Grateful Dead Lyrics Game

box of rain

Here's a half dollar if you dare...

 

row jimmy


Other half found me stumbling around, drunk on burgundy wine

 

Wharf Rat


Recall the days that still are to come
Some...sing blue

 

whatever they still sang it...

crazy fingers

She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed

 

sugar magnolia ....i love those lyrics so much!

here's a fun one:
"And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be"

 

me and my uncle

this ones so easy...

Got a wife in Chino, babe
And one in Cherokee
First one says she's got my child
But it don't look like me

 

Friend of the Devil!!

This must be heaven -
This is where the rainbow ends.

 

Saint of Circumstance

Now it's time for de nazarite funk:


He ripped the beast till he killed him dead.
The bees made honey in the lion’s head.

If I had my way...

 

samson and delilah

hmmm...

like an angel, standin in a shaft of light, risin up to paradise, oh you know im gonna shiiiiiine....

 

estimated prophet

wake of the flood, laughing water...

 

here comes sunshine

Wonder who will water all the children of the garden

 

St. Stephen

Okay, we have to do more than this. If you can, try to post a fact, didbit, triva, first time you saw it/heard it, something about the song that you identify.

For example: I have heard that St. Stephen was about Stephan Gatskin, the famous UC Berkeley professor who moved his group of lovelies from the haight to the farm in Tenn. Also, St. Stephen was the first Christian Martyr. Martyrs are sometimes shown holding a red rose, the most abundant icon in GD symbolism. The rose was a central symbol in gnostic and alchemical mystery cults.

Since I didn't start going to shows till '94, I never saw St. Stephen live, but I think I remember them teasing it a time or two.

so next one:

When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on the fly

 

Black Muddy River

My bad,I don't have any useless trivia for this song, next time promise




"Wind held by the collar
Yes, a cloud held by the breeze
You can walk on coals of fire
But sometimes you must freeze"

 

Annie laid her head down in the roses.
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair.
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.

I don't know, it must have been the roses,
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.

Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea,
Thinkin' well how it may blow in all good company,
If I tell another what your own lips told to me,
Let me lay 'neath the roses, till my eyes no longer see.

I don't know, it must have been the roses,
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.

One pane of glass in the window,
No one is complaining, no, come in and shut the door,
Faded is the crimson from the ribbons that she wore,
And it's strange how no one comes round any more.

I don't know, it must have been the roses,
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.

Annie laid her head down in the roses.
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair.
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.

This one is Easy........

 

"must have been the roses"

this ones even more easy-
"I'll drink your health, share your wealth, run your life, steal your wife.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my."

Dire Wolf

you guys skipped my first one post 300 so here it is again

"wind held by the collar
yes,a cloud held by the breeze
you can walk on coals of fire
but sometimes you must freeze"

 

Bulit to last
all the stars are gone buy one.."And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone."

she wore rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes...
