9/7/87 La Bamba 9/23/87
(Traditional, Richie Valens)

Para bailar La Bamba,
Para bailar La Bamba, se necessita una poca de gracia

Una poca de gracia, para mi, para ti,
Ay arriba arriba
Ay arriba arriba, por ti sere, por ti sere, por ti sere.

Yo no soy marinero,
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan,
Bamba, Bamba, etc.

2/25/90 The Last Time 7/6/95
(Mick Jagger, Keath Richards)

Told you once and I told you twice, (But you) Never listen to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me, With what you know It should be easy

Yea, This could be the last time, This could be the last time
Maybe the last time, I don't know

Sorry but I can not stay, feeling like I do today
Too much pain and too much sorrow,
Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow

Well, This could be the last time, This could be the last time
Maybe the last time I don't know

Told you once and I told you twice, Someone's have to pay the price
Here's a chance to change your mind,
Because I've been gone a long long time

Well, This could be the last time, This could be the last time
Maybe the last time I don't know

Well, well I know, well I know,
Could be the last time baby,
I don't know, Could be the last time [repeat]
(This could be the last time) [repeat]

Last Train to Jacksonville

Are you lonely for me baby, are you lonely for me baby
Are you lonely for me baby, last train to Jacksonville
I'll get on it baby, you know I will, come on and try
Go ahead and try to get on that train, I want you

Go and cry baby, go ahead and cry
Know I'm the one to hurt you, I'm lonely baby, lonely and blue
I'm lonely baby, I'm lonely for you, are you lonely for me baby?

This time I'm going to Jacksonville
Are you going, sweet baby, or are you staying?
Tell your friend it's the end of restlessly searching

Said I was born to hurt you, I'm sorry baby, sorry and blue
I'm lonely baby, I'm lonely for you, are you lonely for me baby?

Lord, I'm going to Jacksonville
Are you going, sweet baby, or are you staying?
Say you'll be there, got a feeling that when I get on the train girl
When the feeling, I got a feeling that without your love baby

I'm lonely babe, lonely and blue, I'm sorry baby, long before you
Are you lonely for me baby?

6/3/76 Lazy Lightnin' 10/31/84
(Bob Weir, John Barlow)

Lazy lightnin' sleepy fire in your eyes it's like desire in disguise
I keep on tryin' but I, I can't get through
Lazy lightnin' I'd like to find the proper potion
That's gonna capture your emotion
You're right beside me but I, I can't get through

You're a loop of lazy lightnin', just a loop of lazy lightnin'
Must admit you're kinda frightnin' but you really get me high
So exciting, when I hear your velvet thunder,
You seem so near I start to wonder
Would you come closer if, if I asked you to?

So inviting, the way you're messing with my reason
It's an exception but it's pleasing
Tell me a lie and I will swear, I'll swear it's true.

You're a loop of lazy lightnin' (lazy lightnin')
Just a loop of lazy lightnin'(Lazy lightnin')
Must admit you're kinda frightening
Just a loop of lazy lightnin'
Put the fire in my eyes (Lightnin') Put the fire every time (Lightnin')
Put the fire in my heart (Lightnin') Well come on lazy lightnin'
Just a loop of lazy lightning

Misty lightning, well you always electrify me
Someday I know you'll satisfy me
And all that lightnin' will be my lightnin' too.
My lightnin' too. (My lightnin' too)
Just a loop of lazy lightnin' (My lightnin' too)
My lightnin' too. (My lightnin' too)
Just a loop of lazy lightnin' (My lightnin' too)
My lightnin' too. (My lightnin' too)
Oh come on lazy lightnin' (My lightnin' too)

2/21/93 Lazy River Road 7/9/95
(Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter)

Way down upon Sycamore Slough
A white man sings the blues
selling roses of paper mache
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 standing room
Bright blue boxcars train by train
clatter where 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 a taxi ride
Night 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

Leave that Little Girl Alone

She's wicked but she knows what she likes.
She's wicked but she knows what she likes.
Don't you underrate her, she's a navigator.
She's wicked but she's such a delight.

She lives in a world of her own.
She lives in a world of her own.
All the people there know enough not to stare;
they love her or they leave her alone.

Leave that little girl alone.
Won't you leave that poor girl alone?
To each and everyone his own.
I say leave that girl alone!

She's twisted but she's got what it takes.
She's twisted but she's got what it takes.
She's got what it takes to make her own mistakes.
She's twisted but she's got what it takes.

Leave that little girl alone.
Won't you leave that poor girl alone?
To each and everyone his own.
I say leave that girl alone!

Leave that little girl alone.
Won't you leave that poor girl alone?
She's keeping it tight, gonna make out alright.
Leave that little girl alone.

She's vicious but she knows when to stop.
She's vicious but she knows when to stop.
She's making out fine, knows where to draw the line.
She's vicious but she knows when to stop.

6/23/74 Let It Rock 6/23/74
(Chuck Berry)

Well up in the evening, down in Mobile, Alabama
Working on a railroad with a steel driving hammer
Got to make some money, buy some brand new shoes
Try to find somebody take away these blues
She don't love me here, I'm singing in the sun
Payday's coming when my work is all done
Early in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow
Sitting in a tee-pee built right on the track
Rolling them bones 'till the me fly up inside
Cause I'm young and able to buzz all night long
I'm young and able mama, Lord to buzz all night long
And you know together we can make some honey
Like the world ain't never known

Cause I'm asking king bee, won't you be my Queen
Now I'm a king bee rider, won't you be my Queen
Because you know we can make some sweet little honey
Like the world ain't never seen
Drive your car up in my driveway
Cut your bright lights way down low
Drive your car up in my driveway, mama
Cut your bright lights way down low
I'm gonna wind up your transmission
Till your motor won't run no more

Let Me In 83968

A little boy knocked at the warden's door at Sing Sing
Said in tears, "Yes sir, I understand that 83968 lives here."
He's my daddy, sir, and I just got to be near him
And if you can't let him out then you just got to let me in

Let me in, let me in, 83968's my dad
I watched the burial of my mama
Now he's all in the world that I have
But I can break your little rocks with a hammer in my hand
I just got to be near daddy, Mr. Warden please let me in

When I checked through California happy trails out on the rock
From Folsom on to Jacksonville, no one had my heart
When I found the newspaper clipping in my mama's souvenirs
And now I'm here in Sing Sing 83968

9/8/73 Let Me Sing Your Blues Away 9/21/73
(Keith Godchaux, Robert Hunter)

Gonna hop in the hack then turn on the key,
Pop in the clutch, let the wheels roll free,
Not a cloud in the sky, such a sunny day,
Push in the button, let the top ten play.

Come on honey, let me sing 'em away,
Come on honey, let me sing 'em away,
Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away.

Give me a little of that old time love,
Cause I ain't never had near enough.
Honey, walk that walk with style and grace,
This ain't no knock-down drag-out race.

It don't matter much, pick any gear,
Brind you a pound and drop the rear.
Baby, baby what can I say,
I'm here to drive those blues away.

I sent a letter to a man I know,
Said, "One for the money and two for the show."
I wait all summer for his reply
Said, "Three to get ready and four to fly."

Only two things in the world I love,
That's rock 'n' roll and my turtle dove.
When I was a young man I needed good luck,
But I'm a little bit older now and I know my stuff.

Come on honey, let me sing 'em away,
Come on honey, let me sing 'em away,
Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away.

4/30/88 Let The Good Times Roll 5/29/95
(Sam Cooke)

Get in the groove and let the good times roll,
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls,
If it takes all night long.

Come on and let the good times roll,
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls,
If it takes all night long.

The evening sun is sinking low,
The clock on the wall says it's time to go.
But I got my plans, and I'm sure you do too,
I'll tell you exactly what I'm gonna do.

Get in the groove and let the good times roll,
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls,
If it takes all night long.

Come on and let the good times roll,
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls,
If it takes all night long.

Listen!
It might be one o'clock and it might be three.
Time doesn't mean that much to me.
Ain't no excuses, I don't know when,
I might never feel this way again.

So come on,
Get in the groove and let the good times roll,
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls,
If it takes all night long.

Come on and let the good times roll,
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls,
If it takes all night long.

It might be one o'clock and it might be eight.
I don't care if it's getting late.
We gonna make the band play one more song,
And get in the groove if it takes all night long.

So come on and let the good times roll,
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls,
If it takes all night long.

Come on and let the good times roll,
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls,
If it takes all night long.

All night, all night, all night, all night, all night, all night, all night,
all night, all night, all night, all night, all night, all night, all night,
all night, all night, all night, all night, all night, all night, all night,
all night, all night, all night, all night, all night, all night, all night,
all night, all night, all night, all night.

Come on and let the good times roll,
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls,
If it takes all night long.

2/21/93 Liberty 7/6/95
(Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter)

Saw a bird with a tear in his eye
Walking to New Orleans---my, my, my
Hey, now, Bird, wouldn't you rather die
than walk this world when you're born to fly?

If I was the sun, I'd look for shade
If I was a bed, I would stay unmade
If I was a river I'd run uphill
If you call me you know I will
If you call me you know I will

Ooo, Freedom
Ooo, Liberty
O... Leave me alone
to find my own way home
to find my own way home

Say what I mean and I don't give a damn
I do believe and I am who I am
Hey now Mama come take my hand
Whole lotta shakin' all over this land

If I was an eagle I'd dress like a duck
Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck
If I get a notion I'll climb this tree
or chop it down and you can't stop me
Chop it down and you can't stop me

Ooo, Freedom
Ooo, Liberty
O ... leave me alone
to find my own way home
to find my own way home

Went to the well but the water was dry
Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky
Looked in the bottom and what did I see?
The whole damned world looking back at me

If I was a bottle I'd spill for love
Sake of mercy I'd kill for love
If I was a liar I'd lie for love
Sake of my baby I'd die for love
Sake of my baby I'd die for love

Ooo Freedom
Ooo Liberty
O... Leave me alone
to find my own way home
to find my own way home
I'm gonna find my own way home

Like A Road

When the road gets too long
And you run all out of sun
And the pain gets too much to bear

Turn around, turn around
Turn around, and I'll be there
Like a Road, Like a Road leading home

When you wake up and start to cry
And you need some place to go
And you want some company that really cares

Turn around...

When the grey clouds pass you by
And the road you travel on
Doesn't seem to be goin' anywhere

Turn around...

9/16/66 Lindy 12/1/66

I know they're gonna run take me
When they get across the sea
Ever' chance, those women; Watch-it's amazing
It's all safe and now sugar baby

Oh Mama, don't you weep and moan, Uncle Sam got your man and gone.
Now then they're doin' the Lindy Bird across the sea.

Oh Mama, how can it be, You went way across the sea
Just to keep from doing that Lindy fight with me
Oh baby, well I done just told'ja now

Oh Mama, don't you weep and moan, Uncle Sam got your man and gone.
Now then they're doin' the Lindy Bird across the sea.

I asked her for a piece of banana;
She said, "Let me play the blues on your piano
And then I'll do that Lindy thing with you."
Mary had a dream about a submarine.

I asked her for a glass of payolla;
She said, "Let me play the blues on your Victrola,
And then I'll do that Lindy fight with you."

2/7/89 Little Light 7/21/90
(Brent Mydland, John Barlow)

Well, there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care.
And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there.
I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true...
The honey's sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you.

So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night.
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright.
But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might
To give you just a little sweetness...
Just a little sweetness...
Just a little light.

I have always heard that virtue ought be its own reward,
But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword.
It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way.
You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away.

Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite
Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright,
Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness...
Just a little sweetness...
Just a little sweetness...
Just a little light.

Bridge:
It could be just another highway coiled up in the night.
You could be just another mule deer, baby, stranded on my brights
There's a tingling recognition
Like the sound of distant thunder
And I begin to wonder
If the love I've driven under
Won't ignite.

So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night.
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright.
Something shines around you that seems, to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness...
Just a little sweetness...
Just a little sweetness...
Just a little light.

8/19/80 Little Red Rooster 7/9/95
(Willie Dixon)

I'm a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Just a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Keep everything in the barnyard people, upset in every way

Dogs begin to bark now and the hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark now and the hounds begin to howl
Watch out stray cat people the little red rooster is on the prowl

If you see the little red rooster, won't you please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster, won't you please drive him home
Been no peace in the barnyard people, since the little red rooster's been gone

Brent Rap:
Hey there little red rooster, well you ain't shit to me
You think you're a stud boy, well I doubt you'll ever be
While you away I'm gonna fuck with your henhouse
I'm just being neighboorly.

Yeah and the little red rooster, well you ain't shit to me
Think you're a stud boy, well I doubt you'll ever be
While your away I'm gonna fuck with your hens, boy
I'm just bein' neighborly

12/19/69 Little Sadie 10/31/80

Went down last night to take a look around
Met little Sadie and I blew her down, went right home, went to bed
Forty-four colt smokes under my head
And I began to think what a deed I'd done
Grabbed my hat and away I run, made a good run, but a little too slow
They overtook me in Jericho

I'm standin' on the corner ringin' the bell
Along came the sheriff from Thomasville
Says "Young man, your name's Brown,
Remember the night you blew Sadie down?"
Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee,
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree
First degree and the second degree
Got any papers won't you read 'em to me.

They took me downtown all dressed in black
Put me on the train and sent me back
Sent me back to the county jail, I had nobody to go for my bail
The judge and the jury they took the stand
The judge hold the paper in his right hand
Forty-one days, forty-one nights,
Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes.

12/19/69 Long Black Limousine 6/21/71

Down through the city their fancy cars are such a sight to see
At first look your rich friends that took you innocently
That now they finally called you home to me

Papers told about you lost your life
Of the party and the famous crash that night
Racing on the highway that turns nobody saint
Now you're driving in that long black limousine

3/22/72 Looks Like Rain 6/30/95
(Bob Weir, John Barlow)

Awoke today, felt your side of the bed;
The covers were still warm where you been layin'.
You were gone, oh gone, my heart was filled with dread;
You might not be sleeping here again.
But it's alright cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain

Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love?
You guess from the cries you were listening to a fight.
Well you know, oh know, haste is the last thing they're thinking of
. You know they're only tryin' to make it thru the night.

I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down
Or fit you in the lines I might've drawn.
It's just that I, oh I, have gotten used to havin' you around.
The landscape would be empty, if you were gone;
But it's alright cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letter of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain.

Loose Lucy is my delight, she come runnin' and we ball all night,

She's my yo-yo, I'm her string, listen to the birds on the hot wire sing,

Cross my heart and hope to die, I was just hanging out with the other guys,

Went back home with two black eyes, you know I'll love ya till the day I die,
round and round and round and round and round and round and round,

I like your smile but I ain't your type,

yeh-yeh yeh-yeh yeh-yeh yeh, singing yeh-yeh yeh-yeh yeh-yeh yeh,
singing yeh-yeh yeh-yeh yeh-yeh yeh,
singing, "Thank you, for a real good time!"

2/18/71 Loser 6/28/95
(Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter)

If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn,
I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me baby,
Cause I'm all alone and you know I'm only in it for the gold

All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
And I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
And you'll never find another honest man.

Last fair deal in the country,
Sweet Suzie, 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, cause I'm all alone
Well I know a little something you won't ever know
Don't you touch hard liquor, just a cup of cold coffee
I'm gonna get up in the morning and go

Everybody prayin' and drinkin' that wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines
Come to daddy on the inside straight,
Well I got no chance of losin' this time

Last fair deal in the country,
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is baby,
Before you let my deal go down

Everybody prayin' and drinkin' that wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines
Come to daddy on the inside straight,
Well I got no chance of losin' this time.

8/4/79 Lost Sailor 3/24/86
(Bob Weir, John Barlow)

Compass card is spinning, helm is swinging to and fro
Oh, where is the dog star, oh, where's the moon.
You're a lost sailor, been away too long at sea.

Somedays the gales are howling, sometimes the sea is still as glass.
Oh, raise the main sail, oh, lash the mast.
You're a lost sailor, been away too long at sea.
Now the shorelines beckon, there is a price for being free.

There's a sea bird cryin' and there's a ghost wind blowing
And it's calling you, to that misty swirling sea.
Till the chains of your dreams are broken,
No place in this world you can be.

You're a lost sailor, been away too long at sea.
Now the shorelines beckon, there is a price for being free.

You pay for being free, I'll tell ya freedom don't come easy,
Free don't always come for free,
Sometimes it's hard to know what to believe in.

Where to go, who to go, where to be, who to be.
That means you're driftin'.... driftin'
Yeah driftin' and dreamin', really goin' on a dream now.
Really goin' on a feelin', really goin' on a feelin'.
Driftin', driftin' and dreamin'.

Cause it's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen now
You can hear them callin' on the wind
Driftin' and dreamin', driftin' and dreamin'.
Really goin' on a dream now, really goin' on a dream now,
Really goin' on a dream now.

(Richard Derry)

Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
A fine little girl, she wait for me. Me catch the ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone. I never think I'll make it home.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Three nights and days we sailed the sea. Me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there. I smell the rose in her hair.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Me see Jamaican moon above. It won't be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms and then. I tell her I never leave again.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go. Louie, Louie, me gotta go.

Love Doesn't Have To Be Pretty
(Brent Mydland, John Barlow)

It seems that we got an instinct, Baby,
No matter who plunges first.
You can look across a crowded room And pick out the one
Who will hurt you the worst.
So fasten your seat belt, Baby, This ride could be rough.
You know that love is gonna make me Make you cry,
Until we both say, "Uncle! We've had enough."

Chorus:
Love doesn't have to be pretty.
Love doesn't have to be fun.
Love doesn't have to be flowers and lace,
It can get in your face
Like a loaded gun.
It likes to tangle up your dreams.
It likes to do you 'till you're done.
Love doesn't have to be pretty.
Love doesn't have to be fun.

I got this theory, Baby
That when the Lord made the world,
He cut us all in pieces And mixed us up Into a crazy swirl.
We want to find the other half of ourselves.
We try on everyone for fit. When you're sifting haystacks for needles
It's for sure you're gonna get pricked.

Bridge:
You can let it play your life. It will franchise your blues.
It will set you up with One loving wife
And then five or six more'Fore it really gets through with you.

It's like we're all on a ladder, Baby.
Everyone that I know Is in love with the one who's above
And couldn't care less'Bout the one who's below.
It's a long climb to heaven this way. We try not to look down.
We know if we did What we'd see down below
Is a big pile of hearts All over the ground.

Love in the Afternoon
(John Kahn, Robert Hunter)

Love, love in the afternoon
Outside the window an organ grinder's tune

Rhythm, wine; touch of Jamaica, twilight time with a Kingston lady
All the time in the world for me and that girl

Sweet, she sang sweetly; come back soon
Come back for more of that love in the afternoon

Breezes blow by me in the afternoon
She sings sweetly an organ grinder's tune

Finally recovered from last year's round of bye bye baby blues
All I crave today some love in the afternoon

Love, love in the afternoon
It's easy as she goes, like an organ grinder's tune

Gone with the moon any old trouble it can't leave too soon
Trouble's no part of what I want 'specially in the afternoon

Singin', sleepin' till two
Wakin' to make more love in the afternoon

If you're down, and confused
And you don't remember, who you're talkin' to

'Cause your baby is so far away

Chorus:
And there's a rose, in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies, with the dove
And if you can't be, with the one you love
Love the one you're with.

Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' over good times you had
There's a girl, right next to you
And she's just waitin', for something to do

Chorus

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
So get it together, make it nice
You ain't gonna need, any more advice

Chorus

Lucky Old Sun

Up in the morning, out on the job, work like a devil, for my pay.
But that lucky old sun, got nothin' to do,
But roll around Heaven all day.

Fuss with my woman, toy with my kid, sweat to I'm wrinkled & grey.
But that lucky old sun, got nothin' to do,
But roll around Heaven all day.

But Lord above can hear me cryin', tears in my eyes.
But down the dock, with a silver line, lift me to paradise.
Surely I will tame your calls, wash all my trouble away.
But that lucky old sun, got nothin' to do,
But roll around Heaven all day.

[Repeat all verses]

3/17/93 Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds 6/28/95
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)

Picture yourself a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah, ah

Follow her downto a bridge by the fountain
where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on shore
Wait to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone.

Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
