grateful dead - wharf rat lyrics

Loading...

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, id come to no good, i knew i would pearly, believe them.
half of my life, i spent doin time for some other f-ckers crime,
the other half found me stumbling round drunk on burgundy wine.

but ill get back on my feet again someday,
the good lord willin, if he says i may.
i know that the life im livins no good,
ill get a new start, live the life i should.
ill get up and fly away, ill 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, im sure shes been.
i said to him, im sure shes been true to you.

got up and wandered, wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around.
ive got a girl, named bonnie lee, i know that girls been true to me.
i know shes been, im sure shes been true to me.
