Bye and bye, I'm breathin' a lover's sigh I'm sittin' on my watch so I can be on time I'm singin' love's praises with sugar-coated rhyme Bye and bye, on you I'm casting my eye I'm paintin' the town - swinging my partner around I know who I can depend on, I know who to trust I'm watchin' the roads, I'm studying the dust I'm paintin' the town, making my last go-round Well, I'm scufflin' and I'm shufflin' and I'm walkin' on briars I'm not even acquainted with my own desires I'm rollin' slow - I'm doing all I know I'm tellin' myself I found true happiness That I've 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 already a thing of the past You were my first love and you will be my last Papa gone mad, mamma, she's feeling sad I'm gonna baptize you in fire so you can sin no more I'm gonna establish my rule through civil war Gonna make you see just how loyal and true a man can be more free lyrics |

10. _ Floater (Too Much To Ask)
Down over the window Comes the dazzling sunlit rays Through the back alleys - through the blinds Another one of them endless days Honeybees are buzzin' Leaves begin to stir I'm in love with my second cousin I tell myself I could be happy forever with her I keep listenin' for footsteps But I ain't hearing any From the boat I fish for bullheads I catch a lot, sometimes too many A summer breeze is blowing A squall is settin' in Sometimes it's just plain stupid To get into any kind of wind The old men 'round here, sometimes they get On bad terms with the younger men But old, young, age don't carry weight It doesn't matter in the end One of the boss' hangers-on Comes to call at times you least expect Try to bully ya - strong arm you - inspire you with fear It has the opposite effect There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town The old one is long gone Timber two-foot six across Burns with the bark still on They say times are hard, if you don't believe it You can just follow your nose It don't bother me - times are hard everywhere We'll just have to see how it goes My old man, he's like some feudal lord Got more lives than a cat 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 Gotta get up near the teacher if you can If you wanna learn anything Romeo, he said to Juliet, "You got a poor complexion. It doesn't give your appearance a very youthful touch!" Juliet said back to Romeo, "Why don't you just shove off If it bothers you so much." They all got out of here any way they could The cold rain can give you the shivers They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee 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 own life I'm not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound I've seen enough heartaches 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 dancin' Christmas carols on all of the Christmas Eves I left all my dreams and hopes Buried under tobacco leaves It's not always easy kicking someone out Gotta wait a while - it can be an unpleasant task Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up And tears or not, it's too much to ask more free lyrics |

12. _ Highwater (for Charlie Patton)
Words and music by bob dylan
Highwater risin', 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
Nothin' standing there
Highwater everywhere
Highwater rising the shacks are sliding down
Folks lose their possessions, the folks are leaving town
Reformation shook it, broke it, then she hung it on the wall
Say you dancin' with whom they tell you to or you don't dance at all
It's tough out there
Highwater everywhere
I got a craven love for blazin' speed
I got a hopped up mustang ford
Jump into the wagon, love
Throw your panties overboard
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 breakin' up out there
Highwater everywhere
Highwater rising, six inches above my head
Coffins droppin' in the street like balloons made out of lead
Water poured 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 lewes 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 cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
I'm preachin' the word of god, i'm puttin' out your eyes
I asked fat nancy for someth'n' to eat, she said take it off the shelf
As great as you are man, you'll never be greater than yourself
I told her i didn't really care
Highwater everywhere
I get up in the mornin', i believe i'll dust my broom
Keepin' away from the women, i'm givin' them lots of room
Thunder rollin' over clarksdale, everythin' a-lookin' blue
I just can't be happy, love, unless you're happy too
It's bad out there

13. _ Cry Awhile
Words and music by bob dylan
Well, i had to go down to see a guy named mr. goldsmith
Nasty, dirty, double-crossin', back-stabbin' phony i didn't have to, want to have to deal with
But i did it for you and all you gave me was a smile
Well, i cried for you, now it's your turn to cry awhile
I don't carry dead weight, i'm no flash in the pan
All right, i'll set you straight, can't you see i'm a union man
I'm lettin' the cat out of the cage, i'm keepin' a low profile
Well, i cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Feel like a fightin' rooster, feel better than i ever felt
But the pennsylvania line's in an awful mess and the denver road is a-goin' to melt
I went to the church house, every day i go an extra mile
Well, i cry for you, now your turn, you can cry awhile
Last night, 'cross the alley, there was a poundin' on the wall
It must have been don pasquale makin' a 2 a.m. booty call
To break a trusting heart like mine was just your style
Well, i cried for you, now it's your turn to cry awhile
I'm on the fringes of the night fighting back my tears i can't control
Some people they ain't human, they ain't got no heart or soul
But i'm a-cryin' to the lord, tryin' to be meek and mild
Yes, i cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Well the preacher's in the pulpit and the babies in their cribs
I'm longin' for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs
I'm goin' t' buy me a barrel of whisky, i'll die before i turn senile
Yes, i cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile?
Well, you bet on the horses, they ran the wrong way
I always said you'd be sorry and that would be the day
I might need a good lawyer, could be your funeral, my trial
Well, i cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile

14. _ Moonlight
The seasons they are turnin' and my sad heart is yearnin' To hear again the songbird's sweet melodious tone Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone? The dusky light, the day is losing Orchids, poppies, black-eyed Susan 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 preachin' peace and harmony The blessings of tranquility Yet I know when the time is right to strike I'll take you 'cross the river dear You've no need to linger here I know the kinds of things you like The clouds are turnin' crimson The leaves fall from the limbs an' The branches cast their shadows over stone Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone? The boulevards of cypress trees The masquerades of birds and bees The petals, pink and white, the wind has blown Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone? The trailing moss and mystic glow Purple blossoms 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 My pulse is runnin' through my palm The sharp hills are rising from The yellow fields with twisted oaks that groan Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone? more free lyrics |
