Lyrics: Eric Krasno, Terrapin Family Band
Music: Eric Krasno, Terrapin Family Band
Sung by Ross James (?) with Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band in June 2017.
In a Reddit thread in 2018 Grahame Lesh said "We definitely want to write and play more originals with the Family Band. We’ve played I
think 6 or 7 originals in the past year. Some of them, like The River Song & What She Said, we wrote as a band together with Eric
Krasno."
What she said
What she said
She never should have done it
Should have kept it in her head
But when it came out, she left me for dead
I heard it here
I heard it there
I heard the words come flying everywhere
But she never tried to tell me
You know that's why I'm there
But when it came out, she left me for dead
But I never saw it coming
How could I be so blind
Just I never [?] mine
But she never tried to tell me
Came out ahead
Any time I look at her, who knows
She left me dead
I heard it here
I heard it there
I heard those words flying everywhere
And I wish somebody'd told me
Those were lies that she was fed
When it came out, she left me for dead
What she said
What she said
She never should have done it
Should have kept it in her head
But when it came out, she left me for dead
Well I never saw it coming
You know it took me by surprise
How was I the last one to know
She was telling lies
While she looked me in the eyes
That's when I realised
That even with her, I'm all alone
What she said
What she said
She never should have done it
Should have kept it in her head
Thinking of somebody else while laying in my bed
I wanted her to love me
But she broke my heart instead
Instead, she left me for dead
