Beyond Here Lies Nothin’

I love you pretty baby You're the only love I've ever known Just as long as you stay with me The whole world is my throne Beyond here lies nothin' Nothin' we can call our own I'm movin' after midnight Down boulevards of broken cars Don't know what I'd do without it Without this love that we call ours Beyond here lies nothin' Nothin' but the moon and stars Down every street there's a window...

Trouble

Trouble in the city, trouble in the farm You got your rabbit’s foot, you got your good-luck charm But they can’t help you none when there’s trouble Trouble Trouble, trouble, trouble Nothin’ but trouble Trouble in the water, trouble in the air Go all the way to the other side of the world, you’ll find trouble there Revolution even ain’t no solution for trouble Trouble Trouble, trouble, trouble Nothin’ but trouble Drought and starvation, packaging...

Black Diamond Bay

Up on the white veranda She wears a necktie and a Panama hat Her passport shows a face From another time and place She looks nothin’ like that And all the remnants of her recent past Are scattered in the wild wind She walks across the marble floor Where a voice from the gambling room is callin’ her to come on in She smiles, walks the other way As the last ship sails and the...

Boots of Spanish Leather

Oh, I’m sailin’ away my own true love I’m sailin’ away in the morning Is there something I can send you from across the sea From the place that I’ll be landing?

Union Sundown

Well, my shoes, they come from Singapore My flashlight’s from Taiwan My tablecloth’s from Malaysia My belt buckle’s from the Amazon You know, this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines And the car I drive is a Chevrolet It was put together down in Argentina By a guy makin’ thirty cents a day Well, it’s sundown on the union And what’s made in the U.S.A. Sure was a good idea ’Til greed got in...

Up to Me

Everything went from bad to worse, money never changed a thing Death kept followin’, trackin’ us down, at least I heard your bluebird sing Now somebody’s got to show their hand, time is an enemy I know you’re long gone, I guess it must be up to me If I’d thought about it I never would’ve done it, I guess I would’ve let it slide If I’d lived my life by what others were thinkin’,...

Someone’s Got a Hold of My Heart

They say, “Eat, drink and be merry" "Take the bull by the horns” I keep seeing visions of you, a lily among thorns Everything looks a little far away to me Gettin’ harder and harder to recognize the trap Too much information about nothin’ Too much educated rap It’s just like you told me, just like you said it would be The moon rising like wildfire I feel the breath of a storm Something I...

Baby, I’m in the Mood for You

Sometimes I’m in the mood, I wanna leave my lonesome home And sometimes I’m in the mood, I wanna hear my milk cow moan And sometimes I’m in the mood, I wanna hit that highway road But then again, but then again, I said oh, I said oh, I said Oh babe, I’m in the mood for you Sometimes I’m in the mood, Lord, I had my overflowin’ fill Sometimes I’m in the mood, I’m...

I and I

Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives Think I’ll...

Outlaw Blues

Ain’t it hard to stumble And land in some funny lagoon? Ain’t it hard to stumble And land in some muddy lagoon? Especially when it’s nine below zero And three o’clock in the afternoon.

The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead; I just need some place where I can lay my head. "Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said. Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free; Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me. I picked...

Narrow Way

I’m gonna walk across the desert ‘til I’m in my right mind I won’t even think about what I left behind Nothin' back there anyway I can call my own Go back home, leave me alone It’s a long road, it’s a long and narrow way If I can’t work up to you You’ll have to work down to me someday Ever since the British burned the white house down There’s a bleeding wound...

Bob Dylan’s Dream

While riding on a train goin’ west I fell asleep for to take my rest I dreamed a dream that made me sad Concerning myself and the first few friends I had With half-damp eyes I stared to the room Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon Where we together weathered many a storm Laughin’ and singin’ till the early hours of the morn By the old wooden stove where our hats was...

Neighborhood Bully

Well, the neighborhood bully, he’s just one man His enemies say he’s on their land They got him outnumbered about a million to one He got no place to escape to, no place to run He’s the neighborhood bully The neighborhood bully just lives to survive He’s criticized and condemned for being alive He’s not supposed to fight back, he’s supposed to have thick skin He’s supposed to lay down and die when his door...

Rollin’ and Tumblin’

I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long Woke up this mornin', I must have bet my money wrong I got troubles so hard, I can't stand the strain I got troubles so hard, I just can't stand the strain Some young lazy slut has charmed away my brains The landscape is glowin', gleamin' in the golden light of day The...

Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts

The festival was over, the boys were all plannin’ for a fall The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin’ in the wall The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin’ wheel shut down Anyone with any sense had already left town He was standin’ in the doorway lookin’ like the Jack of Hearts He moved across the mirrored room, “Set it up for everyone,” he said Then everyone commenced to do what they were...

Isis

I married Isis on the fifth day of May But I could not hold on to her very long So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong I came to a high place of darkness and light The dividing line ran through the center of town I hitched up my pony to a post on the right Went in to a...

Slow Train

Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted Can’t help but wonder what’s happenin’ to my companions Are they lost or are they found Have they counted the cost it’ll take to bring down All their earthly principles they’re gonna have to abandon? There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend I had a woman down in Alabama She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic She said, “Boy, without a doubt...

Man Gave Names to All the Animals

Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal that liked to growl Big furry paws and he liked to howl Great big furry back and furry hair “Ah, think I’ll call it a bear” Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the...

Lazy stadium night Catfish on the mound “Strike three,” the umpire said Batter have to go back and sit down Catfish, million-dollar-man Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can Used to work on Mr. Finley’s farm But the old man wouldn’t pay So he packed his glove and took his arm An’ one day he just ran away Catfish, million-dollar-man Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can Come up where the Yankees are...

Foot of Pride

Like the lion tears the flesh off of a man So can a woman who passes herself off as a male They sang “Danny Boy” at his funeral and the Lord’s Prayer Preacher talking ’bout Christ betrayed It’s like the earth just opened and swallowed him up He reached too high, was thrown back to the ground You know what they say about bein’ nice to the right people on the way up Sooner or...

Mississippi

Honest with Me

Well, I’m stranded in the city that never sleeps Some of these women they just give me the creeps I’m avoidin’ the Southside the best I can These memories I got, they can strangle a man Well, I came ashore in the dead of the night Lot of things can get in the way when you’re tryin’ to do what’s right You don’t understand it—my feelings for you You’d be honest with me if only...

With God on Our Side

Oh my name it is nothin’ My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I’s taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that the land that I live in Has God on its side Oh the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Oh the country was young With God on its...
