Lady with a Fan
Let my inspiration flow
In token rhyme suggesting rhythm
That will not forsake me
Till my tale is told and done
While the firelights aglow
Strange shadows from the flames will grow
Till things weve never seen
Will seem familiar
Shadows of a sailor forming
Winds both foul and fair all swarm
Down in Carli... |
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps theyre better left unsung
I dont know, dont really care
Let there be songs to fill ... |
As I was walking round Grosvenor Square
Not a chill to the winter
But a nip to the air
From the other direction
She was calling my eye
It could be an illusion
But I might as well try
Might as well try
She had rings on her fingers and
Bells on her shoes
And I knew without asking she was
Into the blues
She wore scarlet b... |
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didnt get to sleep that night til the morning came around
Set out runnin but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in... |
Truckin, got my chips cashed in
Keep truckin, like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line
Just keep truckin on
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and its all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings... |
Well, the first days are the hardest days
Dont you worry anymore
Cause when life looks like Easy Street
There is danger at your door
Think this through with me
Let me know your mind
Woah, oh, what I want to know
Is are you kind?
Its a buck dancers choice my friend
Better take my advice
You know all the rules by now

Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by number morning sky looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I dont care cause its alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
I see youve got your fist out
Say your piece and get out
Yes, I g... |
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
This old engine
Makes it on time
Leaves Central Station
About a quarter to nine
Hits river junction
At seventeen to
At a quarter to ten
You know its traveling again

Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging or rain is falling from a heavy sky
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon, long ago
Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way like the day... |
I told Althea I was feeling lost
Lacking in some direction
Althea told me upon scrutiny
My back might need protection
I told Althea that treachery
Was tearing me limb from limb
Althea told me: now cool down boy
Settle back easy Jim
You may be Saturdays child all grown
Moving with a pinch of grace
You may be a clown in ... |
Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming
Heads all empty, and I dont care
Saw my baby down by the river
Knew shed have to come up soon for air
Sweet blossom come on under the willow
We can have high times if youll abide
We can discover the wonders of nature
Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside
Shes got everything delig... |
Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Goin to leave this brokedown palace
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time - in my time - I will roll, roll roll
In a bed, in a bed
By the watersid... |
Long distance runner, what you standin there for?
Get up, get out, get out of the door
Youre playin cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
Theres a dragon with matches thats loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire ... |
Saint Stephen with a rose
In and out of the garden he goes
Country garland in the wind and the rain
Wherever he goes, the people all complain
Stephen prospered in his time
Well he may and he may decline
Did it matter? Does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how
Wishing well with a golden bell
Bucket hanging c... |
Please dont dominate the rap, Jack
If youve got nothing new to say
If you please, dont back up the track
This trains got to run today
I spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
Heard some say: Better run away
Others say: You better stand still
Now I dont know but I been told
Its hard to run... |
Gone are the days when the ox fall down
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said Please
Gentle Jack Jones, wont you come to me
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty, but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin down
And it looks like the ... |
As we rowed up to Fennario
As we rowed up to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O
Come steppin down the stairs Pretty Peggy-O
Come steppin down the stairs Pretty Peggy-O
Come steppin down the stairs, holding back your yellow hair

You tell me this town aint got no heart
The sunny side of the street is dark
Maybe thats because its midnight
In the dark of the moon besides
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
You know you got such dark eyes!
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Dont tell me this town aint got no heart

In another times forgotten space
Your eyes looked through your mothers face
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Ill tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklins tower there hangs a bell

Dark star crashes
Pouring its light
Into ashes
Reason tatters
The forces tear loose
From the axis
Searchlight casting
For faults in the
Clouds of delusion
Shall we go
You and I
While we can?
Through
The transitive nightfall
Of diamonds
Mirror shatters
In formless reflections
Of matter
Glass hand dissolving
To ice petal... |
Right outside this lazy summer home
You aint got time to call your soul a critic no
Right outside the lazy gate of winters summer home
Wondering where the nuthatch winters
Wings a mile long just carried the bird away
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thou... |
In the timbers of Fennario
The wolves are running round
The winter was so hard and cold
Froze ten feet neath the ground
Dont murder me
I beg of you, dont murder me
Please dont murder me
I sat down to my supper
It was a bottle of red whiskey
I said my prayers and went to bed
Thats the last they saw of me
Dont murder me

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
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

Come on all you pretty women
With your hair a-hanging down
Open up your windows cause
The Candymans in town

Here he come and hes gone again
Pretty lady aint got no friend

Winter rain, now tell me why
Summers fade, and roses die
The answer came
The wind and rain
Golden hills, now veiled in gray
Summer leaves have blown away
Now what remains? The wind and rain
And like a desert spring
My lover comes and spreads her wings
Like a song thats born to soar the sky
Flowing till the waters all... |
I have seen where the wolf has slept by the
Silver stream
I can tell by the mark he left you were in his
Dream

Born to me

Paradise waits on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames
She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame
Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun
Dont stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she cant be outdone
Tell me the cost, I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost... |
I want to tell you how its going to be
Youre going to give your love to me
I want to love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
You know my love will not fade away
Not fade away
My love is bigger than a cadillac
I try to show you but you drive me back
Your love for me has got to be real

Went to see the captain, strangest I could find
Laid my proposition down, laid it on the line
I wont slave for beggars pay, likewise gold and jewels
But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools
Ship of fools on a cruel sea
Ship of fools sail away from me
It was later than I thought when I first believe... |
Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down
It was the afternoon of carnival
As she brushes it gently down
Reuben was strumming his painted mandolin
It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade
Played the carnival parade
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white
When a fatal vision gripped her tight
Cherise beware toni... |
I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running, running, running
I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in
Run around and run down
Run around a corner
Run smack into a tree
I had to move
Really had to move
Thats why, if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, dont you come around here anymore

My time coming, any day
Dont worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way
But Im in no hurry, no
Rainbows end down that highway
Where ocean breezes blow
My time coming, voices saying
And they tell me where to go
Dont worry bout me
No, no, dont worry bout me, no
And Im in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where to go

Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head

Hes gone, like a steam locomotive
Rolling down the track, hes gone, hes gone
And nothins going to bring him back, hes gone
Nine mile skid on ... |

Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme, suggesting rhythm

We can share the women, we can share the wine
We can share what we got of yours cause we done shared all of mine

The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded
Solemnly they stated, He has to die, you know he has to die.
All the children learnin, from books that they were burnin
Every leaf was turnin; to watch him die, you know he has to die
The summer sun looked down on him, his mother could but frown on him

When they come to take you down
When they bring that wagon round
When they come to call on you
And drag your poor body down
Just one thing I ask of you, is just one thing for me

Shake it, shake it, Sugaree
Just dont tell them that you know me

All I know is something like a bird
Within her sang
All I know she sang a little while
And then flew on
Tell me all that you know

Snow and rain
If you hear that same sweet song again
Will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet
Is passing by
Laugh in the sunshine
Sing
Cry in the dark

1948, Christmas eve, with a full moon over town
Stagger Lee shot Billy DeLions
And he blew that poor boy down
Do you know what he shot him for?
What do you make of that?
Because Billy DeLions threw the lucky dice
Won Stagger Lees Stetson hat
Bayo, Bayo, tell me how can this be?
You arrest the girls for turning tricks

On the day when I was born, Daddy sat down and cried

Since it cost a lot to win
And even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
Wondering what to choose

Watch each card you play
And play it slow
Wait until your deal come round
Dont you let that deal go down

For ten good solid years
If I told you all ... |
In the attics of my life
Full of cloudy dreams unreal
Full of tastes no tongue can know
And lights no eye can see
When there was no ear to hear
You sang to me
I have spent my life
Seeking all thats still unsung
Bent my ear to hear the tune
And closed my eyes to see
When there were no strings to play
You played to me

More than my wine, more than my maker, though hes no friend of mine

Are smarter than the men in every way
Thats right, the women are smarter

I dont know, it must have been the roses
All I know is I could not leave her there
I dont know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I dont know, maybe it was the roses
All I know was I ... |
Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says Dont you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe.
Dont give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
Only love can fill
Been walking all morning went walking all night
I cant see much difference between the dark and light
And I feel the wind... |
Without a warning you broke my heart
Taking it baby, tore it apart
And you left me standing in a dark clime
Said your love for me was dyin
So come on baby, baby please
Im begging you baby, Im on my knees
Turn on your light, let it shine on me
Turn on your love light, let it shine on me
Let it shine on me let shine, let... |
Mama said, Dont go near that river
Dont be hanging around old Catfish John
Come the morning, Id always be there
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn
Take me back to another morning, to a time so long ago
Where the sweet magnolia blossomed, cotton fields are white as snow
Catfish John was a river hobo who li... |
Thought I heard a blackbird singin
Up on Bluebird Hill
Call me a whinin boy if you will
Born where the sun dont shine
And I dont deny my name
Got no place to go, aint that a shame?
Thought I heard that KC whistle
Moanin sweet & low
Thought I heard that KC when she blow
Down where the sun dont shine
Underneath the Kokom... |
Theres mosquitoes on the river
Fish are rising up like birds
Its been hot for seven weeks now
Too hot to even speak now
Did you hear what I just heard?
Say it might have been a fiddle or it could have been the wind
But there seems to be a beat now I can feel it my feet now
Listen here it comes again!
Theres a band out ... |
Wake of the flood, laughing water, forty-nine
Get out the pans, dont just stand there dreaming
Get out the way, get out the way
Here comes sunshine
Here comes sunshine
Line up a long shot
Maybe try it two times, maybe more
Good to know you got shoes to wear when you find the floor
Why hold out for more?
Here comes suns... |
I rode in to Nazareth, was feeling about half past dead
I just need someplace where I could lay my head
I said, Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand and No is all he said
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on... |
Hog of a Sunday
Dog of a Monday
Get it back someday
Whatd I say?
Movin in close
Cut from a long shot
Fade on a downbeat
Ready or not ready or not
Chorus:
Corrina, Wake it up baby
Corrina, Shake it on down
Corrina, Corrina
Cruise through a stop sign
Loggin up short time
Bird on a phone line
Soakin up the Sun
Salt on a c... |
No, no! she cant take your mind and leave
I know its just another trick shes got up her sleeve
I cant believe that she really wants you to die
After all its more than enough to pay for your lie
Wait a minute, watch what youre doing with your time
All the endless ruins of the past must stay behind, yeah
Wait a minute, w... |
Arabian wind
The needles eye is thin
The Ships of State sail on mirage
And drown in sand
Out in No-mans Land
Where Allah does command
What good is spilling
Blood?It will not
Grow a thing
Taste eternity
The swords sings Blues for Allah
Insh Allah
They lie where they fall
Theres nothing more to say
The desert stars are b... |
Sleepy alligator in the noonday sun
Lying by the river just like he usually done
Call for his whiskey
He can call for his tea
Call all he want to but he cant call me
Oh no, well I been there before
And Im not coming back around
There no more
Hold up, waiting for a windy day
Creepy alligator coming all around the bend

Cosmic Charlie, how do you do?
Trucking in style along the avenue
Dum de dum de doodley do
Go on home your mamas calling you
Kalico, kahlia, come tell me the news
Calamitys waiting for a way to get to her
Rosy red and electric blue
I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe
Say youll come back when you can
Whenever you... |
The Lyrics dataset parsed from Genius. This dataset is designed to generate lyrics with HuggingArtists. Model is available here.
en
How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/the-grateful-dead")
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}
The data fields are the same among all splits.
text: a string feature.| train | validation | test |
|---|---|---|
| 2266 | - | - |
'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/the-grateful-dead")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
)
