Early one mornin' the sun was shinin', I was layin' in bed, 
        Wond'rin if she'd changed at all if her hair was still red. 
        Her folks they said our lives together sure was gonna be rough. 
        They never did like Mama's homemade dress 
        Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough. 
        And I was standin' on the side of the road rain fallin' on my shoes. 
        Heading out for the East Coast, Lord knows I've paid some dues 
        Gettin' through - Tangled up in blue. 

        She was married when we first met, soon to be divorced. 
        I helped her out of a jam, I guess,but I used a little too much force 
        We drove that car as far as we could, abandoned it out West. 
        Split up on a dark sad night both agreeing it was best. 
        She turned around to look at me as I was walkin' away 
        I heard her say over my shoulder, We'll meet again someday 
        On the avenue - Tangled up in blue. 

        I had a job in the great north woods working as a cook for a spell. 
        But I never did like it all that much and one day the ax just fell. 
        So I drifted down to New Orleans where I happened to be employed. 
        Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat right outside of Delacroix. 
        But all the while I was alone the past was close behind, 
        I seen a lot of women, but she never escaped my mind. 
        And I just grew - Tangled up in blue. 

        She was workin' in a topless place and I stopped in for a beer. 
        I just kept lookin' at the side of her face in the spotlight so clear 
        And later on as the crowd thinned out, I's just about to do the same. 
        She was standing there in back of my chair 
        Said to me, "Don't you know my name?" 
        I muttered somethin' under my breath 
        She studied the lines on my face, 
        I must admit I felt a little uneasy, when she bent down to tie the 
        Laces of my shoe - tangled up in blue. 

        She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe. 
        "I thought you'd never say hello," she said. 
        "You look like the silent type." 
        Then she opened up a book of poems and handed it to me, 
        Written by an Italian poet from the thirteenth century. 
        And every one of them words rang true and glowed like burnin' coal, 
        Pourin' off of every page like it was written in my soul 
        From me to you - Tangled up in blue. 

        I lived with them on Montague Street in a basement down the stairs. 
        There was music in the cafes at night and revolution in the air. 
        Then he started into dealing with slaves, & something inside him died 
        She had to sell everything she owned and froze up inside. 
        And when finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn 
        The only thing I knew how to do was to keep on keepin' on 
        Like a bird that flew - Tangled up in blue. 

        So now I'm goin' back again I got to get to her somehow. 
        All the people we used to know they're an illusion to me now. 
        Some are mathematicians some are carpenter's wives, 
        Don't know how it all got started 
        I don't know what they're doin' with their lives. 
        But me, I'm still on the road, headin' for another joint. 
        We always did feel the same we, just saw it from another point 
        Of view - Tangled up in blue. 
 

 Tastebud     [?] 

        Woke up way after midnight, people 
        Just a little while, a little while before day 
        I could find no satisfaction 
        Turned my pillow to where my baby lay 
        I knew I was in a strange old town then 
        My sweet little angel she's so far away 

        Now I ain't got no friends here 
        Ain't got no, no good place to go 
        All my friends are back home 
        And I can't, I can't go there no more 
        You know I done just a little bit wrong 
        And I can't go back no more 

        Take me back baby 
        I can't help it if I need you so 
        Well I've been a bad man darling 
        But I won't, I won't get drunk no more 
        But if you did not did like you do 
        Baby I wouldn't have had to go 

        I'm coming back baby, baby I'm coming home 
        I'm coming back baby, baby I'm coming home 
        The way I love you darling 
        You've got to, got to know 
 
 

 Tell Mama  [?] 

        Your dogs ain't found a good girl, 
        One that love you and give you warning 
        Now you find that you been misused, 
        Well how many girls can think all right 
        She'd embarrass you anywhere, 
        She'd make her friends think that she didn't care 
        Give me the chance and I'd been begging 
        And I just want to take care of you and I want you to 

        Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need 
        Tell Mama, what you want and how that girl does things all right 
        Let me hear you say "Yash" 

        The girl you had didn't have no sense, 
        she wasn't worth all the time you spent 
        Had another man kick you out the door, 
        now that same dude is wearing your clothes 

        Tell your Mama, what you want, tell your Mama, what you need 
        Tell your Mama, what you got to have 
 

 Tennessee Jed  [Garcia/Hunter] 
 

        Cold iron shackles, ball and chain, 
        Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train. 
        You know you   bound to     wind up dead, 
        If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed. 

        Rich man step on my poor head, 
        When you get back you better butter my bread. 
        Well, do you know it's like I said, 
        You better head back to Tennessee Jed. 

        [Chorus] 
        Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be. 
        Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee. 

        Drink all day and rock all night, 
        The law come to get you if you don't walk right 
        Got a letter this morning, baby, and all it read: 
        You better head back to Tennessee Jed. 

        I dropped four flights and cracked my spine. 
        Honey, come quick with the iodine. 
        Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed. 
        Then you head back to Tennessee Jed. 

        [Chorus] 

        I run into Charlie Fog. 
        Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog. 
        My doggie turned to me and he said, 
        Let's head back to Tennessee Jed. 

        I woke up feelin' mean. 
        I went down to play the slot machine. 
        The wheels turned around, and the letters read, 
        You better head back to Tennessee Jed. 
 

 Terrapin Station - Lady With a Fan  [Garcia/Hunter] 
 

        Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme, suggesting rhythm, 
        That will not forsake you, till my tale is told and done. 
        While the firelight's aglow, 
        Strange shadows from the flames will grow, 
        Till things we've never seen will seem familiar. 

        Shadows of a sailor, forming winds both foul and fair, all swarm. 
        Down in Carlisle, he loved a lady many years ago. 
        Here beside him stands a man, a soldier from the looks of him, 
        Who came through many fights, but lost at love. 

        While the storyteller speaks, a door within the fire creaks; 
        Suddenly flies open, and a girl is standing there. 
        Eyes alight, with glowing hair, all that fancy paints as fair, 
        She takes her fan and throws it, in the lion's den. 

        Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? 
        I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance. 
        The sailor gave at least a try; the soldier being much too wise, 
        Strategy was his strength, and not disaster. 

        The sailor, coming out again, the lady fairly leapt at him. 
        That's how it stands today. You decide if he was wise. 
        The story teller makes no choice. Soon you will not hear his voice. 
        His job is to share the light, and not to master. 

        Since the end is never told, we paid the teller off in gold, 
        In hopes he will come back, but he cannot be bought or sold. 
 
 
 
 Terrapin Station  [Garcia/Hunter] 

        Inspiration, move me brightly. Light the song with sense and color; 
        Hold away despair. More than this I will not ask. 
        Faced with mysteries dark and vast, 
        Statements just seem vain at last. 
        Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to Terrapin. 

        Counting stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright; 
        The spiral light of Venus, rising first and shining best, 
        Oh, from the northwest corner, of a brand new crescent moon, 
        While crickets and cicadas sing,      a rare and different tune, 
        Terrapin Station. 

        In the shadow of the moon, Terrapin Station. 
        And I know we'll be there soon. 
        Terrapin, I can't figure out. Terrapin, if it's the end of beginning. 
        Terrapin, and the whistle is screaming. Terrapin. 
 

 Terrapin Station - At A Siding  [Hart/Hunter] 

        While you were gone, these faces filled with darkness. 
        The obvious was hidden.    With nothing to believe in, 
        The compass always points to Terrapin. 

        Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain. 
        You're back in Terrapin for good or ill again, 
        For good or ill again. 
 

 That's All Right, Mama  [Arthur Crudup] 

        My Mama told me, Papa done told me too 
        That gal you're foolin' with ain't no good for you 
        But that's allright, that's allright 
        That's allright now Mama, anyway you do 

        One and one is two, two and two is four 
        Don't leave me baby when you walk out the door 
        That's allright, that's allright 
        That's allright now Mama, anyway you do 

        That's allright Mama, that's allright with you 
        That's allright Mama, anyway you do 
 

  That's What Love Will Make You Do [H.Thigpen/J.Banks/E.Marlon] 
 
        When I hear your name, I start to shake inside. 
        When I see you stroll, I lose my self-control. 
        That's what love will do you for, that's what love will make you do. 
        No matter how hard I fight it, baby I'm still in love with you. 

        If you're ever in need, there's no limit to what I'll do. 
        I work eight days a week, baby, I'm giving it all to you. 
        That's what love will do for ya, that's what love will make you do. 
        No matter how hard I fight it, baby I'm still in love with you. 

        [Jam] 

        When they speak of beauty, you can stand the test. 
        When they talk about makin' love, baby you're the best. 
        I don't wanna brag about ya too much, and give others ideas. 
        I'm trying hard to express myself, 'cause baby that's the way I feel. 
        No matter how hard I fight it, baby I'm still in love with you. 

        [Jam] 

        When they speak of beauty, you can stand the test. 
        When they talk about makin' love, baby you're the best. 
        I don't wanna brag about ya too much, and give others ideas. 
        I'm trying hard to express myself, 'cause baby that's the way I feel. 
        That's what love will do for ya, that's what love will make you do.

        No matter how hard I fight it, baby I'm still in love with you. 
        No matter how hard I fight it, baby I'm still in love with you. 
 

 They Love Each Other  [Garcia/Hunter] 

        Mary run around, sailin' up and down, 
        Looking for a shot in some direction. 
        Got it from the top, it's nothing you can stop, 
        Lord, you know they made a fine connection. 

        They love each other. Lord you can see that it's true. 
        Lord you can see that it's true. Lord you can see that it's true. 

        He could pass his time, around some other line 
        But you know he chose this place beside her. 
        Don't get in the way, there's nothing you can say, 
        Nothing that you need to add or do. 

        They love each other. Lord you can see that it's true. 
        Lord you can see that it's true. Lord you can see that it's true. 

        [Jam] 

        It's nothing, they explain, it's like a diesel train. 
        You better not be there when it rolls over. 
        And when that train rolls in, you wonder where it's been. 
        You gotta try to see a little further.  

        They love each other. Lord you can see that it's true. 
        Lord you can see that it's true. Lord you can see that it's true. 
        Lord you can see that it's true. Lord you can see that it's true. 
        Lord you can see that it's true. 

        [ ADDITIONAL LYRICS FROM THE 1973 VERSION ] 

        Though you'll make a noise, just can't hear your voice. 
        All the dizzy ride on your cold shoulder. 

        Won't you believe what I say is true? 
        Everything I did I heard it first from you. 
        (Everything I tell you, I heard it first from you.) 

        Heard your news report, you know you're falling short. 
        Pretty soon, we'll trust you for the weather. 
        When that ship comes in, you won't know where it's been. 
        You got to try to see a little further. 
 

 Think  [?] 

        I could give up my friend, I know. 
        And in return, you could give up yours. 
        If you only think, what would we do later on? 
        What kind of life would we have, just in case we both were wrong? 

        I give up my woman, you give your man. 
        But it don't make sense, to take the chance. 
        If you only think, what would we do later on? 
        Just in case we both were wrong? 
 

 This Time Forever  [Weir/Barlow] 

        We had plenty of lovers, we put in our time 
        We were anything but blind 
        Just as certain angels of perpetual flight 
        When we met we saw the light 
        This time for sure, this time forever, but it turned to sand 
        Slipping through our hand, as time slipped away 

        She was a stranger, just a stranger, when I awoke and saw her face 
        She moved in for the winter, made a garden in May 
        Summer came and gone, I was gone when she left me 
        There was nothing to leave, swept away on a breeze 
        This time for sure, this time forever, but it turned to sand 
        Slipped right through our hand, as time slipped away 
        She was a stranger when I woke and saw her face 
 

  Throwing Stones  [Weir/Barlow] 
 

        Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free, 
        Dizzy with eternity. 
        Painted with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea. 
        Call it home for you and me. 

        A peaceful place or so it looks from space 
        A closer look reveals the human race. 
        Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face. 
        But afraid, we may our home to waste. 

        There's a fear down here we can't forget, 
        Hasn't got a name just yet.        Always awake, always around. 
        Singing ashes, ashes all fall down. Ashes, ashes all fall down. 

        Now watch as the ball revolves as the nighttime falls. 
        And again the hunt begins and again the blood wind calls. 
        By and by again, the morning sun will rise. 
        But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes. (Well I know) 

        It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets. 
        Staking turf, dividing up meat. 
        Nightmare spook, piece of heat; you and me, you and me. 

        Click flash blade in ghetto night. Rudies looking for a fight. 
        Rat cat alley, roll them bones. Need that cash to feed that jones, 
        And the politicians throwing stones. 
        Singing ashes, ashes all fall down. Ashes, ashes all fall down. 

         Commissars and pin-stripe bosses roll the dice. 
        Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price. 
        Money green or proletarian gray, selling guns instead of food today. 

        So the kids they dance, they shake their bones 
        And the politicians throwing stones. 
        Singing ashes, ashes all fall down. Ashes, ashes all fall down. 

        Heartless powers try to tell us what to think. 
        If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink. (Yeah) 
        History's page, will be neatly carved in stone. 
        The future's here, we are it, we are on our own. (On our own...) 

        If the game is lost then we're all the same. 
        No one left to place or take the blame. 
        We will leave this place an empty stone. 
        Or this shining ball of blue we can call our home. 

        So the kids they dance, they shake their bones 
        While the politicians are throwing stones 
        Singing ashes, ashes all fall down. 
        Ashes, ashes all fall down. 

        Shipping powders back and forth. 
        Singing "Black goes south while white comes north." 
        And the whole world full of petty wars. 
        Singing "I got mine and you got yours." 
        While the current fashions set the pace, 
        Lose your step, fall out of grace. 
        The radical he rant and rage, 
        Singing "Someone got to turn the page." 
        And the rich man in his summer home, 
        Singing "Just leave well enough alone." 
        But his pants are down, his cover's blown. 
        And the politicians throwing stones. 
        So the kids they dance they shake their bones. 
        'Cause it's all too clear we're on our own. 
        Singing ashes, ashes all fall down. Ashes, ashes all fall down. 
        Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free. 
        It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down. 
 

 Till The Morning Comes  [Garcia/Hunter] 
 

        Till the morning comes,    it'll do you fine. 
        Till the morning comes,    like a highway sign. 
        Showing you the way, leaving no doubt 
        Of the way on in or the way back out. 

        Tell you what I'll do; I'll watch out for you. 
        You're my woman now, make yourself easy, make yourself easy, 
        Make yourself easy. 

        Till we all fall down, it'll do you fine. 
        Don't think about what you left behind. 
        The way you came or the way you go. 
        Let your tracks be lost in the dark and snow. 

        [Bridge] 

        When the shadows grow, it'll do you fine. 
        When the cold winds blow it'll ease your mind. 
        The shape it takes could be yours to choose, 
        What you may win, what you may lose. 

        You're my woman now (make yourself easy).
