 Rate Wharf Rat
Artist : Grateful dead
Song : Wharf rat
Old man down, way down down, down by the docks of
the city.
Blind and dirty, asked me for a dime, a dime for
a cup of coffee.
I got no dime but I got some time to hear his
story.
My name is august west, and I love my pearly
baker best more than my wine.
More than my wine - more than my maker, though
he’s no friend of mine.
Everyone said, I’d come to no good, I knew I
would pearly, believe them.
Half of my life, I spent doin’ time for some
other fucker’s crime,
The other half found me stumbling ’round drunk on
burgundy wine.
But I’ll get back on my feet again someday,
The good lord willin’, if he says I may.
I know that the life I’m livin’s no good,
I’ll get a new start, live the life I should.
I’ll get up and fly away, I’ll get up and fly
away, fly away.
Pearly’s been true, true to me, true to my dyin’
day he said,
I said to him, I said to him, "i’m sure
she’s been."
I said to him, "i’m sure she’s been true to
you."
Got up and wandered, wandered downtown, nowhere
to go but just hang around.
I’ve got a girl, named bonnie lee, I know that
girl’s been true to me.
I know she’s been, I’m sure she’s been true to
me.
