Sugaree Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter First release by: Grateful Dead - 1976
When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon 'round When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
You thought you was the cool fool and never could do no wrong Had everything sewed up tight. How come you lay awake all night long
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Well in spite of all you gained you still had to stand out in the pouring rain One last voice is calling you and I guess it's time you go
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Well shake it up now Sugaree, I'll meet you at the jubilee
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Although I love you so Oh you don't know You don't know just how I feel For my love I daren't reveal I am so, I'm so afraid You might not care Every time you pass me by Oh you don't know, you don't know What I go through Seeing someone else with you Oh I wish the one with you, were me But you don't know
I would tell you, if I believed That you might care some day But until then I'll never give this away So a secret it must stay And you don't know, you don't know How hard to bear Is this one way love affair For it breaks my heart to be in love When you don't know

I looked at your face; is that the face I love? It's been a long time since I've seen you You've got a lovely place; the kids must send their love We stood there lonely, baby, without you
Chorus: And girl, you don't have to walk in the rain 'Cause baby, I know things can be just the same as before When you walk through my door, you'll be home, girl When you walk through my door, you'll be home
I was so afraid I almost turned away But you know I need somebody to cling to I looked at your face; I love you anyway It's been a long time since I've seen you

When I said I needed you, you said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you, and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone and I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory, life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness, there's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me....
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me

You Don't Have To Cry Composer(s): Stephen Stills Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash
In the morning when you rise Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'? Are you thinkin' of telephones And managers and where you got to be at noon?

You Don't Have To Be In The Army To Fight In The War
You Don't Have To Be In The Army To Fight In The War Composer(s): Ray Dorset Performer(s): Mungo Jerry
When your girlfriend asks you 'round to her house and you meet her folks and they say that your hair's too long and you're not their kind of bloke they grab you by the collar and they throw you through the door You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Well, you're working very hard to get promotion in your job but arrive late on morning just because you missed the bus the foreman says "You're fired, because your punctuality's poor" You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Then you go into a hotel to get put up for the night and they say that you can't stay there, just because your shirt ain't white you're tired and you hungry, and you cannot walk no more You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Ain't no money, ain't no woman, ain't no roof above your head so you lay down in the park, and you wish that you were dead the fuzz says you are trespassing, and kicks you in the jaw You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
The fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war You don't have to be ...........(fade out)
