    Don't ease, don't ease
    Don't ease me in
    I've been all night long coming home
    Don't ease me in

    I was standing at the corner
    Talking to Miss Brown
    Well I turned around, sweet moma
    She was way cross town

    So I'm walking down the street
    With a dollar in my hand
    I've been looking for a woman, sweet moma
    Ain't got no man

    The girl I love
    She's sweet and true
    You know the dress she wears, sweet moma
    It's pink and blue

    She brings me coffee
    You know she brings me tea
    She brings 'bout every damn thing
    But the jailhouse key

    One side of the Grateful Dead's first single, released in 1966. Played live right through to 1995, with some variations. Not played by any other Dead-related bands until Ratdog in 2006.

    This is the 1980 studio version from "Go To Heaven".

Don't ease, don't ease
Don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home
Don't ease me in

So I'm walking down the street
With a dollar in my hand
I've been looking for a woman, sweet moma

She's sweet and true
You know the dress she wears, sweet moma
It's pink and blue

She brings me coffee
You know she brings me tea
