My Creole Belle

Lyrics: Mississippi John Hurt
Music: Mississippi John Hurt

Sung by Robert Hunter on 13 October 1978. Then by Bob Weir & Wolf Bros in November 2018, with John Oates and Buddy Miller sitting in.

My Creole Belle
I love her well
My darling baby
My Creole Belle

When the stars do shine
I'll make her mine (note 2)
My darling baby
My Creole Belle

And oh but I do (note 1)
I sort of never [stood]
But when you the baby
She was gone again

My Creole Belle
I love her well
My darling baby
My Creole Belle

Notes
(1) Hunter sang this verse, but I'm not sure where it comes from (and it's anyway indistinct)
(2) "Then she will be mine" in the Weir/Oates version
