lirik lagu wharf rat (live at winterland, sf, december 31, 1978) – grateful dead

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
my name is august west, and i love my pearly baker best, more than my wine

more than my wine, more than my maker, though he’s no friend of mine
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

but i’ll get back on my feet someday
the good lord willing, if he says i may
i know that the life i’m living’s no good
i’ll get a new start, live the life i should

i’ll get up and fly away
i’ll get up and fly away, fly away

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”

[instrumental break]

got up and wandered, i wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around
i’ve got a girl, named bonnie lee, i know that girl’s been true to me
i know she’s been, i’m sure she’s been true to me
