Born Cross-Eyed

Lyrics: Bob Weir
Music: Bob Weir

Seems like I've been here before
Fuzzy then and still so obscure
And I don't want to see anybody cry
Meet me some morning in the sweet bye and bye
Bye and bye

Song coming on
So pleasing to see come and gone
And you don't have to tell me why
Meet me some morning in the sweet bye and bye
Bye and bye

Think that I'm the only one left darling
About the time the sun rises west
Feeling groovy
Looking fine
Think I'll come back here again
Every now and then
From time to time

My, how lovely you are, my dear
The ball game has gone much too far, my dear
Sing to me
Do your thing to me
(Hop along honey, come along)
I'll meet you some morning
Meet you some morning in the sweet by and by
By and by
By and by

Recordings from dead.net Tapers Section

"The Dead" Concert Recordings

Notes
(1) the version issued as a single is included in the compilation What A Long Strange Trip It's Been and as a hidden track on the remastered album, originally issued as part of the box set The Golden Road (1965-1973). It is very similar to the "Anthem Of The Sun" version, except with a mono mix and with about 45 seconds of space/feedback at the end (instead of the fade out on "by and by").
