Palm Sunday
Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia

The Jerry Garcia Band recording on "Cats Under The Stars" includes only the following verse:

The river so white
The mountain so red
and with the sunshine
over my head
The honky-tonks are
all closed and hushed
It must be
Palm Sunday
again

Hunter subsequently wrote the following two additional verses:

The sky is so green
Clouds of canary
Blood moon rise like
a fat ripe cherry
Sunset quiet as
a benediction
One true love
the rest is fiction


If I stay longer
trouble will find me
An epitaph and a
sheet to wind
me
A passable day
for the least of men
it must be
Palm Sunday
again
