Lyrics for Song: Yellow Ledbetter
Lyrics for Album: Lost Dogs: B-Sides and Rarities
"Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, 'I wanna leave it again'
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah
On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away, yeah
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason, oughta' leave her calm, I know
I said, 'I know what I wear, not a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah
And I know and I know I don't want to stay
Make me cry
I see, ooh...I don't know why there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said, I don't, I don't know a-where there's a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah, can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah
And I know, and I know, I don't wanna stay alone
I don't wanna stay
I don't, don't wanna

Yellow Ledbetter
Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter" stands as a defining track from the band's early career, originally released on the 1992 compilation album *Lost Dogs: B-Sides and Rarities*. The song exemplifies the grunge genre's raw energy and introspective lyricism, featuring Eddie Vedder's distinctive vocal delivery and the band's signature blend of melodic guitar work and heavy distortion. While often associated with their debut album *Ten*, this recording highlights the group's evolving sound and their ability to craft emotionally resonant material that resonated deeply with audiences during the mid-1990s. It remains a staple of their discography, showcasing the collaborative spirit of the Seattle-based rock group and their enduring influence on alternative music. |
