  • Cathy's Clown
    Lyrics By:

    Don't want your love any more
    Don't want your kisses that's for sure
    I die each time I hear the sound
    Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

    I gotta stand tall
    You know a man can't crawl
    For when he knows he's telling lies
    And he lets them pass on by
    He's not a man at all

    When you see me shed a tear
    And when you know that it's sincere
    Don't you think it's kind of sad
    That you're treating me so bad
    Or don't you even care

    This was apparently played during two Dead shows billed as Bobby Ace And The Cards From The Bottom Of The Deck (on 6/11/69 and 4/17/70). No tapes of these shows circulate. It was reportedly also played at the Hell's Angels benefit on 11/23/70, though it does not appear in the DeadBase list.
