[piano-one]

I came across this song on one of my father's old reel-to-reel tapes recorded around 1969-1970. No one I know has ever been able to identify it, and I have searched on dozens of lyrics sites on the internet - nobody has ever heard of it before.

I've been told that the style is much in the vein of Grateful Dead or early New Riders of the Purple Sage. The song itself is a slow ballad in a major key, but after the third verse it switches to a faster-tempo coda with a psychedelic guitar solo that fades out.

The very first person I saw
Told me that I was breakin' the law,
So I found it very hard to say
It's another day, another day;
Just another day, another day, yeah.

When she walked up to me and said,
I'd rather be with the joker instead;
The queen of hearts is already dead
From another day, another day;
Just another day, another day.

(Now the?) days are so hard to find,
Like the day when I lost my mind;
Like a man who had gone (stone?) blind
From another day, another day;
Just another day, another day, yeah.
