Palm Sunday

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia

The Jerry Garcia recording on "Cats Under The Stars" includes only the following verse:

The river so white, the mountain so red
and with the sunshine over my head
The honky-tonks are all closed and hushed
It looks like Palm Sunday again (note 1)
It looks like Palm Sunday again
It looks like Palm Sunday again
Hunter subsequently wrote the following two additional verses:
The sky is so green, clouds of canary
Blood moon rise like a fat ripe cherry
Sunset quiet as a benediction
One true love, the rest is fiction

If I stay longer, trouble will find me
An epitaph and a sheet to wind me
A passable day for the least of men
it must be Palm Sunday again
Notes
(1) Hunter has "It must be Palm Sunday again" in the lyrics in "Box Of Rain" - but this is what Garcia sang.
