This song is a cover from some guy named Noah Lewis, a blues songwriter from the early 1900s. And not every verse of the song was included here, which is why Viola Lee is never mentioned. Perhaps she's the wife of this guy. Regardless, the music is great here, on my favorites by Grateful Dead. The jam doesn't feel too long or boring either. And I love the way they sing the last word in each line. I'm annoyed I didn't know this song sooner.
