Tore Down

Lyrics: Sonny Thompson
Music: Sonny Thompson

Played by Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, David Crosby and John Cippolina at a studio session in Novato on August 21, 1971. John Cippolina (I think) was on lead vocals, but only sang the following extract of the full song.

I'm tore down, almost level with the ground
I'm tore down, almost level with the ground
I feel like this when my baby can't be found

I went to the river, to jump in
My baby she was standing there, said I will tell you when

I'm tore down, almost level with the ground
I feel like this when my baby can't be found

I'm tore down, almost level with the ground
I'm tore down, almost level with the ground
I feel like this when my baby can't be found
Other versions have additional verses:
I love you babe with all my heart and soul
Love like mine will never grow old
Love you in the morning and in the evening too
Every time you leave me I get mad with you

I love you baby with all my might
Love like mine is out of sight
I'll lie for you if you want me to
I really don't believe that your love is true
