It was late last night when the boss came home
To a deserted mansion and a desolate throne
Servant said: “Boss, the lady’s gone
She left this morning just ‘fore dawn.”
“You got something to tell me, tell it to me, man
Come to the point as straight as you can”
“Old Henry Lee, chief of the clan

Of war and peace the truth just twists
Its curfew gull it glides
Upon four-legged forest clouds
The cowboy angel rides
With his candle lit into the sun
Though its glow is waxed in black
All except when neath the trees of Eden
The lamppost stands with folded arms
Its iron claws attached
To curbs neath holes where babies... |
Meet me in the morning, 56th and Wabasha
Meet me in the morning, 56th and Wabasha
Honey, we could be in Kansas
By time the snow begins to thaw
They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
But you wouldn’t know it by me
Every day’s been darkness since you been gon... |

Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin broken down
He looked for work and money
And he walked a ragged mile

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads Im standing at
Or maybe its the weather or something like that
But mama, youve been on my mind
I mean no trouble, please dont put me down, dont get upset

I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, b... |
Im gonna walk across the desert til Im in my right mind
I wont even think about what I left behind
Nothing back there anyway that I can call my own
Go back home, leave me alone
Its a long road, its a long and narrow way
If I cant work up to you, youll surely have to work down to me someday
Ever since the British burned... |
Every step of the way we walk the line
Your days are numbered, so are mine
Time is piling’ up, we struggle and we scrape
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

If not for you
Babe, I couldnt even find the door
I couldnt even see the floor
Id be sad and blue, if not for you
If not for you
Babe, the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
It would not be new, if not for you
If not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love Id be... |
I aint gonna work on Maggies Farm no more
No, I aint gonna work on Maggies Farm no more
Well, I wake up in the morning, fold my hands, and pray for rain

I got this graveyard woman, you know
She keeps my kids
But my soulful mama, you know
She keeps me hid
She’s a junkyard angel, and she
Always gives me bread
Well, if I go down dyin, you know
She bound to put a blanket on my bed
Well, when the pipeline gets broken
And Im lost on the river bridge
I’m all cracked up on the... |
There is a house down in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun.
And its been the ruin of many a-poor girl
And me—oh, God—Im one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time hes sa... |
Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Everybody’s got their heads bowed down
The sun don’t shine above the ground
I am a-going down to Oxford Town
He went down to Oxford Town
Guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown
Better get away from Oxford Town
Oxford Town around the bend
Come in to the door, he couldn’t ... |
While riding on a train going 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 hou... |
Sixteen years
Sixteen banners united over the fields
Where the good shepherd grieves
Desperate men, desperate women divided
Spreading their wings neath falling leaves
Fortune calls
I stepped forth from the shadows to the marketplace
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down
Shes smelling sweet lik... |
Im searching for phrases
To sing your praises
I need to tell someone
Its soon after midnight
And my day has just begun
A gal named Honey
Took my money
She was passing by
Its soon after midnight
And the moon is in my eye
My heart is cheerful
Its never fearful
Ive been down on the killing floors
Im in no great hurry

Ramona
Come closer
Shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
Will pass as your senses will rise
Oh the flowers of the city
Though breath-like
Get death-like at times
And there’s no use in trying
To deal with the dying
Though I cannot explain that in lines
Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
As t... |
All the early Roman Kings in their sharkskin suits
Bowties and buttons, high top boots
Driving the spikes in, blazing the rails
Nailed in their coffins in top hats and tails
Fly away little bird, fly away, flap your wings
Fly by night like the early Roman Kings
All the early Roman Kings in the early, early morn’

Clouds so swift, the rain falling in
Gonna see a movie called Gunga Din
Pack up your money, pull up your tent, McGuinn
You aint goin nowhere
Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrows the day that my brides a-gonna come
Ooh-wee, are we gonna fly
Down into the easy chair
Genghis Khan and his brother Don

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
But I dont sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee fore I go
To the valley below

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion now
I cant get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
All of them alone on the line
Dont know, what any others proof
No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us

All you need is love
Youre being ridiculous
All you need is love
Just one night, give me just one night
Theres no way cause you cant pay
In the name of love, one night in the name of love
You crazy fool, I wont give in to you
Its so easy, all you have to do is fall in love
Love hurts
All you have to do is play the game... |
Its been such a long, long time
Since we loved each other, when our hearts were true
One time, for one brief day
I was the man for you
Last night I heard you talking in your sleep
Saying things you shouldnt say, oh baby
You just may have to go to jail someday
Is there a place we can go?
Is there anybody we can see?

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
Im not the one you want, babe
Im not the one you need
You say youre looking for someone
Whos never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it aint me, babe
No, no, no, it aint me, ba... |
Når regnet slær i mot deg der du går
Og når du ikkje veit di arme råd
Da vil eg holde deg i tusen år
Fordi eg elskar deg
Når alle nattas stjerner viser seg
Og ingen er der for å trøste deg
Da vil du alltid ha ein heim hjå meg
Fordi eg elskar deg
Eg veit du ikkje har bestemt deg men
Eg lar deg ta den tid du vil

Well, your railroad gate
You know I just cant jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
I just sitting here, beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
Yes, I waited for you when you hated me

Oh, the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the hurricane begins
The hour that the ship comes in
And the sea will split
And the ships will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
Then the tide will sound
And the waves will ... |

And land in some funny lagoon?
Aint it hard to stumble

Twas down in Mississippi, not so long ago
When a young boy from Chicago town stepped through a Southern door
This boys dreadful tragedy I can still remember well
The color of his skin was black and his name was Emmett Till
Some men they dragged him to a barn and there they beat him up
They said they had a reason, but I... |

And then shes all too tight
In my neighbourhood
She cries both day and night
I know it because it was there
Its a milestone
But she down on her luck
And she daily so lonely
But to make hard to buck

I believe where shes stoppin
If she wants time to care
I believe that shed look upon
Deciding to care... |

Im gonna let you pass
And Ill go last
Then time will tell just who has fell

I’m out here a thousand miles from my home
Walking a road other men have gone down
I’m seeing your world of people and things
Your paupers and peasants and princes and kings
Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
About a funny old world that’s a-coming along
Seems sick and it’s hungry, it’s tired and it’s torn

If today was not a crooked highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn’t such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Yes, and only if she was lying by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again...... |
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
And now youd throw us all aside and put us all away
Oh, what dear daughter neath the sun could treat a father so?
To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him No
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know were so alone

Born in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in the year of who knows when
Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion
Always on the outside of whatever side there was
When they asked him why it had to be that way, “Well,” he answered
“Just because”
Larry was the oldest, Joey was next to last
They called Joe “Crazy,” the baby they c... |
Come an gather round friends
And Ill tell ya a tale
Of when the red iron ore pits ran a-plenty
But the cardboard filled windows
And old men on the benches
Tell you now that the whole town is empty
In the north end of town
My own children are grown
Well I was raised on the other
In the wee hours of youth
My mother took ... |
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
Dust on my face and my cape
Me and Magdalena on the run
I think this time we shall escape
Sold my guitar to the baker’s son
For a few crumbs and a place to hide
But I can get another one
And I’ll play for Magdalena as we ride
No Ilores, mi querida
Dios nos vigila

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
You can almost think that you’re seeing double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
Where I’ve got me a date with Botticelli’s niece
She promised that she’d be right there with me

Clouds so swift, rain won’t lift
Gate won’t close, railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain’t goin nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high

Oh, oh, are we going to fly
Down in the easy chair!

Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy or crucify you

Frighten you or uptighten you
Drag you down or drain you down

Im walking through streets that are dead
Walking, walking with you in my head
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping
Did I hear someone tell a lie?
Did I hear someones distant cry?
I spoke like a child, you destroyed me with a smile
While I was sleeping
I’m sick of love
But Im in the thic... |
Seen the arrow on the doorpost
Saying, “This land is condemned
All the way from New Orleans
To Jerusalem”
I traveled through East Texas
Where many martyrs fell
And I know no one can sing the blues

As they were taking down the tents

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

My loss will be your gain”
Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right down

Most of the time
I’m clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path, I can read the signs
Stay right with it when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever I stumble upon
I don’t even notice she gone
Most of the time
Most of the time
It’s well understood
Most of the time... |
Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
You should not treat me like a stranger
Our Father would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger
Oh, sister, am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth
To love and follow His direction?
We grew... |
Standing on your window, honey
Yes, I’ve been here before
Feeling so harmless
I’m looking at your second door
How come you don’t send me no regards?
You know I want your lovin

Kneeling ’neath your ceiling
Yes, I guess I’ll be here for a while
I’m trying to read your poetry, but

You’re going to have to serve somebody

Crickets are chirping, the water is high
There’s a soft cotton dress on the line hangin’ dry

In the long black coat
Somebody seen him hanging around

Ring them bells, ye heathen
From the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
’Cross the valleys and streams

Ring them bells St. Peter
Where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand

Some of us turn off the lights and we live
With the moonlight shooting by
Some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark
To be where the angels fly
Pretty maids all in a row lined up

Except the girl from the Red River Shore

Im walking through the summer nights
The jukebox playing low
Yesterday everything was going too fast
Today its moving too slow
I got no place left to turn
I got nothing left to burn
Dont know if I saw you if I would kiss you or kill you
It probably wouldnt matter to you anyhow
You left me standing in the doorway, cryin... |
When you’re sad and when you’re lonely
And you haven’t got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you’ve held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
When you’re standing on the crossroads

I pounded on a farmhouse looking for a place to stay
I was mighty, mighty tired, Id come a long, long way
I said, “Hey, hey, in there, is there anybody home?”
I was standin on the steps feeling most alone
When out comes a farmer, he mustve thought that I was nuts
He immediately looked at me and stuck a gun into my guts... |
If I had wings
Like Noahs Dove
I’d fly the river
To the one I love
Fare thee well, my honey
Fare thee well
I had a man
Who was long and tall
Moved his body
Like a cannonball
Fare thee well, my honey
Fare thee well
Remember one evening
Was drizzling rain
And around my heart
I felt an aching pain
Fare thee well, my honey... |
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
There’s a dyin’ voice within me reaching out somewhere
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair
Don’t have the inclination to look back on any mistake
Like Cain, I now behold this chain... |
How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before theyre forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind
How many years must a mountain exist

Crimson flames tied through my years
Flowing high and mighty trapped
Countless fire and flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
Well meet on edges soon, said I
Proud neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
Im younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
Rip down all hate, I screamed
Lies that life ... |
May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true... |
You got me in a corner
You got me against the wall
I got nowhere to go
I got nowhere to fall
Take back your insurance
Baby nothing is guaranteed
Take back your acid rain
Let your TV bleed

Quit jammin me
Baby, you can keep me painted in a corner
You can walk away, but its not over

She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar
She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all

Last night, thinking about last night

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
With a voice without restraint
“Come out, ye gifted kings and queens

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
Go to the ends of the Earth for you

If your memory serves you well
We were going to meet again and wait
So I’m going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel’s on fire
Rolling down the road

I’m just average, common too
I’m just like him, and the same as you
I’m everybody’s brother and son
I aint different than anyone

I figured I was ready for Cassius Clay
I said “Fee, fie, fo, fum, Cassius Clay, here I come

Well, my heart’s in the Highlands gentle and fair
Honeysuckle bloomin in the Wildwood air

Everything was exactly the way that it seems

The air is getting hotter
There’s a rumbling in the skies
I’ve been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before
I’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
When I was ... |
If not for you
Babe, I couldn’t find the door
Couldn’t even see the floor
I’d be sad and blue
If not for you
If not for you
Babe, I’d lay awake all night
Wait for the morning light
To shine in through
But it would not be new
If not for you
If not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love, I’d b... |
John Wesley Harding
Was a friend to the poor
He traveled awith a gun in evry hand
All along this countryside
He opened amany a door

To hurt an honest man

A time they talk about
With his lady by his side
He took a stand
And soon the situation there

Farewell Angelina
The bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits
I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles
The music play slow
But farewell Angelina
The night is on fire
And I must go
There is no use in talking
And theres no need for blame
There is nothing to prove
Ev’rything still is the same

I once loved a girl, her skin it was bronze
With the innocence of a lamb, she was gentle like a fawn
I courted her proudly but now she is gone
Gone as the season shes taken
In a young summers youth, I stole her away
From her mother and sister, though close did they stay
Each one of them suffering from the failures of t... |
When the rains blowin in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evenin shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you havent made your mind up yet
But I ... |
Ive been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
Ive spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
I go to some hollow
And sit at my still
And if whiskey dont kill me
Then I dont know what will
I go to some bar room
And drink with my friends
Where the women cant follow
And see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish the... |
Oh, Im sailing away my own true love
Im sailing away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea?
From the place where Ill be landing
No, theres nothing you can send me, my own true love
Theres nothing Im wishing to be owning
Just to carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome... |
Frog went a-courtin, and he did ride, Uh-huh
Frog went a-courtin, and he did ride, Uh-huh
Frog went a-courtin, and he did ride
With a sword and a pistol by his side, Uh-huh
Well he rode up to Miss Mouseys door, Uh-huh
Well he rode up to Miss Mouseys door, Uh-huh
Well he rode up to Miss Mouseys door

We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
And now youd throw us all aside and put us on our way
Oh, what dear daughter neath the sun would treat a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot, yet always answer no?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why am I always the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know we... |
He loves your sexy body, he loves your dirty mind
He loves when you hold him, grab him from behind
Oh baby, youre such a pretty thing
I cant wait to introduce you to the other members of my gang
You dont need no wax job, youre smooth enough for me
If you need your oil changed, Ill do it for you free
Oh baby, the pleasu... |
Oh all the money that in my whole life I did spend
Be it mine right or wrongfully
I let it slip gladly to 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
Says it’s closin time
So I’ll bid farewell and be down the road
O... |
I once held her
In my arms
She said she would
Always stay
But I was cruel
I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away
Once I had mountains
In the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through
Every day
But I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away
Love is all there is
It makes the world go ... |
As I went out one morning
To breathe the air around Tom Paine’s
I spied the fairest damsel
That ever did walk in chains
I offered her my hand
She took me by the arm
I knew that very instant
She meant to do me harm
“Depart from me this moment”
I told her with my voice
Said she, “But I don’t wish to”
Said I, “But you hav... |
Señor, señor

Lincoln County Road or Armageddon
Seems like I been down this way before
Is there any truth in that, señor
Señor, señor
Do you know where shes hidin
How long are we gonna be riding
How long must I keep my eyes glued to the door
Will there be any comfort there, señor

Sometimes
I feel so low-down and disgusted
Cant help but wonder whats happening to my companions
Are they lost or are they found?
Have they counted the cost itll take to bring down
All their earthly principles theyre going to have to abandon?
Theres a slow, slow train coming up around the bend
I had a woman
Down in Ala... |
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 nothing 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 calling her to come on in
She sm... |
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 fig... |
Om idag inte var en ändlös landsväg
Om inatt inte var en krokig stig
Om imorgon inte kändes så oändlig
Då är ensamhet ett ord som inte finns
Men bara om min älskade väntar
Om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå
Bara om hon låg här tätt intill mig
Kan jag bli den jag var igår
Jag kan inte se min spegelbild i vattnet
Jag kan... |
