Question
Hello,
I was wondering if you could provide the lyrics to Bartender on Live at Folsom Field disc? What I'm looking for is after Dave does his falsetto solo. It starts after the words I pray, I pray.

Also, I would to know what Dave is saying at the end of Don't Drink the Water on The Central Park Concert disc.

I've been trying to figure it out, but just can't get it. If you have it that would be awesome. Thanks so much for your time.

Answer
The lyrics for Bartender are: If I go before I'm old
Oh brother of mine please don't forget me if I go
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free, after three days in the ground

Oh and if I die before my time
Oh sweet sister of mine please don't regret me if I go
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free after three days in the ground
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free after three days in the ground

I'm on bended knee I pray Bartender please
Oh when I was young I didn't think about it,
But now I can't get it out of my mind
I'm on bended knee please father please

Oh if all this gold, should steal my soul away
Oh dear mother of mine, please redirect me if this gold
Bartender you see, this wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil's tree roots
Deep deep in the ground

Bartender you see, this wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil's tree roots
Deep deep in the ground
I'm on bended knee I pray Bartender please
I'm on bended knee please mama please
Oh when I was young I didn't think about it,
But now I just want to run and hide
I'm on bended knee Bartender please

And at the end of Don't Drink the Water, Dave says:
"Be alone again.
Don't drink the water, dont drink the water, dont drink the water, dont drink the water, there's blood in the water.
On the sound of the... (cant understnad it here) ill need myself...
I'm gonna bury light (or Like) before bury light (or like) before, I will see the rain water down on your head"

Well, thats what I understood, it's, odd to say the least and not might be right, but I'm pretty sure thats what he's saying.
