Grateful Dead lyrics every hour. That's it. I want to get the words right (or at least do as well as Bobby), so feel free to reply with corrections.

The wheels are muddy Got a ton of hay Now listen here, baby, 'cause I mean what I say. I'm having a hard time, living the good life, Well I know

Well everybody's dancin' in a ring around the sun Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun. So take off your shoes, child, and take off your hat. Try on your wings and find our where it's at.

Going where the water tastes like wine Well I'm going where the water tastes like wine Going where the water tastes like wine I don't wanna be treated this a way

I went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine I looked up into heaven, lord I saw a mighty sign Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight

I was standing at the corner, talking to Miss Brown Well I turned around sweet mama, she was way across town So I'm walkin' down the street with a dollar in my hand I've been lookin' for a woman sweet mama, ain't got no man.

It's a buck dancer's choice my friend; better take my advice. You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice. Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? Wo, oh, what I want to know, will you come with me?

I spent a little time on the mountain Spent a little time on the hill I saw things getting out of hand I guess they always will

The shadow dance The silent war within The shadow dance Never ends, never ends, never ends Shadow boxing the apocalypse Yet again, yet again Shadow boxing the apocalypse And wandering the land

I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do I don't want to buy it I just want to rent it for a minute or two

Might as well, might as well Might as well, might as well Might as well, might as well Might as well, might as well

Shine your shoes, light your fuse. Can you use them ol' U.S. Blues? 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.

Goodbye Mama and Papa Goodbye Jack and Jill The grass ain't greener The wine ain't sweeter Either side of the hill.

I been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years, If I told you 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, Wait until that deal come round, Don't you let that deal go down, no, no.

Here's to lightning Well you always electrify me Someday I know you'll satisfy me And all that lightning will be My lightning too

Operator, can you help me Help me if you please Give me the right area code And the number that I need My rider left upon the midnight flyer Singing like a summer breeze

Last fair deal in the country, Sweet Suzie. Last fair deal in the town. Put your gold money where your love is baby, Before you let my deal go down

Well I taught that weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky Tears I cried for that woman gonna flood you, big river I'm gonna sit right here until I die

Walking in Jerusalem just like John I remember right well, I remember right well His rod and his staff shall comfort me

Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues Feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I would tear this whole building down

Tonight we need no rest We gonna really throw a mess We're gonna kick out all the windows We're gonna knock down all the doors

I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds Didn't get to sleep that night 'till the morning came around. Set out runnin' but I take my time, A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

Run, run, run for the roses Sooner it opens, the quicker it closes Man, oh, man, oh friend of mine All good things in all good time All good things in all good time

Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow tapping at the window, touch your hair So swift and bright strange figures of light float in air.

Walk into splintered sunlight, Inch your way through dead dreams to another land. Maybe you're tired and broken, Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear

Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care, Saw my baby down by the river, knew she'd have to come up soon for air.

In the end there's still that song comes cryin' like the wind. Down every lonely street that's ever been Stella blue. Stella blue.

Well you know son, you just can't figure, First thing you know you're gonna to pull that trigger, And it's no wonder, your reason goes bad, Jelly-roll will drive you stone mad.

Before you get on board, sir, your name we'd like to know She smiled all in her countenance, "they call me Jack-A-Roe" "Oh, they call me Jack-A-Roe"

Some come to laugh their past away Some come to make it just one more day Whichever way your pleasure tends If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind

Here's a half dollar if you dare Double twist when you hit the air, Look at Julie down below, The levee doin' the do-pas-o.

Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there I'll take my stand Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there I'll take my stand A rifle on my shoulder, six-shooter in my hand Lord, Lord, I've been all around this world

The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing, As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing That the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing Let it grow, Let it grow, Greatly yield.

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble, Ancient footprints are everywhere. Well you can almost think that you're seein' double On a cold dark night on the Spanish Stairs.

Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest; Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest; My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the West.

So forget about your yesterdays of sorrow And forget about the darkness you have seen For there's only you and me at the edge of an endless sea And remember that the only time is now

Ride in the whalebelly Fade away in moonlight Sink beneath the waters To the coral sands below Now is the time of returning

Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea, Thinking 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 will walk alone by the black muddy river And listen to the ripples as they moan I will walk alone by the black muddy river Sing me a song of my own

Quick beats in an icy heart, catch colt draws a coffin cart, There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry. Flight of the seabirds, Scattered like lost words, Wheel to the storm and fly.

Line up a long shot maybe try it two times, maybe more, Good to know you got shoes to wear when you find the floor, Why hold out for more? Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.

West L.A. fadeaway, West L.A. fadeaway Big red light on the highway, little green light on the freeway.

Seems like I've been here before Fuzzy then and still so obscure (Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye) And I don't want to see anybody cry Meet me some morning in the sweet by and by By and by, by and by

One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat He left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun Doing ninety miles an hour down the mainline run

Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow.

I only want to hold you,I don't want to tie you down Or fence you in the lines I might have drawn It's just that I have gotten used to having you around My landscape would be empty if you were gone

Don't the moon look good, mama, shining through the trees? Don't the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the "Double E"? Don't the sun look fine setting down over the sea? Don't my gal look fine when she's coming after me?

The shadow dance The silent war within The shadow dance Never ends, never ends, never ends Shadow boxing the apocalypse Yet again, yet again Shadow boxing the apocalypse And wandering the land

It's the same story the crow told me; it's the only one he knows. Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go. Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait, Wo, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?

You told me goodbye How was I to know You didn't mean goodbye You meant "please don't let me go"? I was having a high time, living the good life, Well I know
