Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

According to DeadBase, this was played at a show on 19 April 1970, billed as "Mickey And The Hartbeats" and "Bobby Ace And The Cards From The Bottom Of The Deck." No tapes circulate and its unclear what song this was. A most implausible title!

Slow it down [where it too far]
Gotta slow it down [where it should be]
Slow everything down [out in the country]
Gotta slow it down [keep it slow, cat]

[Can you give it pony truckin' for a beer, gal]
[Go out and find it wrapped in sin]
[If you don't mind one brand, six will do]
Seven's a lucky number [...]
Whoooo
[The price is up] where I belong
Singing them old country songs
Get everybody singing country songs
Get everybody back where we belong
Get everybody back where we belong
Get everybody singing songs
Hey
Said fee fi fip yi yo
(fee fi fip yi yo)
Fee fi hoo doo doo doo

Come listen good people wherever you are
And hear a sad story you've been waiting for
About the flood of '57 as it happened to me
In Kentucky, old Virginia and East Tennessee

How the rains came down, and we often had seen
To swim a broad river or some little stream
But this was different and we soon realised
That the floods were raging and we fought for our lives

Men were afraid as never before
As the high muddy water came in through their door
Some were left homeless, their life savings gone
But their lives had been spared and the cold rains came on

Little babies were crying and others were sad
For in all our lives we'd seen nothing so bad
But the brave and the strong were there by the score
To help the sick and needy to safety on the shore
