Annie laid her head down in the roses.
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair.
I dont know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.
I dont know, it must have been the roses,
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.
I dont know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.
Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea,
Thinkin well how it may blow in all good company,
If I tell another what your own lips told to me,
Let me lay neath the roses, till my eyes no longer see.
Grateful Dead, Album Steal your Face 1976.
The album was recorded live in concert between October 16 and October 20, 1974
at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom as part of the band's then-"farewell run"
Great classic sounds from the Dead...good image to go with the song. (not the song I would have thought & was looking for an image for that song on a walk...)
