Mean Ol' Wind Died Down

Lyrics: Luther Dickinson/North Mississippi Allstars
Music: Luther Dickinson/North Mississippi Allstars

Played by Luther Dickinson with Phil Lesh & Friends in April 2013.

I hear the wind blowing way on top of the hill
I hear the wind blowing way on top of the hill
Down in the valley, everything is still
I hear the wind blowing way on top of the hill

I climb to the top of the tallest tree
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
I climb to the top of the tallest tree
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)

I wanna feel the way it sounds
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down

Set me free, gravity bound
Set me free, gravity bound
Try to fly as high, I�m shackled to the ground
Set me free, gravity bound

Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)

Don�t bury me in this cursed ground
Don�t bury me in this cursed ground
When I die, let me fly, I�m nothing but a sound
Don�t bury me in this cursed ground

Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)

Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
Mean ol� wind died down (mean ol� wind died down)
