Grateful Dead - Let Me Sing Your Blues Away Lyrics
Gonna hop in the hack then turn on the key,
Pop in the clutch, let the wheels roll free,
Not a cloud in the sky, such a sunny day,
Push in the button, let the top ten play.
Come on honey, let me sing 'em away,
Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away.
Give me a little of that old time love,
Cause I ain't never had near enough.
Honey, walk that walk with style and grace,
This ain't no knock-down drag-out race.
It don't matter much, pick any gear,
Brind you a pound and drop the rear.
I'm here to drive those blues away.
I sent a letter to a man I know,
Said, "One for the money and two for the show."
I wait all summer for his reply
Said, "Three to get ready and four to fly."
Only two things in the world I love,
That's rock 'n' roll and my turtle dove.
When I was a young man I needed good luck,
But I'm a little bit older now and I know my stuff.
Come on honey, let me sing 'em away,
Come on honey, let me sing 'em away,
Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away.

Sweetness <3 :) QC
Love the The Dead, hate saxophone. Nasty, grimy sounding instrument.
Sax is so sex... a wonderful instrument!
The only song Keith wrote and sang for the Grateful Dead, Hunter wrote the lyrics, he wrote it for Keith, haunting and uplifting at the same time, I only saw Keith once when I was 14, my first show...
love it!!!
One in every crowd.
Sax gets me every time...
forgotten 1970's dead tune just so kool....!!!!
There's someone who doesn't like this?
Sweet ! "I'm a little bit older now." Just remembered how sweet sax can be. Next, I'm lookin' for Junior Walker.
Sounds like the intro to a 70s tv show
more like T.V producers were like.. we should make lame sitcom intro's sound like the best band EVER!! 0,o
I agree and the TV show was the intro to Saturday Night Live
Love song.......so perfect. Let me sing your blues away.
Underrated Dead tune.
Martin Fierro? Yeah
The Best!

@Steven Mcclain....Amen, Brother!
Seriously treschdawg, if you are going to talk down at someone for liking studio material and then follow it up by trying to validate your deadhead status by citing '77 and 5/8, the most noobish year/show to mention, than you are missing the whole spirit of loving the dead
This is probably The Dead's most underrated tune ever!
Keith's only contribution writing/singing wise, too bad
amazing.a favorite if there could ever be with the dead.
Damn never heard this before. Never knew Keith could sing like this. WOW i'm really diggin this tune! Thanks for the upload.
@cjwalsh91 ...Beauty?
when i was a young man need luck little bit older know my stuff.....hell yeah!!!!
great keith tune very kool little nuggent.....70's dead!!!!
the sax in this... ahhhh. beautiful.
@visicapiscus Wrong. Keith is lead in this song and Donna Godchaux and Garcia backing. Donna has a strong voice yes, but she is not the MAN that is singing this tune.
One of the great underrated tunes..love me some Dead w/horns~
@charfman84 This is the only song he sung lead on. They only played the song a few times.
He wrote music with Jerry. Hunter wrote the words.
i don't think that's correct. i think the music is all keith's
@charfman84
I think it's the only song he wrote with the band... i dig it too. Horns... There are some good shows from 73 on the archive with this tune and horns.
@GuitarfiendIII
thanks, I knew it sounded unfamiliar. Does he sing lead on anything else you know of? Cool song.
@charfman84 Found it from Wikipedia it's Keith Godchaux
who's singing lead?
