Jerry Garcia
U.S. Blues
[Verse 1]
Red and white, ah, blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam, said how do you do? Woo
Give me five, I'm still alive
It ain't no luck, I learned to duck
Go on, check my pulse, it don't change
It stay seventy-two come shine or rain
I'll wave the flag, pop the bag
Rock the boat, and skin the goat

[Chorus]
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
I said summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am
I've been hiding out in a rock and roll band
Shake the hand that shook the hand
Of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan
I'll shine your shoes, I'll light your fuse
Can you use them old U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth
Run your life, steal your wife

[Chorus]
Wave that flag, come on, wave it wide and high
Yeah, summertime done come and, done come and gone, my, oh, my
Woo, get down
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Back to back, a top heavy chicken shack
Yeah, son of a gun, you better change your act
We're all confused, ah, what's to lose?
You can call this song the United States Blues

[Chorus]
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, done come and gone, my, oh, my
My, my, my, my, my

[Outro]
Woo-hoo, woo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Come and gone, come and gone
Well, well, it's come and gone, yeah, yeah
Woo, ho
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Baby, it's alright, it's alright
Baby, it's alright
