Land of the Navajo [P.Rowan]
[Chorus]
Oh, the wind blows cold,
on the trail of the buffalo.
Oh, the wind blows cold,
in the land of the Navajo.
In the land of the Navajo.
A hundred miles from nowhere
out on the desert sand,
One-Eyed Jack, the trader,
held some torquoise in his hand.
He bide his sites at Running
Elk, his long time indian friend,
He vowed that he would stay
by Jack until the bitter end.
Jack had gambled everything
he owned to lead this wanderin' life,
He might've had a happy
home and a tender loving wife.
But his hunger was for trading
trapper's furs for torquoise stone.
Anything that the indians
had, Jack wanted for his own.
[Chorus]
[Jam on chorus chords]
Said Jack to Running Elk,
"I'll gamble all my precious stones,
Before I leave my body here
among these bleachin' bones.
But now my time is drawing
near and I'm filled with dark regrets,
My spirit longs to journey
as the sun begins to set."
"For we raped and killed,
we stole your land,
We ruled with guns and knives.
Fed whiskey to your warriors
while we stole away your wives."
Said Running Elk, "What's
done is done, you white men rule this land.
So lay the cards face up
and play your last broken-hearted hand."
[Chorus]
[Jam on chorus chords]
When you're dealing cards
with death, the jokers wild, the aces high,
Jack bid the Mississippi
River, Running Elk raised him the sky.
Jack saw him with the sun
and moon and upped him with the stars.
Running Elk bet the Rocky
Mountains, Jupiter, and Mars.
The sun was sinking in the
west when Jack drew the ace of spades,
Running Elk just rolled
his eyes, his smiling passed away.
Jack picked up his torquoise
stones and cast them to the sky.
He stared into the setting
sun and then made the mournful cry.
Last Train to Jacksonville
[?]
Are you lonely for me baby,
are you lonely for me baby
Are you lonely for me baby,
last train to Jacksonville
I'll get on it baby, you
know I will, come on and try
Go ahead and try to get

you, I'm lonely baby, lonely and blue
I'm lonely baby, I'm lonely

Are you lonely for me baby?
This time I'm going to Jacksonville
Are you going, sweet baby,

Are you lonely for me baby?
Lord, I'm going to Jacksonville
Are you going, sweet baby,

Say you'll be there,
Got a feeling that when

When the feeling, I got
a feeling that without your love baby
I'm lonely babe, lonely and
blue, I'm sorry baby,
Long before you
Are you lonely for me baby?
Lazy Lightning [Weir/Barlow]
Lazy lightnin' sleepy fire
in your eyes
It's like desire in disguise
I keep on tryin' but I,
I can't get through
Lazy lightnin' I'd like
to find the proper potion
That's gonna capture your
emotion
You're right beside me but
I, I can't get through
You're a loop of lazy lightnin',
just a loop of lazy lightnin'
Must admit you're kinda
frightnin' but you really get me high
So exciting, when I hear
your velvet thunder,
You seem so near I start
to wonder
Would you come closer if,
if I asked you to?
So inviting, the way you're
messing with my reason
It's an exception but it's
pleasing
Tell me a lie and I will
swear, I'll swear it's true.
You're a loop of lazy lightnin'
(Lazy lightnin')
Just a loop of lazy lightnin'
(Lazy lightnin')
Must admit you're kinda
frightening
Just a loop of lazy lightnin'
Put the fire in my eyes
(Lightnin')
Put the fire every time
(Lightnin')
Put the fire in my heart
(Lightnin')
Well come on lazy lightning.
Just a loop of lazy lightning
Misty lightning, well you
always electrify me
Someday I know you'll satisfy
me
And all that lightnin' will
be my lightnin' too.
My lightnin' too.
(My lightnin' too)
Just a loop of lazy lightnin'
(My lightnin' too)
My lightnin' too.
(My lightnin' too)
Just a loop of lazy lightnin'
(My lightnin' too)
My lightnin' too.
(My lightnin' too)
Oh come on lazy lightnin'
(My lightnin' too)
Lazy River Road
(Hunter/Garcia)
Way down upon Sycamore Slough
A white man sings the blues
selling roses of paper mache
with flecks of starlight
dew
I swiped a bunch and threw
it your way
where hazy moonlight glowed
Way down, down along Lazy
River Road
Way down upon Shadowfall
Ward
End of the avenue
Run, hide, seek in your
own backyard
Mama's backyard won't do
All night long I sang love's
sweet song
down where the water flowed
Way down, down along Lazy
River Road
Moonlight wails as hound
dogs bay
but never quite catch the
tune
Stars fall down in buckets
like rain
til there ain't no standing
room
Bright blue boxcars train
by train
clatter where dreams unfold
Way down, down along Lazy
River Road
Way down upon Seminole Square
belly of the river tide
Call for me and I will be
there
for the price of a taxi
ride
Night double-clutches into
today
like a truck downshifting
its load
Way down, down along Lazy
River Road
Thread the needle
right through the eye
The thread that runs so
true
All the others I let pass
by
I only wanted you
Never cared for careless
love
but how your bright eyes
glowed
Way down, down along Lazy
River Road
Let It Grow (Weather Report Suite Part
II) [Weir/Barlow]
Morning comes, she follows
the path to the river shore;
Lightly sung, her song is
the latch on the morning's door.
See the sun sparkle in the
reeds; silver beads pass into the sea.
She comes from a town where
they call her the woodcutter's daughter;
She's brown as the bank
where she kneels down to gather her water,
And she bears it away with
a love that the river has taught her.
Let it flow, greatly flow,
wide and clear.
Round and round, the cut
of the plow in the furrowed field;
Seasons round, the bushels
of corn and the barley meal.
Broken ground open and beckoning
to the spring;
Black dirt live again.
The plowman is broad as the
back of the land he is sowing,
As he dances the circular
track of the plow ever knowing
That the work of his day
measures more than
the planting and growing.
Let it grow, let it grow,
greatly yield.
[Bridge]
What shall we say, shall
we call it by a name,
As well to count the angels
dancing on a pin.
Water bright as the sky
from which it came
And the name is on the earth
that takes it in.
We will not speak but stand
inside the rain
And listen to the thunder
shout, "I am, I am, I am, I am!"
[Jam on verse chords]
So it goes, we make what
we made since the world began;
Nothin' more, the love of
the women, work of men.
Seasons round, creatures
great and small,
Up and down as we rise and
fall.
Let It Rock [C.Berry]
Well up in the evening,
down in Mobile, Alabama.
Working on a railroad with
a steel driving hammer.
Got to make some money,
buy some brand new shoes.
Try to find somebody take
away these blues.
She don't love me here I'm
singing in the sun.
Payday's coming when my
work is all done.
Early in the evening when
the sun is sinking low.
All day I've been waiting
for the whistle to blow.
Sitting in a tee-pee built
right on the track.
Rolling them bones 'till
the foreman comes back.
Pick up your belongings
boys and scatter about.
We got an off scheduled
train just two miles out.
Everybody's scramblin' and
a running around.
Picking up the money, tearing
the tee-pee down.
The foreman was about to
panic, 'bout to go insane.
Trying to get the workers
out the way of the train.
Engineer blowing the whistle
loud and long
Can't stop the train we
gotta let it roll on.
Let Me In 83968 [?]
A little boy knocked at the
warden's door at Sing Sing
Said in tears, "Yes sir,
I understand that 83968 lives here."
He's my daddy, sir, and
I just got to be near him
And if you can't let him
out then you just got to let me in
Let me in, let me in, 83968's
my dad
I watched the burial of
my mama
Now he's all in the world
that I have
But I can break your little
rocks with a hammer in my hand
I just got to be near daddy,
Mr. Warden please let me in
When I checked through California
happy trails out on the rock
From Folsom on to Jacksonville,
no one had my heart
When I found the newspaper
clipping in my mama's souvenirs
And now I'm here in Sing
Sing 83968
Let Me Sing Your Blues
Away [K.Godchaux/Hunter]
Gonna hop in the hack then
turn on the key,
Pop in the clutch, let the
wheels roll free,
Not a cloud in the sky,
such a sunny day,
Push in the button, let
the top ten play.
Come on honey, let me sing
'em away,
Come on honey, let me sing
'em away,
Oh, honey, let me sing your
blues away.
Give me a little of that
old time love,
Cause I ain't never had
near enough.
Honey, walk that walk with
style and grace,
This ain't no knock-down
drag-out race.
It don't matter much, pick
any gear,
Brind you a pound and drop
the rear.
Baby, baby what can I say,
I'm here to drive those
blues away.
I sent a letter to a man
I know,
Said, "One for the money
and two for the show."
I wait all summer for his
reply
Said, "Three to get ready
and four to fly."
Only two things in the world
I love,
That's rock 'n' roll and
my turtle dove.
When I was a young man I
needed good luck,
But I'm a little bit older
now and I know my stuff.
Come on honey, let me sing
'em away,
Come on honey, let me sing
'em away,
Oh, honey, let me sing your
blues away.
Let The Good Times Roll
[Sam Cooke]
Get in the groove and let
the good times roll,
We gonna stay here till
we soothe our soul,
If it takes all night long.
Come on and let the good
times roll,
We gonna stay here till
we soothe our soul,
If it takes all night long.
The evening sun is sinking
low,
The clock on the wall says
it's time to go.
But I got plans, and I got
plans for you,
I'll tell you exactly what
we're all gonna do
[Chorus]
Listen!
It might be twelve o'clock
and it might be three.
Time doesn't mean that much
to me.
Ain't felt this way since
I don't know when,
I don't know when I'm gonna
feel this way again.
So come on,
[Chorus]
It might be six o'clock and
it might be eight.
It don't matter if it's
getting late.
We gonna make the band play
one more song,
And get in the groove if
it takes all night long.
[Chorus]
All night (all night), all
night (all night)
It might take all night
long (all night), all night (all night)
Might take all night (all
night), all night (all night)
All night long (all night),
all night long (all night) [adlib vocals]
Get in the groove and let
the good times roll,
We gonna stay here till
we soothe our soul,
If it takes all night long.
