Lonesome Town

Lyrics: Thomas Baker Knight
Music: Thomas Baker Knight

Two different versions are included on the Jerry Garcia box set All Good Things, both outtakes from the "Compliments Of..." sessions. It doesn't seem that Garcia ever played it live.

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears

Goin' down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away

In the town of broken dreams
The streets are paved with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
