Rubin and Cherise - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Friends[00:00:00]
Written by:Jerry Garcia[00:00:02]
Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down[00:00:48]
It was the afternoon of carnival as[00:00:53]
She brushes it gently down[00:00:58]
Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin[00:01:03]
It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade[00:01:08]
Played in the carnival parade[00:01:13]
Cherise was dressing as pirouette in white[00:01:17]
When a fatal vision gripped her tight cherise beware tonight[00:01:23]
Rubin rubin tell me truly true[00:01:32]
I feel afraid and I don't know why I do[00:01:37]
Is there another girl for you[00:01:42]
If you could see my heart you would know it's true[00:01:49]
There's none cherise except for you except for you[00:01:54]
I'd swear to it on my very soul[00:02:02]
If I lie say I fall down cold[00:02:05]
When rubin played on his painted mandolin[00:02:11]
The breeze would pause to listen in[00:02:17]
Before going on its way again[00:02:22]
Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke[00:02:26]
Like waves against the bandstand[00:02:32]
Dancers broke to the painted mandolin[00:02:33]
Looking out to the crowd who is standing there[00:02:44]
Sweet ruby claire at rubin stared at rubin stared[00:02:48]
She was dressed as pirouette in red[00:02:56]
And her hair hung gently down[00:02:59]
The crowd pressed round ruby stood as though alone[00:03:05]
Rubin's song took on a different tone[00:03:11]
And he played it just for her[00:03:16]
The song he played was the carnival parade[00:03:20]
Each note cut a thread of cherise's fate[00:03:25]
It cut through like a blade[00:03:31]
Rubin was playing his painted mandolin[00:03:35]
When ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings[00:03:40]
Played all alone[00:03:46]
The voice of cherise from the face of the mandolin[00:03:50]
Singing rubin rubin tell me true for[00:03:55]
I have no one but you[00:04:00]
If you could see my heart you would know it true[00:04:07]
There's none cherise except for you[00:04:12]
Except for you[00:04:16]
I'd swear to it on my very soul if I lie[00:04:20]
Say I fall down cold[00:04:23]
The truth of love an unsung song must tell[00:04:29]
The course of love must follow blind[00:04:35]
Without a look behind[00:04:39]
Rubin walked the streets of new orleans till dawn[00:04:44]
Cherise so lightly in his arms[00:04:49]
And her hair hung gently down[00:04:53]
