Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo
(Garcia,Hunter)
Intro
On the day when I was born
Daddy sat down and cried.
I had the mark just as plain as day;
Which could not be denied.
They say that Cain caught Abel
Rollin loaded dice;
Ace of Spades behind his ear
And him not thinkin twice.
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo
Hello, baby, I m gone, goodbye
Half a cup of Rock and Rye.
Farewell to you old Southern skies
I m on my way, on my way.

If all you got to live for
Is what you left behind,
Get yourself a powder charge
And seal that silver mine.
Lost my boots in transit, babe,
A pile of smokin leather.
I nailed a retread to my feet
And prayed for better weather.
They say that when your ship comes in,
The first man takes the sails;
The second takes the afterdeck,
The third the planks and rails
What s the point of callin shots;
This cue ain t straight in line.
Cue ball s made of styrofoam
And no one s got the time.
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river.
