Don’t Ease Me In/Don’t Leave Me Here

 Henry Thomas

Henry Thomas: Capo 7th, D position sounding A; Grateful Dead plays in E.

Chorus:

[D]Don’t ease, don’t ease

Don’t ease me [A]in

I’ve been all night long coming home

Don’t ease me [D]in

—

I was standing on the corner

With a dollar in my hand

I was looking for a woman, sweet moma

Didn’t have no man

—

[D]Don’t ease, don’t ease

Don’t ease me [A]in

I’ve been all night long coming home

Don’t ease me [D]in

—

The girl I love

She’s sweet and true

And the dress she wears, sweet moma

It’s pink and blue

—

[D]Don’t ease, don’t ease

Don’t ease me [A]in

I’ve been all night long coming home

Don’t ease me [D]in

—

She brings me coffee

You know she brings me tea

She brings me ’bout every darn thing

Except the jailhouse key

—

[D]Don’t ease, don’t ease

Don’t ease me [A]in

I’ve been all night long coming home

Don’t ease me [D]in

—

I was walking down Main

Deep Ellem too

And all the women down there

They got the Texas blues

—

[D]Don’t ease, don’t ease

Don’t ease me [A]in

I’ve been all night long coming home

Don’t ease me [D]in
