A fragment played by Jerry Garcia with Doug Sahm, Leon Russell, Phil Lesh and Mary Egan at the Armadillo World Headquarters
on 23 November 1972. It segues out of Those Lonely, Lonely Nights
You just leave it to meThe original lyrics were:
Don't ever be ashamed
I'll take care of you
Well, I'll take care of everything
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Well, everybody, shake a hand
Come on baby, shake a hand
Oh, shake a hand if you can
Just leave it to me
Don't ever be ashamed
Just give me a chance
I'll take care of everything
Your troubles I'll share
Let me know and I'll be there
I'll take care of you
Any place and anywhere
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
Be truthful to me
I'll be truthful to you
I'm in love with you so
Till I don't know what to do
So, let's call it a day
I said all I have to say
Except don't forget to pray
And shake a hand every day
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
