Bob Dylan

Well, that midnight train pulled on all down the track You’re standing there watching, with your hands folded behind your back And you smile so pretty, and nod to the prison guard Well, i know you want my loving, mama but you’re so hard

Sixteen years Sixteen banners united over the field Where the good shepherd grieves Desperate men, desperate women divided Spreading their wings ‘neath the falling leaves Fortune calls I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down She’s smelling sweet like the meadows where she…

I didn’t mean to treat you so bad You shouldn’t take it so personal I didn’t mean to make you so sad You just happened to be there, that’s all When i saw you say goodbye to your friend and smile I thought that it was well understood That you’d be comin’ back in a…

Farewell angelina The bells on the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles And the music plays slow But farewell angelina The night is on fire And i must go There is use in talking And there’s no need for blame There is nothing to prove Everything still…

Oh, help me in my weakness I heard the drifter say As they carried him from the courtroom And were taking him away “my trip hasn’t been a pleasant one And my time it isn’t long And i still do not know What it was that i’ve done wrong. Well, the judge he cast his…

Well, frankie lee and judas priest They were the best of friends So when frankie lee needed money one day Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens And placed them on a footstool Just above the plotted plain Sayin’, “take your pick, frankie boy My loss will be your gain” Well, frankie lee, he…

Oh all the money that in my whole life i did spend Be it mine right or wrongfully I let it slip gladly past the hands of my friends To tie up the time most forcefully But the bottles are done We’ve killed each one And the table’s full and overflowed And the corner sign…

I’ll remember you When i’ve forgotten all the rest, You to me were true, You to me were the best. When there is no more, You cut to the core Quicker than anyone i knew. When i’m all alone In the great unknown, I’ll remember you. I’ll remember you At the end of the trail,…

Fat man looking in a blade of steel Thin man looking at his last meal Hollow man looking in a cotton field For dignity Wise man looking in a blade of grass Young man looking in the shadows that pass Poor man looking through painted glass For dignity Somebody got murdered on new year’s eve…

Come gather ’round, people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth saving Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone For the times, they are a-changin’ Come writers and…

I dreamed i saw st. augustine, Alive as you or me, Tearing through these quarters In the utmost misery, With a blanket underneath his arm And a coat of solid gold, Searching for the very souls Whom already have been sold. “arise, arise,” he cried so loud, In a voice without restraint, “come out, ye…

I could have told you She’d hurt you She’d love you a while Then desert you If only you’d asked I could have told you so I could have saved you Some crying Yes, i could have told you she’s lying But you were in love And didn’t want to know I hear her now…

If you find it in your heart, can i be forgiven ? Guess i owe you some kind of apology I’ve escaped death so many times, i know i’m only living By the saving grace that’s over me. By this time i’d-a thought i would be sleeping In a pine box for all eternity My…

Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Lay down the song you strum, And rest yourself ‘neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum. Struck by the sounds before the sun, I knew the night had gone. The morning breeze like a bugle blew Against the drums of dawn. Lay down your…
