DAYS BETWEEN
There were days and there were days and there were days between Summer flies and August dies the world grows dark and mean Comes the shimmer of the moon on black infested trees the singing man is at his song the holy on their knees the reckless are out wrecking the timid plead their pleas No one knows much more of this than anyone can see anyone can see
There were days and there were days and there were days besides when phantom ships with phantom sails set to sea on phantom tides Comes the lightning of the sun on bright unfocused eyes the blue of yet another day a springtime wet with sighs a hopeful candle lingers in the land of lullabies where headless horsemen vanish with wild and lonely cries lonely cries
There were days and there were days and there were days I know when all we ever wanted was to learn and love and grow Once we grew into our shoes we told them where to go walked halfway around the world on promise of the glow stood upon a mountain top walked barefoot in the snow gave the best we had to give how much we'll never know we'll never know
There were days and there were days and there were days between polished like a golden bowl the finest ever seen Hearts of Summer held in trust still tender, young and green left on shelves collecting dust not knowing what they mean valentines of flesh and blood as soft as velveteen hoping love would not forsake the days that lie between lie between

lazy lightning
Lazy lightning Sleepy fire in your eyes Is it desire in disguise? I keep on tryin' but I-- I can't get through
Lazy lightning I'd like to find the proper potion To kinda capture your emotion You're right beside me but I-- I can't get through
You're a loop of lazy lightning, Liquid loop of lazy lightning, Must admit you're kinda fright'ning, But you really get me high
So exciting, When I hear your velvet thunder Seems so near I start to wonder, Would you come closer if I-- I asked you to?
So inviting, The way you're messin' with my reason It's an obsession but it's pleasin' Tell me a lie and I will swear I'll swear it's true
You're a loop of lazy lightning, Liquid loop of lazy lightning, Must admit you're kinda fright'ning, Liquid loop of lazy lightning
Rope of fire 'round my heart, Rope of fire ever tight'nin', Rope of fire 'round my heart, It's either lunacy or lightnin'
Lazy lightning The way you always 'lectrify me Someday I know you'll satisfy me And all that lightning will be my lightning too My lightning too
["Supplication"]
(Whoo-hoo-hoo) Dizzy ain't the word for the way that you're Makin' me feel now (Whoo-hoo-hoo) I need some indication if All of this is real now (Whoo-hoo-hoo) I've heard it said there could be something Wrong in my head, now (Whoo-hoo-hoo) Could it be infatuation or am I just Bein' mislead, now Little bolt of inspiration, right beside me now Sparkin' my imagination, lightening now Causin' instant excitation, cause you're frightening now Come to heed my supplication, got to have it now My light'nin' too, My light'nin' too

I know I posted this already but I love this lyric:
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.

I nkow Merril Haggard did this one first but I have onley heard Graetful deads version. This one is for you mommy. Mama Tried First thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing And a young ones dream of growing up to ride On a freight train leaving town not knowing where I'm bound No one could steer me right but mama tried.
One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild My mama seemed to know what lay in store In spite of all my Sunday learning towards the bad I kept on turning 'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore.
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole No one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied That leaves only me to blame cause mama tried.
My dear old daddy rest his soul left my mom a heavy load She tried so very hard to fill his shoes Working hours without rest wanted me to have the best She tried to raise me right but I refused.

You need to get some jerry band. im not sure the title of the disk though maybe Dont Let Go. Donna Godchaux has an awsome voice on that cd. Also get Working mans dead. But if I were you I would try and get as may live tapes as possible, they got more feeling.

Yeah try Jerry's "Reflections" Album and "Cats Down Under The Stars"
here's a good one:
Rubin and Cherise
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 She 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

I wish there was such a song as Carnival Parade. I would learn how to play it. I have been singing this song a lot as of late.

A little excerpt from some dead air at the Valentines '68 show at the Carousel Ballroom:
Quote:
(crazy beating on drums and laughing and other odd noises)
"In 1941 the japanese..."
"Hey turn this off..."
"In 1941 the japanese invades the solon islands."
(more various racket)
"Oh my god it was terrible" "Terrible"
"..and further more we will perservere in vietnam"
"...if it's for me tell 'em I'm not here."
..or somethign like that, it's fairly incoherent.
Then they burst into a a crazy version of alligator that was sampled some for the studio version (on anthem of the sun). They used a lot from this show on that album....
Quote:
"And also we respectfully dedicate this set to the memory of Neil Cassidy"
"In particular this song.."
This is the first time they ever played "That's It for the Other One" with the verse
"Escapin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space It trembled and exploded Left a bus stop in its place The bus came by and I got on That's when it all began There was cowboy Neal At the wheel Of a bus to never-ever land"
before that it had two other verses that were nice but somewhat lacking, almost like they were simply place holders waiting for this verse to take it's rightful place.

JACK STRAW
We can share the women We can share the wine We can share what we got of yours 'Cause we done shared all of mine
Keep a rolling Just a mile to go Keep on rolling, my old buddy You're moving much too slow
I just jumped the watchman Right outside the fence Took his ring, four bucks in change Now 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 be me
We used to play for silver Now we play for life One's for sport and one's for blood At the point of a knife Now the die is shaken Now the die must fall There ain't a winner in this game Who don't go home with all Not with all...
Leaving Texas Fourth day of July Sun so hot, clouds so low The eagles filled the sky
Catch the Detroit Lightning Out of Santa Fe Great Northern out of Cheyenne From sea to shining sea
Gotta get to Tulsa First train we can ride Got to settle one old score And one small point of pride...
Ain't no place a man can hide, Shannon Keep him from the sun Ain't no bed will give us rest, man, You keep us on the run
Jack Straw from Wichita Cut his buddy down Dug for him a shallow grave And layed his body down
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...
REUBEN AND CERISE
C?rise was brushing her long hair gently down It was the afternoon of carnival as she brushes it gently down
Reuben was strumming the painted mandolin It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade Played the Carnival Parade
C?rise was dressing as Pirouette in white when a fatal vision gripped her tight C?rise beware tonight
Reuben, Reuben 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 in my heart you would know it's true there is none C?rise except for you except for you I swear to it on my very soul If I lie may I fall down cold
When Reuben played the painted mandolin the breeze would stop to listen in before going its way again
Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke Like waves against the bandstand dancers broke to the painted mandolin
Looking out on the crowd, who is standing there? Sweet Ruby Claire at Reuben stared At Reuben stared She was dressed as Pirouette in red and her hair hung gently down
The crowd pressed round Ruby stood as though alone Reuben'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 C?rise's fate It cut through like a blade
Reuben was playing the painted mandolin When Ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings played all alone
The voice of C?rise from the face of the mandolin singing: Reuben, Reuben tell me true for I have no one but you If you could see in my heart you would know it's true There is none C?rise, except for you -except for you
I swear to it on my very soul If I lie, may 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 through the streets of New Orleans 'till dawn, Cherise so lightly in his arms and her hair hung gently down
these additional verses connect at the asterisks(***) and replace the original ending verse
*** Ahoy old Ferryman Riverboat of Charron ride Though alive, take Reuben to the other side For his sweet C?rise has died
It's a long lonely walk from Hell to the burying ground C?rise may return but don't you look around for your glance would cut her down
The truth of love an unsung song must tell The course of love must follow blind but Reuben looked behind
Reuben walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn with the ghost of C?rise in his empty arms and her hair hung gently down
RIPPLE
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung would you hear my voice come through the music would you hold it near as it were your own?
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
And there's a road no simple highway between the dawn and the dark of night 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 all alone If you should stand who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home
UNCLE JOHN'S BAND
Well, the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry anymore When life looks like Easy Street there is danger at your door Think this through with me Let me know your mind Wo-oah, 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-oah, what I want to know, will you come with me?
Goddamn, well I declare Have you seen the like? Their walls are built of cannonballs, their motto is Don't Tread on Me Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside Got some things to talk about here beside the rising tide
It's the same story the crow told me It's the only one he know - like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait Wo-oah, 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-oah what I want to know, how does the song go?
Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside Come with me or go alone He's come to take his children home Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide Come on along or go alone he's come to take his children home
