You've opened a can of worms here my friend.
I've been known to post a lyric or two here in the pub.
Crazy Fingers
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. Never could reach it, just slips away but I try.

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.

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 Jericho Pace the halls and climb the walls Get out when they blow
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on, baby Settle down easy Ramble on, Rose
Just like Jack and Jill Mama told the sailor One heat up and one cool down Leave nothin' for the tailor Just like Jack and Jill My Papa told the jailer One go up and one come down Do yourself a favor
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on, baby Settle down easy Ramble on, Rose
I'm gonna 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 the local county line Take you to the leader of the band
Just like Crazy Otto Just like Wolfman Jack Sittin' plush with a royal flush Aces back to back Just like Mary Shelley Just like Frankenstein Clank your chains and count your change Try to walk the line
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on, baby Settle down easy Ramble on, Rose
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

Dire Wolf
In the timbers of 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 T'was a bottle of red whiskey 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 grinnin 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 due while the boys sing round the fire
Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me
-------------------- "Early man walked away As modernman took control There mind's weren't all the same And to conquer was their goal So he built his great empire And he slaughtered his own kind He died a confused man And killed himself in his own mind"

If I had a gun for every ace I've drawn I could arm a town the size of Abilene Don't you push me baby cause I'm moaning low You know I'm only in it for the gold All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars I could pay you back with one good hand You can look around about the wide world over You'll never find another honest man Last fair deal in the country, sweet Suzy Last fair deal in the town Put your gold money where your love is, baby Before you let my deal go down Don't you push me baby because I'm moaning low I know a little something you won't ever know Don't you touch hard liquor just a cup of cold coffee Gonna get up in the morning and go Everybody's bragging and drinking that wine I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shine Come to Daddy on an inside straight I got no chance of losing this time No, I got no chance of losing this time

Terrapin station
Let my inspiration flow in token lines suggesting rhythm that will not forsake me till my tale is told and done
While the firelight's aglow strange shadows in 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 by the looks of him who came through many fights but lost at love
While the storyteller 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 me, 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 lept at him that's how it stands today you decide if he was wise
The storyteller 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 come back 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, From the northwest corner of a brand-new crescent moon [from Tom Polakis' Twilight Astronomy Landscapes page.] 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 an end or the beginning Terrapin - but the train's got its brakes on and the whistle is screaming: TERRAPIN
AT A SIDING
While you were gone these spaces filled with darkness The obvious was hidden With nothing to believe in the compass always points to Terrapin
The sullen wings of fortune beat like rain You're back in Terrapin for good or ill again For good or ill again
great thread

last post of the night with a good one.
hunter/garcia Help on the way
Paradise waits on the crest of a wave her angels in flame She has no pain Like a child, she is pure She is not to blame
Poised for flight Wings spread bright Spring from night into the sun Don't stop to run She can fly like a lie She cannot be outdone
Tell me the cost I can pay Let me go Tell me love is not lost Sell everything Without love, day to day, insanity is king
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 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 Without love in the dream It will never come true
peace

Wow.
I can't believe the Dead have been making people feel this wonderful for so many years. It is absolutely mindblowing to me. I am only now jumping on the bandwagon, I saw the Dead twice this summer and it was 1000 times more than I ever thought it could be. I can't imagine how amazing it would be to have been with them all along.
Everything I've heard from them is so incredible. The live experience is totally beyond description. I'm hooked!
Guys I have a wonderful thing to tell you. At the 2nd show I went to I brought along a friend of mine who is into music, but not INTO it like I am. He'd actually never really heard much at all of the Grateful Dead. He's a hardass in a way. Not a hardass, he's the least serious person you could meet. But he's not one to show emotion, AT ALL. Well, he was absolutely blown out of his mind. It was so amazing to see him taken over by the love and the vibe and the music and the experience. He was actually in tears. I was speechless. The Dead have dominated me. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :)

Brown Eyed Women ----------------
Gone are the days when the ox fall down Take up the yoke and plow the fields around Gone are the days when the ladies said please Gen'ral 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 pouring down And it looks like the old man's getting on.
1920 when he steped to the bar drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar, 1930 when the wall caved in he made 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 pouring down And it looks like the old man's getting on.
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins Two times over and the rest was 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 pouring down And it looks like the old man's getting on.
Tumble down shack in Big Foot County 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 burned like hell I cut hickory 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 pouring down And it looks like the old man's getting on.
Gone are the days when the ox fall down You take up the yoke and plow the fields around Gone are the days when the ladies said please Gen'ral 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 pouring down And it looks like the old man's getting on And it looks like the old man's getting on.
I've got a recording of this song from 5-11-76 I believe. wow. Such GOOD music. Ahh! Have you guys heard of Furthernet? Its a file sharing application that shares mainly live bootlegs of the Dead. Check it out!!

Sittin in Mangrove valley chasing light beams Everything wanders from baby to Z Baby Baby pretty it up on Tuesday Old like a rum-drinking demon at tea. Baby Baby tell me what's the matter, what, what tell me what's your why how? Tell me why will you never come home Tell me what's your reason, if you've got a good one.

Just a song of Gomorrah, I wonder what they did there Must've been a bad thing to get shot down for I wonder how they blew it up or if they burned it down Get out, get out Mr. Lot and don't you turn around.
Who gave you your orders, someone from the sky I heard a voice inside my head in the desert wind so dry I heard a voice tellin' me to flee the very same voice I always believe Say alot of trouble comin', but it don't have to come to you I'm telling you so you can tell the rest what you've been through.
But don't you turn around, no, don't look after you It's not your business how it's done, you're lucky to get through You're a good upstanding man, a credit to the flock But if you don't face straight ahead you could not take the shock Blew the city off the man, left nothing there but fire The wife of Lot got turned to salt, because she looked behind her.

"Scrooge McDuck"
Relix: You played at American University on a rainy day, about '71..who was that woman on stage left? Garcia: She was some stripper: Weir: Kreutzmann was schemin' on 'er.: "Play a slow number." "What?" "Play a slow number so I can dance." "You're gonna dance?" "I'm gonna take my clothes off and dance." Relix" Kreutzmann was gonna take his clothes off? Garcia: No, no. This chick was. Weir: "You can't do that, they'll bust you." "That's what I want." She wanted to get busted so they'd have her picture in the nuewspaper: Relix: I thought she was a regular part of your revue at the time. I hadn't seen the act in over a year; and I said "Whoaa, what is this!" Garcia: Yea, she comes on right after the trained seals. Weir: Right before the guy who breaks bricks with his nose. Relix: Right after your yellow dog joke. Rifkin: Okay, you got 15 minutes to be in to the lobby. Relix: Well, thanks. Garcia: Sure. You comin' to the show tonight? Relix: No, I gotta be in Washington early tomorrow. Gotta hitch back to Duckburg. Garcia: (Chuckling and heading for the door) Duckburg...Duckburg, right on. Weir: Duckburg? I don't get that. Garcia: (Coming back) That's where Donald Duck used to live. Still does. Garcia: On the outskirts is where Uncle Scrooge had his money bin. Relix: And where all the mailmen were dogs. Garcia: Duckburg is a happening community. Let's see, ya ever read the People's Almanac? Weir: What's that? Garcia: It's a great big book full of bullshit about everything. In one section of it they have tremendously straight biography of Scrooge McDuck, in three of four paragraphs. It's just as though they were talking about H.L. Hunt or one of those guys... Relix: John D. Rockefeller. Garcia: Right, it's wonderful (laughter). "Conservative estimates place his fortune at approximately fifty scarillion, 750 fantasticatrillion dollars." Relix: Impossibillion. Weir: If you look at some of those old Scrooge McDuck comics, it's really, really surreal. Garcia: Carl Bangs, the guy that used to draw the Scrooge McDuck comics, is one of the finest narrative cartoonists ever: They reprint 'em still. Carl Bangs is one of my heroes. he lives in Florida, he's like 90 years old and retired. He does oils of the ducks. They're beautiful, done in such wonderful style, such tremendous light to it. The stories are so great, great ideas. Land of the Incas and all those incredible Beagle Boys plots. Relix: Yeah, you never forget it. Garcia: "No man is truly happy unless he can do what he likes to once in a while. I like to dive into my money bin, burrow around in it like a gopher; jump up and down in it like a porpoise, and throw it in the air and let it fall on my head." -John Hall (Relix, Nov-Feb 77/78)

Standing On the Moon
Standing on the moon I got no cobweb on my shoe Standing on the moon I'm feeling so alone and blue I see the Gulf of Mexico As tiny 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 - indigo
I see all of Southeast Asia I can see El Salvador I hear the cries of children And the other songs of war It's like a mighty melody That rings down from the sky Standing here upon the moon I watch it all roll by - all roll by
Standing on the moon With nothing else to do A lovely view of heaven But I'd rather be with you
Standing on the moon I see a shadow on the sun Standing on the moon The stars go fading one by one I hear a cry of victory And another of defeat a scrap of age-old lullaby Down some forgotten street
Standing on the moon Where talk is cheap and vision true Standing on the moon But I would rather be with you Somewhere in San Francisco On a back porch in July Just looking up to heaven At this crescent in the sky
Standing on the moon With nothing left to do A lovely view of heaven But I'd rather be with you - be with you

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.

Throwing Stones
Picture a bright blue ball, just spinning, spinnin 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, ashes, all fall down. Ashes, ashes, all fall down.
Now watch as the ball revolves And the nighttime falls. Again the hunt begins, Again the bloodwind calls. By and by, the morning sun will rise, But the darkness never goes From some men's eyes. It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets, Staking turf, dividing up meat. Nightmare spook, piece of heat, It's you and me. You and me.
Click flash blade in ghetto night, Rudies looking for a fight. Rat cat alley, roll them bones. Need that cash to feed that jones. And the politicians throwin' stones, Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down. Ashes, ashes, all fall down.
Commissars and pin-stripe bosses Roll the dice. Any way they fall, Guess who gets to pay the price. Money green or proletarian gray, Selling guns 'stead of food today.
So the kids they dance And shake their bones, And the politicians throwin' stones, Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down. 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 will thus be carved in stone. And we are here, and we are on our own On our own. On our own. On our own.
If the game is lost, Then we're all the same. No one left to place or take the blame. We can leave this place and empty stone Or that shinin' ball we used to call our home.
So the kids they dance And shake their bones, And the politicians throwin' stones, Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down. Ashes, ashes, all fall down.
Shipping powders back and forth Singing black goes south and white comes north. In a whole world full of petty wars Singing I got mine and you got yours. And the current fashion sets the pace, Lose your step, fall out of grace. And the radical, he rant and rage, Singing someone's 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 throwin' stones, So the kids they dance And shake their bones, And it's all too clear we're on our own. Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down. Ashes, ashes, all fall down.
Picture a bright blue ball, Just spinnin', spinnin, free. Dizzy with the possibilities. Ashes, ashes, all fall down. Ashes, ashes, all fall down. Ashes, ashes, all fall down. Ashes, ashes, all fall down. Ashes, ashes, all fall down.

Stella Blue:
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 crying like the wind through all the broken dreams and vanished years
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 crying like the wind down every lonely street that's ever been
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 em 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
Wharf Rat:
Old man down way down down, down by the docks of the city, Blind and dirty asked me for a dime-- dime for a cup of coffee I got no dime but I got 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 believed them
Half of my life I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime Other half found me stumbling around drunk on burgundy wine
But I'll get back on my feet someday The good Lord willing if He says I may 'cause I know 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 dying day he said I said to him: I'm sure she's been I said to him: I'm sure she's been true to you
I got up and wandered Wandered downtown nowhere to go just to hang around I got a girl named Bonny Lee I know that girl's been true to me I know she's been I'm sure she's been true to me
The Wheel:
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?
Round round robin run around Gotta get back where you belong Little bit harder, just a little bit more Little bit farther than you than you've 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 Everytime 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?

Garcia: "No man is truly happy unless he can do what he likes to once in a while. I like to dive into my money bin, burrow around in it like a gopher; jump up and down in it like a porpoise, and throw it in the air and let it fall on my head." lol just like donny's uncle weir from the stage: "What's the difference between a duck? One leg is both the same." Someday Baby Don't like everybody In my neighbourhood Got a low down woman Don't mean me no good Someday baby You ain't gonna worry my mind any more Keep on betting But the dice won't pass Gonna leave here running Almost too fast Someday baby You ain't gonna worry my mind any more instrumental (sweet! ) Keep on betting But the dice won't pass Gonna leave here running Almost too fast Someday baby You ain't gonna worry my mind any more Don't like everybody In my neighbourhood Got a dog gone woman Don't mean me no good Someday baby You ain't gonna worry my mind any more Someday baby You ain't gonna worry my mind any more Lightnin' Hopkins From the 1990 church recording, How Sweet It Is, by The Jerry Garcia Band http://www3.clearlight.com/~acsa/introjs.htm?/~acsa/songfile/SOMEDAYB.HTM fwiw, How Sweet It Is has some of the most soulful renditions of songs like Gommorah and Cats Under the Stars and others including Like a Road. Okay, lets see here . . . hmmm . . . well . . . yep, that's about right.

Wow, you guys are FUCKING AWSOME, I love half-step uptown great song:
Quote:
GGreatOne234 said: If I had a gun for every ace I've drawn I could arm a town the size of Abilene Don't you push me baby cause I'm moaning low You know I'm only in it for the gold
All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars I could pay you back with one good hand You can look around about the wide world over You'll never find another honest man
Last fair deal in the country, sweet Suzy Last fair deal in the town Put your gold money where your love is, baby Before you let my deal go down
Don't you push me baby because I'm moaning low I know a little something you won't ever know Don't you touch hard liquor just a cup of cold coffee Gonna get up in the morning and go
Everybody's bragging and drinking that wine I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shine Come to Daddy on an inside straight I got no chance of losing this time No, I got no chance of losing this time

All I know is something like a bird within her sang All I know she sang 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 passing 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 lalalada Sleep in the stars don't you cry dry your eyes on the wind lalalala la........

Mississippi half-step uptown toodleo
On the day that 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 rolling loaded dice, ace of spades behind his ear and him not thinking twice
Half-step Mississippi Uptown Toodleloo Hello baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old southern sky 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 I lost my boots in transit babe A pile of smoking leather Nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather
Half-step Mississippi Uptown Toodleloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, good-bye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old southern sky I'm on my way - on my way
They say that when your ship comes in the first man takes the sails The second takes the afterdeck The third the planks and rails What's the point to callin shots? This cue ain't straight in line Cueball's made of styrofoam and no one's got the time
Half-step Mississippi Uptown Toodleloo Hello baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old southern sky I'm on my way - on my way
Across the Rio Grand-eo Across the lazy river Across the Rio Grand-eo Across the lazy river

I went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine I looked up into heaven, lord I saw a mighty sign Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight
Chorus Uh huh, hey, Saturday night One more Saturday night Hey, Saturday night
Everybody's dancing down at the local armoury With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery Temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high Come the rocking stroke of midnight, the whole place is gonna fly
[chorus]
I turn on Channel Six, the President comes on the news Says I got no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues His wife says don't get crazy, Lord you know what to do Just crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes
[chorus]
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 rocking, rolling music meets the rising, shining sun
[chorus]

Thanks
And here's one for you!
Mountains of the Moon
Cold mountain water, the jade merchant's daughter, Mountains of the moon, electra bow and bend to me. Hi ho the carrion crow fol de rol de riddle Hi ho the carrion crow bow and bend to me.
Hey, Tom Banjo hey a laurel, more than laurel you say sow. More than laurel you may sow. Hey, the laurel, hey the city in the rain, Hey, hey, hey the wild wheat waving in the wind.
Twenty degrees of solitude, twenty degrees in all, All the dancing kings and wives assembled in the hall. Lost is the long and loneliest town fairly sybil flying. All along the, all along the mountains of the moon.
Hey, Tom Banjo it's time to matter, The earth will see you on through this time, The earth will see you on through this time.
Down by the water, the Marsh King's daughter, did you know? Clothed in totters always will be. Tom, where did you go?
Mountains of the moon, Electra, mountains of the moon, All along the, all along the mountains of the moon.
Hi ho the carrion crow fol de rol de riddle Hi ho the carrion crow bow and bend to me. Bend to me. Na da da da da da da da da da da da.

Here's a great one!
Mexicali Blues
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.

Hunter wrote this one about the great train ride across Canada with the Dead, Airplane, Janis, The Band and others! he said it was one of the greatest times ever!
Might As Well
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 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
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.

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, Walk me out in the morning dew today. I can?t walk you out in the morning dew my honey, I can?t walk you out in the morning dew today.
I thought I heard a baby cry this morning, I thought I heard a baby cry this 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 gone today. There?s no need for you to be worrying about all those people, You never see those people anyway.
I thought I heard a young man morn this morning, I thought I heard a young man morn today. I thought I heard a young man morn this morning, I can?t walk you out in the morning dew today.
Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, Walk me out in the morning dew today. I?ll walk you out in the morning dew my honey, I guess it doesn?t really matter anyway, I guess it doesn?t matter anyway, I guess it doesn?t matter anyway, Guess it doesn?t matter anyway.

Dupree's Dimond Blues When I was just a little young boy, Papa said "Son, you'll never get far, I'll tell you the reason if you want to know, 'cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go"
Well baby, baby wants a gold diamond ring Wants it more than most any old thing Well when I get those jelly roll blues Why I'd go and get anything in this world for you.
Down to the jewelry store packing a gun, says "Wrap it up. I think I'll take this one" "A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said Dupree he 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 pull that trigger and it's no wonder your reason goes bad - jelly roll will drive you stone mad
Judge said "Son, this 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"
Well baby, baby's gonna lose her sweet man Dupree come out with a losing hand Baby's gonna weep it up for awhile then go on out and find another sweet man's gonna treat her with style
Judge said "Son, I know your baby well but that's a secret I can't never tell" Dupree said "Judge, well it's well understood, and you got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good"
Well you know son you just can't figure, first thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger and it's no wonder your reason goes bad, jelly roll will drive you stone mad
Same old story and I know it's been told, some like jelly jelly - some like gold Many a man's done a terrible thing just to get baby that shiny diamond ring.

CHINA DOLL
A pistol shot at 5 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 ones 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 it's only fractured - and just a little nervous from the fall"

EYES OF THE WORLD
Right outside this lazy summer home you don't have time to call your soul a critic, no Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home wondering 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 world but the heart has its beaches its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings but the heart has its seasons its evenings and songs of its own
There comes a redeemer and he slowly too fades away There follows a wagon behind him that's loaded with clay and the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay The night comes so quiet and it's close on the heels of the day
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world but the heart has its beaches its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings but the heart has its seasons its evenings and songs of its own
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own 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 but the heart has its beaches its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings but the heart has its seasons its evenings and songs of its own

Hey its like its always been for me a day late and a dollar short. well here is a nother one its a Dylan song but what the hey.
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last. But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast. Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, Crying like a fire in the sun. Look out the saints are comin' through And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence. The empty-handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets. This sky, too, is folding under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home. All your reindeer armies, are all going home. The lover who just walked out your door Has taken all his blankets from the floor. The carpet, too, is moving under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you. Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you. The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore. Strike another match, go start anew And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

I love this song, they didn't play it too much though:
Cosmic charlie how do you do? truckin? in style along the avenue. Dum de dum de doodley 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 people 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.

ill get down on some of this action
lazy river road
Way down upon Sycamore Slough a white man sings the blues selling roses of paper mach? with flecks of starlight dew I swiped a bunch and threw it your way where hazy moonlight glowed Way down down along Lazy River Road
Way down upon Shadowfall Ward End of the avenue Run, hide, seek in your own backyard Mama's backyard won't do All night long I sang Love's Sweet Song down where the water flowed Way down down along Lazy River Road
Moonlight wails as hound dogs bay but never quite catch the tune Stars fall down in buckets like rain till there ain't no standin' room Bright blue boxcars train by train clatter while dreams unfold Way down down along Lazy River Road
Way down upon Seminole Square belly of the river tide call for me and I will be there for the price of the taxi ride Night time double-clutches into today like a truck downshifting its load Way down down along Lazy River Road
Thread the needle right through the eye The thread that runs so true All the others I let pass by I only wanted you Never cared for careless love but how your bright eyes glowed Way down down along Lazy River Road

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

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
-------------------- Without love in the dream It will never come true
