Set out running but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep
Tonight
Smile, smile, smile…

Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.
Set out runnin' but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

Annie laid her head down in the roses.
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair.
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.

RIP Jimmy Criff 1944 - 2025
Jimmy Cliff made a surprise appearance on JGB. This song was a favorite of Garcia's from the early '70s to the end. We have lost another great singer. May he rest in peace

You got an empty cup only Jerry can fill
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says "don't you see?"
Gotta make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up
You got an empty cup
Only love can fill
Only love can fill

From the acidy, kaleidoscopic blues of Hi-Heel Sneakers to Jerry's most gnarly surf guitar on Cream Puff War to Pig's rapping on Midnight Hour this is a special recording of the Grateful Dead in their infancy
