Saint of Circumstance
[Weir/Barlow]
This must be heaven, tonight
I cross the line.
You must be the angel, I
thought I might never find.
Was it you I heard singing,
Oh while I was chasin' dreams.
Driven by the wind, like
the dust that blows around,
And the rain fallin' down,
but I never know.
Got to be heaven, cause
here's where the rainbow ends.
If this ain't the real thing,
then it's close enough to pretend.
When that wind blows, when
the night's about to fall.
You can hear the silence
call, it's a certain sort of sound,
Like the rain fallin' down.
Holes in what's left of my
reason, holes in the knees of my blues.
Odds against me been increasin',
but I'll pull through.
I never could read no road
map,
And I don't know what the
weather might do.
Hear that witch wind whine
and see the dog star shine,
I got a feeling there's
no time to lose, no time to lose.
I never know. I don't never
know, know, know.
Well it's been heaven, but
even the rainbows will end.
Now my sails are fillin'
and the wind is willin'.
And I'm as good as gone
again.
I'm still walkin', so I'm
sure that I can dance.
Just a Saint of Circumstance,
just a tiger in a trance.
And the rain fallin' down,
(rain fallin' down now).
Well, I never know now. Just
don't know. Just don't know.
Listen, sure don't know
what I going for, (just don't never know).
But I'm gonna go for it
for sure. (maybe goin' on a dream).
Maybe goin' on a feelin',
maybe goin' on a feelin'
Saint Stephen [Garcia/Hunter/Lesh]
Saint Stephen with a rose,
in and out of the garden he goes.
Country garden in the wind
and the rain,
Wherever he goes the people
all complain.
Stephen prosper in his time,
well he may and he may decline,
Did it matter; does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how.
Wishing well with a golden
bell; bucket hangin' clear to hell.
Hell halfway twixt now and
then.
Stephen fill it up and lower
down, and lower down again.
Lady finger, dipped in moonlight,
Writing, "What for?" across
the morning sky.
Sunlight splatters, dawn
with answers.
Darkness shrugs and bids
the day goodbye.
Speeding arrow, sharp and
narrow,
What a lot of fleeting matters
you have spurned.
Sev'ral seasons with
their treasons,
Wrap the babe in scarlet
colors, call it your own.
Did he doubt or did he try?
Answers aplenty in the by-and-by.
Talk about your plenty,
talk about your ills;
One man gathers what another
man spills.
Saint Stephen will remain;
all he's lost he shall regain.
Seashore wa,
Been here so long he's got
to callin' it home.
Fortune comes a crawlin';
calliope woman,
Spinnin' that curious sense
of your own.
Can you answer? Yes, I can.
But what would be the answer
to the answer man?
Samba In The Rain
[Vince Welnick and Robert Hunter]
Ten and ten is thirty
if you tell me it is so
Let's get down and dirty,
baby
Let's get sweet and low
Any way you call the shot
That's how it's gonna be
You can serve it cold or
hot
It's all okay by me
Tie me up with ribbon bow
Wrap me in cellophane
Send me out to steal the
show
or Samba in the rain
Samba in the rain oh baby
Samba in the rain
Let's get down and dirty
Don't bother to explain
Don't care if they call
a cop
and say we are insane
we'll keep goin' til we
drop
Samba in the rain
How many hours in a day
They tell me twenty four
There could be a couple
less
I know it aint no more
We can do the dirty bop
The Darktown Strutter's
Ball
Just as long as we don't
stop
We'll dance right up the
wall
We can do the bump and grind
The Apache in Spain
We can do the never mind
or Samba in the rain
The Same Thing [W.Dixon]
What makes a man go crazy
when a woman wears her dress so tight
What makes a man go crazy
when a woman wears that ol' dress so tight
Must be the same ol' thing
that make a tom cat fight all night
Now, why do all the big men
try to run a big-legged woman down
Now, why do all the big
men try to run a big ol' woman down
Must be the same ol' thing
that makes a bulldog a huggling 'round
It's that ol' same thing,
now tell me who's to blame
The whole world is fighting
about that ol' same thing
What make you feel so good
when your baby's in her evening gown
When your baby get a little
bit of an evening gown
Must be that same ol' thing
that makes a preacher lay his bible down
It's that ol' same thing,
it's that ol' same thing
Samson and Delilah [Traditional]
If I had my way, I would
tear this old building down.
Well Delilah was a woman,
she was fine and fair,
She had good looks, God
knows, and coal black hair.
Delilah she gained old Samson's
mind.
When first he saw this woman,
it could be the last time.
Delilah she sat down on
Samson's knee,
Said, "Tell me where your
strength lies if you please."
She spoke so kind, God knows,
she talked so fair,
Samson said, "Delilah, you
cut off my hair.
You can shave my head, clean
as my hand
And my strength will become
as natural as any old man.
If I had my way, if I had
my way, if I had my way,
I would tear this old building
down."
You read about Samson, all
from his works,
He was the strongest man
that ever had lived on earth.
One day when Samson was
walking along,
Looked down on the ground,
he saw an old jawbone.
He stretched out his arm,
God knows, chains broke like thread,
When he got to moving, ten
thousand was dead.
If I had my way, if I had
my way, if I had my way,
I would tear this old building
down.
[Jam on intro]
Now Samson and the lion,
they got in a tack,
Samson he crawled up on
the lion's back.
You read about this lion,
he killed a man with his paws,
But Samson got his hands
up around that lion's jaws.
And he ripped that beast,
God knows he killed him dead.
And the bees made honey
in the lion's head.
If I had my way, if I had
my way, if I had my way,
I would tear this old building
down.
Satisfaction [Richards/Jagger]
I can't get no, satisfaction.
I can't get no satisfaction.
Cause I try and I try and
I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't
get no.
When I'm driving in my car
and that man comes on the radio
And he's telling me more
and more about some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, Oh, no,
no, no. Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say.
When I'm watching my TV
and that man comes on
To tell me how white my
shirts (?)
Well he can't be a man
'Cause he doesn't smoke
the same cigarettes as me
When I'm riding 'round the
world
And I'm doin' this and I'm
signin' that
And I'm trying to make some
girl
Who tells me, baby maybe
come back later next week
Cause you see I'm on a losing
streak
Save the Whales [?]
When my grandpa was a boy,
he went down to the general store.
Saw a picture book of whales,
Shootin' his spout and flashin'
his tail.
Then he go, a sailor's dream,
cruisin' around on the salty sea.
Joinin' up with a fisher
crew go out and get him a whale or two.
Tell me what kind of men
are these that sail upon the salty seas.
Lovin' and drinkin' in the
afternoon,
Swabbin' the deck and sharpnin'
harpoons.
Hooray, up she rises. Hooray,
up she rises. Hooray, up she rises.
So early in the morning.
Lots of whales in the deep
blue sea, we kill them for the companies.
Drag 'em alongside and chop
'em in two,
Melt them down and sail
it to you.
There hardly is a sailor
alive, who can keep a tear from his eye.
Cause he remembers the good
old days
When there were no whales
to save.
Thank the Russians and the
Japanese for scouring the deep, blue sea.
Lookin' for ivory and perfume,
all the light you'll ever need.
Hooray, up she rises.
Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises.
So early in the morning.
Shanghi got a lot on the
move,
Put out from Boston in the
middle of June.
Thirty-six months out at
sea is nothing but death and misery.
Set off on a three year
cruise, Union ship and a Union crew.
And after six months he
began to see, whalin' not what it used to be.
A modern ship and a modern
crew, occalascopes and explodin' harpoons
A mechanical boat made of
steel,
A floatin' machine just
to kill all the whales.
Hooray, up she rises.
Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises.
So early in the mornin'.
When my grandpa was a boy,
he went down to the general store.
Saw a picture book of whales,
Shootin' his spout and flashin'
his tail.
Then he got a sailor's dream,
cruisin' around on the salty sea.

Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises.

Sawmill [?]
Once I was a slave at the
sawmill
Talk about a poor boy, talk
about a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill
My work was so hard at the
sawmill
Talk about a poor boy, talk
about a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill
See my teardrops falling
down my wife left this sawmill town
She said sawmill's life
had been a sin
The gravy were much too
thin
I can't work no more at
the sawmill
Talk about a poor boy, talk
about a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill
If you take your wife to
the sawmill
How you gonna please her,
how you gonna please her
When she wants a dollar
bill
She'll run away and leave
you at the sawmill
Women like a dollar, women
like a dollar. Yes and women always will.
See my teardrops falling
down my wife left this sawmill town
She said sawmill's life
had been a sin
The gravy were much too
thin. I can't work no more at the sawmill
Yes and women like a dollar,
yes and women like a dollar
Yes and women always will
Scarlet Begonias [Garcia/Hunter]
As I was walkin' 'round Grosvenor
Square,
Not a chill to the winter
but a nip to the air.
From the other direction,
she was calling my eye;
It could be an illusion,
but I might as well try, might as well try.
She had rings on her fingers
and bells on her shoes,
And I knew without askin'
she was into the blues.
She wore scarlet begonias
tucked into her curls;
I knew right away she was
not like other girls, other girls.
In the heat of the evening
when the dealing got rough,
She was too pat to open
and too cool to bluff.
As I picked up my matches
and was closing the door,
I had one of those flashes
I'd been there before, been there before.
Well, I ain't often right
but I've never been wrong;
Seldom turns out the way
it does in the song.
Once in a while you get
shown the light
In the strangest of places,
if you look at it right.
Well there ain't nothing
wrong with the way she moves,
Or scarlet begonias or a
touch of the blues.
And there's nothing wrong
with the look that's in her eye;
I had to learn the hard
way to let her pass by, let her pass by.
[Jam on verse chords]
The wind in the willow's
playin' "Tea for Two";
The sky was yellow and the
sun was blue.
Strangers stoppin' strangers
just to shake their hand;
Everybody is playing in
the heart of gold band, heart of gold band.
Searchin' [J.Leiber/M.Stoller]
Well, I've been searchin',
I've been searchin'
I've been searchin' every
week and day
Well, I've been searchin',
I've been searchin'
I've been searchin' every
which way
Like the North West Mountain
you know I'll bring her in someday
Well, if I have to climb
a mountain, you know I will
And if I have to swim a
river, you know I will
No matter where she goes,
Oh Lord, you know I will
And if I have to climb a
mountain, you know I will
And if I have to swim a
river, you know I will
I know she's hiding up there
If you marry him don't you
know I'll find her, child I will
Well Sherlock Holmes, Sam
Spade gonna put that child on me
No matter where she's hiding
She gonna tell me you're
coming
I'm gonna walk right down
that street just like bulldog jumping
Cause I've been searchin',
I've been searchin'
I've been searchin' every
which way
Like the North West Mountain
you know I'll bring her in someday
I Second That Emotion
[S.Robinson/A.Cleveland]
Maybe you'd like to give
me kisses sweet
Only for one night with
no repeat.
Maybe you'd go away and
never call.
And the taste of wine is
worse than none at all (oh little girl)
[Chorus]
In that case I don't want
no part. That would only break my heart.
Well, if you feel like loving
me and if you got the notion.
I second that emotion.
Well, if you feel like giving
me a lifetime of devotion.
I second that emotion.
Maybe you think that love
will tie you down.
You ain't got the time to
hang around.
Maybe you think that love
will make a fool.
And so it makes you wise
to break the rules.
[Chorus]
Maybe you'd like to give
me kisses sweet
Only for one night with
no repeat.
Maybe you'd go away and
never call.
And the taste of honey is
worse than none at all (oh little girl)
[Chorus]
Maybe you think that love
will tie you down.
You ain't got the time to
hang around.
Maybe you think that love
will make a fool.
And so it makes you wise
to break the rules.
[Chorus]
Well, if you feel like giving
me a lifetime of devotion.
I second that emotion.
