Wharf Rat (Remastered LP Version) - Grateful Dead
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 hes 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 fuckers crime
The other half found me stumbling
Round drunk on burgundy wine
But I'll get back on my
Feet again someday
The good lord willin
If he says I may
I know that the life
I'm livins 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
Pearlys been true true to me
True to my dyin day he said
I said to him I said to him
I'm sure shes been
I said to him
I'm sure shes been true to you
Got up and wandered
Wandered downtown
Nowhere to go but just hang around
I've got a girl named bonnie lee
I know that girls been true to me
I know shes been
I'm sure she's been true to me
