by Bob Dylan It’s unbelievable, it’s strange but true, It’s inconceivable it could happen to you. You go north and you go south Just like bait in the fish’s mouth.

by Bob Dylan I was in your presence for an hour or so Or was it a day? I truly don’t know. Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low By that soft and shining sea. Did you respect me for what I did Or for what I didn’t do, or for keeping [...]
by Bob Dylan Wanted man in California, wanted man in Buffalo, Wanted man in Kansas City, wanted man in Ohio, Wanted man in Mississippi, wanted man in old Cheyenne, Wherever you might look tonight, you might see this wanted man.

by Bob Dylan I woke in the mornin’, wand’rin’, Wasted and worn out. I woke in the mornin’, wand’rin’, Wasted and worn out. Wishin’ my long-lost lover Will walk to me, talk to me, Tell me what it’s all about. I was standin’ at the side road Listenin’ to the billboard knock. Standin’ at the [...]
Mama, take this badge off of me I can’t use it anymore. It’s gettin’ dark, too dark for me to see I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door. Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door Mama, put [...]
You will search, babe, At any cost. But how long, babe, Can you search for what’s not lost? Ev’rybody will help you, Some people are very kind. But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I’ll keep it with mine. I can’t help it If you might think I’m [...]
by Bob Dylan and Helena Springs She’s like sweet water that runs down my face, I keep her posted in diamonds and lace. I give her freedom and what else I can find, But I know she’s restless in her mind And the wandering kind. Way down in Texas many years ago, She traveled with [...]
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall. She sees the bartender in a pool of blood, Cries out, “My God, they killed them all!” Here comes the story of the Hurricane, The man the authorities came to blame For somethin’ that he never done. Put in a [...]

by Bob Dylan Oh, the age of the inmates I remember quite freely: No younger than twelve, No older ‘n seventeen. Thrown in like bandits And cast off like criminals, Inside the walls, The walls of Red Wing. From the dirty old mess hall You march to the brick wall, Too weary to talk And [...]
by Bob Dylan Ring them bells, ye heathen From the city that dreams, Ring them bells from the sanctuaries Cross the valleys and streams, For they’re deep and they’re wide And the world’s on its side And time is running backwards And so is the bride. Ring them bells St. Peter Where the four winds [...]
by Bob Dylan Perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat An’ cov’rin’ the crossroads I’m standing at, Or maybe it’s the weather or something like that, But mama, you been on my mind. I don’t mean trouble, please don’t put me down or get upset, I am not pleadin’ or sayin’, “I can’t [...]
by Bob Dylan Three angels up above the street, Each one playing a horn, Dressed in green robes with wings that stick out, They’ve been there since Christmas morn. The wildest cat from Montana passes by in a flash, Then a lady in a bright orange dress, One U-Haul trailer, a truck with no wheels, [...]
