Easy Wind Lyrics - Workingman's Dead - Grateful Dead

I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer 

Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway 

Live five years if I take my time 

Ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine 

I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom 

While my rider hide my bottle in the other room 

Doctor say better stop ballin' that jack 

If I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will 

Easy wind cross the Bayou today 

'Cause there's a whole lotta women, mama 

Out in red on the streets today 

And the rivers keep a talkin' 

But you never heard a word it said 

Gotta find a woman be good to me 

Won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea 

'Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true 

And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will
