Jerry Garcia
White Boy (Transcaucasian Airmachine Blues)
Where will you go? What will you do?
What will you see when your night is through?
What can you do? Where will you go?
When the people of this planet send you away from here
My bo...

Where do you come from white boy? What is your land?
Everybody else knows where they come from
You don't know your place, you never did, you never can
And you can't find a home in this land

Blacks and Reds and Apaches and Jews
All know where they come from
But you don't seem to know
Baby, do you understand?

You appeared in the Caucasus Mountains, the southern Russia of now
And you spread your peculiar form of death from Mexico to Moscow
You surprised the Europeans, the Egyptian too
All of a sudden you appeared on their land

You made mountains for the Incas
Built pyramids for the Pharaoh man
And you grew and you lived by their hands

Viking Roman fair hair Alexander Emperor slave
Do you come from the earth? Do you come from the sky?
Nobody seems to know, you build and you burn, create and destroy
You rule me now, fair-skin man with an unfair hand
Where did you come from? Where were you born?
Where were you living when the earth was formed?
What can you do? Where will you go?
When the people of this planet send you away from here
My bo...
