Gray Beard Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away 'Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I sat on a rug biding my time Drinking her wine We talked until two and then she said "It's time for bed" She told me she worked In the morning and started to laugh I told her I didn't And crawled off to sleep in the bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) There's a fly in the window A dog in the yard And a year since I saw you There's a trunk in the corner I keep all my letters My bills and demands I keep too Well I can't help thinking About the times You were a wife of mine You aimed to please me Cooked black-eyed peas-me Made elderberry wine Drunk all the timeFeeling fine on elderberry wineThose were the daysWe'd lay in the hazeForget depressive timesHow can I ever get it togetherWithout a wife in lineTo pick the crop and get me hotOn elderberry wine Edited September 24, 2019 by The Real Buffalo Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Raspberries, strawberries, the good wines we brew.Here's to the girls of the countryside, the ones we drink 'em to. Paris nights are warm and fair. The summer winds are soft. A young man finds the face of love in every field and loft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence. 23 minutes ago, row_33 said: That coyote is really a crazy clown, When will he learn he can never mow him down?

Gray Beard Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Well they're headin' for their car but I hit the gas And spun around and headed them off at the pass Well I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air Well I had them all out there steppin' an' a fetchin' Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin' But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there When I hit the road I was really wheelin' Had gravel flyin' and rubber squeelin' An' I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) RIP Robert Hunter, penned the lyrics for Jerry's songs about gamblers and hired guns and other badassery of the Old West... If I had a gun for every ace that I had drawn I could arm a town the size of Abilene Don't you push me baby, 'cause I'm moaning low And you know I'm only in it for the gold All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars (note 1) And I could pay you back with one good hand You can look around at the wide world over But you'll never find another honest man Last fair deal in the country, sweet Susie (note 2) Last fair deal in the town Put your gold money where your love is baby Before you let my deal go down Don't you push me baby, 'cause I'm moaning low Well I know a little something you won't ever know Don't you touch hard liquor, just a cup of cold coffee Gonna get up in the morning and go Everybody's bragging and drinking that wine I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines Come to daddy on an inside straight Well I got no chance of losing this time Well I got no chance of losing this time Edited September 24, 2019 by row_33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 More from Robert Hunter: Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down,And it looks like the old man's getting on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Come hear uncle John's band by the riverside,Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide.

Gray Beard Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done Only the good die young 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 You choke down all your anger Forget your only son You pray to statues when you sober up for fun Your anger don't impress me The world slapped in your face It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten, around here When you're thinking you're a joke and nobody's going to listen To the one small point I know they've been missing around here Broadway's dark tonight A little bit weaker than you used to be Broadway's dark tonight See the young man sitting in the old man's bar Waiting for his turn to die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
