Grateful Dead - Greatest Story Ever Told Lyrics
Moses come riding up on a quasar
His spurs was a-jingling, the door was ajar
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold
I asked him to come on in out of the cold
His brain was boiling, his reason was spent
I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun
Now and again these things just got to be done
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
Get right to work if you have any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench
Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor
Says, "you ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door"
Moses stood up a full six foot ten
I asked him for water he poured me some wine
We finished the bottle then broke into mine
You get what you come for, you're ready to go
And it's one in ten thousand done come for the show
Abraham and Isaac digging on a well
Mama come quick with the water witch spell
Cool clear water where you can't never tell
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
Get right to work if you have any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench

GOD SAVE THE CROW...
F**king Donna gotta love her :)
hate donna lol
Sweet Fakie on Sweet Tits at 3:30... Thanks uploaded bro!!! 😎✌️👏💙🌎🇲🇸
Asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun, now and again these things just got to be done....
The first song from my first ever dead concert. I don't think I've ever heard a better version - but then I may be prejudiced :) - I remember the 1st half of show being blisteringly good and tight. Was disappointed that I didn't get a Dark Star in the 2nd half (at the time).
Ask him for water, he poured me some wine!!!
try www.archive.org if the date is right.
if this really is a part of the euro 72 tour. my second fave live commercial release. i'd be psyched to get more from that tour.
Phaser ???
sorry for late answer but i think it is a wah pedal
Good ole wah
i have never heard Donna kick more ass.
sam cutler at the beginning?
thank god for the Dead, u know it,s true only 1 in 10 thousand come for the shoe
Moses stood up about six foot ten. He said, "you can't close the door when the wall's caved in!"
6'10" that's NOT short
sizzling. best versions of this are from 72' in my opinion
I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun.
Luana Bilbao one of my favorite grateful dead quotes
love this recording.
You can't close the door when the wall's caved in!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the post, this has all the musical punch I remember. Don't know where I 1st heard it; must have been on an indep/progressive radio station in St. Louis. Could have sworn this was on the orig Europe 72 album, but I was wrong. Some versions avail on Amazon. Look for GD "Road Trips". Can't attest to sound quality.
1 in 10,000 that comes for the show...
this song rocks!
jam on jerry
where can i get this recording
fuck yeah !
Awesome!
Right out of the starting gates the way it should be.
They went from cold to smokin' licketysplit.
