Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Robert Hunter
Played by Robert Hunter on 4 March 1983. At the end he says "Well that's the first time I've played that in public." There is no record of him playing it again. Thanks to D J Johnson for alerting me to it. I assume it's one Hunter wrote - I can't find any other references.
Sure as one and one is two and double that is four
You say you're gone away and won't be back no more
You got a friend in Memphis, got a friend in Rome
Any Morning Glory, you don't make no friends at home
Chorus
Morning Glory
That's another story
Tell it to me sometime, 'cause I really wanna know
What's behind that ten-thousand-mile stare
Morning Glory, is there anyone there?
Three and three is half-a-dozen times you say you go
Half the time I believe you and the other half I don't
You got a friend in Texas, got a friend in France
It's a pity, Morning Glory, you don't give your friends no chance
[chorus]
If I travel to the moon or halfway through the stars
I'd find a friend of yours in any corner bar
You got a friend named Mama who's always big and fat
You got a friend named John, always wears a John B Stetson hat
Morning Glory
Don't you care about me
So many things still gotta see
You'll be sorry, at least I think you may
Morning Glory, if you're running away
[chorus]
Is there anyone there?
Is there anyone there?
