Grateful Dead - Death Don't Have No Mercy

The song that made me fall in love with the Grateful Dead.
Y' Know Death Don't Have No Mercy In This Land
Death Don't Have No Mercy In This Land, In This Land
Come To Your House, You Know He Don't Take Long
Look In Bed This Morning, Children Find Your Mother Gone.
I Said Death Don't Have No Mercy In This Land.
Death Will Leave You Standing And Crying In This Land,
Death Will Leave You Standing And Crying In This Land, In This Land, Yeah!
Whoa! Come To Your House, Y' Know He Don't Stay Long,
Y' Look In Bed This Morning,
Children You Find That Your Brothers And Sisters Are Gone.
I Said Death Don't Have No Mercy In This Land.
Death Will Go In Any Family In This Land.
Death Will Go In Any Family In This Land.
Come To Your House, you know he don't take long.
Look in the bed on the morning, Children Find That Your Family's Gone.
I Said Death Don't Have No Mercy In This Land.
Death Will Leave You Standing And Crying In This Land,
In This Land. Whoa! Come To Your House,
Y' Know It Don't Stay Long, Y' Look In Bed This Morning,
Children Find That Your Brothers And Sisters Are Gone.
I Said Death Don't, Death Don't Have No Mercy In This Land.

jerry's solo is simply sublime -- one of their greatest moments -- one of the greatest in rock

[@DrJerome42]

couldn't agree with you more. was lucky enough to be at this one. that jam is just plain nasty. never have heard Jerry play like that before or since then. still blows me away when i hear it today.

[@freeunion]

only 18,000 hits; this masterpiece should have a million

[@stevesnodgrass7434]

I don't understand all the this version or that version, just listen and enjoy.

[@freeunion]

amen

[@rideronthepaper]

There's a different version of this song from Mark Lanegan which is very good too.

[@pinkstarburst95]

Death don't, have no mercy, in this land.

[@peterfilardo9380]

this great version comes, i believe, when Jerry was temporarily heroin-free -- what a difference it makes!

[@MikeOrlowski]

Rev. Gary Davis' version is so much better... this can't even compare

[@RiC_David]

@icketypickety The irony of that performer's name is killing me. You know she actually adopted it because she loved the Queen song 'Radio Gaga' so much? As in "all we hear is radio gaga..." You couldn't misinterpret the message of a song more completely if you tried!

[@TheSecondNature]

hot tuna' s version is better, but this is not bad!

[@VulturesAwait]

please dont mention that certain "performers" name here ever again!

[@TheRandomSandwich]

im sorry but rev gary davis' version is soo much better

[@freeunion]

no disrespect to Jerry's great talent, but he is playing in Hendrix territory here...

[@hiu1102]

just listened to rev gary davis' version, I'm sorry. I just don't feel anything at all from this guy. and Eletric guitar?? no. Listen to Rev. Gary Davis'!
