Lyrics: John Perry Barlow
Music: Bob Weir
Recordings: Heaven Help The Fool

The Dead only played this once, in Salt Lake City on 21 February 1995. They stuck very close to the version Bob Weir played with most of his bands.

It was a paradise for lizards when young Brigham saw it first

He said I've seen some nasty deserts Lord, but this one here's the worst

Then the Lord called down to Brigham, said "I've got a great idea"

I want a mighty city and I think I want it here

Salt Lake City, that town of righteousness and fame

Salt Lake City, don't sound like much, but hell what's in a name?

Nobody ever sings about it, but Lord I be going there just the same

Salt Lake City, where it's so easy keeping straight

Salt Lake City, just really makes Des Moines look second rate

Ain't making no big deal about it

But I hear the Mormon girls are really great

Salt Lake City, hey, dig that Tabernacle Choir

Salt Lake City, yeah they be bound to take you higher

There just ain't no two ways about it, yes Lord they really light my fire

Well Brigham kicked a prairie dog, and he muttered in his beard

Said you've put me through some changes Lord but this one's really weird

The Lord just laughed at Brigham, said "you'd better get to work"

The next time I check in here, I want paradise on earth

Salt Lake City, where Brigham made the desert bloom

Salt Lake City, put a colour TV in every room

And they got them crazy Mormon chicks, yes I'll be going there real soon

Salt Lake City, hey feel that magic in the air

Salt Lake City, you know that's kind of why I like it there

Salt Lake City, well you know that's where I'm bound

Salt Lake City, I'm going down to Salt Lake town
