Cocaine [?]
Take a snip of this then play a
little riff, don't be afraid to try
Don't need no airplane to get
off the ground
There's more than one way to fly
Have a little taste, Baby, don't
hesitate,
Every hit don't have to be a song
Gonna take you to the cosmos,
Baby, and boogie with you all night long
Riding out on a rail, feels so
fine
Talking 'bout that cocaine express,
mainline, got a good head of steam
Never lived down on the Bayou,
But I been busted in New Orleans,
New Orleans
I can roll all night with you,
Baby got a land? I'm just in from Marin
Can't get it off, but I can get
it on
And we'll be truckin' 'till the
break of day
Here comes the doo-dah dealer on
his Hog three wheeler,
250 pounds of sin
He's made your car the main attraction.
you wanna beef up his action
But he will cut you, before he
would cut you in, the only place to win
Riding out on a rail, feels so
fine
Talking 'bout that cocaine express,
mainline, taking a midnight cruise
Never lived up in the Northlands,
But I been snowblind out in Sandford
Dew
Snowblind in Sanford Dew, that's
enough for you, snowblind
Cocaine Habit Blues [Traditional]
Tell it to me, tell it to me
Drink cold liquor let the cocaine
be Cocaine'll kill my honey dead
Walking down the street with a
dollar in my hand
Looked for a woman ain't got no
man Cocaine'll kill my honey dead
Love my whiskey, I'll love my
gin
But the way I love coke is all
of a sin Cocaine'll kill my honey dead
Cocaine's dose is not for a man
Doctor said pretty soon,
But he don't say when Cocaine'll
kill my honey dead
Cold Jordan [Traditional]
Oh sinning is a gentilized journey,
take Jesus as your daily guide
Though you may feel pure and saintly
without Him walking by your side
And when you come to make your
crossing
At the end of the pilgrim's way
If you ever will meet your savior,
You will surely meet him on that
day.
Now look at that cold Jordan, look
at its deep water
Look at that wide river Oh heavy
mighty billows roll
You better take Jesus with you,
he's a true companion
Oh I'm sure without him that you
never will make it home
That awful day of judgement is
coming in the by and by
We'll see our Lord descending
in the glory from on high
Oh, let us get in touch with Jesus
and in the special love of God
And maybe ever get ready when
he comes on Jordan's tide
Now look at that cold Jordan, look
at its deep water
Look at that wide river Oh heavy
mighty billows roll
You better take Jesus with you,
he's a true companion
Oh I'm sure without him that you
never will make it home
Now what you gonna do, Oh what
you gonna say
Oh how you gonna feel when you
come to the end of the way?
Cold Rain And Snow [Traditional]
Well I married me a wife, she's
been trouble all my life.
Run me out in the cold rain and
snow.
Rain and snow, run me out in the
cold rain and snow.
Well she went up to her room where
she sang her faithful tune.
I'm goin where those chilly winds
don't blow
Winds don't blow, I'm goin where
those chilly winds don't blow.
[Intro]
Well she's coming down the stairs,
combin' back her yellow hair.
And I ain't gonna be treated this
ol' way.
This ol' way, and I ain't gonna
be treated this ol' way.
[Intro]
Well I married me a wife, she's
been trouble all my life.
Run me out in the cold rain and
snow.
Rain and snow, run me out in the
cold rain and snow.
Run me out in the cold rain and
snow. <-- 7 times
[Intro]
Comes A Time [Garcia/Hunter]
Comes a time when the blind-man
takes your hand, says "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams
you still believe."
Don't give it up, you got an empty
cup only love can fill,
Only love can fill.
Been walking all morning
went walking all night
I can't see much difference between
the dark and light
And I feel the wind
And I taste the rain
Never in my mind to cause so much
pain.
[Chorus]
From day to day just
letting it ride.
You get so far away from how it
feels inside.
You can't let go cause
you're afraid to fall,
But the day may come when you
can't feel at all.
[Chorus]
Confusion's Prince (Mindbender)
[Lesh or Garcia]
If only I could be less blind,
if only I knew what to find
Everywhere and all of the time,
it's bending my mind
Confusion Prince is at my door
The crown I wear is the one he
wore
He's here to bring me down some
more and bend my mind
The friendly stranger call my name
He only wants me for his game
But it don't matter just the same
I bend his mind
I'll wave my flags into the sun
I fought my wars and now they're
won
And I didn't need nobody's gun,
I bend their mind
Corrina [Bob Weir and Robert Hunter]
Corrina.........Wake it up, baby
Corrina.........Shake it on down
Corrina.........Corrina
Hog of a Sunday
Dog of a Monday
Get it back some day
What'd I say?
Movin' in closer
Cut from a long shot
Fade on a downbeat
Ready or not
Corrina......[as above]
Cruise thru a stop sign
Loggin' up a short time
Bird on a phone line
Soakin' up sun
Salt on the crowtail
What can I do?
I'm down by law
But true to you
Corrina.......
If, what, where, and when
Told at the proper time
Big black wings beat at the wind
But they don't hardly climb
There's a silver ocean
Silver clouds and silver sea
A bird on the horizon
Silver wingin' back to me
Corrina.....
Wake it up baby
Shake it down easy
Bring it back someday
What'd I say?
Movin' in closer
Cut from a long shot
Fade on a downbeat
Ready or not
Corrina...
Corrina/wake it up baby
Corrina/Shake it down easy
Corrina/Shake it on up now
Corrina/Shake it back down
Corrina.....
If, what, where, when and how
don't mean a thing to me
I would love you even if
you flew away from me
I'll just stand here waiting
on the far side of the sea
There is no fear that lovers born
will ever fail to meet
Corrina.....wake it up baby
Corrina.....shake it on down
Corrina.....corrina........
Cosmic Charlie [Garcia/Lesh/Hunter]
Cosmic Charlie how do you do? Truckin'
in style along the avenue.
Dum dee dum dee doodley doo. Go
on home your mama's calling you.
Kalico Kahlia, come tell me the
news.
Calamity's waiting for a way to
get to her.
Rosy red and electric blue I bought
you a paddle for your paper canoe.
Say you'll come back when you can.
Whenever your airplane happens
to land.
Maybe I'll be back here too. It
all depends on what's with you.
Hung up waiting for a windy day;
kite on ice since the 1st of February
Mama keeps saying that the wind
might blow,
But standing here, I say, I just
don't know.
New ones comin' as the old ones
go.
Everything's moving here but much
too slow now.
A little bit quicker and we might
have time,
To say "How do you do?" before
we're left behind.
[Bridge]
Calliope wail like a seaside
zoo.
The very last lately inquired
about you.
It's really very one or two. The
first you wanted, the last I knew.
I just wonder if you shouldn't
feel,
Less concerned about the deep
unreal.
The very first word is "How do
you do?"
The last "Go home; your mama's
callin' you."
Calling you,
calling you, calling you, calling you,
Go on home your mama's calling
you.
Go on home your mama's calling
you.
Go on home your mama's calling
you.
Go on home your mama's calling
you.
Crazy Fingers [Garcia/Hunter]
Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder
keeping time
Recall the days that
still are to come some sing blue.
Hang your heart on laughing willow
stray
Down to the water, deep sea of
love
Beneath the sweet calm face of
the sea swift undertow.
Life may be sweeter for this, I
don't know,
See how it feels in the
end.
May Lady Lullaby sing plainly
for you,
Soft, strong, sweet and
true.
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow
tapping at the window,
Touch your hair.
So swift and bright strange fingers
of light float in air.
Who can stop what must arrive now?
Something new is waiting to be born
Dark as the night you're still
by my side; shine inside.
[Bridge]
Gone are the days we stopped to
decide where we should go,
We just ride.
Gone are the broken eyes we saw
through in dreams,
Gone both dream and lie.
[Jam on verse chords]
[Bridge]
Life may be sweeter for this,
I don't know,
Feels like it might be all right.
While Lady Lullaby sings plainly
through you, love still rings true.
Midnight on a carousel ride, reaching
for the gold ring down inside.
Never could reach it, just slips
away but I try.
Cream Puff War [Garcia]
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 else and continue
your cream puff war
Cruel White Water
[Robert Hunter]
Up near the border where the cruel
white water
drowns the vagabond who sleeps
too low
me and my companion, the famous
Jack Of Lanterns
tracked the misty mountains through
the snow
I ran across the hidden chord but
I could not learn the changes
the blue Pacific called and I
had to go
there was holy on the ivy in the
apparition mountains
but the warmest bed I found was
ten below
courted lady Greensleeves, she
pushed me out the window
I landed like a feather in the
trees
took off across New Mexico and
landed in the bayou
but the catfish were too lean,
and I had to blow
don't lie for gold--no no no no!
don't lie for love--that turns
out cold
if life depends, just get out
whole...
but don't lie for less, no no
no no!
Marie Marie, Marie Helena
you're my amour, you're my own
heart
Marie Marie, Marie Helena
Marie Marie, Marie Helena!
Left a life of ease and caught
that black iron steamer
across the barren waste to your
arcade
singing 'take me to your leader'
in my strangest country tenor
but the bad I set to lay was half
way made
leftover pieces weren't exactly
what I needed
they didn't have much meaning
on their own
there was some talk of deviation,
but from what was never mentioned
so I set out to find my wrong
way home
home inside the hour, I was tuning
my guitar
where I got that sudden urge I
know too well
I finished my rendition of 'Don't
Pity My Condition'
and then looked around to find
what I could sell
You can't sell your soul! Leave
that alone!
You can't change your role Big
Daddy Lowe
Don't break your back for less
than love!
and don't trade your love for
stars above!
Marie Marie, Marie Helena
you're my amour, you're my own
heart
Marie Marie, Marie Helena
Marie Marie, Marie Helena!
Caught up with Jack Of Lanterns
in a town called Make It Hurt
preaching three card monte in
the Live And Let It church
the choir was down and dirty,
drawing bad and betting worse
we left at ten past six in a padded
hearse
I might find companions in after
hours taverns
to tell a tale or two I've never
heard
but the strangest song I know
is what the thunder said to lightening
and I never could recall a single
word
except...
Up near the border where the cruel
white water
drowns the vagabond who sleeps
too low
me and my companion, the famous
Jack Of Lanterns
tracked the misty mountains through
the snow
don't lie for gold--no no no no!
don't lie for love--that turns
out cold
if life depends, just get out
whole...
but don't lie for less--no no
no no!
Marie Marie, Marie Helena
by firelight you steal my heart
Marie Marie, Marie Helena
Marie Marie, Marie Helena!
Cryptical Envelopment
[Garcia/Hunter]
The other day they waited, the
sky was dark and faded,
Solemnly they stated, "He has
to die, you know he has to die."
All the children learnin', from
books that they were burnin',
Every leaf was turnin' ; to watch
him die, you know he had to die.
The summer sun looked down on him,
his mother could but frown on him,
And all the others sound on him,
but it doesn't seem to matter.
And when the day had ended, with
rainbow colors blended,
His mind remained unbended, he
had to die, you know he had to die.
And when the day had ended, with
rainbow colors blended,
Their minds remained unbended,
He had to die, Oh, you know he
had to die.
Cumberland Blues [Garcia/Lesh/Hunter]
I can't stay much longer, Melinda;
the sun is getting high.
I can't help you with your troubles,
if you won't help with mine.
I gotta get down, I gotta get
down, gotta get down to--, to the mine.
You keep me up just one more night;
I can't sleep here no more.
Little Ben clock says quarter
to eight; you kept me up 'til four.
I gotta get down, I gotta get
down, Or I can't work there no more.
A lotta poor man make a five dollar
bill,
Will keep him happy all the time.
Some other fellow's making nothing
at all, and you can hear him cry.
"Can I go, Buddy, can I go down,
take your shift at the mine?"
Gotta get down to the Cumberland
mine;
(Gotta get down to the Cumberland
Mine)
That's where I mainly spend my
time.
Make good money, five dollars
a day;
Made anymore I might move away.
Lotta poor man got the Cumberland
Blues; he can't win for losing.
Lotta poor man got to walk the
line, just to pay his union dues.
I don't know now, I just don't
know If I'm going back again.
I don't know now, I just don't
know If I'm going back again.
I don't know now, I just don't
know If I'm going back again.
