from Songs Of Bob Dylan/ All Blues'D Up !/ This Ain'T No Tribute Series [tribute] (2005)
(Bob Dylan)
Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, Can't buy a thrill. Well, I've been up all night, baby, Leanin' on the window sill. Well, if I die On top of the hill And if I don't make it, You know my baby will. Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees? Don't the brakeman look good, mama, Flagging down the "Double E"? Don't the sun look good Goin' down over the sea? Don't my gal look fine When she's comin' after me? Now the wintertime is coming, The windows are filled with frost. I went to tell everybody, But I could not get across. Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss. Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost. |

Though you failed at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will mend your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled It's time its time its time you felt like that again There is just no percentage in remembering the past It's time you learned to live again and love at last Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind You stare at me with disbelief You say for you there's no relief But girl I swear it won't do you no harm Don't sit there in your lonely room Just looking back inside that gloom Mama that's not were you belong Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green And everyday everyday hold on woman just got to be seen Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind Though you failed at love and lost And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will mend your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled It's time its time its time you felt like that again There is just no percentage in remembering the past It's time you learned to live again and love at last Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind |

I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like she never did before There's a speed zone ahead all right, I don't see a cop in sight Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight I got ten forward gears and a sweet Georgia overdrive I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide Just passed a Jimmy and a White, I've been passing everything in sight Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight It seems like a month since I kissed my baby bye bye I got a lot of woman but I'm not like some of the guys Got my air horns running clear Baby you oughta watch the way I shift my gears Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight ICC is checking on down the line Honey you know I'm a little overweight and my log books way behind But nothing bothers a soul at night, I can dodge them scales all right Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight My rigs a little old but it don't mean she's slow There's a good flame coming from her smokestack and the smoke's black as coal My home town coming in sight, if you think I'm happy baby baby baby your right Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight |

Many fish bites if ya' got good bait. I'ma goin fishin', Yes I'm goin' fishin, And my baby goin' fishin' too. Put 'im in da' pot baby put 'im in da' pan Honey cook 'im 'til he nice an' brown. Make a batch o' buttermilk, Hoe cakes Mama An' ya' chew them thangs an' ya' chomp 'em on down Singin' any fish bites if ya' got good bait, Here's a little tip that I would like to relate. Many fish bites if ya' got good bait. I'ma goin fishin', Yes I'm goin' fishin, And my baby goin' fishin' too. Play da' blues..... Betcha' goin' fishin' all o' da' time Baby goin' fishin' too. Bet yo' life, Yo' sweet wife She gonna Catch mo' fish than you. Many fish bites if ya' got good bait, O Here's a little tip that I would like to relate. Many fish bites if ya' got good bait.
