Easy Wind - Grateful Dead

I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer,

Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway,

Live five years if I take my time,

Ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine.

I been chippin' these rocks from dawn till doom,

While my rider hide my bottle in the other room.

Doctor say better stop ballin' that jack,

If I live five years gonna bust my back, yes I will.

Easy wind cross the bayou today

Cause there’s a whole lotta women, mama,

Out in red on the streets today.

And the rivers keep a talkin',

But you never heard a word it said.

Gotta find a woman be good to me,

Won’t hide my liquor try to serve me tea,

Cause I’m a stone jack baller and my heart is true

And I’ll give everything that I got to you, yes I will.

Easy wind going cross the bayou today

There’s a whole lotta women, mama,

Out in red on the streets today.

And the rivers keep a talkin',

But you never heard a word it said.
