The Grateful Dead
Doin’ that Rag (Live at The Ark, Boston, MA, April 22, 1969)
[Verse 1]
You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset
No one is watching or standing in your shoes
Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning
Everything promised is delivered to you
Don't neglect to pick up what your share is
All the winter birds are winging home now
Hey Love, go and look around you
Nothing out there you haven't seen before now

[Chorus]
Wade in the water
You never get wet
If you keep on doin' that rag
Wade in the water, you never get wet
If you keep on doin' the rag

[Verse 2]
One-eyed jacks and the deuces are wild
And the aces are crawling up and down your sleeve
Come back here, Baby Louise
And tell me the name of the game that you play

[Refrain]
Is it all fall down?
Is it all go under?
Is it all fall down?
Is it all go under?
Is it all fall down?
All go under?
Is it all fall down?
Is it all go under?
Is it all fall down?
Is it all go under?
All fall down?
Is it all go under?
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Everywhere I go, the people all know
Everybody's doin' that rag
