In Despair

Lyrics: Juanita Pennington, Bill Monroe
Music: Juanita Pennington, Bill Monroe

Payed by Jerry Garcia with the Log Cabin Boys in a one-off performance in 1986. It was sung as a medley with Fly Around, My Pretty Little Miss and Going Back To Harlan.

You made me love you, you made me want you
And now I need you all the time
My heart is sad and I’m so lonely
Each night and day you’re on my mind

You broke me heart my little darling
When I called for you, you had another there
But a broken heart will keep on crying
I know you know, I’m in despair

You made me forget of all the others
You made me forget of all the past
And I thought sweetheart you really loved me
My friends told me it would never last

You broke me heart my little darling
When I called for you, you had another there
But a broken heart will keep on crying
I know you know, I’m in despair
