The Grateful Dead - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
He's crying like a fire in the sun
★ Chorus ★
Look out, all those saints are coming through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
★ Verse 2 ★
The highway is for gamblers, you better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
★ Chorus ★
The sky, too, is moving over you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
★ Instrumental Break ★
★ Verse 3 ★
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
All your empty-handed armies are all going home
Your lover who has just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from your floor
★ Chorus ★
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
★ Verse 4 ★
Leave your stepping stones behind, there's something calls for you
Forget about the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
★ Chorus ★
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
★ Outro ★
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Thank you all, good night

Biography
Over the years the Dead released 22 recorded albums, although they were most famous for their improvisational jams at concerts, earning them a cult-like following of self-proclaimed “Dead Heads” who would follow the band from concert-to-concert throughout the band’s career.
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and they’ve sold more than 40 million albums in total; all that with only one top 40 hit (“Truckin”), and one Top 10 hit (“Touch of Grey”) that came near the end of the band’s run, shortly before Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. Grateful Dead was also ranked 57th in Rolling Stone’s “The Greatest Artists of All Time” issue in 2004 and 2005. Since then, various incarnations of the Dead have continued to tour, although a 2015 farewell tour was said to be the band’s last.
In 2015 Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann started a new group called Dead and Company with John Mayer, Allman Brothers bassist Oteil Burbridge, and former Dead keyboardist Jeff Chimenti which Weir has said may have a future in the studio and will continue to tour in coming years.
In 2008, The Grateful Dead named the University of California, Santa Cruz McHenry Library as the home of their complete archival history, including their recorded music, live bootlegs, and artworks. The collections are are now housed at UC Santa Cruz.
