Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, head's all empty and I don't care,

Saw my baby down by the river, knew she'd have to come up soon for air.

Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you'll abide

We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside.

She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,

Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed

Well, she comes skimmin' through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew,

She don't come and I don't follow, waits backstage while I sing to you.

Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm, jump like a Willy's in four wheel drive.

She's a summer love in the spring, fall and winter. She can make happy any man alive.

Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing

I'll walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me.

She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,

A breeze in the pines in the summer night moonlight, crazy in the sunlight yes indeed.

Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying, when the moon is half way down,

Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander 'round.

Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes

Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely,

Light out singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine

Sunshine, daydream. Sunshine, daydream. Walking in the sunshine.

I miss Jerry,,

wheel,

Cold iron shackles, ball and chain,

Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train.

You know you bound to wind up dead,

If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed.

Rich man step on my poor head,

When you get back you better butter my bread.

Well, do you know it's like I said,

You better head back to Tennessee Jed.

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be,

Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee.

Drink all day and rock all night,

The law come to get you if you don't walk right

Got a letter this morning, baby all it read,

You better head back to Tennessee Jed.

I dropped four flights and cracked my spine,

Honey, come quick with the iodine,

Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed

Then you head back to Tennessee Jed.

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be,

Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee.

I run into Charlie Fog,

Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog,

My doggie turned to me and he said,

Let's head back to Tennessee Jed.

I woke up a feelin' mean,

Went down to play the slot machine,

The wheels turned around, and the letters read,

You better head back to Tennessee Jed.

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be,

Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee.

That's not Jerry, Wheel--probably Robert Hunter, Dead lyricist.

Hunter and Wier fought over the '...jump like a Willys in 4-wheel drive...' line and other changes the band would make to his lyrics

But yeah--I miss Garcia too.

^ I know.Weir wrote the song...

But there is no Dead w/o Jerry...

wheel,

Jerry's dead???????????????

Ron

^ Yep..

He looks like FGM now...

wheel,

first saw the dead in 1973

I had eatin a bunch of window pane and and that was their first song and they played it for 45 minutes...I hate that song.

Winter rain, now tell me why

Summers fade and roses die

The answer came, the wind and rain

Golden hills now veiled in gray

Summer leaves have blown away

Now what remains, the wind and rain

And like a desert spring my lover comes and spreads her wings

(Knowing)

Like a song that's born to soar the sky

(Flowing)

Till the waters all are dry

(Growing)

The loving in her eyes

Circle songs and sands of time

And seasons will end in tumbled rhyme

And little change, the wind and rain

And like a desert spring my lover comes and spreads her wings

(Knowing)

Like a song that's born to soar the sky

(Flowing)

Till the rivers all are dry

(Growing)

The loving in her eyes

Winter gray and falling rain

We'll see summer come again

Darkness fall and seasons change

(Gonna happen every time)

Same old friends the wind and rain

(We'll see summer by and by)

Winter gray and falling rain

(Summers fade and roses die)

We'll see summer come again

(Like a song that's born to soar the sky)

Beans

That i ate

Made me Flatulate

Flatulate

Flatulate

#6....you're funny

lookin'

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 whos to guide you?

If I knew the way I would take you home.

saw them in portland the last show they played there before jerry croaked. Good show. Chuck berry opened. Too bad the crowd stunk and i was with my folks and was the only sober one there!

I really like Robert Hunter's lyrics.
