Tweedle Dee And Tweedle Dum Words and music by Bob Dylan 2. Mississippi Words and music by Bob Dylan Every step of the way, we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is piling up, we struggle and we ????? We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape City's just a jungle, more games to play Trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away I was raised in the country, I been working in the town I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down Got nothing for you, I had nothing before Don't even have anything for myself anymore Sky full of fire, Pain pouring down Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well, the devil's in the alley, mule's in the stall Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all I was thinking about the things that Rosie said I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees Feeling like a stranger nobody sees So many things that we never will undo I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too Some people will offer you their hand and some won't Last night I knew you, tonight I don't I need something strong to distract my mind I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind Well I got here following the southern star I crossed that river just to be where you are Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there Everybody's got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now My clothes are wet, tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in I know that fortune is waiting to be kind So give me your hand and say you'll be mine Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long (Sheryl Crow version) Every step of the way We walk the line Your hours are numbered So are mine Time is piling up We struggle and we yearn All boxed in the barn that soon will be burned I was raised in the country then followed you down been in trouble since we came to this town I ain't got nothing for you I had nothing before Don't even have anything For myself anymore Skull's full of fire But I don't pray for rain There's nothing you can sell me except for your pain All my powers of expression And thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice Reason or rhyme There's only one thing that I did wrong I stayed in Mississippi a day too long Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees Feel like a stranger nobody sees So many things we never will undo I know you're sorry, well I'm sorry too Some people will offer you their hand and some won't Last night they knew us, tonight they don't I need something strong to distract my mind I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind Well we got here, following the southern star We crossed that river just to be where we will die There's only one thing that we did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long The emptiness is endless, cold as clay You think you can always come back, but not all the way Well there's only one thing that we did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long 3. Summer Days Words and music by Bob Dylan Summer days, summer nights are gone Summer days and summer nights are gone I know a place where there's still something going on I've got a house on the hill, I got hogs out in the mud I've got a house on the hill, I got hogs all out in the mud I've got a long haired woman, she got royal Indian blood Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing Well I'm standing on the table, I'm proposing a toast to the king I'm driving in the flats in a Cadillac car The girls all say you're a worn out star My pockets are loaded, and I'm spending every dime How can you say you love someone else, you know it's me all the time Well the fog's so thick you can't spy the land Well the fog's so thick you can't even spy the land what good are you anyway if you can't stand up to some old businessman Wedding bells are ringin' and the choir is beginning to sing Yes, the wedding bells are ringin' and the choir's beginning to sing What looks good in the day, at night is another thing She's looking in to my eyes, and she's holding my hand She looks in to my eyes, she's holding my hand she say "you can't repeat the past," i say "you can't? what do you mean you can't? of course you can." Where do you come from, where do you go Sorry, that is nothing you would need to know Well, my back's been to the wall so long it seems like stuck Why don't you brake my heart one more time, just for good luck I got eight carburators and boys I'm usin' 'em all well, I got eight carburators and boys I'm usin' 'em all I'm short on gas, my motor's startin' to stall My dogs are barking, there must be someone around My dogs are barking, there must be someone around i got my hammer ringin' pretty baby, but the nails ain't goin' down If you got something to say, speak or hold your peace Well, if you got something to say, speak or hold your peace If it's information you want, you can get it from the police politician's got on his joggin' shoes he must be runnin' for office, got no time to lose suckin' the blood out of the genius of generosity you been rollin' your eyes, you been teasin' me Standing by God's river my soul's beginning to shake Standing by God's river my soul's beginning to shake I'm countin' on you, love, to gimme a break I'm leaving in the morning, as soon as the dark clouds lift I'm leaving in the morning, as soon as the dark clouds lift _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ set fire to the place of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Summer days, summer nights are gone Summerdays and summer nights are gone I know a place where there's still something going on 4. By And By Words and music by Bob Dylan BY AND BY By and by, I'm breathin' a lover's sigh While I'm sittin' on my watch so I can be on time I'm singin' love's praises with sugar coated rhyme By and by, on you I'm castin' my eye I'm paintin' the town, swingin' my partner around Well I know who I can depend on, I know who to trust I'm watchin' the boats, I'm studyin' the dust I'm paintin' the town, makin' my last go-round While I'm scufflin' and I'm shufflin' and I'm walkin' on briars I'm not even aquainted with my old desires I'm rollin' slow, I'm doin' all I know I'm tellin' myself I've found true happiness That I still got a dream that hasn't been repossessed I'm rollin' slow goin' where the wild roses grow Well, the future for me is only a thing of the past You were my first love and you will be my last Papa gone mad, Mama she's feelin' sad Well, I'm gonna baptize you in fire so you can sin no more I wanna establish my rule through civil war Gonna make you see just how loyal and true a man can be 5. Lonesome Day Blues Words and music by Bob Dylan Well, today has been a sad and lonesome day Yeah, today has been a sad and lonesome day I'm just sitting here thinking with my mind a million miles away Well, they're doing the double shuffle, throwing sand on the floor They're doing the double shuffle, they're throwing sand on the floor When I left my longtime darling, she was standing in the door Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war My sister she ran off and got married, never was heard of anymore Samantha Brown lived in my house for 'bout four or five months Samantha Brown lived in my house for 'bout four or five months Don't know how it looked to other people, I never slept with her even once Well the road washed out, weather not fit for man or beast Well the road washed out, weather not fit for man or beast Funny, the things you have the hardest time parting with, are the things you need the least Well, I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into overdrive I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into overdrive Said my gal on the radio I wish my mother was still alive I seen your lover-man coming, coming across the barren fields I see your lover-man coming, coming across the barren fields He not a gentleman at all, he's rotten to the core, he's a coward and he's steel Well my captain he's decorated, he's well-schooled and he's skilled My captain he's decorated, he's well-schooled and he's skilled He's not sentimental, don't bother him at all; how many of his pals have been killed. Last night the wind was whispering, I was trying to make out what it was Last night the wind was whispering something, I was trying to make out what it was Yeh I tell myself something's coming, but it never does I'm going to spare the defeated, I'm going to speak to the crowd I'm going to spare the defeated, 'cause I'm going to speak to the crowd I'm going to teach peace to the conquered, I'm going to tame the proud Well, the leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off of the shelf Leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off the shelf You're gonna need my help sweetheart, you can't make love all by yourself. 6. Floater Words and music by Bob Dylan Down over the window From the dazzling sunlit place through the back alleys, through the blinds another one of the Memphis days Honey bees are buzzing leaves begin to stir I'm in love with my second cousin I tell myself I could be happy forever with her I keep listening for footsteps but I ain't never hearing any from the boat, I fish for bullheads I catch a lot, sometimes too many A summer breeze is blowin' a squall is setting in sometimes it's just plain stupid to get into any kind of wind Well the old men 'round here sometimes they get on bad terms with the younger men, old, young, age don't carry weight it doesn't matter in the end One of the boss' hangers-on Sometimes comes to call At times you least expect Tryin' to bully you, strongarm you, inspire you with fear It has the opposite effect There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town the other one is long gone 10 foot, 2 foot, 6 across Burns with the bark still on They say times are hard if you don't believe it you can follow your nose it don't bother me, times are hard anywhere we'll just have to see how it goes My old man, he's like some feudal lord he's got more lives than a cat I've never seen him quarrel with my mother even once things come alive or they fall flat You can smell the pine wood burnin' you can hear the school bell ring got to get up near the teacher, if you can if you wanna learn anything Romeo, he said to Juliet, you got a poor complexion it don't give you an appearance or a youthful touch Juliet said back to Romeo, why don't you just shove off, if it bothers you so much They got outta here any way they could Cold rain can give you the shivers they went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Genesee, all the rest of them rebel rivers If you ever try to interfere with me or cross my path again, you do so at the peril of your life I'm not quite as cool, or forgiving as I sound I've seen enough heartache and strife My grandfather was a duck trapper, he could do it with just dragnets and ropes (?) my grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth, I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes. I had 'em once, though I suppose To go along with all the ring dancing, Christmas carols and all the Christmas eves I left all my dreams and hopes buried under tobacco leaves Not always easy kicking someone up got to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task sometimes somebody wants you to give something up And tears or not, it's too much to ask 7. Highwater (For Charlie Patton) Words and music by Bob Dylan Highwater rising, rising night and day All the gold and silver are being stolen away Big Joe Turner looking east and west from the dark room of his mind He made it to Kansas City, Twelfth Street and Vine Nothing standing there Highwater everywhere Highwater rising the shacks are sliding down Folks lose their possessions, the folks are leaving town ?????? shook it, broke it, then she hung it on the wall Say you dance with whom they tell you to or you don't dance at all It's tough out there Highwater everywhere I got a craving love for blazing speed I got a hopped up Mustang Ford Jump into the wagon, love Throw your ???? on the board I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind I'm no pig(?) without a wig, I hope you treat me kind Things are breaking up out there Highwater everywhere Highwater rising, six inches above my head Coffins strutting(?) in the street like balloons made out of lead While I'm pulling into Vicksburg, don't know what I'm gonna do Don't reach out for me, she said, can't you see I'm drowning too It's rough out there Highwater everywhere Well, George Lewis told the Englishman, the Italian and the Jew You can't open up your mind, boys, to every conceivable point of view They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway 5 Judge says to the High Sheriff, I want them dead or alive Either one, I don't care Highwater everywhere Well, the coo coo is a pretty bird, she wobbles as she flies I'm preaching the word of God, I'm putting out your eyes I asked ???? for something to eat, she said take it off the shelf As ???? as you are a man, you'll never be ????? than yourself I told her I didn't really care Highwater everywhere I get up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my broom Keeping away from the women, I'm giving them lots of room Thunder rolling over Clarksdale, everything left(?) in blue(?) I just can't be happy, love, unless you're happy too It's bad out there Highwater everywhere 8. Moonlight Words and music by Bob Dylan Seasons they are turning and my sad heart is yearning To hear again the songbird's weep below his tow Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone The dusky light the day is losing Orchids, poppies, black eyed susie The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone The air is thick and heavy all along the levee Where the geese into the countryside have flown Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone Well, I'm preaching peace and harmony The blessings of tranquility Yet I know when the time is right to strike I take you 'cross the river, dear You no need to linger here I know the kinds of things you like The clouds are turning crimson, the leaves fall from the limbs and The branches cast their shadows over stone Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone The boulevards of cypress trees, the masquerade of birds and bees The petals blinking white, the wind has blown Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone The trailing moss in mystico, the purple blossom soft as snow My tears keep flowing to the sea Doctor, lawyer, indian chief, it takes a thief to catch a thief For whom does the bell toll for, love? It tolls for you and me Old pulses running through my palm, the sharp hills are rising from Yellow fields with twisted oaks that grow Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone 9. Honest With Me Words and music by Bob Dylan 10. Po' Boy Words and music by Bob Dylan Man came to the door, I say 'for whom were you lookin'?' Says 'your wife', I say 'she's busy in the kitchen cookin'' Po' boy, where you been? Already told you, won't tell you again I say 'how much you want for that, I'll go into the store' Man says 'three dollars' 'all right', I say, 'will you take four?' Po' boy, never say die Things will be all right, by and by Workin' like in a main line, workin' like the devil The game is the same it's just upon another level Po' boy, dressed in black Police at your back Po' boy in a red hot town Out beyond the twinklin' stars Ridin' first class train Makin' the rounds Try to keep from fallin' between the cars Othello told Desdemona "I'm cold, cover me with a blanket" "By the way, what happened to that poisoned wine?" She said "I gave it to you, you drank it" Po' boy, layin' 'em straight Pickin' up the cherries fallin' off the plate Time and love has branded me with its claws Had to go to Florida, dodgin' them Georgia laws Po' boy in the hotel called the Palace of Bloom Called down to room service, says 'send up the moon' My mother was the daughter of a wealthy farmer My father was a traveling salesman, I never met him When my mother died my uncle took me in to run a funeral parlor He did a lot of nice things for me and I won't forget 'em All I know is that I'm thrilled by your kiss I don't know any more than this Po' boy, pickin' up sticks Build you a house out of mortar and bricks Knockin' on the door, I say 'who is it, where you from?' Man say 'Freddie', I say 'Freddie who?' He say 'Freddie or not, here I come' Po' boy 'neath the stars that shine Washin' them dishes, feedin' them swine 11. Cry Awhile Words and music by Bob Dylan 12. Sugar Baby Words and music by Bob Dylan SUGAR BABY I've got my back to the sun 'cause the lie? is? too tame I can't see why? everybody in the world is on the game Can't come back, you can't come back, sometimes we push to far One day you open up your eyes and you see where you are Sugar baby get on down the road, you ain't got no brains nohow You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now Some of these bootleggers, they make pretty good stuff. Plenty of places to hide things if you want to hide them bad enough. I'm staying with Aunt Sally, but you know she's not really my Aunt. Some of these memories, you can learn to live with and some of them you can't Sugar baby get on down the line, you ain't got no brains nohow You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now Loveladies down in dark town, they're doin' the dark town stroll Allways got to be prepared for, you never know for what There ain't no limit to the amount of troubles women bring Love is easy, love is teasing, love's not an evil thing Sugar baby get on down the road, you ain't got no brains nohow You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now Every moment of existency life's some ? ? Happiness ? comes suddenly and leaves you? ? ? Any minut of the day, above up in ? , tryin' to make things better For someone, sometimes you just end up makin' it thousand times worse Sugar baby get on down the road, you ain't got no brains nohow You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now Your charms have broken many a heart and mine is surely one You got a way of tearin' the world apart, you loves the one you love Just as sure as we're livin' , just as sure as you're born Look up, look up, see your maker, foregives the? useless ? Sugar baby, get on down the line, you ain't got no sense for her? You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now |
