Underrated Grateful Dead Songs
44- Corrina
43- Keep Your Day Job
Daddy may drive a v-8 vette
Mama may bathe in champagne yet
God bless the child that’s got his own stash
Nine to five and a place to crash
Which is to say…
Sunday comes forget about work, ring that bell for whatever its worth.
If you ask me like I know you wont
Ill tell you what to do what I know that you wont.

42- Clementine
41- Barbed Wire Whipping Party
40 – Money Money.
My baby’s lovin’ gives me such a thrill;
It gives me inspiration makin’ counterfeit bills.
Now some folks say the best things in life are free,
39- Mountains Of The Moon
Down by the water, the Marsh King’s daughter, did you know?
Clothed in totters always will be. Tom, where did you go?Mountains of the moon, Electra, mountains of the moon,
All along the, all along the mountains of the moon.
38- Katie Mae
And she walks this life
Her daddy got oil wells in his backyard
Every time she got to working that woman she never has to work too hard.I say bye-bye poor Katie Mae
These are the last words I got to say
Cause if I don’t meet you tomorrow
I’ll get you early in the next day.
37- Mason’s children
36- Let Me Sing Your 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.
35- Sunrise
No one is forsaken, no one is a liar,
He plants the tree of life on our foreheads with water.He hums, there are drums, four winds, rising suns,
We are singing and playing, I her him saying.
34- The Main Ten
33- Dupree’s Diamond Blues
32- Born cross eyed
31- Stronger Than Dirt
30- Milking the Turkey

When the windows all are broken and your love’s become a toothless crone,
When the voices of the storm sound like a crowd,
Winter morning breaks, you’re all alone.
28- Sage & Spirit
27- Way To Go Home
Who’s it you remind me of
What do you do
When you do your own time
Did you run away
From the scene of your crime
I feel as though I know you
Could you spare me a dime
26- Black-throated Wind
25- Pride of Cucomunga
24- Tons Of Steel
23- Caution
I went down to see this Gypsy woman, you understand,
I told her my story, I told her what was goin’ on.
And she told me, man she said, all you need, all you need,
She said all you got to have, oh Lord,
Just a touch of Mojo’s hand, oh bring it back on,
And it feels pretty good, yes indeed.
22- Gentlemen Start Your Engines
21 – Brother Esau.
And he make a statement to someone in L. A.
Sometimes at night I dream, he’s still that hairy man,
Shadow boxing the apocalypse, wandering the land.
Esau holds the blessing, brother Esau holds the curse,
I was thinking that the blame was mine,
