Bob Dylan – Absolutely Sweet Marie
Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can’t jump itSometimes it gets so hard, you seeI’m just sitting here, beating on my trumpetWith all these promises you left for meBut where are you tonight, Sweet Marie?
Well, I waited for you when I was a-half sickYes, I waited for you when you hated meWell, I waited for you inside of the frozen trafficWhen you knew I had some other place to beNow, where are you tonight, Sweet Marie?
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviouslyBut then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately
Well, six white horses that you did promiseWere finally delivered down to the penitentiaryBut to live outside the law, you must be honestI know you always say that you agreeAlright, so where are you tonight, Sweet Marie?
Well, I don’t know how it happenedBut the river-boat captain, he knows my fateBut everybody else, even yourselfThey’re just gonna have to wait
Well, I got the fever down in my pocketsThe Persian drunkard, he follows meYes, I can take him to your house, but I can’t unlock itYou see, you forgot to leave me with the keyAh, where are you tonight, Sweet Marie?
Well, I’ve been in jail, where all the mail showedThat a man can’t give his address out to bad companyAnd now I stand here, lookin’ at your yellow railroadIn the ruins of your balconyWondering where you are tonight, Sweet Marie
