Lyrics: Peter Monk
Music: [none]
This was one of the three lyrics Peter Monk sent Jerry Garcia in around 1977. Thanks to Ed McCauley for passing a copy on to me.
The lyrics were sent under a covering letter:
JerryThere is no evidence Jerry Garcia ever did set them to music. The lyrics were marked "for Paula McCoy"
No way of knowing if you ever receive these
(Put my faith in God and the Grateful Dead)
Here are 3 sets of lyrics about some faces who stepped from the crowd "cabin's" about Jonathan Riester
Perhaps you can find a melody to immortalize one of these ghostly folks!
Om mani padme hum
Peter
Congratulations on Terrapin Station!
couldn't shed a tear today
thinking of the kyrie
eleison chanted for you
lady of luxury
woman of wanting
hand me down my hand me downs
roll away the stone
fallen lady ... broken voice
gone around again
hand me down my hand me downs
roll away the stone
you've paid up and checked outa here
with nothin' left to say
remembering' the robes you wore
icy nun inside a whore
m' lady ... thinkin' of you
lady of luxury woman of wanting
hand me down my hand me downs
roll away the stone
fallen lady ... broken voice
gone around again
hand me down my hand me downs
roll away the stone
you've paid up and checked outa here
with nothin' left to say
