The Race Is On  [D.Rollins] 

        I feel tears welling up from down deep inside, 
        Like my heart's got a big break. 
        And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake. 

        You might think that I'm taking it hard 
        Since you broke me off with a call, 
        You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow 
        And I might lay right down and bawl. 

        [Chorus] 

        Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, 
        Heartaches a goin' to the inside, 
        My tears are holding back, tryin' not to fall. 

        My heart's out of the running, 
        True love scratched for another's sake, 
        The race is on and it looks like heartaches, 
        And the winner loses all. 

        [Jam] 

        One day I ventured in love never once suspecting 
        What the final result would be. 
        Now I live in fear of waking up each morning, 
        And finding that you're gone from me. 

        There's an aching pain in my heart 
        For the name of the one that I hated to face, 
        Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place. 

        [Chorus] 
        [Jam] 
        [Chorus] 

        And the race is on and looks like heartaches, 
        And the winner loses all. 
 

 Rain  [?] 

        Here I am, on the lam ready to go 
        Brighter days have hurried me along, nobody's wrong 
        Love stays the same a heart's not to blame nothing is over 
        Now it don't worry me at all there's just got to be 
        Some kind of overflow nobody falls 

        People, we cry, when wells go dry it threatens tomorrow 
        Try and find some ways to ease the fright burn into the night 
        But maybe a little rain would soothe the pain and drown our sorrows 
        And looking straight at all that lives again 
        Until we get our fill of overflows, nobody  knows 

        In search of love, the seasons above have taken to wander 
        Unlike the ones we used to know, where did they go? 
        Well, here I am, on the lam, low overflow 
        Brighter days have hurried me along 
        To see the rain come shinning through, nobody's blue 

        Oh seagull, tis an hour of plight 
        Energy from your wing helps bring the rain 
        Call on your brotherhood of flight and let it rain all nights 
        Oh sky lookin clear and bright, Moon, with your own true light 
        Turn the tides and rain all night, Turn the tides and rain all night. 
 

 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35  [Dylan] 

        Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good. 
        They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would. 
        They'll stone ya when you're trying to go home. 
        Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone. 
        But I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned. 

        Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street. 
        They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat. 
        They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor. 
        They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door. 
        But I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned. 

        They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table. 
        They'll stone ya when you are young and able. 
        They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck. 
        They'll stone ya and when they'll say, "Good Luck." 
        Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone, 
        Everybody must get stoned. 

        Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end. 
        Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again. 
        They'll stone you when you're riding in your car. 
        They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar. 
        Yes, but I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned. 

        Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone. 
        They'll stone you when you are walking home. 
        They'll stone you and then say you are brave. 
        They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave. 
        But I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned. 
 

 Ramble On Rose  [Garcia/Hunter] 

        Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand, 
        Just like Billy Sunday, in a shotgun ragtime band. 
        Just like New York City, just like Jericho, 
        Pace the halls and climb the walls and get out when they blow. 

        [Chorus] 

        Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose? 
        Ramble on baby, settle down easy.  Ramble on Rose. 

        Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the jailer, 
        "One heat up and one cool down. Leave nothin' for the tailor." 
        Just like Jack and Jill, Papa told the jailer, 
        "One go up, and one come down. Do yourself a favor." 
        [Chorus] 
        [Bridge] 
        I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime. 
        I know this song, it ain't never gonna end. 
        I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line, 
        Take you to the leader of the band. 

        [Jam on verse chords] 2x 

        Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack, 
        Sittin plush with a royal flush, aces back to back. 
        Just like Mary Shelley, just like Frankenstein, 
        Clank your chains and count your change and try to walk the line. 

        [Chorus] 
        [Bridge] 

        Goodbye Mama and Papa, goodbye Jack and Jill. 
        The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter 
        Either side of the hill. 
        [Chorus] 
        Ramble On Rose 
 

 Revolution  [Lennon/McCartney] 

        You say you want a revolution, well you know, 
        We all want to change the world 
        You tell me that it's evolution, well you know 
        We all want to change the world 
        But when you talk about destruction 
        Don't you know that you can count me out 
        Don't you know it's gonna be alright, alright, alright. 

        You say you got a real solution, well you know, 
        We'd all love to see the plan 
        You ask me for a contribution, well you know, 
        We are doing what we can 
        But if you want money for people with minds that hate 
        All I can tell you brother is you have to wait 
        Don't you know it's gonna be alright, alright, alright. 

        You say you'll change the constitution, well you know 
        We all want to change your head 
        You tell me it's the institution, well you know 
        You better free your mind instead 
        But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao 
        You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow 
        Don't you know it's gonna be alright, alright, alright. 
 

 Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues  [Lesh/Mydland/Peterson] 

        Halfway past cool on Monday for the sight of her 
        Rode in town while he built afar with the riders and then the poor 
        Hot damn, it's a mother's day, don't you all look fine 
        Promenading down long car ocean, 
        Yes it's mine and it's sniffing white 

        They got poets, shuckers and godzilla's 'round 
        Mother's sweet little frozen no suit 
        We got Speed Racer and his archaic as words Blues Revolutionary Hamstrung 
 
        Bringin' all the mares hide in your cabs, honey now loosen your load 
        You belong to this has-no-name, what I 
        I remember some chicks from the sciz 
        Would come along and sit and squeeze too 
        Silly says, I say it once, for you it's cold steel and slow 
        It's sounds have all ruptured, it sounds just like glass 
        Suspect out in the corners, sounding verse and kickin' ass 
        I felt the city have a narly, don't make the 6 o'clock news 
        Speed Racer and the band here playing 

        As I recall I went for the window, but I never did get me there 
        Hit me hard with his hickory stick was the last thing I saw, met you 
        Drag me down and tangle, you carry the charges if you feel 
        Pray for the day that one yourself, but then figure we'll lick a few 

        But when I try to look up, don't want to let me loosen your load 
        Here alone take this grenade for me, well I 

        The fore runner radiates wild help up far now, gun ships pass so far 
        Pass me a vote, silly, and how we did it all over 
        Did it all over, did it all over the road 

        We got broads, suckers and guys in this jail 
        Mother sweet little frozen no suit 
        We got Speed Racer and his archaic am 
        Words Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues 
 

 Rhapsody In Red  [Kahn/Garcia/Hunter] 

        I love to hear that Rhapsody in Red 
        It just knocks me right outa my head 
        Lifts me up here just floatin' around 
        Sends me way up and it don't let down 

        I love to hear that Rhapsody in Red 
        On my feet or laid back in my bed 
        Takes me way back where I don't mind 
        Takes me way back in my time, in my time 

        Sail away on that Rhapsody in Red 
        Don't care where those other rainbows led 
        With all those Northern lights just blowin' away 
        Got no thought to relate in the same old way, anyway 

        Love to feel it flood down to my soul 
        Lovin' feel just like days of old 
        I sing blues where has it led 
        Gimme some more Rhapsody in Red, in Red 
 

 Ripple  [Garcia/Hunter] 
 

        If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine 
        And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, 
        Would you hear my voice come thru the music? 
        Would you hold it near as it were your own? 

        It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken; 
        Perhaps they're better left unsung. 
        I don't know, don't really care. 
        Let there be songs to fill the air. 

        Ripple in still water, when there is no pebble tossed, 
        Nor wind to blow. 

        Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, 
        If your cup is full may it be again. 
        Let it be known there is a fountain 
        That was not made by the hands of men. 

        There is a road, no simple highway, 
        Between the dawn and the dark of night, 
        And if you go, no one may follow, 
        That path is for your steps alone. 

        Ripple in still water, when there is no pebble tossed, 
        Nor wind to blow. 

        You who choose to lead must follow, 
        But if you fall, you fall alone. 
        If you should stand, then who's to guide you? 
        If I knew the way I would take you home. 

        La dee da da da, la da da da da, da da da da, da da, da da da da da. 
        La da da da, la da da da da, la da da da, la da da da da. 
 

 Road Runner  [Holland/Dozier/Holland] 

        Money, who needs it, let me live a life free and easy 
        Put the toothbrush in my hand and let me be a travelling man 
        I'm a road runner, I'm a road runner baby, 
        Can't stay in one place too long 
        I'm a road runner, one look at me and I'll be gone 
        Well you can love me if you want to, but I do declare 
        When I get restless I got to move somewhere 
        Yes, I'm a road runner baby, got to keep on keeping on 
        And I love the life I live and I'm gonna live the life I love 

        Don't want love to tie me down, 
        You know I got to be free to roam around 
        All my life I've been like this, you can love me at your own risk 
        When the dust hits my shoes, I got the urge to move 
        I'm a road runner baby, got to keep on keeping on 
        And I love the life I live and I'm gonna live the life I love 

        I'm a road runner baby, got to keep on keeping on 
        I'm a road runner, one look at me and I'll be gone 
        You can love me if you want to, but I do declare 
        When I get restless I got to move somewhere 
        Since I'm a road runner baby, got to keep on keeping on 
        And I love the life I live and I'm gonna live the life I love 
        Road runner, yeah 
 

 Rockin' Pneumonia  [J.Vincent/H.Smith] 

        I wanna jump, but I'm afraid I'll fall. 
        I wanna holler, but the joint's too small. 
        Young Man Rhythym got a hold on me too, 
        I got the Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu. 

        I wanna get in trouble, but that ain't all. 
        I wanna kiss her, but the gal's too tall. 
        I wanna scream, but that ain't all. 
        I wanna kiss her, but the gal's too small. 
        I wanna scream, but no one's around. 
        My baby's loving, Lord, she's carrying on. 
 

 Rosalie McFall  [Bill Monroe] 

        Out on the lonely hillside, in a cabin low and small 
        Lived the sweetest rose of color, my Rosalie McFall. 
        Her eyes were bright and shining, and her voice was sweet to me 
        Knew that I would always love her, and I hoped that she loved me 

        [Jam] 

        My eyes turned to me my darlin', and this is what she said: 
        You know that I would always love you, when you and I are wed. 
        Then God way up in heaven, one day for her did call 
        I lost my bride oh how I loved her, my Rosalie McFall 

        [Jam] 

        I searched this wide world over, through cities great and small 
        But I never found another, like my Rosalie McFall. 

        [Jam] 

        Out on the lonely hillside, in a cabin low and small 
        Lived the sweetest rose of color, my Rosalie McFall. 
 

 Rosemary  [Garcia/Hunter/Lesh] 

        Swath of heaven, a breath of cologne. 
        From here was a window, she sat quite alone. 
        All around her the garden grew, 
        Scarlet and purple and crimson and blue. 

        She came and she looked and at last went away. 
        The garden was sealed when the flowers decayed. 
        On the wall of the garden a legend did say: 
        No one may come here since no one may stay. 
 

 Row Jimmy  [Garcia/Hunter] 
 

        Julie catch a rabbit by his hair 
        Come back steppin' like to walk on air 
        Get back home where you belong 
        And don't you run off no more. 

        Don't hang your head, let the two time roll 
        Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor 
        Ask the time baby I don't know 
        Come back later, gonna let it show. 

        And I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know, 
        Seems a common way to go, get down and row, row, row. 

        Here's a half dollar if you dare. Double twist when you hit the air. 
        Look at Julie down below, the levee doin' the do-pas-o. 

        [Chorus] 

        Broken heart don't feel so bad, 
        You ain't got half of what you thought you had. 
        Rock your baby to and fro, not too fast and not too slow. 

        [Chorus] 

        That's the way it's been in town, 
        Ever since they tore the jukebox down. 
        Two bit piece don't buy no more, 
        Not so much as it done before. 

        [Chorus] 
        [Chorus-reggae beat] 2x 
        Get down and row, row, row 
 
 
 

 Rubin and Cherise  [Garcia/Hunter] 

        Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down. 
        It was the afternoon of carni-val as she brushes it gently down. 
        Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin. 
        It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade. 
        Played the Carnival Parade. 

        Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white. 
        When a fatal vision gripped her tight. Cherise beware tonight. 
        Rubin, Rubin tell me truly true, 
        I feel afraid and I don't know why I do. 
        Is there another girl for you? 

        If you could see my heart you would know it's true. 
        There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you. 
        I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, may I fall down cold. 

        When Rubin played on his painted mandolin, 
        The breeze would pause to listen in before going its way again. 
        Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke. 
        Like waves against the bandstand, dancers broke, 
        To the painted mandolin 

        [Bridge] 
        Looking out to the crowd, who is standing there? 
        Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared. 
        She was dressed as Pirouette in red, 
        And her hair hung gently down. 

        The crowd pressed round, Ruby stood as though alone. 
        Rubin's song took on a different tone and he played it just for her. 
        The song he played was the carnival parade. 
        Each note cut a thread of Cherise's fate it cut through like a blade. 

        Rubin was playing his painted mandolin. 
        When Ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings played all alone. 
        The voice of Cherise from the face of the mandolin, 
        Singing Rubin, Rubin tell me true, for I have no one but you. 

        If you could see my heart you would know it true. 
        There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you. 
        I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, may I fall down cold. 

        The truth of love an unsung song must tell. 
        The course of love must follow blind without a look behind. 
        Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn. 
        Cherise so lightly in his arms and her hair hung gently down. 
 

 Run for the Roses  [Garcia/Hunter] 
 

        Run, run, run for the roses, the quicker it opens, 
        The sooner it closes. 
        Man, oh man, oh friend of mine, all good things in all good time. 

        Reach for the sun, catch hold of the moon. 
        They're both too heavy, but what can you do. 
        Reach for the stars, smack into the sky. 
        You don't want to live but you're chicken to die. 
        Oh, you're chicken to die. 

        [Chorus] 

        Run for the money, caught short on the rent. 
        Big ideas, but the cash is all spent. 
        The trouble with love is its other face. 
        You just want the cup, but you don't want the race. 
        No, you don't want the race. 

        [Chorus] 
        [Jam on verse and chorus chords] 

        Reach for the rose, get caught on the briar. 
        You're warming to love, next thing there's a fire. 
        You got the Do Re, I got the Mi. 
        I got the notion, we're all at sea. 
        Yes, we're all at sea. 

        [Chorus] 3x 

        All goods things in all good time. 
 

 Run, Rudolph Run  [C.Berry] 

        Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind 
        Run, run Rudolph, Randalph's not too far behind 
        Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town 
        Randalph he can hurry, he can take the freeway down 
        And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round 

        Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?" 
        "All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar" 
        And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star 

        Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town 
        Can't you make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down 
        And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round 

        Said Santa to a girl child "What would you like most to get?" 
        "I want a little baby doll that can cry, scream and wet" 
        And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet 

        Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, a running like a son-of-a-gun. 
 

 Russian Lullaby  [I.Berlin] 

        Every night, the air cool, a Russian lullaby, 
        Just a plain little tune, when baby starts to cry. 
        Rock-a-bye my baby, somewhere there may be 
        A land that's free for you and me, and a Russian lullaby. 

        [Jam] 

        Every night, the air cool, a Russian lullaby, 
        Just a plain little tune, when baby starts to cry. 
        Rock-a-bye my baby, somewhere there may be 
        A land that's free for you and me, and a Russian lullaby. 
        A land that's free for you and me, and a Russian lullaby.
