I'm the Pride of Cucamonga, I can see golden forests in the sun. 5/29/71 Promised Land 8/3/94 (Chuck Berry) I left my home in Norfolk Virginia, California on my mind. Straddled that Greyhound, it rode me past Raleigh, and on across Caroline. Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill, and we never was a minute late. We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown, rollin' 'cross the Georgia state. Had motor trouble it turned into a struggle, half way 'cross Alabam, the 'hound broke down left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham. Straight off bought me a through train ticket, right across Mississippi clean And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham Smoking into New Orleans. Somebody help me get out of Louisiana Just help me get to Houston town. People are there who care a little 'bout me And they won't let the poor boy down. Sure as she bore me, she bought me a silk suit, put luggage in my hands, And I woke up high over Albuquerque On a jet to the promised land. Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte, Flying over to the Golden State; When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes We'd be headin' in the terminal gate. Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy Taxi to the terminal zone; Cut your engines, cool your wings, And let me make it to the telephone. Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia, Tidewater four ten on nine Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin' And the poor boy's on the line. Promontory Rider (Robert Hunter) Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger. Promontory Rider, whats makes you ride so high? Put a loving star back in an empty sky. Once the wind was warm and sweet, the ladies in lace. Up there on the prominence the tears just freeze your face. From a statutory picture, passport out of hell. Left here by a stranger, seem to wish as well. Sighed, Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger. Asked me, "Can you thread a needle? Can you shoot the moon?" Walk the silver screen, be a judgement at high noon? Like any Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger, step up. Ride on, ride on, ride Ride upon the high ground, ride upon the low. Promontory Rider what makes you ride so slow? Pick me out with harden wings and fill my head with crowds. I been crawlin' in this scene, but now I'm rollin' down. Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger. Promontory Rider used to ride so high. I don't know these days just seem to ride on by. Once the wind was warm and sweet, but this must be your place. Cause you don't change this chilly range, for any other place. Say, Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger. Ride on, ride on, ride. Promontory Rider, whats makes you ride so high? Put a loving star back in an empty sky. Movin' on the high ground, movin' on the low. But Promontory Rider that was many years ago. Pick me out with harden wings and fill my head with crowds. I been crawlin' in this scene, but not I'm rollin' down. Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger. Movin' on the high ground, movin' on the low ground. Promontory Rider step so high I know I oculd be right and I maybe wrong. But I'll think I'll miss you when your gone. ABC WXYZ can ask for cover, just don't see me 7/4/87 Queen Jane Approximately 7/26/94 (Bob Dylan) When your mother sends back all your invitations And your father to your sister he explains That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you And the smell of their roses does not remain And all of your children start to resent you Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned Have died in battle or in vain And you're sick of all this repetition Won't you come see me Queen Jane?

When all of your advisers heave their plastic At your feet to convince you of your pain Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Now when all the bandits that you turned your other cheek to All lay down their bandanas and complain And you want somebody you don't have to speak to Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Queen Of Santa Fe I When I was a boy about seventeen I went down to the railroad yard I hopped on Santa Fe Queen all the way to Boston for coal mines I lit out from my home I hitch hiked to Statson I went around there, found me a yard, I asked the old hobo, said: Said, "I don't care, man, I just ride the ride." Queen Of Santa Fe II (Poor Michael Went Down) Well y 2000 ou know I left my home when I was seventeen years of age Started hitch hiking from San Francisco down to L.A. And I, I met this man giving me a ride Amd finally got me by my side said, "Hey son have a dime." I say, "Thank you" and he was on his way So I got down in the big cities and I was trying to get myself a job But there wasn't no jobs around I couldn't seem to find anyway to make guineas And this man at the gas station, he says, "Son you need yourself a job?" and I said "Mr. I surely do." He said "Welcome in, I give you a dollar and a 1/4 an hour" That's sure good handling that time So I worked in the gas station for a while And I got myself a Plymouth mobile, yes I did That was comin' on pretty good up to one day I kind of let down on my lovin' down for a 1/4 an hour Couldn't go far out working overtime I need a lot of money That lot of money I don't know what to do So I met one of these guys who'd walk around in the neighborhood Behind this other gas station we figure we'd check it out pretty good So we decided we're gonna rob this gas station Because there was no other way ot get no money And then one night when there was no one around We went over there on that side of town And we broke into that gas station and we robbed the cash register And just at that time we're making our escape Here come a policeman walking up the street He yelled "Halt!" and we got scared we threw the money up in the air We started running and he started too He's hollering "halt!" and then he began to shoot. I was lucky I got over a fence My other friend made it around the corner, but my other buddy he went down And Michael you should have stopped when the man told you Because if that bullet wouldn't have hit you You would have been living and what I'm trying to say now Is that if you find yourself in a situation Where you could get killed or you could live, Live if you cried Cause Michael went down by the old man's bullet He didn't have to go down if he were to stop We had some pride wouldn't let him quit that runnin' But now Michael's in the ground. Michael why did you keep on runnin'? Michael your pride done got you killed You should have knowed that cop had a pistol on his side Why didn't you stop before you was killed? 12/30/85 Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) 7/29/94 (Bob Dylan) Everybody's building the big ships and the boats. Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes. Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy, But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here everybody's gonna jump for joy. Come all without, come all within. You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn. Now I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet. But guarding fumes and making haste, it ain't my cup of meat. Everybody's just standing around 'neath the trees feeding pigeons on a limb. But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, all the pigeons gonna run to him. Come all without, come all within. You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn. A cat's meow and a cow's moo, I can't recite 'em all. Just tell me where it hurts and I'll tell you who to call. Nobody can get any sleep, there's someone on everybody's toes. But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna wanna doze. Come all without, come all within. You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn. Come all without, come all within. You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn. 6/11/69 The Race Is On 5/4/91 (Don Rollins) I feel tears welling up from down deep inside, Like my heart's got a big break And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake. You might think that I'm taking it hard since you broke me off with a call, You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow and I might lay right down and bawl. Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, Heartaches a goin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, tryin' not to fall. My heart's out of the running, true love scratched for another's sake, The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all. One day I ventured in love never once suspecting What the final result would be. Now I live in fear of waking up each morning, And finding that you're gone from me. There's an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face, Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place. Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, Heartaches a goin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, tryin' not to fall. My heart's out of the running, true love scratched for another's sake, The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all. Rain (Donna Godcheaux) Here I am, on the lam ready to go Brighter days have hurried me along, nobody's wrong Love stays the same a heart's not to blame nothing is over Now it don't worry me at all there's just got to be Some kind of overflow nobody falls People, we cry, when wells go dry it threatens tomorrow Try and find some ways to ease the fright, burn into the night But maybe a little rain would soothe the pain and drown our sorrows And looking straight at all that lives again Until we get our fill of overflows, nobody knows In search of love, the seasons above have taken to wander Unlike the ones we used to know, where did they go? Well, here I am, on the lam, low overflow Brighter days have hurried me along To see the rain come shinning through, nobody's blue Oh seagull, tis an hour of plight Energy from your wing helps bring the rain Call on your brotherhood of flight and let it rain all nights Oh sky lookin clear and bright, Moon, with your own true light Turn the tides and rain all night, Turn the tides and rain all night. 12/2/94 Rain 7/29/94 (John Lennon, Paul McCartney) Chorus: Rai-ai-ai-ain I don't mind Sun-u-u-un The weather's fine When the rain comes, they run and hide their heads Might as well be Dead When the rain comes When the Rain comes When the sun shine, they step into the shade, sip their lemonade When the sun shines When the sun shines Chorus: I can show you When it starts to rain Everythings the same I could show you I could show you Chorus: Can you hear me When its rain or shine Its just a state of mind Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Chorus: 10/19/71 Ramble On Rose 7/27/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand, Just like Billy Sunday, in a shotgun ragtime band, Just like New York City, just like Jerico, Pace the halls and climb the walls and get out when they blow.

Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose. I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime, I know this song it ain't never gonna end. I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line, Take you to the leader of a band. Goodbye Mama and Papa Goodbye Jack and Jill The grass ain't greener The wine ain't sweeter Either side of the hill. Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose. 10/12/ 2000 83 Revolution 11/8/85 (John Lennon, Paul McCartney) You say you want a revolution, well you know, we all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution, well you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don't you know that you can count me out Don't you know it's gonna be alright, alright, alright.

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken, Perhaps they're better left unsung. I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air. Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow. Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, If your cup is full may it be again, Let it be known there is a fountain, That was not made by the hands of men. There is a road, no simple highway, Between the dawn and the dark of night, And if you go no one may follow, That path is for your steps alone. Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow. You who choose, to lead must follow, But if you fall you fall alone, If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home. La dee da da da, La da da da da, Da da da, Da da, Da da da da da La da da da, La da da, Da da, La da da da, La da, Da da. 3/21/86 Roadrunner 3/31/86 (Holland, Dozier, Holland) Money, who needs it, let me live a life free and easy Put the toothbrush in my hand and let me be a travelling man I'm a road runner, I'm a road runner baby, can't stay in one place too long I'm a road runner, one look at me and I'll be gone Well you can love me if you want to, but I do declare When I get restless I got to move somewhere Yes, I'm a road runner baby, got to keep on keeping on And I love the life I live and I'm gonna live the life I love Don't want love to tie me down, you know I got to be free to roam around All my life I've been like this, you can love me at your own risk When the dust hits my shoes, I got the urge to move I'm a road runner baby, got to keep on keeping on And I love the life I live and I'm gonna live the life I love I'm a road runner baby, got to keep on keeping on I'm a road runner, one look at me and I'll be gone You can love me if you want to, but I do declare When I get restless I got to move somewhere Since I'm a road runner baby, got to keep on keeping on And I love the life I live and I'm gonna live the life I love Road runner, yeah 5/23/72 Rockin' Pneumonia 9/3/72 (John Vincent, Huey Smith) I wanna jump, but I'm afraid I'll fall.

All around the garden grew scarlet and purple and crimson and blue. She came dead and she went, and at last went away, the garden was sealed when the flowers decayed. On the wall of the garden a legend did say, no one may come here since no one maystay. 2/9/73 Row Jimmy 7/31/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Julie catch a rabbit by his hair Come back steppin' like to walk on air Get back home where you belong And don't you run off no more.

Rubin and Cherise (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down It was the afternoon of carnival as she brushes it gently down Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade played in the carnival parade Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white When a fatal vision gripped her tight Cherise beware tonight Rubin, Rubin tell me truly true I feel afraid and I don't know why I do, Is there another girl for you? If you could see my heart you would know it's true There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, say I fall down cold When Rubin played on his painted mandolin The breeze would pause to listen in before going on its way again Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke Like waves against the bandstand, dancers broke to the painted mandolin Looking out to the crowd who is standing there Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared was dressed as Pirouette in red And her hair hung gently down The crowd pressed round, Ruby stood as though alone Rubin's song took on a different tone and he played it just for her The song he played was the carnival parade Each note cut a thread of Cherise's fate it cut through like a blade Rubin was playing his painted mandolin When Ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings played all alone The voice of Cherise from the face of the mandolin Singing Rubin, Rubin tell me true for I have no one but you If you could see my heart you would know it true There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, say I fall down cold The truth of love an unsung song must tell The course of love must follow blind without a look behind Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn Cherise so lightly in his arms and her hair hung gently down Run for the Roses (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Run,run, run for the roses, the bigger it opens, the sooner it closes. Meddle, meddle, friend of mine, all good things in all good time. Reach for the sun, catch hold of the moon. That ball too heavy, but what can you do. Reach for the stars, smack into the sky. You don't want to live but you're chicken to die. Ohhh, you're chicken to die. Run, run, run for the roses, the bigger it opens the sooner it closes. Meddle, meddle, friend of mine, all good things in all good time. Run for the money, caught short on the rent. Big ideas, but the cash is all spent. The trouble with love is it's on vase. You just want a cup, but you don't want to race. No, you don't want to race. Run,run, run for the roses, the bigger it opens, the sooner it closes. Meddle, meddle, friend of mine, all good things in all good time. Run for the roses, get caught on the briar. You wanted to love, next thing there's a fire. You got the Do Re, I got the Mi. I got the notion we're all at sea. Yes, we're all at sea. Run, run, run for the roses, the bigger it opens, the sooner it closes. Meddle, meddle, friend of mine, all good things in all good time. 12/4/71 Run Rudolph Run 12/15/71 (Chuck Berry) Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind Run, run Rudolph, Randalph's not too far behind Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town Randalph he can hurry, he can take the freeway down And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?" "All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar" And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town Can't you make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round Said Santa to a girl child "What would you like most to get?" "I want a little baby doll that can cry, scream and wet" And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, a running like a son-of-a-gun. 8/31/79 Saint of Circumstance 7/29/94 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) This must be heaven, tonight I cross the line. You must be the angel, I though I might never find. Was it you I heard singing, Oh while I was chasin' dreams. Driven by the wind, like the dust that blows around, And the rain fallin' down, but I never know. Got to be heaven, cause here's where the rainbow ends. If this ain't the real thing, then it's close enough to pretend. When that wind blows, when the night's about to fall. You can hear the silence call, it's a certain sort of sound, Like the rain fallin' down. Holes in what's left of my reason, holes in the knees of my blues. Odds against me been increasin', but I'll pull through. I never could read no road map, I don't know what the weather might do. But when that rich wind whines and I see the dark star shine, I got a feeling there's no time to lose, no time to lose. Never know now, just don't never know, no. Well it's been heaven, but even the rainbows will end. Now my sails are fillin' and the wind is willin'. And I'm as good as gone again. I'm still walkin', so I'm sure that I can dance. Just a Saint of Circumstance, just a tiger in a trance. And the rain fallin' down, well, you never know, just don't know. Listen, sure don't know what I going for, but I'm gonna go for it for sure... 6/7/68 Saint Stephen 10/31/83 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter, Phil Lesh) Saint Stephen with a rose, in and out of the garden he goes, Country garden in the wind and the rain, Wherever he goes the people all complain. Stephen prosper in his time, well he may and he may decline. Did it matter, does it now? Stephen would answer if he only knew how. Wishing well with a golden bell, bucket hanging clear to hell, Hell halfway twixt now and then, Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again. Lady finger, dipped in moonlight, writing "What for?" across the morning sky. Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer, darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye. Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow, What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned. Several seasons with their treasons, Wrap the babe in scarlet colors, call it your own. Did he doubt or did he try? Answers aplenty in the bye and bye, Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills, One man gathers what another man spills. Saint Stephen will remain, all he's lost he shall regain, Seashore washed by the suds and foam, Been here so long, he's got to calling it home. Fortune comes a crawlin', calliope woman, spinnin' that curious sense of your own. Can you answer? Yes I can. But what would be the answer to the answer man? 7/8/94 Samba in the Rain 8/3/94 (Robert Hunter, Vince Welnick) Ten and ten is thirty if you tell me it is so Let's get down and dirty, baby Let's get sweet and low Any way you call the shot That's how it's gonna be You can serve it cold or hot It's all okay by me Tie me with a ribbon bow Wrap me in cellophane Send me out to steal the show or Samba in the Rain Samba in the rain oh baby Samba in the rain Let's get down and dirty Don't bother to explain Don't care if they call a cop and say we are insane we'll keep goin' til we drop Samba in the rain How many hours in a day They tell me twenty four There could be a couple less I know there ain't no more We can do the dirty bop 2000 The Darktown Strutter's Ball Just as long as we don't stop We'll dance right up the wall We can do the bump and grind The Apache in Spain We can do the never mind or Samba in the rain Samba in the rain oh baby Samba in the rain Let's get down and dirty Don't bother to explain Don't care if they call a cop and say we are insane we'll keep goin' til we drop Samba in the rain 9/17/66 The Same Thing 8/1/94 (Willie Dixon) What makes a man go crazy when a woman wears her dress so tight What makes a man go crazy when a woman wears that ol' dress so tight Must be the same ol' thing that make a tom cat fight all night Now, why do all the big men try to run a big-legged woman down Now, why do all the big men try to run a big ol' woman down Must be the same ol' thing that makes a bulldog a huggling 'round It's that ol' same thing, now tell me who's to blame The whole world is fighting about that ol' same thing What make you feel so good when your baby's in her evening gown When your baby get a little bit of an evening gown Must be that same ol' thing that makes a preacher lay his bible down It's that ol' same thing, it's that ol' same thing 6/3/76 Samson and Delilah 7/31/94 (Traditional) If I had my way, I would tear this old building down. Well Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair, She had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair, Delilah she gained old Samson's mind. When first he saw this woman, you know he couldn't believe his mind. Delilah she climbed up on Samson's knee, Said tell me where your strength lies if you please. She spoke so kind and she talked so fair, Well Samson said, Delilah cut off my hair. You can shave my head, clean as my hand And my strength will become as natural as any old man. If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way, I would tear this old building down. You read about Samson, all from his works, He was the strongest man that ever had lived on earth. One day when Samson was walking along, Looked down on the ground, he saw an old jawbone. He stretched out his arm, God knows, chains broke like thread, When he got to moving, ten thousand was dead. If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way, I would tear this old building down. Now Samson and the lion, they got in a tack, Samson he crawled up on the lion's back. You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws, But Samson got his hands around that lion's jaws. He ripped the beast till he killed him dead. The bees made honey in the lion's head. If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way, I would tear this old building down. 11/26/80 Satisfaction 8/1/94 (Keith Richards, Mick Jagger) I can't get no, satisfaction. I can't get no satisfaction. Cause I try and I try and I try and I try, I can't get no, I can't get no. When I'm driving in my car and that man comes on the radio And he's telling me more and more about some useless information Supposed to fire my imagination I can't get no, Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say. When I'm watching my TV and that man comes on to tell me how white my shirts (?) Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me When I'm riding 'round the world and I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that And I'm trying to make some girl Who tells me, baby maybe come back later next week Cause you see I'm on a losing streak Save the Whales When my grandpa was a boy, he went down to the general store. Saw a picture book of whales, shootin' his spout and flashin' his tail. Then he go, a sailor's dream, cruisin' around on the salty sea.

Lovin' and drinkin' in the afternoon, swabbin' the deck and sharpnin' harpoons. Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises. So early in the morning. Lots of whales in the deep blue sea, we kill them for the companies. Drag 'em alongside and chop 'em in two, melt them down and sail it to you. There hardly is a sailor alive, who can keep a tear from his eye. Cause he remembers the good old days when there were no whales to save. Thank the Russians and the Japanese for scouring the deep, blue sea. Lookin' for ivory and perfume, all the light you'll ever need. Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises. So early in the morning. Shanghi got a lot on the move, put out from Boston in the middle of June. Thirty-six months out at sea is nothing but death and misery.

A modern ship and a modern crew, occalascopes and explodin' harpoons. A mechanical boat made of steel, A floatin' machine just to kill all the whales. Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises.

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes. And I knew without askin' she was into the blues. She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls, I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls. In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough, She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff. As I picked up my matches and was closing the door, I had one of those flashes I'd been there before, been there before. Well, I ain't always right but I've never been wrong. Seldom turns out the way it does in a song. Once in a while you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right. Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves, Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues. And there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eyes, I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by,let her pass by. Wind in the willow's playin' "Tea for Two"; The sky was yellow and the sun was blue, Strangers stoppin' strangers just to shake their hand, Everybody's playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band. 11/8/70 Searchin' 4/27/71 (Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller) Well, I've been se 2000 archin', I've been searchin' I've been searchin' every week and day Well, I've been searchin', I've been searchin' I've been searchin' every which way Like the North West Mountain you know I'll bring her in someday Well, if I have to climb a mountain, you know I will And if I have to swim a river, you know I will No matter where she goes, Oh Lord, you know I will And if I have to climb a mountain, you know I will And if I have to swim a river, you know I will I know she's hiding up there If you marry him don't you know I'll find her, child I will Well Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade gonna put that child on me No matter where she's hiding She gonna tell me you're coming I'm gonna walk right down that street just like bulldog jumping Cause I've been searchin', I've been searchin' I've been searchin' every which way Like the North West Mountain you know I'll bring her in someday 8/31/78 Shakedown Street 7/19/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) You tell me this town ain't got no heart. Well, well, well, you can never tell. The sunny side of the street is dark. Well, well, well, you can never tell. Maybe that's cause it's midnight, in the dark of the moon besides.

Takes the dark out of the nighttime, she paints the daytime black. You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees. But you will wind up peeking through a key hole, down upon your bended knees. She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall. She's nobody's child, the law can't touch her at all. She wears an Egyptian ring, that sparkles before she speaks. She's a hypnotist collector, you are a walking antique. Bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes. For Halloween but her a trumpet, and for Christmas, buy her drums. She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back. Takes the dark out of the nighttime, you know she paints the daytime black. 4/19/70 She's Mine 7/12/70 Well she's little and she's low, right down on the ground Well the way she acts makes a rabbit huddle 'round She's mine, well she's mine little and low crippled and she's blind Everybody's laughin' where I go 'cause I'm leading my old lady Down the road, but she's mine Well she's mine little and low poor child crippled and blind She's my baby crippled and blind She's still my girl, she's mine Shining Star (Leo Graham, Paul Richmond) You are my shining star. Don't you go away. Wanna be right here where you are until my dying day. So many have tried, tried to find a love like yours and mine Girl, don't your realize how you hypnotize? Make me, love you more each time. Honey I'll never leave you lonely; give my love to you only, to you only, to you only. Honey, you are my shining star. Don't you go away. Wanna be right here where you are unitl my dying day. Feels so good when we're lying here next to each other, lost in love. Baby, when we touch, love you so much. You're all I ever dreamed of. Honey I'll never leave you lonely; give my love to you only, to you only, to you only. Honey, you are my shining star. Don't you go away. Wanna be right here where you are until my dying day. 2/22/74 Ship of Fools 7/26/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Went to see the captain, strangest I could find, Laid my proposition down, laid it on the line. I won't slave for beggar's pay, likewise gold and jewels, But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools. Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me. It was later than I thought when I first believed you, Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools. Saw your first ship sink and drown, from rockin' of the boat, And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float. I won't leave you drifting down, but woh it makes me wild, With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child. Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me. It was later than I thought when I first believed you, Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools. The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before. Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more. Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few: Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools. Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me. It was later than I thought, when I first believed you, Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools. It was later than I thought when I first believed you, Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools. 4/26/69 Silver Threads and Golden Needles 7/9/70 (Dick Reynolds, Jack Rhodes) I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room All I want's the love you've promised beneath the halo moon But you think I should be happy with your money and your name Sit alone and hide my sorrows while you play your cheatin' game Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine And I dare drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your mind You can't buy my love with money 'cause I ain't never been that kind Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine 7/10/87 Simple Twist Of Fate 7/26/87 (Bob Dylan) They sat together in the park as the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate They walked along by the old canal a little confused, I remember well And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone someplace far off played as she was walkin' by the arcade As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up She dropped a coin into the cup of the blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate He woke up, the room was bare, he didn't see her anywhere He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate He hears t 2000 he ticking of the clocks And walks along with a parrot that talks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait Once more for a simple twist of fate People tell me it's a sin to know and feel too much within I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring She was born in the spring, but I was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate 4/5/71 Sing Me Back Home 9/26/73 (Merle Haggard) The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest And I heard him tell the warden just before they reached my cell Let my guitar playin' friend fill my request Let him sing me back home a song I used to hear. Make my old memories come alive. Sing me away and turn back the year. Sing me home before I die. I recall last Sunday morning when the choir from off the street Came in to sing a few old gospel songs And I heard him tell the singers there's a song my mother sang Can I hear it before you travel on. Sing me back home a song I used to hear. Make my old memories come alive. Sing me away and turn back the year. Sing me back home before I die. Sitting In Limbo (Jimmy Cliff) Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long. Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song. Well they're putting up resistance, but I know that my faith will lead me on. Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the dice to roll. Sitting here in limbo, got some time to search my soul. Well they're putting up resistance but I know that my faith will lead me on. I don't know where life will lead me, but I know where I've been. I can't say what life will show me, but I know what I've seen. Tried my hand at love and friendship, but all that is passed and gone. This little boy is moving on. Sitting here in limbo waiting for the tide to flow. Sitting here in limbo knowing that I have to go. Well they're putting up resistance, but I know that my faith will lead me on.

Do you know what he shot him for? What do you make of that? Cause Billy DeLions threw the lucky dice Won Stagger Lee's Stetson hat. Bayo, Bayo, tell me how can this be? You arrest the girls for turning tricks But you're scared of Stagger Lee. Stagger Lee is a madman and he shot my Billy D. Bayo go get him or give the job to me.

See the gulf of Mexico, as silent as a tear. The coast of California must be somewhere over here. Over here. Standing on the moon, I see the battle rage below, Standing on the moon, I see the soldiers come and go. There's a metal flag beside me, someone planted long ago. Old Glory standing stiffly, crimson, white and indigo. Old Glory standing stiffly, crimson, white and indigo. Indigo. Standing on the moon, I can see El Salvador. I hear the cries of children, and other songs of war. It's like a mighty melody, that rings out from the sky. Standing here upon the moon, I watch it all roll by, all roll by, all roll by, all roll by. Standing on the moon, I see a shadow on the sun. Standing on the moon, the stars go fading one by on. I can hear a cry of victory, another of defeat. A staff on angel lullaby, down some forgotten street. Standing on the moon, where talk is cheap and vision true. Standing on 2000 the moon, but I would rater be with you. Somewhere in San Francisco, on a back porch in July. Just looking up to heaven at this crescent in the sky. In the sky. Standing on the moon, with nothing left to do. A lovely view of heaven, but I'd rather be with you. A lovely view of heaven, but I'd rather be with you. Be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you. Rather be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you. 3/25/66 Stealin' 11/29/66 (Traditional) Well, put your arms around me like a circle in the sun Stay with me baby like my easy rider done. If you don't think I love you look what a fool I've been If you don't think I'm sinking look what a hole I'm in. I'm stealin' pretty mama don't you tell on me I'm stealin' back my good old used-to-be. Well, the woman I love she's about my size She's a married woman, comes to see me sometimes. 6/17/72 Stella Blue 8/1/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) All the years combine, they melt into a dream, A broken angel sings from a guitar. In the end there's just a song comes cryin' up the night Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years. Stella blue. Stella blue. When all the cards are down, there's nothing left to see, There's just the pavement left and broken dreams. In the end there's still that song comes cryin' like the wind. Down every lonely street that's ever been Stella blue. Stella blue. I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel, can't win for trying. Dust off those rusty strings just one more time, Gonna make them shine, shine It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free, There's nothing you can hold, for very long. And when you hear that song come crying like the wind, It seems like all this life was just a dream. Stella blue. Stella blue. 7/4/87 Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again 7/20/94 (Bob Dylan) Ah the rag man draws circles up and down the block. I'd ask him what the matter was and ah did he dum talk. And the ladies treat me kindly and they furnished me with tea. But deep inside my heart I know I can't escape. Oh mama, can this really be the end. To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again. Well Shakespeare he's in the ally with his pointed shoes and his bells. Speaking to some french girl who says she knows me well. And I would send a message to find out if she'd talked. But the post office has been stolen and the mailbox is locked. Oh mama, can this really be the end. To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again. Mona tried to tell me to stay away from the train line. She said that all the railroad men just drink up your blood like wine. And I said oh I didn't know that, but then again there's only one I've met. And he just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarette. Oh mama, can this really be the end. To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again. Grandpa died last week and now he's buried in the rocks. And everybody still talks about how badly they were shocked. But me I expected it to happen, I knew he'd lost control. When he build a fire on Main street and shot it full of holes. Oh mama, can this really be the end. To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again. Now the senator came down here, showing everyone his gun. Handing out free tickets to the wedding of his son. And me I nearly got busted. And wouldn't it be my luck. To get caught without a ticket and be discovered beneath the truck. Ah mama, is this really the end. To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again. Now the teen preacher looked so baffled when I asked him why he'd dressed, With twenty pounds of headlines stapled to his chest. But he cursed me when I proved to him, then I whispered said that not even you can hide. You see your just like me I hope your satisfied. Oh mama, can this really be the end. To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again. Now the rainman gave me two cures, then he said jump right in. The one was Texas medicine, the other was just railroad gin. And like a fool I mixed them, and it strangled up my mind, And people just get uglier, and I have no sense of time. Oh mama, can this really be the end. To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again. When Ruthie says come see her in her honky tonk lagoon. Where I can watch her waltz for free neath a Panamanian moon. And I say ah come on now, you know you know about my debutantes. She says your debutante knows what you need, but I knows what you want. Oh mama, can this really be the end. To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again. Now the bricks lay on Grand street. Where the neon madmen climb. They all fall there so perfectly. It all seems so well timed. And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out past. You have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice. Ah mama, is this really the end. To be stuck here inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again. 6/7/70 Sugar Magnolia 8/31/94 (Bob Weir, Robert Hunter) Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care, Saw my baby down by the river, knew she'd have to come up soon for air. Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you'll abide We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside. She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need, Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed She comes skimmin' through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew, She don't come and I don't follow, waits backstage while I sing to you. Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four wheel drive. She's a summer love for spring, fall and winter. She can make happy any man alive. Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing I'll walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me. She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need, A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, lazing in the sunshine yes indeed. Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying, when the moon is half way down, Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander 'round. Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely, Ride our singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine Sunshine, daydream. Sunshine, daydream. Walking in the sunshine. 7/31/71 Sugaree 7/23/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon 'round When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me You thought you was the cool fool and never could do no wrong Had everything sewed up tight.

With eyes as sharp as arrows and turning to the fire He clears the air and cuts it with a feather. Many in a circle slowly 'round the fire When he is gone I want to know him better. No one is forsaken, no one is a liar, He plants the tree of life on our foreheads with water. He hums, there are drums, four winds, rising suns, We are singing and playing, I her him saying. I remember breezes from winds inside your body keep me high, like I told you, I'll sing to them this story and know why. 6/3/76 Supplication 10/31/84 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) Well, dizzy ain't the word for the way that you're making me feel now Well, I need some indication, girl, if all of this is real now, tell me girl now Well, I've heard it said there's something wrong in my head, now Got to help me, girl, now Could it be infatuation or am I just being misled now?

If you come to heaven before I do, coming for to carry me home, Tell all my friends I'll be coming there too coming for to carry me home. Well I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down coming for to carry me home, But I'd steal my soul if it ever were down coming for to carry me home. 7/10/87 Tangled Up In Blue 7/19/87 (Bob Dylan) Early one mornin' the sun was shinin', I was layin' in bed Wond'rin if she'd changed at all if her hair was still red Her folks they said our lives together sure was gonna be rough They never did like Mama's homemade dress Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough And I was standin' on the side of the road rain fallin' on my shoes Heading out for the East Coast Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through tangled up in blue She was married when we first met soon to be divorced I helped her out of a jam, I guess, but I used a little too much force We drove that car as far as we could abandoned it out West Split up on a dark sad night both agreeing it was best She turned around to look at me as I was walkin' away I heard her say over my shoulder, We'll meet again someday on the avenue, tangled up in blue I had a job in the great north woods working as a cook for a spell But I never did like it all that much and one day the ax just fell So I drifted down to New Orleans where I happened to be employed Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat right outside of Delacroix But all the while I was alone the past was close behind I seen a lot of women, but she never escaped my mind, And I just grew tangled up in blue She was workin' in a topless place and I stopped in for a beer I just kept lookin' at the side of her face in the spotlight so clear And later on as the crowd thinned out I's just about to do the same She was standing there in back of my chair Said to me, "Don't you know my name?" I muttered somethin' under my breath She studied the lines on my face, I must admit I felt a little uneasy When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe, tangled up in blue She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe I thought you'd never say hello, she said You look like the silent type. Then she opened up a book of poems and handed it to me Written by an Italian poet from the thirteenth century And every one of them words rang true and glowed like burnin' coal Pourin' off of every page like it was written in my soul from me to you Tangled up in blue I lived with them on Montague Street in a basement down the stairs There was music in the cafes at night and revolution in the air Then he started into dealing with slaves and something inside him died She had to sell everything she owned and froze up inside And when finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn The only thing I knew how to do was to keep on keepin' on Like a bird that flew, tangled up in blue So now I'm goin' back again I got to get her to somehow All the people we used to know they're an illusion to me now Some are mathematicians some are carpenter's wives Don't know how it all got started I don't know what they're doin' with their lives But me, I'm still on the road headin' for another joint We always did feel the same we just saw it from another point of view Tangled up in blue 12/30/82 Tell Mama 12/31/82 Your dogs ain't found a good girl, one that love you and give you warning Now you find that you been misused, well how many girls can think all right She'd embarrass you anywhere, she'd make her friends think that she didn't care Give me the chance and I'd been begging And I just want to take care of you and I want you to Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need Tell Mama, what you want and how that girl does things all right Let me hear you say "Yash" The girl you had didn't have no sense, she wasn't worth all the time you spent Had another man kick you out the door, now that same dude is wearing your clothes Tell your Mama, what you want, tell your Mama, what you need Tell your Mama, what you got to have 10/19/71 Tennessee Jed 10/23/89 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Cold iron shackles, ball and chain, Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train. You know you bound to wind up dead, If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed. Rich man step on my poor head, When you get back you better butter my bread. Well, do you know it's like I said, You better head back to Tennessee Jed. Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be, Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee. Drink all day and rock all night, The law come to get you if you don't walk right Got a letter this morning, baby all it read, You better head back to Tennessee Jed. I dropped four flights and cracked my spine, Honey, come quick with the iodine, Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed Then you head back to Tennessee Jed. Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be, Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee. I run into Charlie Fog, Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog, My doggie turned to me and he said, Let's head back to Tennessee Jed. I woke up a felin' mean, Went down to play the slot machine, The wheels turned around, and the letters read, You better head back to Tennessee Jed. Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be, Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee. 2/26/77 Terrapin Station / Lady With a Fan 7/23/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Let my inspiration flow in broken rhyme, suggesting rhythm, That will not forsake you, till my tale is told and done. While the firelight's aglow, strange shadows from the flames will grow, Till things we've never seen will seem familiar. Shadows of a sailor, forming winds both foul and fair all swarm. Down in Carlisle, he loved a lady many years ago. Here beside him stands a man, a soldier from the looks of him, Who came through many fights, but lost at love. While the story teller speaks, a door within the fire creaks; Suddenly flies open, and a girl is standing there. Eyes alight, with glowing hair, all that fancy paints as fair, She takes her fan and throws it, in the lion's den. Which of you to gain m 2000 e, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance. The sailor gave at least a try, the soldier being much too wise, Strategy was his strength, and not disaster. The sailor, coming out again, the lady fairly leapt at him. That's how it stands today. You decide if he was wise. The story teller makes no choice. Soon you will not hear his voice. His job is to shed light, and not to master. Since the end is never told, we pay the teller off in gold, In hopes he will return, but he cannot be bought or sold. Terrapin Station Inspiration, move me brightly. Light the song with sense and color; Hold away despair, more than this I will not ask. Faced with mysteries dark and vast, statements just seem vain at last. Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to Terrapin. Counting stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright; The spiral light of Venus, rising first and shining best, Oh, from the northwest corner, of a brand new crescent moon, Crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune, Terrapin Station, in the shadow of the moon. Terrapin Station and I know we'll be there soon, Terrapin, I can't figure out, Terrapin, if it's the end or beginning, Terrapin, but the train's put it's brakes on, Terrapin, and the whistle is screaming, TERRAPIN. Terrapin Station / At the Siding While you were gone, these faces filled with darkness. The obvious was hidden, with nothing to believe in, The compass always points to Terrapin. Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain. You're back in Terrapin for good or ill again, for good or ill again. 9/25/91 That Would Be Something 7/14/94 (John Lennon, Paul McCartney) 6/10/73 That's All Right, Mama 4/18/86 (Arthur Crudup) My Mama told me, Papa done told me too That gal you're foolin' with ain't no good for you But that's allright, that's allright That's allright now Mama, anyway you do One and one is two, two and two is four Don't leave me baby when you walk out the door That's allright, that's allright That's allright now Mama, anyway you do That's allright Mama, that's allright with you That's allright Mama, anyway you do 10/31/67 That's It For The Other One 8/3/94 (Bob Weir, Bill Kruetzman) The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded, Solemnly they stated, "He has to die, you know he has to die." All the children learnin', from books that they were burnin', Every leaf was turnin', to watch him die, you know he had to die. The summer sun looked down on him, his mother could but frown on him, And all the others sound on him, but it doesn't seem to matter. And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended, His mind remained unbended, he had to die, you know he had to die. 2/9/73 They Love Each Other 4/1/93 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Mary run around, sailin' up and down, Looking for a shot in some direction. Got it from the top, it's nothing you can stop, Lord, you know they made a fine connection. They love each other, Lord you can see that it's true, Lord you can see that it's true, Lord you can see that it's true. He could pass his time, around some other line But you know he chose this place beside her. Don't get in their way, there's nothing you can say, Nothing that you need to add or do. They love each other, Lord you can see that it's true, Lord you can see that it's true, Lord you can see that it's true. Its' nothing, they explain, it's like a diesel train You better not be there when it rolls, over, And when that train rolls in, you wonder where it's been, You gotta try and see a little further. [ ADDITIONAL LYRICS FROM THE 1973 VERSION ] Though you'll make a noise, just can't hear your voice. All the dizzy ride on your cold shoulder. Won't you believe what I say is true? Everything I did I heard it first from you. Everything I tell you, I heard it first from you. Heard your news report, you know you're falling short. Pretty soon, we'll trust you for the weather. When that ship comes in, you won't know where it's been. You got to try to see a little further. 11/17/78 This Time Forever 11/17/78 We had plenty of lovers, we put in our time We were anything but blind Just as certain angels of perpetual flight When we met we saw the light This time for sure, this time forever, but it turned to sand Slipping through our hand, as time slipped away She was a stranger, just a stranger, when I awoke and saw her face She moved in for the winter, made a garden in May Summer came and gone, I was gone when she left me There was nothing to leave, swept away on a breeze This time for sure, this time forever, but it turned to sand Slipped right through our hand, as time slipped away She was a stranger when I woke and saw her face 9/17/82 Throwing Stones 8/4/94 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free Dizzy with eternity. Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea Call it home for you and me. A peaceful place or so it looks from space A closer look reveals the human race. Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face. But afraid, we may lay our home to waste. There's a fear down here we can't forget hasn't got a name just yet Always awake, always around singing ashes to ashes all fall down. Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime calls And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls By and by again, the morning sun will rise But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes. It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets Stalking turf, dividing up meat. Nightmare spook, piece of heat, you and me, you and me. Click, flashblade in ghetto night. Rudies looking for a fight. Rat cat alley roll them bones. Need that cash to feed that jones And the politicians throwing stones Singing ashes, ashes all fall down. Commissars and pin-striped bosses roll the dice {Anymore the pinstriped bosses own/roll the dice} Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price. Money green or proletarian gray, selling guns instead of food today. {Money green, its the only way, sell the guns, rape the Earth today} So the kids they dance, they shake their bones While the politicians throwing stones Singing ashes, ashes all fall down. Heartless powers try to tell us what to think If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink. History's page, it is thusly carved in stone The future's here, we are it, we are on our own. On our own We are on our own We are on our own ... If the game is lost then we're all the same No one left to place or take the blame. We will leave this place an empty stone Or this shinning ball of blue we can call our home So the kids they dance, they shake their bones While the politicians are throwing stones Singing ashes, ashes all fall down. Shipping powders back and forth Singing "black goes south while white comes north" And the whole world full of petty wars Singing "I got mine and you got yours." And the current fashions set the pace. Lose your step, fall out of grace. And the radical he rant and rage, Singing "someone got to turn the page" And the rich man in his summer home, Singing "Just leave well enough alone" But his pants are down, his cover's blown And the politicians are throwing stones So the kids they dance they shake their bones Cause its all too clear we're on our own Singing ashes, ashes all fall down. Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down. 9/18/70 Till The Morning Comes 12/26/70 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Till the morning comes, it'll do you fine. Till the morning comes, like a highway sign, Showing you the way, leaving no doubt, Of the way on in or the way back out. Tell you what I'll do, I 2000 'll watch out for you You're my woman now, make yourself easy, make yourself easy Make yourself eeeeeeasy Till we all fall down, it'll do you fine, Don't think about what you left behind The way you came or the way you go Let your tracks be lost in the dark and snow Tell you what I'll do, I'll watch out for you You're my woman now, make yourself easy, make yourself easy Make yourself eeeeeeasy When the shadows grow, it'll do you fine When the cold winds blow, it'll ease your mind The shape it takes could be yours to choose, What you may win, what you may lose Tell you what I'll do, I'll watch out for you You're my woman now, make yourself easy, make yourself easy Make yourself eeeeeeeasy You're my woman now, make yourself easy. You're my woman now, make yourself easy. You're my woman now, make yourself easy. You're my woman now, make yourself easy. 7/30/70 To Lay Me Down 6/28/92 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) To lay me down, once more to lay me down with my head in sparklin' clover to lay me down, on e last time, to lay me down To be with you, once more, to be with you. With our bodies close together let the world go by, like the clouds a'streamin' to lay me down, on e last time, to lay me down to lay me down, to lay me down, to lay me down, one last time, to lay me down to lie with you, once more, to lie with you with our dreams entwined together to wake beside you, my love still sleepin' to tell sweet lies, one last time and say good night to lay me down, to lay me down, to lay me down, one last time, to lay me down to lay me down, one last time, to lay me down to lay me down, to lay me down, to lay me down, to lay me down to lay me down 11/17/78 Tom Dooley 11/17/78 Hang your head, hang your head, Tom Dooley hang your head and cry Killed poor Laura Foster, you know you're bound to die Bury her on the hillside, make the people see Put the coat over, tromp her with your feet Hang your head Tom Dooley, hang your head and cry Killed poor Laura Foster, don't you know your bound to die Bury her on the hillside with other people's lives Hang your head Tom Dooley, hang your head and cry Killed poor Laurea Foster, don't you know you're bound to die First time I went courting, pretty brave of me Just to sing from her old oak tree Hang your mama with kindness blame it on this morning 3/27/85 Tom Thumb Blues 7/27/94 (Bob Dylan) When your lost in the rain in Juarez and it's Easter time too When your gravity fails you and negativity won't pull you through Don't you put on any airs when you down on Rue Morgue Avenue. They got some hungry creatures there they'll surely make a mess out of you If you see St Annie, please tell her thanks alot Her eyestalks all are twisted, tentacles are all in a knot I don't even have the strength to get up and take another shot. Now my best friend, my drummer, won't even tell what it was that I dropped Now sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom. She speaks good English as she invites you up into her room. And you, you were so damn conscientious, you couldn't go to her too soon Still she takes your voice and leaves you howling at the moon. Up on Housing Project Hill, it's either fortune or fame You must choose one or the other though neither are to be what they claim If you're looking to get silly, you better get back from where you came You know the cops don't need you and man, they expect the same. Now all the authorities, they just lay around and boast About how they blackmailed the Seargent at arms into leaving his post. And picking up Angel, Who arrived up here from the coast, Who looked so fine at first, but left looking like a ghost. Now I started out burgundy, soon I hit the harder stuff Everybody swore they stand behind me when the game got rough But the joke was on me, there was nobody even there to call my bluff I'm goin' back to San Enselmo, I do believe I had enough. 9/24/72 Tomorrow Is Forever 10/19/74 (Dolly Parton) Take my hand and run with me out of the past called yesterday and walk with me into the future on to tomorrow Yesterday my sweetful life rolled again back no matter what There is nothing left but memories that bring sorrows Yesterday is gone but tomorrow is forever No more cryin' and memories find their way back Tomorrow's waiting let's journey there together Yesterday is gone but tomorrow is forever I care no for yesterday, I love you as you are today We must forget the passing time My love for you is the real kind of love that won't hurt you forever Yesterday is over. tomorrow is forever 5/19/92 Tomorrow Never Knows 5/21/93 (John Lennon, Paul McCartney)) Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream It is not dying, It is not dying. Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void It is shining, oh it is shining. That you may see the meaning of within It is beginning, oh it is beginning. That love is all and love is ev'ryone It is knowing, oh it is knowing. And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead It is believing, oh it is believing. So play the game, existence to the end Of the beginning, of the beginning. of the beginning, of the beginning Tore Up Over You Ever since you been gone I just cried the whole night long Since the day you said goodbye left me sore, no lie, no lie Tore up over you, and I just can't find my way.

Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare Draw the curtains I don't care, but it's alright I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive. I see you've got your list out, say your piece and kiss off. Guess I get the jist of it, but it's alright Oh well anyway, sorry that you feel that way. Every silver linings got a touch of grey I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive. It's a lesson to me, the ablers and the beggars and the theives The abc's we all think of, try to win a little love. I know the rent is in the rears, the dog has not been fed in years It's even worse than it appears, but it's alright Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen The words he knows are all obscene, but it's alright I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive. Shoe is on the hand that fits, that's all there really is to it Whistle through your teeth and spit, but it's alright Oh well a touch of gray, kinda suits you anyway, That's all I had to say, but it's alright I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive. It's a lesson to me, the devils and the East and the free The abc's we all must face, try to save a little grace. 8/18/70 Truckin' 7/31/94 (Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Robert Hunter) Truckin' got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin', like the doo-dah man Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin' on. Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street. Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street. Your typical city involved in a typical daydream H 2000 ang it up and see what tomorrow brings. Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans; New York's got the ways and means; but just won't let you be, oh no. Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love, Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home. One of these days they know they better get goin' Out of the door and down on the streets all alone. Truckin', like the doo-dah man. Once told me "You've got to play your hand" Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime, if you don't lay'em down, Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me; Other times I can barely see. Lately it occurres to me What a long, strange trip it's been. What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine, All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?" Truckin', up to Buffalo. Been thinkin', you got to mellow slow Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin' on. Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window. Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again I'd like to get some sleep before I travel, But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in. Busted, down on Bourbon Street, Set up, like a bowlin' pin. Knocked down, it get's to wearin' thin. They just won't let you be, oh no. You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel; Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down. I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin', Get out of the door and light out and look all around. Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me; Other times I can barely see. Lately it occurres to me What a long, strange trip it's been. Truckin', I'm a goin' home. Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong, Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin' on. Hey now get back truckin' home. 11/11/67 Turn On Your Love Light 7/29/94 (Scott Malone) Without a warning you broke my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apart And you left me standin' in the dark, said your love for me was dyin'. Come on baby, baby please come on baby, cause I'm on my knees. Turn on your lights let it shine on me shine on your love light Let it shine on me let shine, let it shine, let it shine. When I get lonely in the middle of the night And I need you darlin' to make things alright So come on baby, baby please and I'm beggin' you baby cause I'm on my knees, Turn on your lights let it shine on me Turn on your love light let it shine on me Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Without a warning you broke my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apart And you left me standin' in the dark, shine your love for me was dark. Come on baby, baby please come on baby, cause I'm on my knees. Turn on your lights let it shine on me shine on your love light Let it shine on me let shine, let it shine, let it shine. 3/23/72 Two Souls in Communion 5/26/72 What are they seeing, when they look in each other's eyes? What are they feeling, when they see each other smile? Is it love, I don't know - or an emotion that I've outgrown? Did I take a wrong turn - in on life's winding road? Won't somebody help me find the right way to go? My life need some correction, alteration and direction. Wont somebody stand by me - yes, I'm lost, yes, I'm lost, yes, I'm lost.

Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck. Check my pulse, it don't change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain. Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat. Wave that flag, wave it wide and high. Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my. I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am; Been hidin' out in a rock and roll band. Shake the hand that shook the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan. Shine your shoes, light your fuse. Can you use them ol' U.S. Blues? I'll drink your health, share your wealth, run your life, steal your wife. Wave that flag, wave it wide and high. Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my. Back to back chicken shack. Son of a gun, better change your act. We're all confused, what's to lose? You can call this all the United States Blues. Wave that flag, wave it wide and high. Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my. Unbroken Chain (never performed) (Phil Lesh) Blue light rain, whoa unbroken chain, Looking for familiar faces in an empty window pane. Listening for the secret, searching for the sound But I could only hear the preacher and the baying of his hounds. Willow sky, whoa, I walk and wonder why, They say love your brother, but you will catch it when you try. Roll you down the line boy, drop you for a loss, Ride you out on a cold railroad and nail you to a cross. November and more, as I wait for the score, They're telling me forgiveness is the key to every door. A slow winder day a night like forever, Sink like a stone, float like a feather. (instrumental) Lilac rain, unbroken chain, Song of the sawhet owl. Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane, Listening to the winds howl Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls, Unbroken chain of shy and sea. Unbroken chain of the western wind, Unbroken chain of you and me. 9/27/69 Uncle John's Band 8/4/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more, 'Cause when life looks like Easy Street, there is danger at your door. Think this through with me, let me know your mind, Wo, oh, what I want to know, is are you kind? It's a buck dancer's choice my friend; better take my advice. You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice. Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? Wo, oh, what I want to know, will you come with me? Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like? Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is "Don't tread on me". Come hear Uncle John'n Band playing to the tide, Come with me, or go alone, he's come to take his children home. It's the same story the crow told me; it's the only one he knows. Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go. Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait, Wo, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go? I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggar's Tomb; I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune, anybody's choice, I can hear your voice. Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go? Come hear Un 2000 cle John's Band by the riverside, Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide. Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide, Come on along, or go alone, he's come to take his children home. Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go. Valerie Hey Valerie, Baby what's the matter with you? I did all of the things that you wanted me to I went downtown with my picket knife, cut your other man, Cut your other man, but I spared his life Valerie won't you be good to me? Hey Valerie, Baby what's the matter with you? Come on, come Baby, and tell me true Hey now Baby, what did I do? I shot my dog 'cause he growled at you Valerie won't you be good to me? Valerie what's the matter with me? I never ever done you no wrong I sing the blues nearly all night long. Valerie what the matter with me? You know I'd do anything that you'd say I can't understand why you tell me "Please go away" I ain't afraid of the cold. cruel world outside No chicken little running from a falling sky The only thing trouble's me is you. If you leave me what will I do? Valerie won't you be good to me? You got me down on the knees of my shaking feet Can't play the blues 'cause for you I drop the beat Valerie what your complaint? I try to be everything I ain't Valerie won't you be good to me? 6/17/88 Victim or the Crime 8/1/94 (Bob Weir, John Graham) Patience runs out on the junkie, The dark side hires another soul. Did he steal his fate or earn it? Was he force fed? Did he learn it? Whatever happened to his precious self control? Like him I'm tired of trying to heal This tomcat heart with which I'm blessed. Is destruction loving's twin? Must I choose to lose or win? Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed. These are the homes of the dilemma. What truth is proof against all lies? When sacred fails before profane, The wisest man is deemed insane. Even the purest of romantics compromise. What fixation feeds this fever? As the full moon pales and climbs. Am I living truth or a deciever? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Or The Crime. (JAM) And So I wrestle with the angel, To see who'll reap the seeds I sew. Am I the driver or the driven? Will I be damned to be forgiven? Is there anybody here but me who needs to know? What it is that feeds this fever As the full moon pales and climbs.... Am I living truth or a deciever? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Or the crime? 3/19/66 Viola Lee Blues 10/31/70 (Noah Lewis) The judge decreed it, the clerk he wrote it. Clerk he wrote it down indeed-e Judge decreed it, clerk he wrote it down Give you this jail sentence you'll be Nashville bound Some got six month some got one solid. Some got one solid year indeed-e Some got six month some got one solid. But me and my buddies all got lifetime here I wrote a letter I mailed in the air, Mailed it on the air indeed-e I wrote a letter I mailed in the air. You may know by that I've got a friend somewhere 3/19/86 Visions of Johanna 4/22/86 (Bob Dylan) Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet? We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it. And Louise holds a handful of rain temptin' you to defy it. Lights flicker from the opposite left. In this room the heat pipes just cough. The country music station plays soft, But there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off. Just Louise and her lovers so entwined And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind. In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with a key chain, And all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train. We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight, ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane. But Louise she's alright, she's just near, She's delicate and she seems like the mirror, But she just makes it all too concise and too clear, That Johanna's not here. The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face. Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place. Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously. He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously, And when bringing her name up he speaks of her farewell kiss to me. He's sure got alot of gall, to be so useless and all, Muttering small talk at the wall, while I'm in the hall. Oh, how can I explain? It's so hard to get on And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn. Inside the museums Infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while. But even Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles See the primative wallflower freeze. When the jelly-faced women all sneeze, Hear the one with the mustache say "Jeeze, I can't find my knees." Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule, But the visions of Johanna they make it all seem so cruel. The peddlar now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him. Saying "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him." But like Louise always says "Ya can't look at much can ya man?" As she, herself prepares for him And Madonna she still has not showed, We see this empty cage now corrode, Where her cape of the stage once had flowed, The fiddler, he now steps to the road, He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads, While my conscience explodes. The harmonicas play the skeleton key and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain. 2/13/70 Wake Up Little Susie 11/8/70 (Felice & Boudleaux Bryant) Wake up little Susie, wake up. Wake up little Susie, wake up. The movie wasn't so hot, it didn't have much of a plot We fell asleep, out goose is cooked, our reputation is shot Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie What are you gonna tell your mama, what you gonna tell your pa What are you gonna tell your friend when they say ooo la la Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie Well I told your mama that you'd be back by ten Now Susie, baby looks like we goofed again Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie, we gotta go home Wake up little Susie, wake up. Wake up little Susie, wake up. The bullfrog's sound asleep, wake up little Susie and weep It's four o'clock and we're in trouble deep Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie Walk in the Sun Oh I know there is no place you can go to And I know you don't know anyone at all So come walking in the sun with me my little one And remember that the only time is now Oh how strange is the story your eyes tell me And quiet all the new words that you say So come and hold my hand for you see I'd understand And remember the only time is now Oh I come to you ragged up stranger And you come to me an angel of the nite So all dancing, we will sing, for it doesn't mean a thing And remember that the only time is now So forget about your yesterdays of sorrow And forget about the darkness you have seen For there's only you and me at the edge of an endless sea And remember that the only time is now Walk in the Sunshine Look out cause here comes some free advice. Walk in the sunshine, watch for the bright sun, Be all those things you're able to be. You got to listen to the heavens, you got to try to understand, The grateness of their movement is just as small as it is grand. Try not to hurry, it's just not your worry. Leave it to those all caught up in time. You got to deep-six your wristwatch, you got to try and understand, The time it seems to capture is just the movement of its hands. I ain't preachin', 'cause I don't know How to make fast things move along slow I can't stop it, can't make it go. Just 'cause I 2000 say it, that don't mean that it's so, no, no, Watch what you hear now, make sure it's clear now, Just 'cause it's said that don't mean that it's true. So all we say: You got to make a revolution, you got to help me with my cause. You got to burn down all the buildings, you got to throw out all the laws. I ain't burning, Lord, I'm still only learning How to become a man of my own. I ain't crazy, nor am I lazy, Just want to find out what's right and what's wrong. I ain't crazy, all the world keeps on turning, I'm still trying to find out what's right and what's wrong. I ain't crazy! 10/7/66 Walking Blues 8/4/94 (Robert Johnson) Woke up this morning, felt around for my shoes That's when I knew I had them old walking blues I woke up this morning, felt around, felt around for my shoes That's when I knew I had them old, mean old walking blues Leaving in the morning if I have to, robbed blind I've been mistreated and I don't mind dying I'm leaving in the morning if I have to, robbed blind I've been mistreated and I just don't mind dying She got a Belgium movement from her head down to her toes Breaking on a dollar 'most anywhere she goes Well I got a good woman coming my way Tried to try, some electric pantin', some electric chillin' cryin' But, ooh, mistook, misgiven Got me up and walking Baby, but I'm walking blue, walking blue Well some people say boy, the walking blues ain't bad It's the worst old feelin' I 'most ever had 3/21/70 Walking the Dog 11/21/85 (Rufus Thomas) Baby's back all dressed in black.

But we never tend the garden, and we rarely pay the rent, Most of it is broken, and the rest of it is bent, Put in all on plastic and I wonder where we'll be when the bills hit. We can run, but we can't hide from it, Of all possible worlds, we only got one we gotta ride on it. Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind, Baby we can run, run, run, but we can't hide. I'm dumpin' my trash in your backyard, Makin' certian you don't notice really isn't so hard, You're so busy making guns, you barely have time to use them. Well it's oil for the rich, and babys for the poor, We got everyone belevin' that more is more, When reckoning comes, maybe we'll know what to do then. We can run, but we can't hide from it, Of all possible worlds, we only got one we gotta ride on it. Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind, Baby we can run, run, run, but we can't hide, Oh no we can't hide. All these complications seem to leave no choice, I've heard the tounges of billions speak with just one voice, Sayin', "Just leave all the rest to me, I need it worse than you, you see," And then I heard the sound of one child crying. Today I went out walking in the amber wind, There's a hole in the sky were the light pours in, Oh I remember the days when I wasn't afraid of the sunshine. But now it beats down on the asphalt land, Like a hammerin' blow from God's left hand, One little still grows cringes in the shades of like a bad vine. We can run, but we can't hide from it, Of all possible worlds, we only got one we gotta ride on it. Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind, Baby we can run, run, run, but we can't hide, Oo we can't hide. We can run, but we can't hide from it, Of all possible worlds, we only got one we gotta ride on it. What 2000 ever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind, Baby we can run, run, run, but we can't hide, Oh no we can't hide. We can run, but we can't hide from it, Of all possible worlds, we only got one we gotta ride on it. Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind, Baby we can run, run, run, but we can't hide. 9/8/73 Weather Report Suite (Part I) 10/18/74 (Bob Weir, Eric Anderson) Winter rain, now tell me why, Summers fade, and roses die. The answer came; the wind and rain. Golden hills, now veiled in grey, Summer leaves have blown away Now what remains? The wind and rain. And like a desert spring, my lover comes and spreads her wings, Knowing, Like a song that's born to soar the sky, Flowing, Flowing 'til the waters all are dry, Growing, the loving in her eyes. Circle songs and sands of time, and seasons will end in tumbled rhyme, and little change, the wind and rain. And like a desert spring, my lover comes and spreads her wings, Knowing, Like a song that's born to soar the sky, Flowing, Flowing 'til the rivers all are dry, Growing, the loving in her eyes. Winter grey and falling rain, we'll see summer come again, Darkness falls and seasons change (gonna happen every time). Same old friends the wind and rain, Summers fade and roses die, You'll see summer come again, Like a song that's born to soar the sky. 9/7/73 Weather Report Suite (Part II) / Let It Grow 7/27/94 (Bob Weir, John Barlow) Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore, Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the morning's door. See the sun sparkle in the reeds, silver beads, pass into the sea. She comes from a town where they call her the woodcutter's daughter, She's brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water, and She bears it away with a love that the river has taught her. Let it flow, greatly grow, wide and clear. Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed field, Seasons round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal, Broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring, Black dirt live again! The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing, As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing That the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing Let it grow, Let it grow, Greatly yield. What shall we say, shall we call it by a name, As well to count the angels dancing on a pin. Water bright as the sky from which it came, And the name is on the earth that takes it in. We will not speak but stand inside the rain, And listen to the thunder shouting "I am! I am! I am! I am." So it goes, we make what we made since the world began. Nothin' more, the love of the women, work of men. Seasons round, creatures great and small, up and down as we rise and fall. 4/9/78 Werewolves of London 10/31/91 (Warren Zevon) I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand Walking thru the streets of Soho in the rain He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein Hi ho, the werewolves of London If you hear his howling around the kitchen door You better not let him in Little old lady got mutilated last nite Werewolves of London again Hi ho, werewolves of London He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim I'd like to meet his tailor Hi ho, werewolves of London Well, I saw Lon Cheney walking with the Queen Doing the werewolves of London I saw Lon Cheney Jr. walking with the Queen I saw a werewolf dringing a pina colada at Trader Vic's And his hair was perfect Hi ho, the werewolves of London, draw blood 8/28/82 West L.A.

West L.A. fadeaway, West L.A. fadeaway, Little red light on the highway, Big green light on the speedway, Hey hey hey. 2/18/71 Wharf Rat 7/23/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Old man down, way down down, down by the docks of the city. Blind and dirty, asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee. I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story. My name is August West, and I love my Pearly Baker best more than my wine. More than my wine - more than my maker, though he's no friend of mine. Everyone said, I'd come to no good, I knew I would Pearly, believe them. Half of my life, I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime, The other half found me stumbling 'round drunk on Burgundy wine. But I'll get back on my feet again someday, The good Lord willin', if He says I may. I know that the life i'm livin's no good, I'll get a new start, live the life I should. I'll get up and fly away, I'll get up and fly away, fly away. Pearly's been true, true to me, true to my dyin' day he said, I said to him, I said to him, "I'm sure she's been." I said to him, "I'm sure she's been tru to you." Got up and wandered, wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around. I've got a girl, named Bonnie Lee, I know that girl's been true to me. I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me. What Will You Raise I know the lady face to face Who rules the joker and commands the race I just rolled in from the golden state A dusty spoke on the wheel of fate What will you raise to take my hand? What's Become of the Baby Waves of violet go crashing and laughing The rainbow winged singing birds fly 'round the sun Sun bells rain down in a liquid profusion Mermaids on porpoises draw up the dawn What's become of the baby this cold December morning? Songbirds frozen in their flight Drifting to the earth, remnants of forgotten dreaming Dawning answer comes there none. Go to sleep you child, dream of never/ending always Panes of crystal ice sparkle like waterfalls Lighting the polished ice caverns of the dawn, But where in the looking/glass fields of illusion Wandered the child who was perfect as the dawn? What's become of the baby this cold December morning? What's become of the baby this cold December morning? Racing in rhythm of the sun All the world revolves captured in the eye of woman Allah, where are you now? All eyes are blinded by the sparkling waters Scheherazade gethering stories to tell From primal gold fantasy petals that fold, But where is the child who played with the sunshines? And chased the cloud shape to the regions of mind? Standing stream cries the south wind Lost in the regions of Shadow-like chains of illusion, delusions of living and dead. 6/3/76 The Wheel 7/26/94 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) The wheel is turning and you can't slow down, You can't 2000 let go and you can't hold on, You can't go back and you can't stand still, If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will. Won't you try just a little bit harder, Couldn't you try just a little bit more? Won't you try just a little bit harder, Couldn't you try just a little bit more? Round, round robin run round, got to get back to where you belong, Little bit harder, just a little bit more, A little bit further than you gone before. The wheel is turning and you can't slow down, You can't let go and you can't hold on, You can't go back and you can't stand still, If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will. Small wheel turn by the fire and rod, Big wheel turn by the grace of God, Every time that wheel turn 'round, Bound to cover just a little more ground. The wheel is turning and you can't slow down, You can't let go and you can't hold on, You can't go back and you can't stand still, If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will. Won't you try just a little bit harder, Couldn't you try just a little bit more? Won't you try just a little bit harder, Couldn't you try just a little bit more? 6/13/87 When I Paint My Masterpiece 7/23/94 (Bob Dylan) Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble, Ancient footprints are everywhere. You can almost think that you're seein' double On a cold dark night on the Spanish Stairs. Got to hurry on back to my hotel room, Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece. She promised that she'd be right there with me When I paint my masterpiece. Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum, Dodging lions and wastin' time. Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em, Yes, it sure has been a long hard climb. Train wheels runnin' thru the back of my memory, When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese. Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody, When I paint my masterpiece. Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola, Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola! I left Rome and landed in Brussels, On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried. Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles, Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside. Newspapermen eating candy Had to be held down by big police. Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent When I paint my masterpiece. 12/15/86 When Push Comes to Shove 7/17/89 (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear? Here there may be tigers, to punch you in the ear. With gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of bricks Knock you down and beat you up and give your ass a kick. When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love. Shaking in the desert, now wherefore do you cry? Here there may be rattlesnakes, to punch you in the eye. With Shotgun's full of silver and bullet's made of glass String barbed wire at your feet, that will not let you pass. When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love. When push comes to shove, when push comes to shove, You're afraid of love, when push comes to shove. Shaking in the bedroom, covers on your head, Are you still in fear of the hand beneath the bed? Grabbing at the handle, scratching at the door, Maybe it's mystery killer you saw on channel four. When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love. Shaking in the garden, the fear within you grows, Here there may be roses, to punch you in the nose. Put my arms around you, love you til you cry, Wrap you in your sweet perfume and squeeze you 'til you die. When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love. When push comes to shove, when push comes to shove, You're afraid of love, when push comes to shove. 4/14/72 Who Do You Love 5/11/72 (Bob Diddley) I walked 47 miles of barbed wire I got a cobra snake for a necktie Got a house down by the roadside made out of rattlesnake hide Come on child take a walk with me and tell me who do you love 6/27/84 Why Don't We Do It In The Road 3/30/86 (Paul McCartney) Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? No one will be watchin' us, why don't we do it in the road? 2/12/86 Willie and the Hand Jive 4/4/87 (Johnny Otis) I know a cat named Way-Out Willie Had a cool little chick named Rockin' Billie Made a heart of stone Susie-Q, doin' that crazy hand jive too Papa said "You will ruin my house. You and that hand jive have got to go" Willie said "Papa, don't you put me down, Been doin' that hand jive all over town."

Born, born, born upon the world the restless heart keeps flying, Trying to become the heart of home. Love, love, love, it picks you up and spins you round, Sits you right back down where you belong. I don't fit my hat sometimes, I get so full of clouds Every time I pass your door I hear you cry out loud Sometimes I look the same to you as you have looked to me My eyes get filled so full of stars, I don't know when I leave Born, born, born upon the world the restless heart keeps flying, Trying to become the heart of home. Love, love, love, it picks you up and spins you round, Sits you right back down where you belong. Love is like tha April rain that makes the harvest grow And when it grows it's like the summer gold Love is like the coloured leaves that drift down from the trees One by one 'til every tale is told Now if I go a dancing out across the yellow moon I'll be home by morning if it doesn't come too soon If you seek protection go and find a safer man And if he can't give you what you want then come on by again. Priestess of the sun and moon and goddess of the wind You know too much to ever lose and not enough to win Though you built your house upon the rock and not upon the sand You're still looking out your window for another travelin' man. Born, born, born upon the world the restless heart keeps flying, Trying to become the heart of home. Love, love, love, it picks you up and spins you round, Sits you right back down where you belong. 2/15/73 You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man 10/21/73 (Loretta Lynn) You come to tell me something, you say I ought to know That he don't love me anymore and I have to let him go Oh, you say you're gonna take him, but I don't think you ca 2000 n 'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man Oh, women like you they come a dime a dozen, You can buy 'em anywhere For you to get him I'll have to move over And I'm gonna stay right here Well it'll be over my dead body, you better get out while you can 'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man 3/25/66 You Don't Have To Ask 3/25/66 If you wanna know what time it is, you don't have to ask If you wanna know what something is, you don't have to ask If you wanna know whats real or not, you don't have to ask If you wanna know what time is now, you don't have to ask You don't have to ask, you already know If you wanna leave just close your eyes, you don't have to ask If you wanna go and lose your mind, you don't have to ask If it's peace that you're looking for You got the key to every door, you already know If there's a way out you'll find out and free all and be all beyond You never wonder what sky you been under that made you forget all this time If you're looking for it, you don't have to ask You can see it plain as day, you don't have to ask If you try to find us true, just take a look at you, you don't have to ask 11/15/71 You Win Again 9/16/72 (Hank Williams) The news is out, all over town that you've been seen, out runnin' 'round.

Just trustin' you was my great sin, I just can't go, Lord You win again. What can I do, Lord, You win again. Youngblood I saw her standing on the corner, yellow ribbon in her hair I knew at once I was a gonner, said,"Lookie there, lookie there." Youngblood, youngblood, youngblood, I can't get you out of my mind. I tried to talk, my tongue was fractured I tried to walk, but I was lame Couldn't stop myself from shouting What's your name, what's your name? Crazy stuff, sure look tough, had to follow her all the way home Things went bad, I met her dad He said "You better leave my daughter alone." I couldn't sleep that night for trying, I saw the rising of the sun All night long my heart felt like crying You're the one, You're the one.
