Jerry Garcia
U.S. Blues (Live at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke University, Durham, NC, 4/12/78)
[Verse 1]
Red and white, blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I'm still alive
It ain't no luck, I learned to duck
[Verse 2]
Check my pulse, it don't change
Stay 72, come shine or rain
Wave the flag, pop the bag
Rock the boat, skin the goat
[Chorus]
Wave that flag, yeah, wave it wide and high
Summertime done come and gone, my oh my
[Verse 3]
Uncle Sam, that's who I am
Been hiding out, in a rock and roll band
Shake the hand that shook the hand
Of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan
[Verse 4]
Shine your shoes, light the fuse
Well, can you use thеm old U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wеalth
You know I'll run your life, I'm gonna steal your wife
[Chorus]
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done come and gone, my oh my
My oh my oh my
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Back-to-back, chicken shack
Son of a gun, better change your act
We're all confused, what's to lose
You can call this song the United States Blues
[Chorus]
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done come and gone, my oh my
[Outro]
Summertime done come and gone, my oh my
Well, my my my my, my oh my my my, my my my my my my
Summertime done come and gone, my oh my
Thank you
Thank you and good night
