You Again (I Know Nothing Blues)

Lyrics: J D Souther
Music: Bob Weir, J D Souther

One of the improvised songs played by Bob Weir and J D Souther during the run of Bob Weir & Wolf Bros shows at the Guild Theatre, Menlo Park in April 2023. The setlist had the title written in as "I Know Nothing Blues" but a later Facebook posting said it was "tentatively titled 'You Again'".

[Bob Weir: spoken]
We're going from 1-2-3 go here
And give us a chance to get stuff going
But then if you like it, let us know
If you don't like it, let us know

So the idea here is that we're just going to go 1-2-3 go
And here it is

OK, what this is about

[Bob Weir sings]
Oh what are we doing here

[J D Souther sings]
What's your name
Where do you come from
And where are you going
I don't know

What's your name
Would you show me if I told you so
You tell me

What's your name
Where did you come from
Where were you born
They tell me so
Where you've been
I've been there too
I go back again, and again, and again

What's your name

What's your name
Where are you going
Where have you come from
Tell me how you been
I've been lonely
Tell me what I do
When I get back

Where are you going
Where have you come from
How have you been
Tell me everything
I can listen
By not seeing
Not seeing you again

[J D Souther and Bob Weir duet]
What's your name
Where are you going
Where have you come from
How you been
Tell me everything
That I've been missing
By not seeing
Seeing you again

[Other band members join]
What's your name
Where are you going
Where have you come from
And how you been
Tell me everything
That I've been missing
By not seeing
You again

[Bob Weir spoken] One more time
[all singing/playing]
Tell me what's your name
Where are you going
Where have you come from
How have you been
Tell me everything
That I've been missing
By not seeing
You again

[Bob Weir: spoken]
We haven't figured out an endgame for this yet
[J D Souther: spoken]
That just happened for the first and only time
[Bob Weir: spoken]
We'll try to have something done with that by tomorrow night
