Lyrics: Jimmy McCracklin, Don Robey (note 1)
Music: Jimmy McCracklin, Don Robey

Played by Jerry with Merl Saunders in the 1970s and later with the JGB in the 1990s. More recently, played by Phil Lesh & Friends in 2005.

I could give up
My friends I know
And in return
You could give up yours
Before we think
What would we do later on?
What kind of life would we have
Just in case we both were wrong?

I give up my woman
You give your man
But it don't make sense
To take the chance
Before we think
What would we do later on?
What kind of life would we have
Just in case we both were wrong?

Well love is a gamble (note 2)
We know that's true
Why gamble on me?
Why should I on you?
Before we think
What would we do later on?
What kind of life would we have
Just in case we both were wrong?
