US Blues (Grateful Dead)

Red and White, Blue Suede Shoes
I'm Uncle Sam, How do you do?
Give me five, I'm still alive
Ain't no luck, I've learned to duck

Check my pulse, it don't change
Stays 72, come shine or rain
Wave the flag, pop the bag
Rock the boat, Skin the goat

Chorus:
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summer time done, come and gone my oh my

I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am
Been hiding out in a rock 'n roll band
Shake the hand, that shook the hand
of PT Barnum, and Charlie Chan

Shine your shoes, Light the fuse
Can you use, them old US Blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth
Run your life, steal your wife

Chorus, then lead

Back to back, Chicken Shack
Sun of a gun, you better change your act
Your all confused, what's to lose?
You can call this song the United States Blues

Extended Chorus then end
