Lyrics: Lightnin' Hopkins
Music: Lightnin' Hopkins
Played once by Bob Weir with Ratdog in 1998 with Maria Muldau on vocals. It's listed sometimes as "Automobile Blues" and sometimes
as "Chaufeur's Blues". I haven't found a Ratdog recording. This is the Lightnin' Hopkins "Automobile Blues":
I saw you riding round
You riding in your brand new automobile
Yes, I saw you riding round
You was riding round
In your brand new automobile
Yes, you was happy sitting there
With your handsome driver at the wheel
In your brand new automobile
Your face was tinted with powder
Your lips all full of rouge
Yes, your face was tinted with powder
And your face all full of rouge
Yes, but I knowed you was coming home
When you found out your driver
Didn't mean you no good
In your brand new automobile
Out of all you've done, baby
Darling, you know I love you still
Out of all you've done, baby
Darling, you know I love you still
Yes, I know you don't worry about no one driver
There's too many lane to drive your wheel
In your brand new automobile
