    Traditional (Freddie Hart)

    You sit there a-crying, crying in your beer
    You say you got trouble, my friend listen here
    Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own
    Be thankful you're living, drink up and go home

    Now there stands a blind man, so blind he can't see
    Do you think he's complaining, why should you and me?
    Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own
    Be thankful you're living, drink up and go home

    This was played once by the Dead, in an acoustic set in August 1970. Garcia sang only these two verses.

Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own
Be thankful you're living, drink up and go home

Now there stands a blind man, so blind he can't see
Do you think he's complaining, why should you and me?
Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own
Be thankful you're living, drink up and go home
