Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold mountain water, the jade merchant's daughter
Mountains of the moon, electra, bow and bend to me
Hi-ho, the carrion crow, fol-de-rol-de riddle
Hi-ho, the carrion crow, bow and bend to me
[Verse 2]
Hey, Tom Banjo
Hey, a laurel
More than laurel, you may sow
More than laurel, you may sow
[Verse 3]
Hey, the laurel, hey, the city in the rain
Hey, hey, hey, the wild wheat waving in the wind
[Verse 4]
Twenty degrees of solitude, twenty degrees in all
All the dancing kings and wives assembled in the hall
Lost is the long and loneliest town, fairy Sybil flying
All along the, all along the mountains of the moon
[Verse 5]
Hey, Tom Banjo
It's time to matter
The Earth will see you on through this time
The Earth will see you on through this time
[Verse 6]
Down by the water, the marsh king's daughter
Did you know? Clothed in tatters, always will be
Tom, where did you go?
[Verse 7]
Mountains of the moon, electra, mountains of the moon
All along the, all along the mountains of the moon
[Verse 8]
Hi-ho, the carrion crow, fol-de-rol-de riddle
Hi-ho, the carrion crow, bow and bend to me
Bend to me
Written by: Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter
