Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted June 2, 2010 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 29 Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world But the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own Let the sun shine thru your day, Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted June 3, 2010 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 28 days and counting down Daddy made whiskey and he made it well Cost two dollars and it burned like hell I cut hickory just to fire the still Drink down a bottle and you're ready to kill Brown-eyed women and red grenadine The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down And it looks like the old man's getting on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted June 4, 2010 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Baseball is played with three teams on the field. Two teams of nine playesa and another team of umpires. The results are tabulated in the box score showing runs, hits and errors. But the errors of only two of the teams are counted on the scoresheet. Maybe Armando Galarraga* will have his name on the list of other pitchers that have pitched a perfect game ( only about twenty or so in all of major league baseball history) and there will be an asterist there explaing that the umpire, Jim Joyce, made an error. "Take me out to the ball game, Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don't care if we never get back" For its 27 days until Grateful Fest. Peace, and Love, for our National Sport, Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted June 5, 2010 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 "Julie catch a rabbit by his hair Come back step, like to walk on air Get back home where you belong And don't you run off no more" A few months ago I was lying on the surgery table feeling good, all filled up with what the anaesthesiologist said they call the "still conscious but just don't care drug." I was chatting with the eye surgeon who was about to replace a cornea. I knew that he had studied in San Francisco so I mentioned that I had been there a couple weeks earlier to see DSO for three nights at the Fillmore. He perked up and said to the nurses, "We can get the Grateful Dead channel on the radio, can't we" They rushed off and a moment latter Jerry was singing "Row Jimmy" as background music in the operating room. "Here's a half a dollar if you dare Double twist when you hit the air Look at Julie down below The levee doing the dopaso. And I say row, Jimmy, row Gonna get there, I don't know Seems a common way to go Get down and row, row, row, row, row" See you'll at the Ledges in 26 days.

Ledges early for the Thursday soundcheck all I will say is it we will be doing something DSO has never done before! " Just 24 more days ! "Train I ride, fifteen coaches long Train I ride, fifteen coaches long Woman I love, Lord she's on that train and gone Train, train, running down the track Train, train, running down the track Took my baby, Lord you know it ain't coming back" Peace, Love and Let the Tomatoes Grow, Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted June 8, 2010 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Mama said, "Don't go near the Ledges" "Don't be hanging round that Herdy crew" Come the night time I'd always be there Dancing in the sand till the sweet Delta dawn. Take me back to another festival To a time so long ago With the sweet sounds of Dark Star Orchestra Lakeside beach was white as snow DSO was the group we danced to Lived and played by the music's sound Looking back I still remember I was proud to be their friend Born a band in the town of Chicago Traded for a bass guitar Lord, they never sang in anger Though their load was hard to bear Peace, Love, and wait another 23 Days Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted June 11, 2010 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 For good reasons, i'll give you 20. L.S.P., Thanks for pick'n up the count in my absence. Twenty to life or another shot. Twenty parts reason, twenty parts rhyme Twenty degrees of solitude, twenty degrees in all. Seems that the DA knew my dad, or I might have got twenty years With twenty pounds of headlines stapled to his chest . If it ain't twenty others, hell, it might as well be me. Twenty in the left hand, twenty in the right. Back in Sioux City twenty years ago With a twenty-carat diamond that was carved into a rose. Why don't you lend me twenty for a drink instead Peace, Love and another twenty days, Doc . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted June 11, 2010 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around Set out running but I take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep Tonight I ran into the devil babe, he loaned me twenty bills I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills Set out running but I take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep Tonight I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air Set out running but I take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep Tonight Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight Second one is prison baby, sheriff's on my trail (note c) And if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail Got a wife in Chino babe, and one in Cherokee First one says she's got my child but it don't look like me Set out running but I take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep Tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maningreen Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal dull affairs Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years And though you've tried you just can't hide, your eyes are edged with tears You better stop, look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown When you were a child, you were treated kind but you were never brought up right You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax And your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax You better stop, look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane Well nothing I do don't seem to work, it only seems to make matters worse Oh please You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed your mind And after that you turned your back on treating people kind On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind But after while I realized you were disarranging mine You better stop, look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
