Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo (Live October 1989 - April 1990) - Grateful Dead

On the day when I was born daddy sat down and cried I had the mark just as plain as day, it could not be denied They say that Cain caught Abel rollin' loaded dice Ace of spades behind his ear and him not thinkin' twice Half-step, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old southern skies I'm on my way, on my way If all you've got to live for is what you left behind Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine Lost my boots in transit, baby, pile of smokin' leather An ill retread to my feet and prayed for better weather Half-step, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old southern skies I'm on my way, on my way They say that when your ship comes in the first man takes the sails Second takes the afterdeck, the third, the planks and rails What's the point of callin' shots, this cue ain't straight in line Cue ball's made of styrofoam and no one's got the time Half-step, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old southern skies I'm on my way, on my way On my way Across the Rio Grandeeo, across the lazy river Across the Rio Grandeeo, across the lazy river Across the Rio Grandeeo, across the lazy river Across the Rio Grandeeo, across the lazy river Across the Rio Grandeeo, across the lazy river

我勸妳早點歸去 妳說妳不想歸去 只叫我抱著妳 悠悠海風輕輕吹 冷卻了野火堆 我看見傷心的妳 妳叫我怎捨得去 哭態也絕美 如何止哭 衹得輕吻妳髮邊 讓風繼續吹 不忍遠離 心裡極渴望 希望留下伴著妳 風繼續吹 不忍遠離 心裡亦有淚 不願流淚望著妳 過去多少 快樂記憶 何妨與妳 一起去追 要將憂鬱苦痛洗去 柔情蜜意我願記取 要強忍 離情淚 未許它向下垂 愁如鎖 眉頭緊 別離淚始終要下垂 我已令妳快樂 妳也令我痴痴醉 妳已在我心 不必再問記著誰 留住眼內每滴淚 為何仍斷續流默默垂 我勸妳早點歸去 妳說妳不想歸去 只叫我抱著妳 悠悠海風輕輕吹 冷卻了野火堆 我看見傷心的妳 妳叫我怎捨得去 哭態也絕美 如何止哭 只得輕吻妳髮邊 讓風繼續吹 不忍遠離 心裡極渴望 希望留下伴著妳 風繼續吹 不忍遠離 心裡亦有淚 不願流淚望著妳 過去多少 快樂記憶 何妨與妳 一起去追 要將憂鬱苦痛洗去 柔情蜜意我願記取 要強忍 離情淚 未許它向下垂 愁如鎖 眉頭緊 別離淚始終要下垂 我已令妳快樂 妳也令我痴痴醉 妳已在我心 不必再問記著誰 留住眼內每滴淚 為何仍斷續流默默垂 為何仍斷續流默默垂 為何仍斷續流 默默 垂

She came without a farthing A babe without a name So much ado about nothing Is what she'd try to say So much ado, my lover So many games we played Through every fleeted Summer Through every precious day All dead, all dead All the dreams we had And I wonder why I still live on All dead, all dead And alone, I'm spared My sweeter half instead All dead and gone All dead All dead, all dead At the rainbow's end And still, I hear her own sweet song All dead, all dead Take me back again You know my little friend's All dead and gone Her ways are always with me I wander all the while But, please, you must forgive me I am old but still a child All dead, all dead But I should not grieve In time it comes to everyone All dead, all dead But in hope, I breathe Of course, I don't believe You're dead and gone All dead and gone
