Palm Sunday
Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia
Reprinted with permissions: copyright Ice Nine Publishing
The
Jerry Garcia Band recording on "
Cats Under The Stars" includes only the following verse:
The river so white
The mountain so red
and with the sunshine
over my head
The
honky-tonks are
all closed and hushed
It must be
Palm Sunday
again
Hunter subsequently wrote the following two additional verses:
The sky is so green
Clouds of canary
Blood moon rise like
a fat ripe cherry
Sunset quiet as
a
benediction
One true love
the rest is fiction
If I stay longer
trouble will find me
An
epitaph and
a
sheet to wind me
A passable day
for
the least of men
it must be
Palm Sunday
again
