Music: Garcia, Lesh, Weir, Kreutzmann, K Godchaux
An instrumental nearly always forming the transition between
Help On The Way and
Franklin's Tower.
It grew out of a jam that featured in 1974 performances of "Eyes Of The World"
(thanks to Mike Scheier for pointing this out).
The title may have come from a fragment of lyric that Hunter wrote for
"Help On The Way" that was never used:
Beautiful lie
You can pray
You can pay
Till you're buried alive
Blackmailer blues
Everyone in the room
Owns a part of the noose
Slipknot gig
Slipknot gig
Slipknot gig
Did someone say
Help on the way
Well, I know
Yeah, I do
That there's help on the way
