Row Jimmy (05-13-1973 Iowa State Fairgrounds, Des Moines, IA) Songtext
von Grateful Dead

Julie catch a rabbit by his hair
Humbleback step would like to walk on air
Get back home where you belong
And don′t you run off no more
Don't hang your head, let the two-time roll
Glass shack nailed to a pine wood floor
What′s the time, baby? I don't know
Come back later, gonna let it show

And I say, "Row, Jimmy, row"
Gonna get there? I don't know
Seems a common way to go
Get down, row
Row, row, row, row

Here′s a half a dollar if you dare
Double twist when you hit the air
Look at Julie, down below
Levy doing the do-pas-o


I say, "Row, Jimmy, row"
Gonna get there? I don′t know
Seems a common way to go
Get down, row
Row, row, row, row

Broken heart don't feel so bad
When you′re coming home with your pay in your hand
Row, Jimmy, row
Row, row, row, row
Rocking baby to and fro
Not too fast and not too slow

And I say, "Roll, Jimmy, roll
Gonna get there? I don't know"
Seems a common way to go
Get down and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll

That′s the way it's been in town
Ever since they tore the jukebox down
Two-bit piece don′t buy no more
Not so much as it done before

And I say, "Roll, Jimmy, roll
Gonna get there? I don't know"
Seems a common way to go
Get down and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll


Get down and roll, Jimmy, roll
Gonna get there? I don't know
Seems a common way to go
Get down and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
Get down and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
Get down and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
