The Grateful Dead — Brown-Eyed Women Live at Auditorium Theater Chicago August 24 1971

[Verse 1] Gone are the days when the ox fall down Take up the yoke and plow the fields around Gone are the days when the ladies said, "Please Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me" [Chorus] Brown-eyed women and red grenadine The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down And it looks like the old man's gettin' on [Verse 2] 1929 when he stepped to the bar Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar 1930 when the wall caved in He paid his way selling red-eyed gin [Chorus] Brown-eyed women and red grenadine The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down And it looks like the old man's gettin' on [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] Delilah Jones was the mother of twins Two times over and the rest were sins Thirteen children, only I turned bad Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had [Chorus] Brown-eyed women and red grenadine The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down And it looks like the old man's gettin' on [Bridge] Daddy made whiskey and he made it well Cost two dollars and it burned like hell I cut hickory just to fire the still Took two drinks and be ready to kill [Chorus] Brown-eyed women and red grenadine The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean The sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down And it looks like the old man's gettin' on [Verse 1 repeated] Gone are the days when the ox fall down Take up the yoke and plow the fields around Gone are the days when the ladies said, "Please Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me" [Chorus] Brown-eyed women and red grenadine The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean The sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down And it looks like the old man's gettin' on And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
