A Deep Dark Woods song played by Brian Lesh with Phil Lesh & Friends in 2012.
It's a long way to Georgia
A long way to South California
It's hard to get to heaven
On that wicked path of sin
It's hard-hearted women
Who seem to get me every time
The way I'm treated, mama
They must be cheating on the line
I got my walking cane ready
I got my watch and chain
A long time ago
You left me in the rain
Take my money off the table
Buy you a brand new dress
Something kind of tells me
I'm about to lose the rest
It's funny how the times change
I thought I'd have you till I die
There's gonna be a fight tonight
I can tell by the look in your eye
I got my walking cane ready
I got my watch and chain
A long time ago
You left me in the rain
With not a penny in my pocket
I moved to the ocean blue
Left that dreadful city
Got rid of you
Someone keeps trying
To push me from the track
Lord, won't you help me keep
These women off my back
I feel like a two-time loser
They seem to leave me every time
Lord, won't you help me
Release these chains of mine
I got my walking cane ready
I got my watch and chain
A long time ago
You left me in the rain
I feel like a two-time loser
They seem to leave me every time
Lord, won't you help me
Release these chains of mine
I got my walking cane ready
I got my watch and chain
A long time ago
You left me in the rain
