Jerry Garcia
Black Peter (Live at Knickerbocker Arena, March 1990)
[Verse 1]
All of my friends come to see me last night
I was laying in my bed and dying
Annie Beauneau from Saint Angel
Say "The weather down here so fine"
[Verse 2]
Just then the wind
Came squalling through the door
But who can
The weather command?
Just want to have
A little peace to die
And a friend or two
I love at hand
[Verse 3]
Fever rolled up to a hundred-and-five
Roll on up
Gonna roll back down
One more day
I find myself alive
Tomorrow
Maybe go
Beneath the ground
[Bridge]
See here how everything
Lead up to this day
And it's just like
Any other day
That’s ever been
Sun going up and then
The sun it going down
Shine through my window and
My friends they come around
Come around
Come around
[Outro]
The people might know
But the people don't care
That a man could be
As poor as me
"Take a look at poor Peter
He's lying in pain
Now let’s go
Run and see"
Run and see
Oh, run and see
Run, run, run, run, run and see
