There was a California earthquake, in the year of '83 
       That shook the living daylights out of the Owen's County sea 
       There weren't a building still left standing when the dust had cleared away 
       Just a rumble in the distance all the way to San Andre 

       Well Sherman Buck was driving his old mule into town 
       When the big one came that shook so hard, 
       it knocked him to the ground 
       Lord there opened up a hole so big, 
       he just knew that his time was up 
       And it swallowed up that poor old mule 
       and it just missed Sherman Buck 

       (chorus) 
       California earthquake you just don't know what you've done 
       We might fall off in the ocean, 
       Lord, but you never make us run 
       You're a partner to the devil, 
       but we ain't afraid of him 
       And we'll build ourselves another town so you can tear it down again 

       And there came the quake of '99 that levelled Mission Creek 
       The earth was like an ocean churning, 
       with waves of twenty feet 
       Lord it sounded like a thousand trains were screaming underground 
       Clean across to San Joachim, 
       folks heard that mournful sound 

       Then it came one day a holocaust and it rocked the Frisco Bay 
       Miles of walls came tumbling down like on Jericho that day 
       Mighty near everything that the eartquake missed, 
       a full day fire consumed 
       And just left the smoke and the ashes of the dreams 
       that they had burned 
 
 

 Candyman  [Garcia/Hunter] 
 
       Come all you pretty women, with your hair a hanging down, 
       Open up your windows 'cause the Candyman's in town. 
       Come on boys and gamble, roll those laughing bones, 
       Seven come eleven, boys I'll take your money home. 
       Look out, look out the Candyman,  here he comes and he's gone again. 
       Pretty lady ain't got no friend till the Candyman comes around 
       Again. 

       I come in from Memphis where I learned to talk the jive, 
       When I get back to Memphis there'll be one less man alive. 
       Good morning Mr. Benson, I see you're doing well, 
       If I had me a shotgun I'd blow you straight to hell. 

       [Chorus] 

       Come on boys and wager if you have got the mind, 
       If you've got a dollar, boys lay it on the line, 
       Hand me my old guitar, pass the whiskey 'round, 
       Won't you tell everybody you meet that the Candyman's in town. 

       [Chorus] 
       [Chorus] 
 

 Can't Come Down  [?] 

       Well I'm flying down desert streets wrapped in mother's wine & sheets 
       Asbestos boots on flaming feet dreaming of forbidden treats, 
       When uniforms on nighttime beats ask me where I'm going & what I eat. 
       I answer them with a voice so sweet, 

       I can't come down till it's plain to see. 
       I can't come down I've been set free. 
       Who you are and what you do don't make no difference to me. 

       Well someone trying to tell me where it's at, 
       And how I do this and why I do that, 
       With secret smiles like a Chesire cat, 
       And little wings like a vampire bat, 
       I fly away to my cold water flat and eat my way to a bone of fat, 
       And I say to the man with the funny hat, 

       They say I'll be good to lose my grip, 
       My hold on reality is starting to slip, 
       To tell me to got off with this trip, 
       The say its like a sinking ship, 
       Life is sweet it's too warm to sip, 
       And if I drink I'll chuck and flip, I'll just say as I take a nip, 

       Oh I dream of cotton seas and granite walls and redwood trees, 
       And ugly eye that only sees endless mirrors and infinite me's, 
       About the winter's coming freeze this afterthought I say with ease, 
       To all of you who make your fees. 
 

 Casey Jones  [Garcia/Hunter] (GDA,GD1) 

       Driving that train, high on cocaine, 
       Casey Jones you'd better       watch your speed. 
       Trouble ahead, trouble behind, 
       And you know that notion       just crossed my mind.  (Fill) 

       This old engine makes it on time, 
       Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine. 
       Hits River Junction at seventeen to; 
       At a quarter to ten you know it's trav'lin' again. 

       [Chorus] 

       Trouble ahead, the lady in red, 
       Take my advice, you'd be better off dead. 
       Switchman's sleeping, Train Hundred and Two is 
       On the wrong track and headed for you. 

       [Chorus] 

       Trouble with you is the trouble with me; got 
       Two good eyes but we still don't see. 
       Come 'round the bend, you know it's the end. 
       The fireman screams and the engine just gleams. 

       [Chorus] 

       And you know that notion just crossed my mind. 
 

 Cassidy  [Weir/Barlow] (GDA) 
 

        I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream. 
        I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream. 
        Ah child of countless trees,      ah child of boundless seas. 
        What you are; what you're meant to be 
        Speaks his name for you were born to me, born to me, Cassidy. 

        Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac. 
        I can tell by the way you smile he is rolling back. 
        Come wash the nighttime clean,   come grow the scorched ground green. 
        Blow the horn, tap the tambourine. 
        Close the gap of the dark years in between, you and me, Cassidy. 

        Quick beats in an icy heart, catch colt draws a coffin cart, 
        There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry. 

        Flight of the seabirds,        Scattered like lost words. 
        Wheel to the storm and fly. 
        [Jam - On first verse chords] 
        Faring thee well now. Let your life proceed by its own design. 
        Nothing to tell now. Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine. 
        Faring thee well now. Let your life proceed by it's own design. 
        Nothing to tell now. Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine. 
        Flight of the seabirds,        Scattered like lost words. 
        Wheel to the storm and fly. 
 

 Catfish John  [B.McDill/A.Reynolds] 

       Mama said, "Don't go near that river, 
       Don't be hanging around old Catfish John." 
       Come in the morning I'd always be there, 
       Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn. 

       Take me back to another morning, to a time so long ago, 
       When the sweet magnolia blossomed, cotton fields as white as snow. 

       Catfish John was a river hobo who lived and died by the river's bed, 
       Looking back I still remember I was proud to be his friend. 

       Mama said, "Don't go near that river, 
       Don't be hanging around old Catfish John." 
       Come in the morning I'd always be there, 
       Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn. 

       Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg, traded for a chestnut mare, 
       Lord her never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear. 

       Mama said, "Don't go near that river, 
       Don't be hanging around old Catfish John." 
       Come in the morning I'd always be there, 
       Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn. 
       Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn. 
 

 Cats Under the Stars  [Garcia/Hunter] 

       Cats on the blacktop, birdie in the treetop, 
       Someone plays guitar that sounds like clarinet. 
       I ain't ready yet, to go to bed, 
       I think I'll take a walk downtown instead. 

       Cats on the bandstand, Give'em each a big hand, 
       Anyone who sweats like that must be all right. 
       No one wants to fight; no blackeye, 
       Just another cat beneath the stars tonight. 

       Cats in the limelight, feels like it's alright, 
       Everybody wants something they might not get. 
       I ain' ready yet, it ain't complete, 
       That's why I am headin' down to Alleycat Street. 

       Satin blouse unbuttoning, satin blouse unbuttoning, 
       Time is a stripper's doin', it's just for you. 
       Time is a stripper's doin', it's just for you. 

       Knock in the brass tacks, cover up your tracks Jack, 
       You ain't nowhere till you can pay your own way back. 
       What else do you lack to make it right, 
       But cats down under the stars tonight. 
 

 Caution (Do Not Stop On The Tracks)  [McKernan] 

       I went down one day, I went down one day to see a Gypsy woman, 
       Just one old day, yes I did, 
       I want to find out, I want to find out, 
       I want to find out, I want to find out now, 
       What's wring with me and my baby. 
       We ain't gettin' down like we used to do, 
       I mean it's pretty good now, but there was a time, 
       When it didn't work too well. 

       I went down to see this Gypsy woman, you understand, 
       I told her my story, I told her what was goin' on. 
       And she told me, man she said, all you need, all you need, 
       She said all you got to have, oh Lord, 
       Just a touch of Mojo's hand, oh bring it back on, 
       And it feels pretty good, yes indeed. 
 

 C. C. Rider  [Traditional] 

       Well now C., C. C. Rider, well now see, see what you have done. 
       Well now C., C. C. Rider, well now see, see what you have done. 
       Well you made me love you woman, now your man is gone. 

       So I'm goin' away now baby and I won't be back till fall, 
       I'm goin' away now baby and I won't be back till fall, 
       Just might find me a good girl might not be commin' back at all. 

       Well now C., C. C. Rider, see now the moon is shining bright, 
       Well now C., C. C. Rider, see now the moon is shining bright, 
       Just might find me that good girl and everything would be alright. 

 
 Childhood's End [Phil Lesh] 
 
       When I was hoppin' freights and makin' payments on the farm 
       Here between the angels and the deep blue sea 
       You were runnin', laughin', growin' sheltered from the storm 
       Dreamin' of the day the moon would set you free 
       Yeah, to sing your siren song so sweet and warm 

       River run deep 
       River run slow 
       Get a little restless 
       Wanna see some whales blow 
       River run cold 
       River run clear 
       That feeling always gets to me 
       'Round about this time of year 

       Scoutin' unknown borders under multi-colored moons 
       In the wildest flights of cosmic mystery 
       Rang a single soarin' tone that strung the sky in tune 
       As the silence in my heart rose from the sea 
       Aaah, to greet you in the dawn with a pale harpoon 

       River run restless 
       River run high 
       Runnin thru a hailstorm 
       Try to catch a star on the fly 
       River run muddy 
       River flow like tears 
       Cocoon of life surroundin'  us 
       Holdin all our hopes and fears 

       Reach behind the wind 
       Search beyond the stars 
       We're the life on Mars 

       When the day grows dark and scary scatterin' the light 
       All the colors run away and hide behind your knees 
       The same sweet thunder tumbles rollin' down the night 
       Like a mothership that calls for you and me 
       Come on, and drift along that sky river bright 

       River run swiftly 
       River run wide 
       Feel like sailin 
       On the morning tide 
       River run golden 
       River run true 
       Set a course and follow 
       Ooooh, the star that leads to you 
 
 

 China Cat Sunflower  [Garcia/Lesh/Hunter] (GDA) 

       Look for a while at the China Cat Sunflower, 
       Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun. 
       Copper dome bodhi drip a silver kimono 
       Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind. 

       Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandanna 
       Like a one-eyed Cheshire, like a diamond eye jack. 
       A leaf of all colors plays a golden string fiddle, 
       To a double-E water fall over my back. 

       Comic book colors on a violin river crying 
       Leonardo words from out a silk trombone. 
       I rang a silent bell beneath a shower of pearls 
       In the eagle winged palace of the Queen Chinee. 
 

 China Doll  [Garcia/Hunter] (GD2) 

       A pistol shot,    at five o'clock,  the bells of heaven ring, 
       Tell me what you done it for. No, I won't tell you a thing. 
       Yesterday I begged you before I hit the ground. 
       All I leave behind me is only what I found. 

       If you can abide it, let the hurdy-gurdy play. 
       Stranger ones have come by here before they flew away. 
       I will not condemn you nor yet would I deny. 
       I would ask the same of you but failing, will not die. 

       Take up your china doll (take up your china doll). 
       It's only fractured; just a little nervous from the fall. 
       La-la-la-la-la-la-la. 
 

 Chinatown Shuffle  [McKernan] 

       Take it, you can have it. What I got baby, I can't hold. 
       And if you got the secret, tell me how to build the mold. 
       And I can't handle your problem, don't try to handle mine, 
       Get yourself a shotgun, a pocketful of shells, 
       While away the time. 

       Get it right, do it nice, 
       If you make a mistake, you're going to pay for it twice. 
       But if you need it, got to have it. 
       Get yourself a shotgun and bring it back home. 

       Look up the wall, you know you got to call. 
       Before you start falling, be ready to fall. 
       And if you fall in my direction, don't expect no help at all. 

       Look up the wall, you know you got to call. 
       Before you start falling, be ready to fall. 
       And if you fall in my direction, don't expect no help at all. 
       Don't expect no help at all, don't expect no help at all. 
       And if you fall in my direction,   don't expect no help at all.
