China Doll Lyrics - The Grateful Dead From The Mars Hotel - Grateful Dead

A pistol shot at five o'clock 

The bells of heaven ring 

Tell me what you done it for 

No I won't tell you a thing 

Yesterday I begged you 

Before I hit the ground 

All I leave behind me 

Is only what I found 

If you can abide it 

Let the hurdy gurdy play 

Stranger ones have come by here 

Before they flew away 

I will not condemn you 

Nor yet would I deny 

I would ask the same of you 

But failing, will not die
