This is my favorite Dead tune.
floppywoknoodle is right, Purley Baker is indeed a double entendre. Rev Purley Baker was head of the anti-saloon league in the days of prohibition.
Jerry Garcia did a charcoal artwork entitled "August West:" http://arts.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/garciawharfrat.jpg
The image is as haunting as the song itself.
