"Dupree's Diamond Blues"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia

When I was just a little young boy,
Papa said "Son, you'll never get far,
I'll tell you the reason if you want to know,
'cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go"

Well baby, baby wants a gold diamond ring
Wants it more than most any old thing
Well when I get those jelly roll blues
Why I'd go and get anything in this world for you.

Down to the jewelry store packing a gun,
says "Wrap it up. I think I'll take this one"
"A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said
Dupree he said, "I'll pay this one off to you in lead"

Well you know son you just can't figure,
first thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger
and it's no wonder your reason goes bad -
jelly roll will drive you stone mad

Judge said "Son, this gonna cost you some time"
Dupree said "Judge, you know that crossed my mind"
Judge said "Fact it's gonna cost you your life"
Dupree said "Judge, you know that seems to me to be about right"

Well baby, baby's gonna lose her sweet man
Dupree come out with a losing hand
Baby's gonna weep it up for awhile
then go on out and find another sweet man's
gonna treat her with style

Judge said "Son, I know your baby well
but that's a secret I can't never tell"
Dupree said "Judge, well it's well understood,
and you got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good"

Well you know son you just can't figure,
first thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger
and it's no wonder your reason goes bad,
jelly roll will drive you stone mad

Same old story and I know it's been told,
some like jelly jelly - some like gold
Many a man's done a terrible thing
just to get baby that shiny diamond ring.


I Loved Hanging with the Boys!
Spent many days of many years with them.

I love this song - one of my favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think My Hunter is an amazing words smith & tickled my soul to delight! I have seen many hundred shows -
I really enjoyed my time with them.
I've ate, drank and hung out many nights with Jerry.
What a kind soul -
Thanks for this it made my night!

Now for some Jelly Jelly!


Love that song!

First recorded performance February 11, 1969, at the Fillmore East in New York. After 1969, dropped from the repertoire until the late seventies, when it made a brief re-appearance; then brought back in 1982 for the duration of the decade.

The text of the song is a re-working of a song, "Betty and Dupree," with many incarnations in American folk tradition. It was based upon a true incident:

"The biography of the man and his crimes may be summarized as follows: Frank Dupree grew up in Abbeville, South Carolina. He came on the scene in December 1921 in Atlanta, Georgia, where he had a gal Betty. In trying to appropriate a diamond for her in a jewelry store he shot a policeman down. Fleeing to Memphis and later to Chicago, where he was cornered, he killed a policeman and wounded several more. He was caught while getting his mail and sent to Atlanta for trial. He was executed for murder on September 1, 1922." (Roberts: In the Pine.)

DAMN!


(note to self, DO NOT ask Loren any questions about the Dead....)

Hey, the Jeweler gets the answer to the Dupree's Diamond Blues question! :lol:

Its one of my favorites too though Mexicali Blues is my favorite.

I wish now I made it so that you couldn't get it all off that one website though.

Oh well,
Congratulations Loren, send me your addy and I'll get something out hopefully tomorrow.

OK I think finding as question that can't be googled is hard.
That in mind I wonder if this will be to hard for anyone to answer.
I have a few clues that will give it away - (with a little work)
I'll keep them if it proves to be hard & taking long -

Anyone that gets this right before I make it easy will get a very nice package!!!!!

I've been planting trees like a mad man!

Mostly stuff that is easy to grow here, but I planted a tree that
is uncommon in my area. (what is it?)

Everyone can have 3 guesses per day.

I have a very busy day ahead so I may not answer back till later today

A Royal Palm

First for Today:
Japanese Maple, its the first one I could think of. I have one in my front yard and it is beautiful.

More guesses will come later.
