We can share the women, we can share the wine.
We can share what we got of yours cause we done shared all of mine.
Keep on rollin, just a mile to go;
Keep on rollin my old buddy, you’re movin much too slow.
I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence.
Took his rings, four bucks in change, aint that heaven sent?
Hurts my ears to listen, shannon, burns my eyes to see;
Cut down a man in cold blood, shannon, might as well been me.
We used to play for silver, now we play for life;
And ones for sport and ones for blood at the point of a knife.
And now the die is shaken, now the die must fall.
There aint a winner in the game, he don’t go home with all.
Not with all.
Leavin texas, fourth day of july,
Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky.
Catch the detroit lightnin out of sante fe,
The great northern out of cheyenne, from sea to shining sea.
Gotta go to tulsa, first train we can ride.
Gotta settle one old score, one small point of pride.
There aint a place a man can hide, shannon will keep him from the sun
Aint a bed can give us rest now, you keep us on the run.
Jack straw from wichita cut his buddy down,
And dug for him a shallow grave and laid his body down.
Half a mile from tucson, by the morning light,
One man gone and another to go, my old buddy you’re moving much too slow.
We can share the women, we can share the wine

This song reminds me of the time we were on tour and killed that guy in the desert. We dug a shallow hole and put him in it.

Before I die, I'd like to learn how to eventually master this song, and play a 45 minute jam cover of it. It deserves to last longer than 5 minutes.
amazing song
This song starts out so strong. Not to say it doesn't finish just as strong. But damn. We can share the women, we can share the wine.
We can share what we got of yours cause we done shared all of mine
Robert Hunter: before 1972 it was about the music. After 1972 it was about the drugs. Cocaine, Heroin.
That chop at 2:04 gives me an orgasm every time I hear it.
Great Song..brings back memories of my time in Sewanee Tennessee going to school back around 1991…I can still smell the air if I try hard enough..
Europe '72 <3
So smooth.
One of my all-time faves by ANY band. Lyrics, as well as a young Garcia and Bob Weir singing and playing the music. Interesting regression here. Just as drug addiction might start with glazed eyes and a smile, it can end up with death. In this song/story, at the beginning they can "share the women/wine," but, by the end, someone "dug for him a shallow grave and laid his body down." EXCELLENT!!! Grim, but excellent!!!
The Dead were more patriotic than people realize; more in the artistic freedom manner than in the gung-ho manner, as evidenced by the red, white and blue colors of their emblem, the skull with the lightning!!!
I'm with u Mcburnie!!! For this song to be written from this perspective, with the musical talents of the band along with it, is incredible. Like a lot of Dead songs, there is a story to it…they begin by sharing, and, by the end, one is dead "at the point of a knife.." VERY realistic!!!
A little scarier to share the women these days
My favorite Greatful Dead song, its perfection! 🙂
best Dead song- great harmonies and bass work
their best imo, so beautiful
Perfect.
so love this song…
