The Grateful Dead: Sugaree Lyrics
Sugaree Lyrics
When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon 'round When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me You thought you was the cool fool and never could do no wrong Had everything sewed up tight. How come you lay awake all night long Just...

The Grateful Dead: Fire on the Mountain Lyrics
Fire on the Mountain Lyrics
Long distance runner, what you standin' there for? Get up, get out, get out of the door Your playin' cold music on the barroom floor Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core. There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down. Fire! Fire on the mountain! Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat It takes all you got just to stay on the beat. You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat But you're here alon...

The Grateful Dead: Cream Puff War Lyrics
Cream Puff War Lyrics
No, no! She can't take your mind and leave I know it's just another trick she's got up her sleeve I can't believe that she really wants you to die After all it's more than enough to pay for your lie Wait a minute, watch what you're doin' with your time All the endless ruins of the past must stay behind, yeah Well, can't you see that you're killing each other's soul Well, you're both out in the streets and you got no place to go Your constant battes are getting to be a bore So go somewhere e...

The Grateful Dead: U.S. Blues Lyrics
U.S. Blues Lyrics
Red and white, blue suede shoes, I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do? Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck. Check my pulse, it don't change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain. Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat. Wave that flag, wave it wide and high. Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my. I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am; Been hidin' out in a rock and roll band. Shake the hand that shook the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charl...

The Grateful Dead: Alabama Getaway Lyrics
Alabama Getaway Lyrics
32 teeth in a jawbone, Alabama trying for none, Before I have to hit him, I hope he's got the sense to run. Reason the poor girls love him, promise them everything, Why they all believe him? He wears a big diamond ring. Alabama getaway, getaway. Alabama getaway, getaway, Only way to please me, ya just gotta leave and walk away. Major Domo Billy Bojangles, sit down and have a drink with me, "What's this about Alabama? It keeps a coming back to me. Heard your plea in the courthouse, Witness b...

The Grateful Dead: West L.A. Fadeaway Lyrics
West L.A. Fadeaway Lyrics
I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do I don't want to buy it I just want to rent it for a minute or two I met an old mistake walking down the street today I met an old mistake walking down the street today I didn't want to be mean about it I couldn't think of one good thing to say. West L.A. fadeaway, West L.A. fadeaway Big red light on the highway, little green light on the freeway. Got a steady job moving items for the mob...

The Grateful Dead: Samson and Delilah Lyrics
Samson and Delilah Lyrics
If I had my way, I would tear this old building down. Well Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair, She had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair, Delilah she gained old Samson's mind. When first he saw this woman, you know he couldn't believe his mind. Delilah she climbed up on Samson's knee, Said tell me where your strength lies if you please. She spoke so kind and she talked so fair, Well Samson said, Delilah cut off my hair. You can shave my head, clean as my hand And my streng...

The Grateful Dead: Box of Rain Lyrics
Box of Rain Lyrics
Look out of any window, any morning, any evening, any day. Maybe the sun is shining, birds are singing, No rain is falling from a heavy sky. What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through? For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago. Walk out of any doorway, feel your way, feel your way like the day before. Maybe you'll find direction, Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you. What do you want me to do, to watch for you while you are sleeping? The pl...

The Grateful Dead: Scarlet Begonias Lyrics
Scarlet Begonias Lyrics
As I was walkin' 'round Grosvenor Square Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air, From the other direction, she was calling my eye, It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try. She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes. And I knew without askin' she was into the blues. She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls, I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls. In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough, She was too pat to...

The Grateful Dead: Hell In A Bucket Lyrics
Hell In A Bucket Lyrics
Well I was drinkin' last night with a biker And I showed him a picture of you I said, "Pal get to know her, you'll like her Seemed like the least I could do. Cause when he's chargin' his chopper Up and down your carpeted halls You will think I am dressed up quite proper Never mind how I stumble and fall. You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot For taste of your elegant pride I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe But at least I'm enjoying the ride, at least I'...
