[Jerry Garcia]
Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land
In this land
He come to your house, and it don't take long
You look in the bed this morning children
You find that your mother is gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land

[Bob Weir]
Death don't take no vacation in this land
Yes and death don't take no vacation in this land
In this land
He come to your house, you know he don't stay long
Look around the room, your whole family will be gone, family will be gone
Death don't take no vacation in this land

[Brent Mydland]
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land
I tell you, death will leave you standing and crying in this land
Oh Lord, oh lord
He comes to your house, and it don't take long
You look in the bed and you find your mother gone
Death don't have no mercy, death don't have no mercy
No mercy, no mercy, no death don't have

[All - Jerry on lead, with others singing harmony]
Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land
In this land
He come to your house, don't take long
You wake up one morning, well everybody be gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land

I love when they come out of brent's solo and jerry does this slide down and nails a hard E, while bob hits some sort of surfer sound chord, very cool. 6:00

AND HERE'S THE PLAY BY PLAY at 5:50. Brent finishing up a great solo...Oh my Jerry is is really digging in hard to help Brent finish strong. Jerry hits a power chord but oh my BOBBY hits a weird surfer chord and it fits great. Jerry is happy, this rocks!!!!
