Wharf Rat [Live At Jfk Stadium, Philadelphia, Pa, July 7, 1989] - Grateful Dead
Old man down, way down down, down by the docks of the city.
Blind and dirty, asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee.
I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story.
My name is august west, and I love my pearly baker best more than my wine.
More than my wine - more than my maker, though hes no friend of mine.
Everyone said, Id come to no good, I knew I would pearly, believe them.
Half of my life, I spent doin time for some other *****ers crime,
The other half found me stumbling round drunk on burgundy wine.
But Ill get back on my feet again someday,
The good lord willin, if he says I may.
I know that the life I'm livins no good,
Ill get a new start, live the life I should.
Ill get up and fly away, Ill get up and fly away, fly away.
Pearlys been true, true to me, true to my dyin day he said,
I said to him, I said to him, I'm sure she's been.
I said to him, I'm sure she's been true to you.
Got up and wandered, wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around.
I've got a girl, named bonnie lee, I know that girls been true to me.
I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me.
