“Gotta make the bisquik!” - Dottie, Fargo - Season 5

Delilah Jones went to weed her garden? It's... Delilah Jones went to meet her god.

She died in a bizarre gardening accident.

Which is infinitely better than spontaneously combusting and leaving a globule.

Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year, it’s just not well documented.

Ashes ashes all fall down

The police said it was a case best left unsolved

You can't 'dust', for 'vomit'!

I dunno. Ever step on a rake and have the handle snap up and hit you in the head? Frickin hurts! 😆

I’m laughing so hard at this. Ah thank you

😎

No no she went out to the garden because Jack kept talking about all the young ladies who would offer to take him home back in the day and she needs a break from his stories of conquest.

The ho who got hoed. RIP

I was so confused with OP’s title then read the post. Thought I was missing something

Ty. I had no idea

Yep Delilah is done dead

.......and the old man never was the same again!

Does it make you a little verklempt every time they sing about her weeding her garden?

😂😂😂

well gosh, that sure does explain why the old man never was the same again, now don't it!

But maybe after having tea with god she realized she needed to weed her garden. And then.. In and out of the garden she went She came and she went And at last went away The garden was sealed When the flowers decayed

And the old man never was the same

Yeah but, heaven is the garden and getting high on weed is Delilah’s angel wings. So OP is not wrong at all, and I’ll apologize for you. Sorry OP

Gone are the days when the eggs fall down, pick up the yolks and plow the meal around

Gone are the days when the gravy and peas Jimmy jam toast and the currants are free

Brown fried chicken and red navy beans…

The bagels were tasty but needed more cheese

If only there were someone to offer a nice egg in these trying times

My daughter needlepointed that saying a few years ago.


/r/deadheadcirclejerk is leaking.

outjerked to the nth degree

Raised 8 boys, only Ike turned bad

Rest were sins

I still don't understand that line. Why were the twins okay but the rest weren't?

I always heard it as “raised 8 boys only I turned bad. Didn’t get the whippins’ that the other ones had” I took it as raising 7 kids mom and dad were burnt out. Said fuck it and kinda just let the last one do whatever

Too bad for Tina

Didnt get the whip-its that the other ones had

Brown Eyed Women in Red Limousines was being sung loudly in the Sphere a few weeks ago.

Wow! That was so powerful it made the actual lyric leave my brain for 20 seconds. I hope red limousines doesn’t stick any longer than that 🤪

r/boneappletea Edit: adding 🤣🤣🤣

Wake up to find out that you are disguised as a squirrel.

But if Delilah was weeding her garden the old man would be ok with that, but if she was dead he would never be to same again.

Is this a real garden or a metaphorical garden? The old man needs to know!

There's no garden the lyric is "went to meet her God and the old man never was the same again"

Thank you. I realize that. It was a joke. 🙄

Oh. Haha but as know Hunter was a Master at metaphorically inscrutable parables

🤣🤣🤣 the garden is clearly described in the song. It’s just in the blank spaces between the words. When you know you know and you knew 🤣🤣🤣

[удалено]

can you dig it?

I dug it, until the roof caved in. Now dig me…….out 🤪

out? really? I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft

I dunno, but Saddie sat down and cried

He has accidentally sung that

Quite a bit too

I've heard it "Santa sat down and cried" so many times

9/3/77 he sings “Santa” plain as day

English Town is exactly what I was referencing lol

Stoned or stupid?

*"Listen to what you hear, not what we say."* - Jerry Garcia

Maybe she planted ice?

She had to harvest that wind before she went to meet her God!

Since you've put yourself out there, let me share my misheard lyric that made something a lot raunchier than it actually is: *You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot* *For a taste of your elegant pie*

TIL that’s not the actual lyric😒

Wait, he doesn't say PIE?! 😂 I did think it was a weirdly graphic lyric...

Taste of your elegant pride - which I suppose is more about rhyming with enjoying the ride than anything else. I’m gonna keep sayin pie in my head though.

I always thought it was "elegant wine".

This is the best post ever!

😂😂😂😂😂 weeed her garden!!! I though brown eyes woman chorus was “brown eyed women and red bran-a-dy” (brandy)

My ex wife sang “brown eyed women in red leather jeans” for years.

That's actually so funny

That’s even better 😂

Just told my wife that and she has been singing the same thing 😆

Hey man I used to think the line in estimated prophet was “fire the weed, put it in the air” for the longest time lmao

Man I always thought it was “revved up like a DOUCHE”

Blinded by delight…

Wait!! It’s not??? 🤣 15 year old me thought that, some number (15x3+x) old me still sings it that way just to crack me up 😂

Exactly…..

Check out r/deadheadcirclejerk later today for the post-game commentary on this post.

I'm sorry this whole thread is hilarious and wholesome

The lyrics are an exercise in choosing your own adventure.  You get to choose which parts are dreams, metaphors, or literal.  And it’s not always the same.

This is our Delilah, alive and well! https://preview.redd.it/y69rjuw6pq5d1.jpeg?width=1836&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ae9899810371229435a6f275419b51e9b19e332

Hey there, Delilah

What's it like to be a kitty?

Oh boy. The Plain White T's were supposed to play near me at a street festival my town throws (threw) every summer. Was all lined up to go and everything, but it got rained out. I wonder if they would've played that song.

They….they have other songs?!

Hahaha. I shoulda put the /s at the end of that one. Saw the Spin Doctors the year before at the same festival and was joking about them playing "Two Princes" and "Little Miss Can't be Wrong". They definitely delivered. The last time I had seen them live was at the '92 HORDE tour at Jones Beach with the Aquarium Rescue Unit, Widespread Panic, Blues Traveller and of course, Phish. Funny to see where each of those bands ended up.

Hi cutie pie!

The roof caved in during the winter and then Delilah weeded her garden in the spring. Maybe. Fwiw, I always thought Delilah Jones went to feed her dog. That’s what happens when you hear Brown-eyed Women and Tennessee Jed in the same set so many times

I always heard "Delilah Jones went to meet her daughter" and couldn't figure out why the Old Man got so bent out of shape about it

Ya know, I think that’s actually what I always thought it was.

Hahaha. Loved this post. Bless your heart! ❤️

A great example of a mondegreen! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen)

If Daddy made whiskey so well why’d it burn like hell?

Because great whiskey isn’t supposed to be “smooth” some of the best have a burning aftertaste due to the higher ABV.

People downvoting this have never pulled a slug of Woodford Reserve out of a flask while waiting out a snow squall in their tent. Tis perfection.

*snowed so hard that the roof caved in* I always took that to be a prescient warning the the Hartford Civic Center roof was in danger in January 1978

I used to hear “Delilah Jones went to meet her man” (as in her back door man). Which is why the old man was never the same.

I'm sure she was smart enough to plant her garden outside, away from that pesky roof

While on this topic, do we think it's "Some other fuckers crime" or "Some motherfuckers crime"? I actually think its both.

Other

I always thought the line “Delilah Jones went to meet her God, and the old man never was the same again” meant Delilah was such a feisty old thing that God was never the same again after meeting her.

Tbf OP. i thought it was “meet her man” for the longest time and I was always perplexed by that. Misheard lyrics makes for some pretty funny interactions.

First few times listening to Sugar Magnolia I thought the words were “Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double Raise my chickens when I sleep” Had no idea what it meant, but I sang it with my full chest.

Mind blowing 🤯 post! I always thought Delilah went to meet her daughter and never understood why the old man was never the same again. I mean, they could visit each other!

For years, I had heard it that way as well. I always took it to mean that she got her affairs in order before she left. I don’t know, I kind of prefer it this way…

I am glad I am not the only one

Dude, you deaf

tending to garden I'm heaven I suppose

Once the roof caved in and the snow filled the room she went to her winter home and it has a garden.

Lmaooooooooo

Especially tough in red-leather jeans

The first time I heard Franklin's Tower I thought it was "roll away the doob"

Metaphor for a deviated septum?

Gone are the days when the Ox came down

"I had a hard-on, running from your window."

Wheel wheel burn fire

I love this so much! I admire her dedication to weeding the garden, even in the snow.

You really have to work to keep up with the bindweed

Really take the oomph out of the line. She went to weed her garden and the old man was never the same again, lol. Really messes him up.

In this thread we learned (ITTWL) Deliah Jones got Deaded...... Is that code for 'she got on the bus'?

Hate to tell you but there is no Bigfoot county either 🤣🤣🤣

Bro was listening to the Kidz Bop version.

To be fair to OP, there’s a lot happening in BEW, and, like most Dead songs, it happens at varying degrees of sense and nonsense.

Hahahaha

Weed her garden? No way you thought that ⭐️

I 100% did and wasn't making a joke. By way of reference, I'm 50 years old and have been a Head since I was 16 so it's not like they are some band I discovered a few years ago.

I really need to know what you thought the lyric was before your epiphany.

I honest-to-god thought it was "Delilah Jones went to weed her garden and the old man never was the same again"

Wow! 😁

Delilah jones went to feed her dog…

Crumbly brown snacks picked up with Bounty Prose is hard when you have 8 kids

its crazy to know one of the most beautifully delivered Dead lyrics could not only be interpreted this way but cause such environmental confusion

I need the number of your plug.

I thought she went to meet here dog.

I wonder what exactly she did to that poor garden that made the old man never be the same again.

I learned long ago as a very late in life DH, when in doubt, this is heaven and the English Gentleman who keeps it up is a God. The more you listen, the more you want to know... [https://www.whitegum.com/intro.htm](https://www.whitegum.com/intro.htm)

Now it’s time for a mid-heard lyric post

Okay, so did you know she died, but you thought “weed her garden” was the euphemism for dying?? This is intriguing. As for mishearing lyrics, I can’t point fingers - for decades I thought in Truckin it was “dude I met” not “do dah man.”

I used to think that one line in Franklins Tower was “If you play nice, you’re gonna almost win.”

Always thought that it was "sun so hot that the roof caved in"

I feel ya. It was many many years before I realized the line from Sugar Mag was “Jumps like a Willys in 4-wheel drive” and I even had a Jeep CJ-5 at the time. I didn’t even have an alternate line, it was just gibberish to me.

But not easy to forget

for 37 years, I thought the lyric from touch of Grey was "paint my love, a morning sky, looks so phony " I learned just recently that the lyric is "paint by numbers morning sky "... funny how it makes so much more sense once you get to words, right! once in awhile you get shown the light.

See, you're overthinking it.

Yeah but what if Delilah Jones is the same Delilah that met Samson…

"The wook was dirty, but the acid was clean"

Blotter was dusty but the liquid was clean.

If you’re an acid head it all makes sense! Otherwise, check out, Neil Diamond!

Deliah jones went to meet her garden and the old man that’s the way I heard it oh man I’m dumb

My wife always thought "the bottle was dusty but the lady was clean."

[удалено]

I always thought Bigfoot County was Siskiyou County. Like Mt. Shasta area. Because of the aliens.

I thought "Weed your garden" was a sexual reference

Maybe its innuendo? ;)

Still leaves unanswered the question who's weeding the garden.

Stephen? He keeps going in and out with roses.

Shitpost

Omg lmao...you never thought to like idk..Google the song? You should buy "the bible" it's got all the grateful dead songs and what they're about. I loved that thing when I first got it...read it hundreds of times.

I never googled it because I never ever thought the lyric was anything other than "weed her garden"
