U.S. Blues (Grateful Dead)

Lyrics

Red and white, blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Give me five, still alive
Ain't no luck, learned to duck.

Check my pulse, it don't change
Stays seventy-two, come shine or rain.
Wave that flag, pop the bag
Rock the boat, skin the goat.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summer time done come and gone, my oh my.

I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am
I been hiding out in a rock n roll band.
Shake the hand, shook the hand
P.T. Barnum, Charlie Chan.

Shine your shoes, what's to lose
Can you use them old U.S. blues?
Drink your health, share your wealth
Run your life, steal your wife.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summer time done come and gone, my oh my.

Back to back, chicken shack
Son of a gun, better change your act.
We're all confused, what's to lose
You can call this song the United States Blues.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summer time done come and gone, my oh my.
My my my my my...
Summer time done, come and gone, my oh my....
Summer time done, come and gone, my oh my.
