Poison Love

Lyrics: Mrs Elmer Laird
Music: Mrs Elmer Laird

Rehearsed by Jerry with the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band in 1987, but seemingly never played live.

For your poison love has stained the life blood
In my heart and soul dear
And I know my life will never be the same

All my pleadings have all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And I know that you are guilty of the same

Into each life a love is born for one
And one alone dear
The love I chose was surely not for me

For your poison love has stained the life blood
In my heart and soul dear
And I know our love was never meant to be

For your poison love has stained the life blood
In my heart and soul dear
And I know my life will never be the same

All my pleadings have all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And I know that you are guilty of the same

Still my heart cries out for you
And you alone my darling
It makes me never ever let you go

But my pleadings has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And my better judgement tells me to say no

For your poison love has stained the life blood
In my heart and soul dear
And I know my life will never be the same

All my pleadings have all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And I know that you are guilty of the same
