Ki-yi Bossie Lyrics - Bob Weir

in a cold church basement 

one november friday night 

come along, come along 

in a twelve step meeting 

under harsh flourescent light 

and that's bright 

hey come on 

i know i deserved to be there 

but i don't remember why 

i was looking for salvation 

but nothing caught my eye 

my turn to tell my story 

and i guess it's worth a try 

come along, come along 

come along, come along 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie 

come-a Bossie come along 

come Ki Yi Bossie come along 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie 

come-a Bossie come along 

come along, come along 

come along, come along 

well i guess she had other interests 

she had something else to do 

you okay? 

well, me too 

so tell me 

whatcha gonna whatcha gonna whatcha gonna do 

well okay 

boo hoo 

so now the happy hour 

is raining on my shoes 

and it's not all that important 

which poison that you choose 

when you're tuned enough 

to sing the roaming 

coke and whiskey blues 

and that melody 

comes through 

and now you're paying 

your dues 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie 

come-a Bossie come along 

come Ki Yi Bossie come along 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie 

come-a Bossie come along 

come along, come along 

come along, yeah come on 

back before i drove a pickup 

and i took up buckin bales 

come along, come along 

i was looking high and low for meaning 

i was into saving whales 

before they're all gone 

but the weeds grow high 

it's where it all begins 

when i stopped to wonder why 

that was fertile ground for sin 

just pour some whiskey on 

and watch the fun begin 

come on, come along 

what could possibly go wrong 

here pour a little whiskey 

on that fertile patch of soil 

come along, come along 

sprinkle in a little heartache 

watch the ground begin to boil 

now it's 

it's coming on strong 

as it starts to take a shape 

there ain't nothing there to like 

you best have quick reaction 

to the rattle coil and strike 

time to change the scenery 

it's time to hit the pipe 

and okay 

i'm gone 

they say each of us has meaning 

time to bring that all to light 

well alright, right on 

come along, come along 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie 

come Bossie come along 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie come along 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie 

come Bossie come along 

come along, come along 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie 

come Bossie come along 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie come along 

come-a Ki Yi Bossie 

come-a Bossie come along 

come along come on 

come along come along 

come along come on 

come on, yeah come on
