Lyrics: Earl King, John Vincent
Music: Earl King, John Vincent
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 into Shake A Hand
There's been some lonely, lonely nightsThe original lyrics were:
Oh baby, yeah, since you've been gone
Lay my head on my pillow
I cried, dear, all night long
The things you used to say to me
I thought that we would never part
Don't you know I'd be happy
I wouldn't be so all alone
There's been some lonely, lonely nights
Oh baby, yeah, since you've been gone
I lay my head on my pillow
Well yes, I cried, dear, all night long
The things you used to say to me
I thought that we would never part
Don't you know, don't you know I'd be happy
I wouldn't be so all alone
There's been some lonely, lonely nights
Baby, yeah, since you've been gone
Lay my head on my pillow
How I cried all night long
The things you used to say to me
I thought that we would never part
Yes you know I love you darling
Why did you break my heart
If you would only come back home
And let me take you in my arms
Then you know I would be happy
I wouldn't be so all alone
It's been dark since you've been gone
Baby, please bring back the lights
Baby, please come back home
And free me from these lonely nights
