I've been to London, Leeds, York, and Aberdeen some ten years past. Most days were overcast with misting rain and this was mid-July. I've never seen such beautifully green countryside. The locals crabbed about being pissed on yet again, but I enjoyed it.

Surely you know this one. And yes, I'll stop calling you Shirley.

Sitting in an English garden
waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan
from standing in the English rain

OR

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina
Music would play and Feleena would whirl

From El Paso


OK, the Wikipedia for this song states:

Quote:
El Paso was covered most famously by The Grateful Dead. They started performing the song in 1969. When performed, it was sung by rhythm guitarist Bob Weir with Jerry Garcia contributing harmony vocals on the chorus. The last time they performed the song as The Grateful Dead was on July 5, 1995, 3 days prior to their final show. In all, it was performed 386 times. [1]
Can anyone provide a link to this version on-line. I just want to hear a piece of it to see how the Dead interpreted it.
