Rosemary<br />
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia<br />
Boots were <strong>of</strong> leather<br />
A breath <strong>of</strong> cologne<br />
Her mirror was a window<br />
She sat quite alone<br />
All around her<br />
the garden grew<br />
scarlet and purple<br />
and crimson and blue<br />
She came and she went<br />
and at last went away<br />
<strong>The</strong> garden was sealed<br />
when the flowers decayed<br />
On the wall <strong>of</strong> the garden<br />
a legend did say:<br />
No one may come here<br />
since no one may stay<br />
By Nancy Byrd Turner<br />
Death is a Door<br />
Death is only an old door<br />
Set in a garden wall;<br />
On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk<br />
When the thrushes call.<br />
Along the lintel are green leaves,<br />
Beyond the light lies still;<br />
Very willing and weary feet<br />
Go over that still<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is nothing to trouble any heart;<br />
Nothing to hurt at all.<br />
Death is only a quiet door<br />
In an old wall.<br />
St. Stephen<br />
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia<br />
Saint Stephen with a rose<br />
In and out <strong>of</strong> the garden he goes<br />
Country garland in the wind and the rain<br />
Wherever he goes the people all complain<br />
Stephen prosper in his time<br />
Well he may and he may decline<br />
Did it matter? does it now?<br />
Stephen would answer if he only knew how<br />
Wishing well with a golden bell<br />
Bucket hanging clear to hell<br />
Hell halfway twixt now and then<br />
Stephen fill it up and lower down<br />
And lower down again<br />
Lady finger dipped in moonlight<br />
Writing `what for?' across the morning sky<br />
Sunlight splatters dawn with answers<br />
Darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye<br />
351<br />
Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow,<br />
What a lot <strong>of</strong> fleeting matters you have spurned<br />
Several seasons with their treasons<br />
Wrap the babe in scarlet covers call it your own<br />
Did he doubt or did he try?<br />
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye<br />
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills<br />
One man gathers what another man spills<br />
Saint Stephen will remain<br />
All he's lost he shall regain<br />
Seashore washed by the suds and the foam<br />
Been here so long he's got to calling it home<br />
Fortune comes a crawlin, Calliope woman<br />
Spinning that curious sense <strong>of</strong> your own<br />
Can you answer? Yes I can,<br />
but what would be the answer to the answer man?<br />
High green chilly winds and windy vines in loops around the<br />
twining shafts <strong>of</strong> lavender, they're crawling to the sun<br />
Underfoot the ground is patched with climbing arms <strong>of</strong> ivy<br />
wrapped around the manzanita, stark and shiny in the<br />
breeze<br />
Wonder who will water all the children <strong>of</strong> the garden when they<br />
sigh about the barren lack <strong>of</strong> rain and droop so hungry<br />
'neath the sky...<br />
William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch no<br />
furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come<br />
before<br />
Uncle John’s Band<br />
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia<br />
Well, the first days are the hardest days,<br />
don't you worry anymore<br />
When life looks like Easy Street<br />
there is danger at your door<br />
Think this through with me<br />
Let me know your mind<br />
Wo-oah, what I want to know<br />
is are you kind?<br />
It's a Buck Dancer's Choice, my friend,<br />
better take my advice<br />
You know all the rules by now<br />
and the fire from the ice<br />
Will you come with me?<br />
Won't you come with me?<br />
Wo-oah, what I want to know,<br />
will you come with me?<br />
Goddamn, well I declare<br />
Have you seen the like?<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir walls are built <strong>of</strong> cannonballs,<br />
their motto is Don't Tread on Me<br />
Come hear Uncle John's Band<br />
by the riverside<br />
Got some things to talk about<br />
here beside the rising tide<br />
It's the same story the crow told me<br />
It's the only one he know –<br />
like the morning sun you come<br />
and like the wind you go<br />
Ain't no time to hate,
