 Anybody have the lyrics to Monkey and the Engineer?  I can get throught the
first verse and the chorus, but have a heck of a time with the rest..

	Monkey and the Engineer
	(Jesse Fuller)
	 
	 Once upon a time there was an engineer
	 he drove a locomotive both far and near
	 accompanied by a monkey who would sit on a stool,
	 a-watchin' ev'rything the engineer would move.
	 
	 One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat.
	 He left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat.
	 The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun
	 and did ninety miles an hour down the main line run.
	 
	 Big locomotive right on time,
	 big locomotive comin' down the line,
	 big locomotive number ninety nine,
	 met the engineer with a worried mind.
	 
	 The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone,
	 told 'em all of how his locomotive was gone.
	 Get on the wire, switch operator to ride
	 'cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight.
	 
	 Switch operator got the message in time,
	 said "There's a north bound limited on the same main line.
	 Open up the switch, I'm gonna let her through the hole
	 'cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control."
	 
	 Big locomotive right on time,
	 big locomotive comin' down the line,
	 big locomotive number ninety nine,
	 met the engineer with a worried mind.
	 
	 Worried mind.
	 Worried mind.
	 

    well, since that worked so well, how about the full score to Brother
    Esau??  chords and/or lyrics?

    Ooh, I'd like the lyrics to Wharf Rat, too!  Tried explaining what the
    song meant to my girlfriend last night, and I didn't do a very good
    job. :)

Wharf Rat  by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter  8/75 


Old man down
way down down,
down by the docks of the city.

Blind and dirty,
asking for a dime,
a dime for a cup of coffee,
I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story.

My name is August West,
and I love my Pearly Baker best.
More than my wine,
more than my wine--
more than my maker,
though he's no friend of mine.

Everyone saying
I've come to no good
I knew I would--Pearly, believe them.

Half of my life,
I spent doing time for some other fucker's crime,
the other half found me stumbling round drunk on burgundy wine.

But I'll get back on my feet someday,
The good Lord willing, if he says I may.
I know that the life I'm livin's no good,
I'll get a new start, lead the life I should.

I'll get up and fly away,
I'll get up and fly away,
fly away.

Pearly's been true,
true to me, true to my dying days,
I said to him,
I said to him, I'm sure she's been
I said to him, I'm sure she's been true to you.

Got up and wandered,
wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around.

I gotta girl, 
named Bonnie Lee,
I know that girl's been true to me.
I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me.

    (smile)  Thanks.  Now...how about Golden Road and Rosemary? :)
    
    Rob
    

    Wharf Rat's pretty straight forward as far as Dead tunes go - it's
    about a guy who meets a panhandler who tells him his life story.
    Not much to read into - except for the guy onthe 'net who insists
    that "Pearly Baker" was a 45 caliber pearl handled Colt revolver. :-)
    
    There's a lyrics file going around. Perhaps someone has a copy that you 
    can scam. It's better than having to post lyrics all the time.

    There's a lyrics file going around?  Ooh...maybe I can find someone who
    has it...  I guess, for now, that I'll just have to settle for what
    I've got. :)
    
    Rob
    

unless it is no longer accessible there is a file on SPICE:: someplace.
It's listed in one of the early replies of this note.  I know, cause I
didn't destroy that!!!  :-)

The lyrics file on spice is way old, fun of innacuracies, and in need of some 
good old fashioned tlc.  I have some other files with a few additions, and 
their are some newer lyrics for newer songs spattered around this file and 
Grateful_old.  Maybe someday, I'll find the time to compile them all.

The list originally came for Dave feuerstein, So please don't murder me.

One of my more favorite misguidings from that file:

	"I bought you a pallet for your paper canoe..."

Which I believed for years, imagining a canoe made out of paper sitting on a 
skid before I realized it was paddle, not pallet.  :-}

So, please point out any obvious mistakes for me...

      So how mon do I access this file mon??? Can you E-mail it to me
    instead,Mon???

    	Franklin's Tower,... Garcia/Hunter I believe...subject to
    correction but fairly accurate I think...
    
    
    
    In another's time, forgotten space
    your eyes looked from your mothers face
    Wild flower seed on the sane and stone
    may the four winds blow you safely home
    
    Chorus (roll away...)
    
    I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
    in Franklins Tower there hangs a bell
    it can ring, turn night to day
    it can ring like fire if you lose your way
    
    Chorus
    
    God save the child who rings that bell
    it may have one good ring baby you can't tell
    One watch by night, one watch by day
    if you get confused listen to the music play
    
    JAM
    
    Some come to laugh their past away
    some come to make it just one more day
    Whichever way your pleaseure tends
    if you plant ice you're going to harvest wind
    
    chorus
    
    I'll tell you where the four winds sleep
    like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
    wildflower seed on the sand and wind
    may the four winds blow you home again
    
    several choruses
    
    Chords are
    
    ||: A    [G] | D	:|| all the way through,.. the [G] is like "optional"

    other than "SAND and stone" rather than "SANE and stone" it looks ok to
    me...

    ugh,. yeah thats definitely sand... not sane,..

    appreciate it if I could come up with them.
    
    

    
    Hi,
    
    
    In the Grateful_old.note entry 867 "Lyrics Data Base on Bitnet"
    I found a way to access the LYRICS server but....
    
    The only replies I received were:
    
    returned mail: user unknown		and
    undeliverable mail
    
    
    Is the server still reachable via ?
    
    DECPA::"lyrics@umass.bitnet"
    DECWRL::"lyrics@umass.bitnet"
    DECUAC::"lyrics@umass.bitnet"
    
    
    I don't use capitals between the quotes
    and in the mail message I only put "ALBUMS"
    
    What's up doc ?
    
    
    Kind regards
    
    Jan Spitael (Belgium)
    

    Hi Jan, I would say its nolonger there.....

    
    What a pitty !
    
    Are there on the net ... someware ... leftovers of the BITNET.
    I think of the Grateful Dead.
    
    The "collection of Grateful Dead" I was able to copy from
    SPICE::USER1....
    
    But I am still looking for the lyrics of >80. (GD)
    
    I know "In The Dark" was in there. Does somebody has it on an
    accessable place.
    
    Also looking for
    
    - The Association
    - The Byrds
    - Dylan
    - Pink Floyd (complete work)
    - Jefferson Airplane
    - King Crimson (in th court of the crimson king)
    - The Velvet underground
    - Zappa 
    
    .... and so many others
                                                      

Dylan?  DYLAN?  Did someone say Dylan?   ;-)

There is an excellent book of Dylan lyrics available here in the States: 
"Writings and Drawings by Bob Dylan".  Has justabout everything except
maybe the last few albums.

Not the same as having it online, but lyrics, none-the-less!

Josh

Yes, the lyrics server at Umass went away a while ago, it was fun, but 
didn't last long at all. Bitnet is still there, though.
    

There's an FTP site that has a bunch of lyrics stored on line ... say you
wanted the lyrics to the album "Meddle," you send the following message to
DECWRL::FTPMAIL

connect ftp.uwp.edu
chdir pub/music/lyrics/p/pink.floyd
get meddle
quit

If I wanted to see all the Pink Floyd lyrics available, I could substitute
the "get meddle" above with "dir" to get a directory listing of the 
"pink.floyd" directory.

The directory syntax is
pub/music/lyrics/(first letter of band name)/(band name)

-DC

Thanks for the pointer.

That seems like kind of round-about way, though.  There are easier ways...

Like direct anonymous login in via an internet server from an ultrix account..

Or using the ftp utility written for vms. I haven't used it, but I think 
its available through toolshed.

You folks should learn u*ix anyway; this is as good a way to start: 4 out 
of 5 vice presidents agree..  :-)

>>You folks should learn u*ix anyway; this is as good a way to start: 4 out

Yea, but those VP's are at Sun, HP, Novell and SCO ;-)

(I suppose some here might finally acknowledge U**X now, too)

    Hi,
    
    Until Friday 9-apr-93 (noon) all OK with the procedure given in .43.
    I received several replies that gave me what I asked for. But after
    that time I just received an acknowledge, that's all. And now even
    receive an ack ! Something up Doc ?
    
    Jan
    

Did the acknowledge msg you received say it couldn't connect to the
host, for some reason?  Sometimes the host is down (yes, even if not a
VAX! ;^).

Sometimes a lot of requests get into the queue and it takes a while to
receive a response, too.

- DC

    After +- 1 day 1 received the ack ! But I'm still waiting for a request
    that was posted on 9-apr-93 ! That's what I would call " a while".
    Is this "normal" ? (there were >200 requests ahead of me).
    
    Jan
    

Yep, the ack will usually come back right away.  That's just telling you
your request has been entered into the queue.

I have had to wait several days for the results, esp. when there are
over a hundred entries in the queue.  I've also gotten no response at
all, from time to time.

Other than that ... I can't give you much more info on what's going on.
You could try sending mail to the address mentioned in the acks you
receive (the one for problem reports etc.), though they might just
say "wait" or "tough luck try again."  ;^)

- DC

p.s.  Or learn UNIX.  ;^)

    thanks DC,
    
    you know, thats what the book "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenace
    is all about.
    
    Jan
    

The tool "vax ftp" I refered to before is called UCX, or "VMS/ULTRIX
Connection Version 1.3".  I couldn't get into toolshed to look for it, its a
product we sell, though. Also, there is something called  DEC TCP/IP 
Services for OpenVMS V2.0 which I found in vtx spd while searching for the 
first tool...

  DEC TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is a VMS layered software product that
  promotes interoperability and resource sharing between VMS systems,
  UNIX[R] systems, and other systems that support the TCP/IP and NFS[R] pro-
  tocol suites.

  The product provides capabilities for file access, remote terminal ac-
  cess, remote command execution, remote printing, mail, and applica-
  tion development.

    UCX, VMS/ULTRIX Connection, and DEC TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS are all
    the same product.  You'll need an internet address to use it - which
    you probably get from the same people who hand out DECnet addresses. 
    It will look something like 16.20.n.m  There is a gateway to the
    internet that may or may not permit FTP access to the node you're
    interested in - I'm not sure (I haven't tried, but might later...)
    
    tim
    (DEC TCP/IP Developer)
    

Ah! Elucidation!  Thanks, Tim. fwiw, I've had great luck using the ftp 
gateway ftp-gw.pa.dec.com (16.1.0.2)

    
    I'm searching the lyrics of "Dark Hollow" and "Rosa Lee McFall". 
    Can anybody help me to find them ? 
    
    Thanks in advance.

Lyrics only to Rain, please...

    
    Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain
    I don't mind
    
    Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine
    The weather's fine
    
    :-)
    
    

    When the rain comes,
    They run and hide their heads,
    They might as well be dead.
    When the rain comes.
    
    When the sun shines,
    They slip into the shade,
    And sip their lemonade.
    When the sun shines.
    
    I can show you that when it's rain or shine,
    It's just a state of mind.
    I can show you,
    I can show you.
    
    
    That's most of it, I think.
    
    Jamie

	
	I was going to make the same request!

	Thanks!!!! What a f'in excellent song that is!

    reminds me of a particular co-worker

another verse

	Can you hear me, that when it starts to rain
	Everything's just the same
	Can you hear me
	Can you hear me

    
    here's a request for a non-dead set of lyrics...  anyone have the words
    to "little wing"?????
    
    					da ve

    Well she's standing......
    
    
    

	I was jes talkin wit sum1 last nite who purchased an 800 page
	"encyclopedia" of Jimi. Dunno if it has lyrics, but it must have
	eveything else. I'll check.
	
	Jay

Little Wing, don't fly away
when the summer turns to fall
Don't you know some people say
winter is the best time of them all?

Oh, you meant Jimi ...

	Little Wing, by Jimi Hendrix

	Well, she's walking through the clouds,
	With a circus mind that's running wild,
	Butterflies and Zebra's,
	And Moonbeams and fairy tales.
	That's all she ever thinks about.
	Riding with the wind.

	When I'm sad, she comes to me, 
	With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
	It's alright, she says it's alright,
	Take anything you want from me,
	Anything.	[searing solo ;-)]
	Fly on little wing.
		

Re: Little Wing

	It's alright, she says it's alright,
	Take anything you want from me,
	Anything.	[searing solo ;-)]
	Fly on little wing.
		
Derrick and the Dominoes repeat this with a change the second time through:

	It's alright, she says it's alright
	To think anything you want to think
	Anything anything at all	
        [another searing solo ;-)]

Jim

Could someone tell me the many chords that compose "Wild Thing?"  I want to 
play along with Jimi.

- thanx
  DC

	Wow!

	Anyone have the lyrics to "The Days Between" yet?  

	Robert Hunter outdid himself on this one.....	

	I remember at Boston there was a group of people in the first 2 rows, 
	all huddled up together right in front of Jerry during this song.  
	It appeared that Jerry was singing right to them, they all watched 
	as if they were children in front of a story teller.  Made for a near 
	religeous experience from my perspective, can't imagine what those 
	folks were thinking.  ;-) 

	"The lightening of the sun
	 on bright unfocused Eyes" 


	"Valentines of flesh and blood
	 Soft as velveteen
	 Hoping love would not foresake
	 the days that lie between"	

	

    
    apparently the new, soft cover, version of Box of Rain includes The
    Days Between, Lazy River Road, and the other new ones.
    
    

	re - .74

	Interesting!

	I hadn't heard about that yet.....

	Please pardon my stupidity....but what does soft cover imply?

    
    paperback.
    
    

	:-)    ah, I see.


	I am looking forward to that, is it due to be out soon?  

    
    I think it's already out.
    

    
     I think Wild Thing is just G,C,D,C,G ....pretty easy
    
    Sean

OK, I've got it all written down ... let me read it back ...

G ... C ... D ... C ... G

I'm sweating profusely.  Three chords ... I can't do that!

    Danielle,
    
    I requested the lyrics to "Days Between" before and Phyllis recommended
    I look for this book called "Box of Rain".  I have yet to find it.
    
    Days Between is an incredible song.

    
    
    I've seen "box of rain" at headlines in Nashua.
    
    MJ

    Words to days between are in 32.97.
    
    

    I have a copy of the book, "Box of Rain".  What was the question? 
    
    

    
    Heyyyyy!!!! :-)
    
    Well what'd ya know!!!!
    
    Thanks!

Would like the full lyrics to "I Want To Tell You" (a "George" song, BTY :-).

Among the out-of-drums/space tunes I've ever heard...still blown away by
how great it sounded...

    I Want To Tell You: written by G.Harrison, from the album Revolver.
    
    I want to tell you
    My head is filled with things to say
    When you're here
    All those words, they seem to slip away
    
    When I get near you,
    The games begin to drag me down
    It's all right
    I'll make you maybe next time around
                                             
    But if I seem to act unkind
    It's only me, it's not my mind
    That is confusing things.
    
    I want to tell you
    I feel hung up but I don't know why,
    I don't mind
    I could wait forever, I've got time
    
    Sometimes I wish I knew you well,
    Then I could speak my mind and tell you
    Maybe you'd understand
    
    
    I want to tell you
    I feel hung up but I don't know why,
    I don't mind
    I could wait forever, I've got time, I've got time, I've got time

    Samba In the Rain
    ---------------------
    
    Ten and ten is thirty
    if you  tell me it is so
    Let's get down and dirty, baby
    Let's get sweet and low
    
    Any way you call the shot 
    That's how it's gonna be
    You can serve it cold or hot
    It's all okay by me
    
    Tie me with a ribbon bow
    Wrap me in cellophane
    Send me out to steal the show
    or Samba in the rain
    
    (chorus)
    Samba in the rain oh baby
    Samba in the rain
    Let's get down and dirty
    Don't bother to explain 
    Don't care if they call a cop
    and say we are insane
    we'll keep goin' till we drop
    Samba in the rain
    
    How many hours in a day
    They tell me twenty-four
    There could be a couple less
    I know there ain't no more
    
    We can do the dirty bop
    The Darktown Strutter's Ball
    Just as long as we don't stop
    We'll dance right up the wall
    
    We can do the bump and grind
    The Apache in Spain
    We can do the nevermind
    or Samba in the rain
    
    (chorus)
    Samba in the rain oh baby
    Samba in the rain
    Let's get down and dirty
    Don't bother to explain
    Don't care if they call a cop
    and say we are insane
    we'll keep goin' till we drop
    Samba in the rain
    
                         

    the apache in Spain???????????????

Replace Samba In The Rain with White Punks On Dope.

I'm looking for sheet music for "Bird Song"...
My wife has been doing some arrangments for her
flute ensemble, and thinks that this would be a
great song to arrange for a flute "choir".

I've seen books in the music stores that covers
a lot of the boyz material, but nothing that included
this song.  Can anyone help?

	Thanks!

      Hi,
    
        Well, since Jerry's passing I got to thinking a lot about the
        Dead lately.  My favorite song was always Eyes of the World.
    
        Would anyone know the lyrics to it or could there be a pointer
        to it?
    
        In perusing through this, I was reminded of Wharf Rat.  Man,
        I love that song!

    Eyes of the World by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter  1/76
    
    
    Right outside this lazy summer home,
    you ain't got time to call your soul a critic, no . . .
    Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home,
    wonderin' where the nut-thatch winters,
    wings a mile long just carried the bird away.
    
    Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
    the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own.
    Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings,
    the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own.
    
    There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away,
    there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay.
    The seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay,
    and night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day.
    
    Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
    the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own.
    Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings,
    the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own.
    
    Sometimes we live no particular way but our own,
    sometimes we visit your country and live in your homes,
    sometimes we ride on your horses,
    sometimes we walk alone,
    sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own.
    
    Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
    the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own.
    Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings,
    the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own.

Hey Jolli,

How bout sticking the words to Stella Blue in here!!

I just can seem to get that song out of my head - 

In the end there's just that song....
crying like the night
There's nothing you can hold for very long....

:(

Stella Blue

All the years combine, they melt into a dream,
A broken angel sings from a guitar.
In the end there's just a song comes cryin' up the night
Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years.
Stella blue. Stella blue.

When all the cards are down, there's nothing left to see,
There's just the pavement left and broken dreams.

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.

I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel, can't win for trying.
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time,
Gonna make them shine, shine

It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free,
There's nothing you can hold, for very long.
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind,
It seems like all this life was just a dream.
Stella blue. Stella blue.

      Thanks a million for those lyrics.  BEAUTIFUL lyrics!!  Man,
      can Robert Hunter write or what?
    
    						Tony

	Tony,
	
	You're welcome! _Wake of the Flood_ was my favorite album.
	
	Yes, Hunter could write 'em. And Jerry could play 'em.
	
	Jay 

      Jay,
    
        How did that one title go?  Mississippi Half Step Two Step
        Toodeloo???
    
        Best name for a song I ever heard in my life!!
    
        I think Wake was my favorite cover too.  The guy with the 
        grain and then showing everybody the cloud being a skeleton
        was a gas.
    
        So neat!
    
    						Tony

    Almost right.  It's Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodleoo.
    
    Just to try to invoke a little levity into a grim situation, I can't 
    help but remember taping the Foxboro concert in 1990 with a 
    bunch of rabid tapers (I believe TDalton was there with his
    clusterfuck of cables) and when a particular line in
    "Eyes" came up, some of the tapers were (quietly) chanting
    "Wake up to find out that you went to bed with a squirrel..."
    
    That was a fun day.  Unfortunately it was also the last time
    I saw Brent.  sigh....

    re - Foxboro
    
    That was a rippin show with many good vibes.
    
    The Eyes was stellar and so were the 2 encores, Last Time & 
    We Bid you Goodnight.

Franklin's Tower

In another times forgotten space
Your eyes looked from your mother's face
Wallflower seed on the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home.

Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew

I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you loose your way.

Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew

God save the child that rings that bell
It may have one good ring, baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused listen to the music play.

(instrumental)

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 the wind.

Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew

In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed on the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again.

Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
You'd better roll away the dew

Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
You'd better roll away the dew - roll away.

To Lay Me Down  by Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter and Bill Kreutzmann 10/74


To lay me down, once more, to lay me down
with my head in sparklin' clover
let the world go by, all lost in dreamin'
to lay me down, one last time, to lay me down

To be with you, once more, to be with you.
with our bodies close together
let the world go by, like clouds a'streamin'
to lay me down, one last time, to lay me down

to lay me down, to lay me down
to lay me down, one last time, to lay me down
to lie with you, once more, to lie with you
with our dreams entwined together
to wake beside you, my love still sleepin'
to tell sweet lies, one last time and say good night
to lay me down, to lay me down
to lay me down, one last time, to lay me down
to lay me down, one last time, to lay me down
to lay me down, to lay me down
to lay me down, to lay me down
to lay me down

    *CHORDS* , not lyrics....%^)

    Here's the chords to Bird Song  (btw: I picked this up from
    ftp.nevada.edu/pub/guitar/g/grateful_dead.  Lots o' stuff to be had!)
    
    Another side note: it's good to be back from school in Cinti!  I
    haven't noted in 6 months.

    Bird Song -- Grateful Dead  (Hunter, Garcia)
    
    
    Intro/Riff:  D7--C-D7--C-D7
    
    D7                                                    Riff
    All I heard was something like a bird within her sing,
    
    D7                                                  Riff
    All I know she sang a little while and then flew on,
    
    Bb   F      C                     G                    D7  Riff
    Tell me all that you know and I'll show you snow and rain.
    
    
    If you hear that same sweet song again will you know why?
    Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by.
    Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark, fly through the night.
    
    Bm        A    G     D   A    G     D   A         G            D
    Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore, la da da da.

    D   D7
    Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind, la da da
    da, da.
    
    
    Just a note, I believe this is the version on "Garcia," in D, early
    live
    versions were also in D but switched to E...
