Greatest Story Ever Told  by Bob Weir and Robert Hunter 1/76


Woh!
Moses come riding, high for the quasar,
Spurs was jingling, the door was ajar,
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold,
I asked him to come on in out of the cold.

His brain was boiling, his reason was spent,
nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent,
I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun,
now and again these things got to  be done.

Abraham and Isaac a sitting on a fence
get right to work if they had any sense,
you know the one thing we need is a left hand monkey wrench.

Injun come in with his eyes on the floor,
said "you ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door",
then Moses stood up, a full six foot ten,
said, "You can't close the door", when the walls caved in.

Asked him for water, he poured me some wine,
we finished the bottle and broke into mine,
you get what you come for, you're ready to go,
and it's one in ten thousand that come for the show.

Abraham and Isaac diggin' on the well,
moving too quick with the one who is there
cool clear water, well you can't ever tell.

Moses come riding, high for the quasar,
Spurs were jingling, the door was ajar,
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold,
I asked him to come on in out of the cold.
Help On the Way  by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter


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
wing spread
bright spring from
night into
the sun

don't stop to run
she can fly like a lie she
can't 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
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 the dream
it'll never come true
Here Comes Sunshine by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter  1/76 


Wake of the flood, laughing water, forty nights,
get out the pans, don't you stand there dreamin'
get out the way
get out the way,

Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.

Line up a long shot
maybe try it two times, maybe more,
good to know you got shoes to wear
when you find the floor,
why hold out for more?

Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.

Asking you nice now, keep the mother rollin'
one more time,
been down before,
you just don't have to go no more, no more.

Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.
He's Gone by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter  4/75 


Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb
You know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.

Now he's gone, now he's gone
Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
Nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone.

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride,
Hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a bind,
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.

Now he's gone, now he's gone
Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
Nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone.

Going where the wind don't blow so strange,
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything,
A knife in the back and more of the same.

Same old rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb
you know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I say
Steal your face right off your head.

Now he's gone, now he's gone
Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
Nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone.

Ohoo nothin's gonna bring him back
Ohoo nothin's gonna bring him back
Ohoo nothin's gonna bring him back
Ohoo nothin's gonna bring him back.
High Time  by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter  8/74 


You told me goodbye, how was I to know
you didn't mean goodbye, you meant please don't let me go?

I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know.

The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay,
now listen here, Baby, cause I mean what I say.

I'm having a high time, living the good life, well I know.

I was losing time, I had nothing to do,
no one to fight, I came to you.
Wheels broke down, leader won't draw,
the line is busted, the last one I saw.
Tomorrow come trouble, tomorrow come pain,
now don't think too hard Baby, cause I know what I'm saying.

I could show you a high time, living the good life, don't be that way.

Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong,
come in when it's raining, go on out when it's gone.

We could have us a high time, living the good life, well I know.
Hurts Me Too  by Elmore James


You said you was hurtin', 
almost lost your mind;
'Cause the man you love
hurt you all the time.

But when things go wrong, 
wrong with you,
It hurts me too.

You love him a little more, 
when you should love him less.
Why pick up behind him 
and take his best?

'Cause when things go wrong, 
wrong with you..
It hurts me too.

You love another man; 
little girl you know you know I love you.
But you love him darlin', 
stick to him just about like glue.

But when things go wrong, 
wrong with you...
It hurts me too.

Well, he better leave you, 
or you best put it down.
'Cause you know, I just can't stand to see, 
see you pushed around.

'Cause when things go wrong, 
wrong with you...
It hurts me too.
If I Had the World To Give  by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter	1/79


If I had the world to give
I'd give it to you
long as you live, would you let it fall
or hold it all in your arms?

If I had a song to sing
I'd sing it to you
as long as you live, lullabye
or maybe a plain sereade
wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid
at the trade 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
would I ever give this world to you,
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.

If I had a star to give
I'd give it to you
long as you live, would you have the time
to watch it shine, watch it shine
or ask for the moon and heaven too,
I'd give it to you.

Maybe I've got no star to spare
or anything fine or even rare
only if you let me be your world
would I ever give this world to you,
could I ever give this world to you.
I Know You Rider   trad. arranged by the Grateful Dead  5/77 


I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.

Lay down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest;
Lay down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest;
My mind was wanderin' like the wild geese in the West.

The sun will shine in my back door someday.
The sun will shine in my back door someday.
March winds will blow all my troubles away.

I wish I was a headlight, on a North-bound train.
I wish I was a headlight, on a North-bound train.
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.

I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log.
I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log.
Than stay here in Frisco, be treated like a dog.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.
I'll Take a Melody  by Allen Toussaint


I've seen the rain pouring down
The sky was grey with a speck of blue
Peek through a hole in the clouds
The sun was screaming, "Hey, you!"

As you ramble through your sorrow
Seem like everything come out wrong
I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows
I know something's helping me along

I'll take a melody
and see what I can do about it.
I'll take a simple C to G
and feel brand new about it.

I understand why the old fishermen
sail along, sail along, sail along, sail along, sail along,
someday he'll be gone.

I hear you talking about your troubles
Everybody's got their troubles too
You can make them burst like bubbles
If you know just what to do

You know I've been called a dreamer
Dreams that never come true
But I've been called so many things before
Tell you what I'm gonna do

I'll take a melody
and see what I can do about it.
I'll take a simple C to G
and feel brand new about it.

I understand why the old fishermen
sail along, sail along, sail along, sail along, sail along,
someday he'll be gone.

I'll take a melody
and see what I can do about it.
I'll take a simple C to G
and feel brand new about it.

Shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining,

Shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining,

Shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining,

Shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining.
I Need a Miracle  by Bob Weir	1/79


I need a woman 'bout twice my age
a lady of nobility, gentility and rage
splendor in the dark, lightning on the draw
we'll go right through the book and break each and every law

I got a feeling and it won't go away, oh no
just one thing then I'll be ok
I need a miracle every day.

I need a woman 'bout twice my height
Statuesque, raven-tressed, a goddess of the night
Her secret incantations, a candle burning blue
we'll consult the spirits maybe they'll know what to do.

And it's real and it won't go away, oh no
I can't get around and I can't run away
I need a miracle every day.

I need a woman 'bout twice my weight
a ton of fun who packs a gun with all her other freight
find her in a sideshow, leave her in L.A.
Ride her like a surfer running on a tidal wave.

And it's real, believe what I say, yeah
just one thing I got to say
I need a miracle every day.

It takes dynamite to get me up
too much of everything is just enough
one more thing I just got to say
I need a miracle every day,
I need a miracle every day,
I need a miracle every day, (got to be the only way)
I need a miracle
It Must Have Been the Roses  by Robert Hunter  2/76


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, let 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 anymore.

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.
