Mickey Hart Band Slow Joe Rain lyrics

I'm Slow Joe Rain from Lake Champlain
I like my oysters raw
I like my women fat and mean
I don't obey the law

I didn't come to stand around
And practice on my grin
When I'm knocking on your door,
Get up and let me in

I'm Slow Joe Rain from Lake Champlain,
A thistle in the wind
I'm Slow Joe Rain from Lake Champlain,
I won't tell you again

This is not my story,
Which it would not do to tell
This is not the history of
My nine foot chain in hell

It's just my observation
You can take it for what it's worth
If you can't fix a busted heart,
Don't try to save the earth

I'm Slow Joe Rain from Lake Champlain,
A thistle in the wind
I'm Slow Joe Rain from Lake Champlain,
I won't tell you again


I got no ambition
But to get an honest break
And try to give back
Just as good as I might ever take

When it comes to lovin',
I'm jealous in my pride
That's why I walk my way alone,
With no one by my side

I'm Slow Joe Rain from Lake Champlain,
A thistle in the wind
I'm Slow Joe Rain from Lake Champlain,
I won't tell you again

I'm Slow Joe Rain from Lake Champlain,
A thistle in the wind
I'm Slow Joe Rain from Lake Champlain,
I won't tell you again

I say I won't tell you again
I say I won't tell you again
I say I won't tell you again
I won't tell you again
I say I won't tell you again
