Grateful Dead - Jack Straw Lyrics

Font:

  • We can share the women, we can share the wine.
  • We can share what we got of yours cause we done shared all of mine.
  • Keep on rollin, just a mile to go;
  • Keep on rollin my old buddy, youre movin much too slow.
  • I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence.
  • Took his rings, four bucks in change, aint that heaven sent?
  • Hurts my ears to listen, shannon, burns my eyes to see;
  • Cut down a man in cold blood, shannon, might as well been me.
  • We used to play for silver, now we play for life;
  • And ones for sport and ones for blood at the point of a knife.
  • And now the die is shaken, now the die must fall.
  • There aint a winner in the game, he dont go home with all.
  • Not with all.
  • Leavin texas, fourth day of july,
  • Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky.
  • Catch the detroit lightnin out of sante fe,
  • The great northern out of cheyenne, from sea to shining sea.
  • Gotta go to tulsa, first train we can ride.
  • Gotta settle one old score, one small point of pride.
  • There aint a place a man can hide, shannon will keep him from the sun
  • Aint a bed can give us rest now, you keep us on the run.
  • Jack straw from wichita cut his buddy down,
  • And dug for him a shallow grave and laid his body down.
  • Half a mile from tucson, by the morning light,
  • One man gone and another to go, my old buddy youre moving much too slow.
  • We can share the women, we can share the wine.
