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 redHunter subsequently wrote the following two additional verses:
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
The sky is so green, clouds of canaryNotes
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
