Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted March 30, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Maybe too early to start a count down but why not… It’s now fifty eight days until the Jubliee. This is the closest I can find to 58. Played live by the Grateful Dead in their very early days in 1966 “Went down to the southern county Drive across the border lineRope fifty five girls You know I kiss them all at the same time I take twenty five or thirty I'd put them on a freight That's a million dollar reward for me In each and every state Jesse James and Frank James Billy Kid, all the rest Supposed to be some bad cats Out in the West But when they dug me And my gangster ways They hung up their guns And made it to the grave I jump on my white horse, Cadillac I ride across the border line I rope sixty five girls I kiss them all the same time I take twenty five or thirty I'd put them all on a freight A million dollar reward for me Each and every state The Sheriff says, is you Guitar Watson? In a very deep voice I say, yes Sir, brother Sheriff, and that's your wife on the back of my horse. “ Now, can you guess who wrote this old song ?

The song was originally performed by the Carter Family, but it seems most likely that the Dead learnt it from the New Lost City Ramblers' version.” Reference: Grateful Dead Lyric & Song Finder only 19 more days until the Jubliee !!!!
