Can you identify this song from the 60's? Can't find on web. Always thought Grateful Dead or Butterfield.

Question

It starts: "I wrote a letter to the city. And I wrte it, down and dirty. I wrote a letter, to the city, yeahhh......

Answer 1

Although I was very much around at that time, I am not familiar with the song. I did type in Grateful Dead songs and got a whole list but none seemed to match. Also tried Butterfield songs--not as much. You might try this. Typing in various artists that might fit and see if you can come up with your answer. Good luck.
