Is he a relative of "Panama Red"?

Lyrics: Peter Rowan

Music: Peter Rowan

Played by Jerry Garcia with Peter Rowan in Old And In The Way in 1973. Also recorded and played by the New Riders of the Purple Sage (after Jerry had stopped playing with them).

Panama Red, Panama Red

He'll steal your woman, then he'll rob your head

Panama Red, Panama Red

On his white horse, Mescalito

He come breezin' through town

I'll bet your woman's up in bed with

Panama Red

The judge don't know when Red's in town

He keeps well hidden underground

But everybody's acting lazy

Falling out and hangin' 'round

My woman said, "Hey Pedro

you're actin' crazy like a clown"

Nobody feels like working

Panama Red is back in town

[chorus]

Everybody's looking out for him

'Cause they know Red's satisfies

Little girls love to listen to him

Sing and tell sweet lies

But when things get too confusing, honey

You're better off in bed

And I'll be searching all the joints in town for

Panama Red

[chorus] :afro:
