Culled from a posting by tkiriluk@well.com on The Well
"Bury Me Standing" by Bob Weir and ?
Once again the crossroads {and}
Ain't no moon shining through the trees
God has lost my number
He be begging baby please
Bury me standing
I've been too long on my knees
Angel and the Devil
They're walking side by side
Depending on each other
Neither one is satisfied
Bury me standing
It's the {hawks/hottest} {place} yet to hide (extreme slur here, hard
to guess what it might
really be, doesn't make
much sense to me as is)
Nothing you can figure
Nothing you can fix
Nothing to {obey}
Just a couple tricks
{You know} the {habit} {goes to} {call} (this is the toughest line
In theory the final word
should probably rhyme with
long, but it didn't sound
like it)
Bury me standing
I've been crawling way to long
Bury me standing
Baby down where I belong
Got a fist full of trouble
One more will make it free
Shake it shake it peaches baby
Peaches off that trouble tree
I could chang my way of living
It would mean so much to me
{Loose} smoke in the bar room babe
Tattooed muscles, beer for beer
God has lost my number
{Throw} {my donation} {in here} - Hard to hear over instrumental
{Tell} my {household} angel baby surge and crowd noise
So you tell her this year
Give me whiskey for whiskey
Give me blow for blow
Give me something to depend on baby
{Got to} go down slow
Give me fire for fire
Give me ice for ice
Give me something to live for baby
Wouldn't that be nice
God's {own eternal tease}
Bury me standing
I've been too long on my knees
Bury me in the crossroads
It's just where I gotta be
Once again the crossroads babe
Ain't no moon shining through the trees
Godhas lost my number
He be begging baby please
Bury me standing
I've been too long on my knees
Put me in the crossroads babe
Yes that's where {I'm placed to be}
