[00:00.000] 作曲 : Jerry Garcia
[00:01.000] 作词 : Robert Hunter
[00:03.722]
[00:05.917] Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down
[00:11.402] It was the afternoon of carnival
[00:16.653] as she brushes it gently down
[00:21.068] Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin
[00:26.553] It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade
[00:31.700] Played in the carnival parade
[00:36.010] Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white
[00:41.678] when a fatal vision gripped her tight
[00:46.746] Cherise beware tonight
[00:51.291] Rubin, Rubin tell me truly true
[00:56.751] I feel afraid and I don't know why I do
[01:01.845] Is there another girl for you?
[01:09.473] If you could see my heart
[01:12.059] you would know it's true
[01:14.253] there's none Cherise, except for you
[01:18.433] except for you
[01:22.194] I'd swear to it on my very soul
[01:25.224] If I lie, may I fall down cold
[01:31.938] When Rubin played on his painted mandolin
[01:37.894] The breeze would pause to listen in
[01:42.962] before going on its way again
[01:47.115] Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke
[01:52.888] Like waves against the bandstand dancers broke
[01:57.747] to the painted mandolin
[02:05.479] Looking out to the crowd, who is standing there
[02:10.233] Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared
[02:14.387] At Rubin stared
[02:18.148] She was dressed as Pirouette in red
[02:20.970] And her hair hung gently down
[02:28.310] The crowd pressed round Ruby stood as though alone
[02:33.796] Rubin's song took on a different tone
[02:38.707] and he played it just for her
[02:42.991] The song he played was the Carnival Parade
[02:48.712] Each note cut a thread of Cherise's fate
[02:53.858] It cut through like a blade
[02:58.560] Rubin was playing his painted mandolin
[03:03.889] When Ruby froze and turned to stone
[03:08.669] for the strings played all alone
[03:13.267] The voice of Cherise from the face of the mandolin
[03:18.805] Singing: Rubin, Rubin tell me true
[03:23.716] for I have no one but you
[03:31.265] If you could see my heart
[03:33.877] you would know it true
[03:36.046] There's none Cherise, except for you
[03:40.225] except for you
[03:43.961] I'd swear to it on my very soul
[03:46.860] If I lie, may I fall down cold
[03:53.992] The truth of love an unsung song must tell
[03:59.660] The course of love must follow blind
[04:04.545] without a look behind
[04:09.169] Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans 'till dawn
[04:14.576] Cherise so lightly in his arms
[04:19.592] and her hair hung gently down
[04:25.574] ...
