| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00  | one of my favorite Dead songs for this rainy day... Wharf Rat Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Jerry Garcia Old man down Way down, down by the docks of the city Blind and dirty Asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee I got no dime, but I got some time to hear his story My name is August West And I love my Pearly Baker best, more than my wine More than my wine More than my maker, though he's no friend of mine Everyone said I'd come to no good, I knew I would Pearly, believe them Half of my life Spent doing time for some other fucker's crime The other half found me Stumbling around, drunk on burgundy wine But I'll get back on my feet someday The good lord willing, if he says I may I know that the life I'm living's no good I'll get a new start, live the life I should I'll get up and fly away I'll get up and fly away Pearly's been true True to me, true to my dying day, he said I said to him I said to him, I'm sure she's been I said to him, I'm sure she's been true to you I got up and wandered Wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just to hang around I've got a girl Named Bonny Lee, I know that girl's been true to me I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00 | one more off of Jerry's Pizza Tapes... Man Of Constant Sorrow Lyrics: Traditional Played by Jerry Garcia with David Grisman I am a man of constant sorrow I have seen trouble all my days I bid farewell to old Kentucky The State where I was born and raised For six long years I've been in trouble No pleasure here on earth I've found For in this world I'm bound to travel I have no friends to help me now You may bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you'll never see no more But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Apr. 01 | Mission In The Rain Music: Jerry Garcia I turn and walk away Then I come round again Looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same I must turn down your offer But I'd like to ask a break You know I'm ready to give anything For anything I take Someone called my name you know I turned around to see It was midnight in the mission and the bells were not for me Come again Walking along in the mission in the rain Come again Walking along in the mission in the rain Ten years ago I walked this street, my dreams were riding tall Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dreams at all Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true But everything you gather is just more that you can lose All the things I planned to do, I only did half way Tomorrow will be Sunday, born of rainy Saturday There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain No matter what comes down, the mission always looks the same | ||||
