 Money Money  [Weir/Barlow] 

        My baby gives me the finance blues, 
        Tax me to the limit of my revenues. 
        Here she comes finger-poppin', clickety-click 
        She says furs or diamonds, you take your pick. 

        She wants money, what she wants, 
        She wants money, what she wants, 
        She wants money, what she wants, 
        She wants money, what she wants, 
        Money money, money money money. 
        Money money, money money money. 

        She say, "Money, honey", I'd rob a bank, 
        I just load my gun and mosey down to the bank. 
        Knockin' off my neighborhood savings and load, 
        To keep my sweet chiquita in eau de cologne. 

        She wants money, what she wants, 
        She wants money, what she wants, 
        Money money, money money money. 
        Money money, money money money. 

        Mama don't send me down to rob that bank again, 
        I got a notion that your leadin' me to sin. 
        Won't you relax, won't you lay way back, 
        Don't you bug your honey 'bout no Cadillac. 
        It's only bucks, you don't need no jack. 
        So won't you please relax and lay way back. 

        My baby's lovin' gives me such a thrill; 
        It gives me inspiration makin' counterfeit bills. 
        Now some folks say the best things in life are free, 
        I sure don't get no lovin' livin' honestly. 

        She wants money, what she wants, 
        She wants money, what she wants, 
        Money money, money money money. 
        Money money, money money money. 

        Lord made a lady out of Adam's rib, 
        Next thing you know, you got women's lib. 
        Lovely to look upon, Heaven to touch; 
        It's a real shame that they got to cost so much. 
 

 Monkey and the Engineer  [J.Fuller] 

        Once upon a time there was an engineer. 
        Who drove a locomotive both far and near. 
        Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on a stool, 
        Watching everything the engineer would do. 
        One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat, 
        He left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat. 
        The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun 
        And did 90 miles an hour down the mainline run. 

       [Chorus] 
        Big locomotive right on time, 
        Big locomotive coming down the line. 
        Big locomotive, number ninety-nine, 
        Left the engineer with a worried mind. 
        [Jam on verse chords] 
        The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone, 
        To tell him all about his locomotive was gone. 
        To get on the wire, switch operator to right, 
        Cause the monkey's got the mainline sewed up tight. 

        Switch operator got the message in time, 
        Said there's a Northbound limit on the same main line, 
        Open up the switch I'm gonna let him through the hole, 
        Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control. 

        [Chorus] 
        [Jam on verse chords] 
        [Chorus] 
        Left the engineer with a worried mind. 
        Left the engineer with a worried mind. 
 

 Morning Dew  [B.Dobson] 

        Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, 
        Walk me out in the morning dew today. 

        I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey, 

        I can't walk you out in the morning dew today. 

        I thought I heard a baby cry this morning, 
        I thought I heard a baby cry this today. 
        You didn't hear no baby cry this morning, 
        You didn't hear no baby cry today. 

        Where have all the people gone my honey, 
        Where have all the people gone today. 
        There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people, 
        You never see those people anyway. 

        I thought I heard a young man mourn this morning, 
        I thought I heard a young man mourn today. 
        I thought I heard a young man mourn this morning, 
        I can't walk you out in the morning dew today. 

        Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, 
        Walk me out in the morning dew today. 
        I'll walk you out in the morning dew my honey, 
        I guess it doesn't matter anyway, 
        I guess it doesn't matter anyway (repeat ad lib) 
 

 Mountains of the Moon  [Garcia/Lesh/Hunter] 

        Cold mountain water, the jade merchant's daughter, 
        Mountains of the moon, electra bow and bend to me. 
        Hi ho the carrion crow fol de rol de riddle 
        Hi ho the carrion crow bow and bend to me. 

        Hey, Tom Banjo hey a laurel, more than laurel you say sow. 
        More than laurel you may sow. 
        Hey, the laurel, hey the city in the rain, 
        Hey, hey, hey the wild wheat waving in the wind. 

        Twenty degrees of solitude, twenty degrees in all, 
        All the dancing kings and wives assembled in the hall. 
        Lost is the long and loneliest town fairly sybil flying. 
        All along the, all along the mountains of the moon. 

        Hey, Tom Banjo it's time to matter, 
        The earth will see you on through this time, 
        The earth will see you on through this time. 

        Down by the water, the Marsh King's daughter, did you know? 
        Clothed in totters always will be.  Tom, where did you go? 

        Mountains of the moon, Electra, mountains of the moon, 
        All along the, all along the mountains of the moon. 

        Hi ho the carrion crow fol de rol de riddle 
        Hi ho the carrion crow bow and bend to me. 
        Bend to me.  Na da da da da da da da da da da da. 
 

 The Music Never Stopped  [Weir/Barlow] 

        There's mosquitoes on the river,   fish are rising up like birds. 
        It's been hot for seven weeks now, too hot to even speak now. 
        Did you hear what I just heard? 

        Say it might have been a fiddle, or it could have been the wind. 
        But there seems to be a beat now, I can feel it my feet now. 
        Listen, here it comes again. 

        [Bridge] 
        There's a band out on the highway,   they're high steppin' into town. 
        It's a rainbow full of sound. It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns. 
        Everybody dancin'. 
        C'mon children,    c'mon children, come on clap your hands. 

        Sun went down in honey,    and the moon came up in wine. 
        You know, stars were spinnin' dizzy; Lord, the band us so busy, 
        We forgot about the time. 

        [Jam on B (old version)] 

        They're a band beyond description, like Jehovah's favorite choir. 
        People joining hand 'n' hand, while the music plays the band. 
        Lord, they're settin' us on fire. 

        Crazy rooster crowin' midnight, balls of lightin' roll along. 
        Old men sing about their dreams, women laugh and children scream 
        And the band keeps playin' on. 

        [Bridge] 
        Keep on dancin' thru the daylight, greet the mornin' air with song. 
        No one's noticed but the band's all packed and gone. 
        Was it ever here at all? But they kept on dancin'. 
        C'mon children, c'mon children, come on clap your hands. 

        Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday, and the corn's a bumper crop. 
        And the fields are full of dancin', full of singin' and romancin'. 
        The music never stopped. 
 
 

 My Babe  [W.Dixon] 

        My baby don't stand no foolin' with love. 
 

 My Sisters and My Brothers   [?] 

        I want to say to my sisters & my brothers, keep the faith. 
        When the storm flies & the wind blows, go on at a steady pace. 
        When the battle is fought & the victories won. 
        We can all shout together, we have overcome. 
        We will talk to the father in the sun, 
        When we make it to the promised land. 

        [Refrain] 
        If we walk together little children. 
        We don't ever have to worry, through this world of trouble. 
        We've got to love a-one another. 
        Let us take our fellow man, by the hand, try to 
                                                            help him to understand. 
        We can all be together, forever and ever, 
        When we make it to the promised land. 

        Our bible reads, thall shall not be afraid 
        Of the terror by night or the arrow that flies by day. 
        Nor for the pessimists that walketh in the dark, 
        Nor for the destruction that waiteth in the noonday hour. 
 
        [Refrain] 

        This world is not our home, we are only passing through. 
        Our trail is all made up, way beyond the blue. 
        Let us do the very best that we can, 
        While we're travelin' through this land. 
        We will all be together, shakin' a hand, 
        When we make it to the promised land. 
 
        When we make it to the promised land, make it to the promised land. 
        When we make it to the promised land, make it to the promised land. 
        We can all be together, forever and ever 
        When we make it to the promised land. 
        When we make it to the promised land. 
        When we make it to the promised land. 
 

 Mystery Train  [Phillips/Parker] 
 

        Train I ride, sixteen coaches long. 
        Train I ride, sixteen coaches long. 
        The woman I love, she's on that train and gone. 

        Train, train, rollin' down the track. 
        Train, train, rollin' down the track. 
        It took away my baby, and it's never comin' back. 

        Well I went down to the station, to meet my baby at the gate 
        Asked the station master, "Is your train running late?" 
        She said she'd be waiting on the 4:44 
        Well, I hate to tell you boys, that train don't stop here any more. 

        Train train, rolling down the track. 
        Train train, rolling down the track. 
        It took away my baby, you know it ain't comin' back. 

        [Jam] 

        Train train, rolling 'round the track. 
        Train train, rolling 'round the track. 
        It took away my baby, you know it ain't bringing her back. 

        Train I ride, sixteen coaches long. 
        Train I ride, sixteen coaches long. 
        The woman I love, she's on that train and gone. 

        Well I went down to the station, to meet my baby at the gate 
        Asked the station master, "Is your train running late?" 
        Heard that whistle blow across the middle of the night 
        When I got down to the station the train was way out of sight. 

        Train train, rolling 'round the bend. 
        Train train, rolling 'round the bend. 
        It took away my baby, I'll never see her again. 
        It took away my baby, I'll never see her again. 
        It took away my baby, I'll never see her again.
