Lyrics: Bob Dylan
Music: Bob Dylan
Played by the Grateful Dead on at least one occasion in 1966,
and then revived briefly in 1985. When Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh appeared on Tom Donahue's show on KMPX-FM in 1967,
Jerry Garcia said they played it but implied that Bob Weir sang it then.
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look backNotes
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back
She can take the dark out of the night time
And paint the daytime black
You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees (note 1)
You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees
But you will wind up peeking through a key hole
Down upon your knees (note 2)
She wears an Egyptian ring, that sparkles before she speaks (note 3)
She wears an Egyptian ring, that sparkles before she speaks
She's a hypnotist collector
You are a walking antique
She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall
She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall
She's nobody's child
The law can't touch her at all
Bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes
Bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes
For Halloween buy her a trumpet
And for Christmas, get her a drum (note 4)
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back
She can take the dark out of the night time
And paint the daytime black
She can take the dark out of the night time
And paint the daytime black
