Bo Diddley [B.Diddley]
Hey, Bo Diddley dee.
Bondi Pier [?]
I was down by Bondi Pier, drinkin'
tubes of ice cold beer,
With a bucket full of prawns upon
my knee,
When I swallowed the last prawn,
I had a technicolor yawn and I
chundered in the old Pacific Sea.
Drink it up, drink it up,
Crack another dozen tubes and
prawns with me,
If you want to throw your voice,
mate you won't have any choice,
But to chunder in the Old Pacific
Sea.
I was sittin in the surf, when
a mate of mine called Murf,
Asks if he can crack a tube or
two with me.
The bastard barely swallowed it,
When he went for the big split,
And he chundered in the Old Pacific
sea.
Drink it up, drink it up,
Crack another dozen tubes and
prawns with me,
If you want to throw your voice,
mate you won't have any choice,
But to chunder in the Old Pacific
Sea.
I've had liquid laughs in cars,
and I've hurled from moving cars,
And I've chuckled when and where
it suited me.
But if I could choose the spot,
To regurgitate me lot, then I'd
chunder in the Old Pacific Sea.
Drink it up, drink it up,
Crack another dozen tubes and
prawns with me,
If you want to throw your voice,
mate you won't have any choice,
But to chunder in the Old Pacific
Sea.
Book of Rules (H. Johnsen/B. Llewellyn)
Isn't it strange how princesses
and kings
Can clown their capers in sawdust
rings,
Just like poor people like you
and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless lines, and a book of
rules.
Each must make his life (as flowing
ink/e'er as flown)
A stumbling block or a stepping
stone,
Just like poor people like you
and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless lines, and a book of
rules.
Pow pa Pow Pow, Pow Wa-Pa-Pa Pow
Pow
Wa-pa-pa-pow pow, wa-pow pa pow
pow pow.
And I say small people like you
and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless masks, and a book of
rules.
Look where the rain is fallen from
the sky.
I know the sun will be only missing
for awhile.
And I say poor people like you
and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless masks, and a book of
rules.
Pow pa Pow Pow, Pow Wa-Pa-Pa Pow
Pow
Wa-pa-pa-pow pow, wa-pow pa pow
pow pow.
And I say small people like you
and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless lives, and a book of
rules.
Pow pa Pow Pow, Pow Wa-Pa-Pa Pow
Pow
Wa-pa-pa-pow pow, wa-pow pa pow
pow pow. (4X)
Born Cross-Eyed [Weir] (GDA)
Seems like I've been here before,
Fuzzy then and still so obscure,
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
And I don't want to see anybody
cry,
Meet me some mornin' in the sweet
by and by, by and by, by and by.
Song comin' on,
So pleasin' to see, come and gone,
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
You don't have to tell me why,
Meet me some mornin' in the sweet
by and by, by and by, by and by.
It ain't cause I'm the only one
left darlin',
Bout the time the sun rises west,
Feelin' groovy, lookin' fine.
Think I'll come back here again,
Every now and then from time to
time.
My how lovely you are, my dear,
The ball game has gone much too
far my dear,
Sing to me, do your thing to me,
I'll meet you some mornin', meet
you some mornin',
In the sweet by and by, by and
by, by and by.
Box Of Rain [Lesh/Hunter] (GDA,GD1)
Look out of any window, any morning,
any evening, any day.
Maybe the sun is shining, birds
are winging,
No rain is falling from a heavy
sky.
What do you want me to do, to
do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon, long ago.
Walk out of any doorway, feel your
way,
Feel your way like the day before.
Maybe you'll find direction,
Around some corner where it's
been waiting to meet you.
What do you want me to do, to
watch for you while you're sleeping?
Then please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too.
Look into any eyes you find by
you; you can see clear to another day.
Maybe been seen before,
Through other eyes on other days
while going home.
What do you want me to do, to
do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed one
afternoon, long ago.
Walk into splintered sunlight,
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land.
Maybe you're tired and broken,
Your tongue is twisted with words
half spoken and thoughts unclear.
What do you want me to do, to
do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain,
and love will see you through.
Just a box of rain, wind and water,
Believe it if you need in, if
you don't just pass it on.
Sun and shower, wind and rain,
In and out the window like a moth
before a flame.
And it's just a box of rain, I
don't know who put it there;
Believe it if you need it, or
leave it if you dare.
And it's just a box of rain, or
a ribbon for your hair;
Such a long long time to be gone,
and a short time to be there.
Boys in the Barroom [Hunter]
Does God look down on the boys
in the barroom,
Mainly forsaken but surely not
judged.
Jacks, kings, and aces, their
faces in wine,
Do lord deliver our kind.
From singing for whiskey three
strings on the fiddle,
Four on the guitar and a song
that I love.
Many's the night we spent picking
and singing,
In hopes it be pleasing both here
and above.
Jack's string fiddle to my sawtooth
bow,
Who loves lonlieness loves it
alone.
I love the dim lights like some
love the dew,
Only thing I wonder sometimes:
Does God look down on the boys
in the barroom,
Mainly forsaken but surely not
judged.
Jacks, kings, and aces, their
faces in wine,
Do lord deliver our kind.
Bring Me My Shotgun [?]
Oh bring me my shotgun, bring me
back some shells,
Why don't you just bring me my
shotgun,
Bring me back a pocket full of
shells,
Well you know if I don't get myself
a little competition,
You know there's gonna be some
trouble 'round here.
Well you know my mama told me,
she said,
You gonna have bad luck, son,
don't care where you go,
So why don't you bring me my shotgun.
Early in the morning when the sun
gonna rise,
She lets her rolling go moonshine
bright,
In the morning bring me my shotgun,
Well I can stand in the mist for
a while,
But I can't stand it for very
long.
Brokedown Palace [Garcia/Hunter]
(GD1)
Fare you well, my honey, fare you
well my only true one.
All the birds that were singing
are flown, except you alone.
Goin' to leave this brokedown
palace,
On my hands and my knees I will
roll, roll, roll.
Make myself a bed by the waterside,
In my time, in my time, I will
roll, roll roll.
In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside
I will lay my head.
Listen to the river sing sweet
songs, to rock my soul.
River goin' to take me, sing sweet
and sleepy,
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the
way back home.
It's a far gone lullaby sung many
years ago.
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come
since I first left home.
Goin' home, goin' home, by the
waterside I will rest my bones.
Listen to the river sing sweet
songs, to rock my soul.
Going to plant a weeping willow;
On the bank's green edge it will
grow, grow, grow.
Singin' a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river
roll, roll, roll.
Fare you well, fare you well, I
love you more than words can tell.
Listen to the river sing sweet
songs, to rock my soul.
I'm gonna listen to the river
sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
Broken Arrow [Robbie Robertson]
Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain
There he goes, moving across the
water
There he goes turning my whole
world around
Do you feel what I feel
Can we make that it's part of
the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms
of steel
Lay your heart on the line...this
time
I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot
Summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that
cover me
Didn't you show me a sign, this
time
Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain
There he goes, moving across the
water
There he goes turning my whole
world around
Can you see what I see
Can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness
tree
Leave the whole world behind
I want to come when you call
I'll get to you if I have to crawl
They can't hold me with these
iron walls
We've got mountains to climb
Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain
There he goes, moving across the
water
There he goes turning my whole
world around
Brother Esau [Weir/Barlow]
My brother Esau killed the hunter,
back in 1969,
Before the killing was done his
inheritance was mine.
When at first my brother walked
away,
Before a weary band,
Esau gave his sleeplessness for
a piece of moral land.
Our father favored Esau, he was
eager to obey,
All the wild commandments, the
old man shot his way.
But all this ended when, my brother
failed at war,
He staggered home and found me
in the door.
Esau skates on mirrors anymore
Meets his pale reflection at the
door.
Sometimes at night I dream, he's
still that hairy man,
Shadow boxing the apocalypse,
wandering the land.
Esau holds the blessing, brother
Esau holds the curse,
I was thinking that the blame
was mine,
But suspected something worse.
The more my brother looks like
me, the more I understand,
The silent war it bloodied both
our hands.
Sometimes at night I think I understand.
None of us can win.
Outside that dream, still that
hairy man.
Well sometimes at night I think
I understand.
Shadowboxing the apocalypse, wandering
the land.
Brown-Eyed Women [Garcia/Hunter]
(GDA)
Gone are the days when the ox fall
down,
Take up the yoke and plow the
fields around.
Gone are the days when the ladies
said, "Please,
Gentle Jack Jones won't you come
to me."
[Chorus]
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine.
The bottle was dusty but the liquor
was clean.
Sound of the thunder with the
rain pourin' down,
And it looks like the old man's
gettin' on.
1920 when he stepped to the bar,
drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar
1930 when the wall caved in. He'd
made his way selling red-eyed gin.
[Chorus]
Delilah Jones was the mother of
twins,
Two times over and the rest were
sins.
Raised eight boys, only I turned
bad,
Didn't get the lickin's that the
other ones had.
[Chorus]
Tumble-down shack in Big Foot County.
Snowed so hard that the roof caved
in.
Delilah Jones went to meet her
god,
And the old man never was the
same again.
Daddy made whiskey and he made
it well.
Cost two dollars and it burned
like hell.
I cut hick'ry just to fire the
still,
Drink down a bottle and be ready
to kill.
[Chorus]
Gone are the days when the ox fall
down,
Take up the yoke and plow the
fiends around.
Gone are the days when the ladies
said' "Please,
Gentle Jack Jones won't you come
to me."
[Chorus]
And it looks like the old man's
getting on.
Built to Last [Garcia/Hunter]
There are times when you must beckon,
There are times when you must
fall.
You can take a lot of reckoning,
But you can't take it all.
There are times when I can help
you out,
And times when you must fall.
There are times when you must
live in doubt,
And I can't help at all.
Two blue stars, shine o'er the
hill.
Plead no more, now just be still.
Through the night, now safely
there.
Show me something built to last.
Been held by the fire,
Yes and I'm, held by the ring.
You can walk on balls of fire,
But sometimes you might bleed.
There are times when I have begged
you
And you do the same to me.
If you can't or won't admit it,
At least we pulled you through.
Three blue stars, set o'er the
hill.
Call them back; you never will.
All these trials, soon be dead.
We all need something built to
last.
Built to last 'till time of seven,
Falls tumbling from the sky.
Built to last 'till lightness
fades,
And darkness falls on all.
Built to last 'till years roll
back
Our couch perched in the sky
Show me something different,
Or something built to try.
There are times when you get hit
up on,
Try hard but you cannot give.
Other times, you'd gladly go
with what you need to give.
Don't be afraid to save your face,
When you have done your best
Now I won't forget,
Next day try the rest.
All the stars, are gone but one.
Morning dreams, we found the Sun.
Through the night, now safely
there,
Show me something built to last
Two blue stones, shine o'er the
hill.
Call it back; you never will
All these trials, now are dead.
Show me something built to last.
All the stars, are gone but one.
Morning dreams. Here comes the
sun.
Through the night, now sinking
fast.
Show me something built to last.
