Grateful Dead - Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO (7/8/78)

Wharf Rat - Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO 7/8/78

Old man down
Way down, down, down by the docks of the city
Blind and dirty
Asked me 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 said
I'd come to no good, I knew I would Pearly, believe them
Half of my life
I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime
The other half found me stumbling around drunk on Burgundy wine

But I'll get back on my feet someday
The good Lord willin', if He says I may
I know that the life I'm livin's no good
I'll get a new start, live 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 dyin' day he said
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"

I got up and wandered
Wandered downtown, nowhere to go but to just hang around
I've got a 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
