Alabama Getaway  by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter


32 teeth in a jawbone
Alabama's trying for none
before I have to hit him
I hope he's got the sense to run

The reason the call girls love him
promise him everything
and why they all believe him
he wears a big diamond ring

Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
only way to please me
just sit down with me and walk away

Lady Domo, Billy Bojangles
sat down and had a drink with me
said while I got Alabama
he keeps 'em coming back to me

I heard your plea in the courthouse
witness box began to rock and rise
49 sister states
had Alabama in their eyes

Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
only way to please me
just sit down with me and walk away

Lady said why don't we give him
a rope and let him hang himself
don't need to worry the jury
they'll probably take care of themselves

23rd psalm, Major Domo
reserve me a table for three
down in the valley of the shadows
you, Alabama and me

Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
only way to please me
just sit down with me and walk away
Alligator  by The Grateful Dead


Sleepy alligator in the noonday sun
lying by 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 on me.

Oh no! well, I been there before,
and I'm not coming back around here no more.

Creepy alligator coming all around the bin,
talkin' about the times when we was mutual friends
I take my memory and I take good care of you (?), yes I will.

Woh oh, waiting for a rainy day
Woh oh, waiting for a rainy day
I think you're running some old kind of trick

Oh no! well, I been there before,
and I'm not coming back around here no more.

Riding down the river in an old canoe
a bunch of bottles and old tennis shoes
out of the river, all ugly and green
the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen!

Teeth big and pointy, and his eyes were bugging out
Contract the union, put the ???	   to ???
Screaming and yelling, he was liking his chops
He never run, he just stumbles and hops

Just out of prison on six dollars bail
Mumbles and bitches and a wagging his tail

Alligator running round my door
Alligator running round my door
Alligator running round my door
Alligator's creeping round and crawling round my cabin floor,
He'll be coming round to bother me some more.
Althea  by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter  3/83


I told Althea I was feeling lost
lacking in some direction
Althea told me about scrutiny
and that might need  protection

I told Althea a treachery
was tearing me limb from limb
Althea told me "Now, cool down boy,
settle back, easy kid."

You may be Saturday's child, all alone
and moving with a tinge of grace
You may be a cloud in the varying crowd
or just another pretty face.

You may meet the fate of Ophelia
sleeping and the chance to dream
honest to the point of recklessness
self-centered to the extreme

Ain't nobody messing with you, but you
Your friends are getting most concerned
Loose with the truth, baby it's your find
Baby, don't get burned

When the smoke has cleared she said,
that's what she said to me
I only want a bed to lay your head
and a little smypathy

There are things you can replace
and others you can not,
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, OK, that's fine,
so now I'm trying to catch her.

I can't talk to you without talking to me
we're guilty of the same old thing
Thinking a lot about less and less
and forgetting the love we bring

Attics of My Life  by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter 8/74 


In the attics of my life, 
full of cloudy dreams unreal.
Full of tastes no tounge can know,
and lights no eye 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.
Beat it on Down the Line  by Jesse Fuller  4/76


Well, this job I've got is just a little too hard,
Runnin' out of money, Lord, I need more pay.
Gonna wake up in the mornin', Lord, gonna pack my bag
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 and I'll be waiting at the station, Lord, when that train pulls on by,
I'm a'goin' back where I belong.
I'm goin' 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.

Yeh, I'm goin' back to that shack that's 'way across the 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.
Bertha   by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter 11/78 


I had a hard run, runnin' from your window.
I was all night runnin', runnin'; Lord, I wondered if you cared.
I had a run in, run around, and a run down.
Run around the corner, Lord, I run smack into a tree.

I had to move, really had to move.
That's why, if you please, I am on my bended knees,
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore.

Dressed myself in green, Lord, been down under the sea.
Try to see what's goin' down, Lord, try to read between the lines.
I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin', fallin', Lord, I turned around to see,
Heard her voice a'callin', Lord, it's a runnin' back to me, back to me.

I had to move, really had to move.
That's why, if you please, I am on my bended knees,
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore.

Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into Novato.
It's all night fallin', pourin' rain,
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 into the jail house,
Lord, until the sun goes down, 'til it goes down.

I had to move, really had to move.
That's why, if you please, I am on my bended 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 bended knees,
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore.
Big Boss Man  by Smith and 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' round the clock,
you wanna little drink a 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 stoned 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.
Big Railroad Blues   trad. arranged by the Grateful Dead



Well, my momma told me, my poppa told me too
Now, my momma told me, pGXpa told me too
Well, I shouldn't be here tryin' to sing these railroad blues.

Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said.
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma 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 'way now, don't tell me no lies.
Mister jailer go 'way, don't tell me no lies.
When my train come down, she can roll up and down the line.

Well, my momma told me, my poppa told me too
Now, my momma told me, poppa told me too
Well, I shouldn't be here tryin' to sing these railroad blues.

Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said.
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said.
Well, I wouldn't be here tryin' to sleep in this cold iron bed.
Big River    by Johnny Cash  4/76 


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 Saint Paul, Minnesota,
tore me up everytime I heard her drawl, that southern drawl.
I heard my dream went back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport,
and I follow you big river where you go.

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.

Well, I follow her down to Saint Louie, later on down the river,
a freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
Well I follow her down to Memphis, but she just walked off the bluff,
she raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone.

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.

Well, I'm bound 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, forget my blues on down to the gulf,
she loves you big river more than me.

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.

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.

and I'm a gonna sit right here until I die
and I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.
Bird Song  by Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter, and Billy Kreutzmann 10/75 


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 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 sang a little while and then flew off,
tell me all that you know, I'll show you
snow and rain.
Black Peter  by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter  10/74 


All of my friends, come to see me last night,
I was lying in my bed and dying.
Annie Bonneau from Saint Angel
say the weather down here so fine.

Just then the wind come squalling thru 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 lead 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 thru 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.
