The story behind the song

This song paints a vivid picture of a post-apocalyptic world, depicting a conversation between the last man and woman alive after a nuclear holocaust. The lyrics explore their interaction and feelings in the wake of virtual global annihilation. Originally a contemporary folk song, the Grateful Dead adapted it into an electric rock-ensemble arrangement for their debut album. Playing it can evoke the somber beauty and stark reflection of survival against impossible odds.
