Old & In The Way - Panama Red lyrics

Played by Jerry Garcia with Peter Rowan in Old And In The Way in 1973. Also recorded and played by the New Riders of the Purple Sage (after Jerry had stopped playing with them) Panama Red, Panama Red He'll steal your woman, then he'll rob your head Panama Red, Panama Red On his white horse, Mescalito He come breezin' through town I'll bet your woman's up in bed with Panama Red The judge don't know when Red's in town He keeps well hidden underground But everybody's acting lazy Falling out and hangin' 'round My woman said, "Hey Pedro You're actin' crazy like a clown" Nobody feels like working Panama Red is back in town [Chorus] Everybody's looking out for him 'Cause they know Red's satisfies Little girls love to listen to him Sing and tell sweet lies But when things get too confusing, honey You're better off in bed And I'll be searching all the joints in town for Panama Red [Chorus]
