Grateful Dead

The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. The band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, country, improvisational jazz, psychedelia, and space rock, and for live performances of long musical improvisation. "Their music," writes Lenny Kaye, "touches on ground that most other groups don't even know exists." These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead "the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world."

Come all you pretty women
With your hair hanging down
Open up your windows 'cause
The candy man's in town
Come on boys and gamble
Roll those laughing bones
Seven come eleven boys
I'll take your money home

Look out
Look out
The candy man
Here he come
And he's gone again
Pretty lady ain't
Got no friend
Till the candy man
Come round again

I come in from Memphis
Where I learned to talk the jive
When I get back to Memphis
Be one less man alive
Good Morning Mr. Benson
I see you're doing well
If I had me a shotgun
I'd blow you straight to Hell

Look out
Look out
The candy man
Here he come
And he's gone again
Pretty lady ain't
Got no friend
Till the candy man
Come round again

Come on boys and wager
If you have got the mind
If you got a dollar boys
Lay it on the line
Hand me my old guitar
Pass the whiskey round
Want you to tell everybody you meet
The candy man's in town

Look out
Look out
The candy man
Here he come
And he's gone again
Pretty lady ain't
Got no friend
Till the candy man
Come round again
