Lyrics Ruben and Cherise - Jerry Garcia Band
Grateful
Dead
Reuben
& Cherise
Cherise
was
brushing
her
long
hair
gently
down
It
was
the
afternoon
of
carnival
as
she
brushes
it
gently
down
Rubin
was
strumming
his
painted
mandolin
It
was
inlaid
with
a
pretty
face
in
jade
played
in
the
carnival
parade
Cherise
was
dressing
as
Pirouette
in
white
When
a
fatal
vision
gripped
her
tight
Cherise
beware
tonight
Rubin,
Rubin
tell
me
truly
true
I
feel
afraid
and
I
don't
know
why
I
do,
Is
there
another
girl
for
you?
If
you
could
see
my
heart
you
would
know
it's
true
There's
none
Cherise,
except
for
you,
except
for
you
I'd
swear
to
it
on
my
very
soul,
If
I
lie,
say
I
fall
down
cold
When
Rubin
played
on
his
painted
mandolin
The
breeze
would
pause
to
listen
in
before
going
on
its
way
again
Masquerade
began
when
nightfall
finally
woke
Like
waves
against
the
bandstand,
dancers
broke
to
the
painted
mandolin
Looking
out
to
the
crowd
who
is
standing
there
Sweet
Ruby
Claire
at
Rubin
stared,
at
Rubin
stared
She
was
dressed
as
Pirouette
in
red
And
her
hair
hung
gently
down
The
crowd
pressed
round,
Ruby
stood
as
though
alone
Rubin's
song
took
on
a
different
tone
and
he
played
it
just
for
her
The
song
he
played
was
the
carnival
parade
Each
note
cut
a
thread
of
Cherise's
fate
it
cut
through
like
a
blade
Rubin
was
playing
his
painted
mandolin
When
Ruby
froze
and
turned
to
stone
for
the
strings
played
all
alone
The
voice
of
Cherise
from
the
face
of
the
mandolin
Singing
Rubin,
Rubin
tell
me
true
for
I
have
no
one
but
you
If
you
could
see
my
heart
you
would
know
it
true
There's
none
Cherise,
except
for
you,
except
for
you
I'd
swear
to
it
on
my
very
soul,
If
I
lie,
say
I
fall
down
cold
The
truth
of
love
an
unsung
song
must
tell
The
course
of
love
must
follow
blind
without
a
look
behind
Rubin
walked
the
streets
of
New
Orleans
till
dawn
Cherise
so
lightly
in
his
arms
and
her
hair
hung
gently
down
