This was one of the regular covers the Dead played in their live shows, and was always a focal point. The song was written by Canadian folk singer Bonnie Dobson, and portrays a post-nuclear, apocalyptic world (where nothing really matters anyway).
[Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
I thought I heard a baby cry this morning
I thought I heard a baby cry today
You didn't hear no baby cry this morning
You didn't hear no baby cry today
[Verse]
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
[Chorus 2]
I thought I heard a young man mourn this morning
I thought I heard a young man mourn today
I thought I heard a young man mourn this morning
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today
[Chorus 1]
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
[Outro]
I guess it doesn't matter anyway
I guess it doesn't matter anyway
Guess it doesn't matter anyway
