Del Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 The Grateful Dead Playin' In The Band Some folks trust to reason others trust to might, I don't trust to nothin', but I know it comes out right. Say it once again now, Whoa, I hope you'll understand When it's done and over, Lord, a man is just a man. Playin', playin' in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land. Some folks look for answers others look for fights, Some folks up in treetops just a looking for their kites. Whoa, I can tell your future just look what's in your hand, But I can't stop for nothin' I'm just playing in the band. Playin', playin' in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land. Standin' on a tower world at my command You just keep a turnin' while I'm playing in the band. And if a man among you got no sin upon his hand Let him cast a stone at me for playing in the band. Playin', playin' in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land. WWBD? (What would Bobby do?). (He'd be Playin', Playin' In The Band...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharf rat down [sung as 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 fu©ker'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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 If I'm going to pick only one, then I'm going pick one that sorta summed everything (tour/life/music) up for me when I first seen it live. Thanks R.H & Jerry. Fare you well my honey Fare you well my only true one All the birds that were singing Have flown except you alone Goin to leave this Broke-down Palace On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll Make myself a bed by the waterside In my time - 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 gonna take me Sing me sweet and sleepy Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back 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 waterside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul Goin to plant a weeping willow On the banks 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipped a few shows to head to California with friends of my friend Shannon (the girl I was travelling with),the whole purpose was to be at the two Telluride shows,but leading up to those was the three nights of Red Rocks,I saw two,Shannon three.Great way to spend your summer vacation from highschool.
