letra de wharf rat (live at rfk stadium, washington, dc, 6/10/73) - the grateful dead
[verse 1]
old man down
way down down, down by the docks of the city
blind and dirty
asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee
i got no dime but i got some time to hear his story
[verse 2]
my name is august west, and i love my pearly baker best
more than my wine
everyone said
i’d come to no good, i knew i would, pearly, believe them
half of my life
i spent doing time for some other f-cker’s crime
the other half found me stumbling around drunk on burgundy wine
[bridge]
but i’ll get back on my feet someday
the good lord willing, if he says i may
i know that thе life i’m living’s no good
i’ll get a new start, livе the life i should
[refrain]
i’ll get up and fly away
i’ll get up and fly away, fly away
[verse 3]
“pearly’s been true
true to me, true to my dying day,” he said
i said to him
i said to him, “i’m sure she’s been”
i said to him, “i’m sure she’s been true to you”
[verse 4]
got up and wandered
i wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just to hang around
i’ve got a girl
named bonnie lee, i know that girl’s been true to me
know she’s been, i’m sure she’s been true to me
