Cold Rain and Snow by Skjellifetti Well, I'll marry me a wife, she's been trouble all my life-- walk me out in the cold rain and snow. Rain and snow! Walk me out in the cold rain and snow. Well she's coming down the stairs, holding back her yellow hair, and I ain't gonna be treated this a way-- this a way, and I ain't gonna be treated this a way. She went up to her room, and she sang a fateful tune, and I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow. Winds don't blow, and I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow. But I'm married to her life, she's been trouble all my life, walk me out in the cold rain and snow.

Comes A Time by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter Comes a time when the blindman takes your hand, says don't you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill, only love can fill. Been walking all morning went walking all night I can't see much difference between the dark and light And I feel the wind And I taste the rain Never in my mind to cause so much pain. Comes a time when the blindman takes your hand, says don't you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill, only love can fill. >From day to day just letting it ride You get so far away from how it feels inside You can't let go cause you're afraid to find That the day may come when you can't feel at all. Comes a time when the blindman takes your hand, says don't you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill, only love can fill, only love can fill, only love can fill. Cosmic Charlie by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter 1/76 Cosmic Charlie how do you do Truckin' in style along the avenue Dum de dum de do da lee do Go on home your mama's calling you. Calico Cal, ya come tell me the news Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her Rosey red and electric blue I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe. Say you'll come back when you can Whenever your airplane happens to land Maybe I'll be back here too It all depends on what's with you. Woke up waiting for a windy day Cat on I (?) since the first of February Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow But standing here I say I just don't know. New ones come in as the old ones go Everything's moving here but much too slowly A little bit quicker and we might have time To say how do you do before we left behind. Calliope wail like a seaside zoo The very last lately inquired about you It's really very one or two The first you wanted the last I knew. I just wonder if you shouldn't feel less concerned about the people unreal The very first word is how do you do The last go home your mama's calling you. Calling you oo oo oo oo oo Calling you oo oo oo Calling you oo oo oo Calling you oo oo oo Calling you oo oo oo Go on home your mama's calling you Calling you oo oo oo Go on home your mama's calling you Calling you oo oo oo Go on home your mama's calling you Go on home your mama's calling you Crazy Fingers by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter Your rain falls like crazy fingers peals of fragile thunder keeping time Recall the days that still are to come some sing blue. Hang your heart on laughing willow stray down to the water, deep sea of love beneath the sweet calm face of the sea swift undertow. Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know see how it feels in the end. May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you soft, strong, sweet and true. Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow tapping at the window, touch your hair So swift and bright strange figures of light float in air. Who can stop what must arrive now something new is waiting to be born Dark as the night you're still by my side Shininside. Gone are the days we stopped to decide where we should go, we just ride. Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams gone, both dream and lie. Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know Feels like it might be alright, While Lady Lullaby sings plainly through you Love still rings true. Midnight on a carousel ride reaching for the gold ring down inside, Never could reach it, just slips away When I try. Cream Puff War by Jerry Garcia No, no!

Dark Star by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter 4/75 Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes. Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis. Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion. Shall we go, you and I while we can through the transitive nightfall of diamonds? Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter. Glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving. Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of goodbye. Shall we go, you and I while we can through the transitive nightfall of diamonds? Deal by Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, and Robert Hunter 10/75 Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose, you and me bound to spend some time, wonderin' what to choose, Goes to show, you don't ever know, watch each card you play and play it slow, Waitin' til that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down, no, no. I been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years, if I told ya all that went down, it would burn off both of your ears. Goes to show you don't ever know watch each card you play and play it slow, Waitin' til that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down, no, no. Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes, I hate to leave you sitting there, composing lonesome blues. Goes to show you don't ever know watch each card you play and play it slow, Waitin' til that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down. Waitin' til that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down. Waitin' til that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down, don't you let that deal go down, don't you let that deal go down.

Dire Wolf by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter 8/74 In the timbers of Fennario, the wolves are running round, the winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me, please, don't murder me. I sat down to my supper; 'twas a bottle of red whiskey, I said my pray'rs and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me, please, don't murder me. When I awoke, the dire wolf, six hundred pounds of sin, was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in." Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me, please, don't murder me. The wolf came in. I got my cards, we sat down for a game. I cut my deck to the queen of spades but the cards were all the same. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me, please, don't murder me. In the backwoods of Fennario, the black and bloody mire, the dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me, please, don't murder me. No, no, no don't murder me, I beg of you, please don't murder me, please don't murder me. Doin' That Rag by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia 4/76 Da da da da da da da da da da da Sing in rainbow valley chasing light beams Everything wanders from baby to Z Baby baby pretty up on Tuesday Old like a rum-drinking demon at tea.

Everywhere I go, the people all know Everyone's doin' that rag. Everywhere I go, the people all know Everyone's doin' that rag. Take my line, go fishin' for a Tuesday, Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea. Gave my baby twenty or forty good reasons, Couldn't find any better ones in the morning at three. The rain gonna come, but the rain gonna go y'know. Steppin' off sharply from the rank and file. Often cold and dark like a dungeon Maybe get a little bit dark for the day. All these tripsters, real cool chicksters (???) Everyone's doin' that rag. Hipsters, tripsters, real cool chicksters Everyone's doin' that rag. You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset. No one is watchin', a'standing in your shoes. Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning, Everything promised is delivered to you. Don't neglect to pick up what your share is, All the winter birds are winging home now. Hey love go, and look around you, Nothing out there you haven't seen before now. Wade in the water and you'll never get wet If you keep on doin' that rag. Wade in the water and you'll never get wet If you keep on doin' that rag. One-eyed jacks and the dueces are wild And the aces are crawlin' up and down your sleeve. Come back here baby Louise And tell me the name of the game that you play. Is it all fall down? Is it all go under? Is it all fall down? Is it all go under? Is it all fall down? Is it all go under? Is it all fall down? Is it all go under? Is it all fall down? Is it all go under? Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?

Well baby, baby wants a gold diamond ring Wants it more than most any old thing Well when I get those jelly roll blues Why I'd go and get anything in this world for you. And down to the jewelry store packing a gun, says, "Wrap it up. I think I'll take this one." "A thousand dollars please." the jewelry man said, Dupree he said, "I'll pay this one off to you in lead." Well you know son you just can't figure, first thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger, and it's no wonder your reason goes bad, jelly roll will drive you stone mad. Judge said, "Son, you know it's gonna cost you some time." Dupree said, "Judge, you know that crossed my mind." Judge said, "N'fact it's gonna cost you your life." Dupree he said, "Judge, you know that seems to me to be about right." Well baby, baby's gonna lose her sweet man, Dupree come out with a losing hand, Baby's gonna weep at home for awhile, then go out and find another sweet man's gonna treat her with style.
