The Grateful Dead
Don’t Ease Me In (Live at Fairgrounds Arena, Oklahoma City, OK, October 19, 1973)
[Chorus]
Don't ease, don't ease
Don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in

[Verse 1]
I was walking down Main
With a dollar in my hand
I was looking for a woman
Sweet mama didn't have a man

[Chorus]
Don't ease, don't ease
Don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I was walking down Main, Deep Elem in June
You know all those women down there got the Texas blues

[Chorus]
Don't ease, don't ease
Don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming homе, don't ease me in
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Thе girl I love, she's sweet and true
The dress she wears, sweet mama, it's pink and blue
She brings me coffee, she brings me tea
She brings me about every darn thing but the jailhouse key

[Chorus]
Don't ease, don't ease
Don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in

[Outro]
Don't ease, don't ease
Don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in
