China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider (Live at Winterland, San Francisco, CA, October 20, 1974)

Lyrics

[China Cat Sunflower] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Look for a while at the china cat sunflower Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandanna Like a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle To a double-e waterfall over my back [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Comic book colors on a violin river Crying a lot of words from out a silk trombone I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee [Instrumental] [I Know You Rider] [Chorus] I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms [Verse 1] Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the West [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] The sun will shine in my back door someday The sun will shine in my back door someday March winds will blow all my troubles away [Verse 3] I wish I was a headlight, on a northbound train I wish I was a headlight, on a northbound train I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain [Chorus] I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms [Instrumental Break] [Outro] I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms
