Escrita por
Bonnie Dobson, foi lançado inicialmente por ela em 1962, mas a
versão que escolhemos e a que ficou mais famosa, foi do Grateful
Dead, de 1967.
A canção é
um diálogo entre o último homem e a última mulher que ficaram
vivos na terra após uma catástrofe apocaliptica. Foi escrita em
1961 enquanto Dobson estava em Lo Angeles na casa de uma amiga. Todos
falavam sobre o dia seguinte da uma guerra nuclear e ela foi pra cama
e escreveu essa canção. Ela nunca havia escrito nenhuma canção
até aquele momento.
Fred Neil
então gravou-a em 1964. Tim Rose gravou-a então em 1967. A nossa
versão, do Grateful Dead, chegou ao número 17 na Irlanda. Lulu
gravaria sua versão em 1967 também.
Foi
regravada também por Jeff Beck, Duane and Greg Allman, Nazareth,
Robert Plant, entre outros artistas.
A letra:
Walk me out in
the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.
I thought I heard a baby cry this morning,
I thought I heard a baby cry this today.
You didn't hear no baby cry this morning,
You didn't hear no baby cry today.
Where have all the people gone my honey,
Where have all the people gone today.
There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people,
You never see those people anyway.
I thought I heard a young man morn this morning,
I thought I heard a young man morn today.
I thought I heard a young man morn this morning,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.
Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I'll walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I guess it doesn't really matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
Guess it doesn't matter anyway.
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.
I thought I heard a baby cry this morning,
I thought I heard a baby cry this today.
You didn't hear no baby cry this morning,
You didn't hear no baby cry today.
Where have all the people gone my honey,
Where have all the people gone today.
There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people,
You never see those people anyway.
I thought I heard a young man morn this morning,
I thought I heard a young man morn today.
I thought I heard a young man morn this morning,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.
Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I'll walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I guess it doesn't really matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
Guess it doesn't matter anyway.
