Grateful Dead - Dire Wolf

Grateful Dead - Dire Wolf

In the timbers of Fennario, the wolves are running round,
The winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.

I sat down to my supper, 'twas a bottle of red whisky,
I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.

When I awoke, the Dire Wolf, six hundred pounds of sin,
Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in".
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.

The Wolf came in, I got my cards, we sat down for a game.
I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades, but the cards were all the same.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.

In the backwash of Fennario, the black and bloody mire,
The Dire Wolf collects his dues, while the boys sing 'round the fire.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.
No, no, no don't murder me. I beg of you,
Don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.

@wallfootballplayer I am truly sorry to hear you have that horrible disease. As a practicing physician It is my unfortunate duty to tell you that there is no cure. However, to lessen the symptoms, I prescribe massive doses of 'Europe 72'.

@TheBestInterest

I Listen to all kinds of music, and the dead are one of my favorites. So is Eminem. I think you are lumping all rap into a category (belied by the fact that you put eminem and biggie in the same sentence, they are not even the same ballpark).

I'm not a hippie either, I just love music, and both these artists are great music for VERY different moods. Both of you are ignorant if you write off a whole genre of music based on it's reputation or anything else without listening

@blinginlike3p0 I don't mean to start an argument about Hip Hop on the comments of a GD song, but how are Eminem and Biggie not in the same ballpark? I guess u are implying Biggie was not a good rapper? Thats nonsense

@StonerMoaner420 You should listen to the Roots.

[StonerMoaner420]

@blinginlike3p0 Hahahahahahaha, you cant really call rap music dude. There is no talent in it what so ever, and the music are bloody beats. It's not like they had to get the band together and jam/practice, so as a musician I strongly believe that rap is some sort of lazy rip-of of music.

[Cheesebonerable]

3 people got murdered.

[OHNOTHIMAGEN1]
