    "Brown-Eyed Women"

    Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia

    Gone are the days when the ox fall down

    he'd take up the yoke and plow the fields around

    Gone are the days when the ladies said "please,

    gently Jack Jones won't you come to me?"

    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

    In 1920 when he stepped to the bar

    he drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar

    In 1930 when the Wall caved in

    he paid his way selling red eye gin

    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

    Delilah Jones was the mother of twins

    two times over and the rest was sins

    Raised eight boys, only I turned bad

    Didn't get the lickings that the other ones had

    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

    Tumble down shack in Bigfoot County

    Snowed so hard that the roof caved in

    Delilah Jones went to meet her God

    and the old man never was the same again

    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

    Daddy made whiskey and he made it well

    Cost two dollars and it burned like hell

    I cut hick'ry to fire the still

    Drink down a bottle and you're ready to kill

    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

  12. Grateful Dead Thread

    I'm new here so cut me some slack if I'm reposting or posting something of no interest, but I'm shocked, almost appalled there isn't a Grateful Dead thread yet. I've done a couple searches and yielded no results.

    So let's hear it Dead Heads! What's your favorite albums (live or studio)? Any good stories from any live shows? Good memories, or lack there of? :)

    I'm more of an early Grateful Dead fan as opposed to their later stuff. Favorite studio albums of mine include American Beauty, and Workingman's Dead, but for live albums I'd have to go with Live Dead, Dead Set, Europe '72, Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses) (some studio and some live), History of the Grateful Dead Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice), One From the Vault, and I'll throw Reckoning in there too.

    I never got into the Dick's Picks, and quite frankly wouldn't know where to begin.

    I unfortunately never got to see them live, but I've heard a couple cover/tribute bands, and they were really true to the Dead.

    I liked the guy (the first week) that said he's slept behind a dumpster before, and works as a gas station attendant. He had a great voice, but it seems all too well scripted for me - like the perfect story: Gas station employee, and bum one day, and America's next Idol the next? C'mon. Nevertheless, the dude had a good voice.

  20. Acid Albums

    Maybe DSOTM, but I'm not sure I'd categorize The Wall as such.

    The mid-sixties was the prime ground for experimenting with Lysergic acid diethylamide.

    1965-1968

    This is the period I'd say has the distinct title

    the "acid era". While, of course, other times to a lesser extent have albums and songs "designed" to be trippy-tunes, I'd say 95% of them fall within this frame of time

    To each his own good sir. I for one tripped ballz listening to The Wall and Dark Side.
