Lyrics Ship of Fools (Live at University of Nevada, Reno, NV - 5/12/74) - Grateful Dead
Went
to
see
the
captain
Strangest
I
could
find
Laid
my
proposition
down
I
laid
it
on
the
line
I
won't
slave
for
beggar's
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
believed
you
Now
I
cannot
share
your
laughter
Ship
of
fools
Saw
you
first
ship
sink
and
drown
From
rockin'
of
the
boat
And
all
that
could
not
sink
or
swim
Was
just
left
there
to
float
I
won't
leave
you
drifting
down
But,
whoa,
it
makes
me
wild
With
thirty
years
upon
my
head
To
have
you
call
me
child
Ship
of
fools
On
a
cruel
sea
Ship
of
fools
Sail
away
from
me
It
was
later
than
I
thought
When
I
first
believed
you
Now
I
cannot
share
your
laughter
Ship
of
fools
The
bottles
stand
as
empty
As
they
were
filled
before
And
time
that
was
in
plenty
But
from
that
cup
no
more
Though
I
would
not
caution
all
I
still
might
warn
a
few
Don't
lend
your
hand
to
raise
no
flag
Atop
no
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
believed
you
Now
I
cannot
share
your
laughter
Ship
of
fools
It
was
later
than
I
thought
When
I
first
believed
you
Now
I
cannot
share
your
laughter
Ship
of
fools
