Words and music by Bob Dylan
Man came to the doorI say for whom were you lookin ?
Says your wife I say she s busy in the kitchen cookin
Po boywhere you been?
Already told youwon t tell you again
I say how much you want for thatI ll go into the store
Man says three dollars all right I say will you take four?
Po boynever say die
Things will be all rightby and by
Workin like in a main lineworkin like the devil
The game is the same it s just upon another level
Po boydressed in black
Police at your back
Po boy in a red hot town
Out beyond the twinklin stars
Ridin first class train
Makin the rounds
Try to keep from fallin between the cars
Othello told Desdemona "I m coldcover me with a blanket"
"By the waywhat happened to that poisoned wine?"
She said "I gave it to youyou drank it"
Po boylayin em straight
Pickin up the cherries fallin off the plate
Time and love has branded me with its claws
Had to go to Floridadodgin them Georgia laws
Po boy in the hotel called the Palace of Gloom
Called down to room servicesays send up a room
My mother was the daughter of a wealthy farmer
My father was a traveling salesmanI never met him
When my mother died my uncle took me in to run a funeral parlor
He did a lot of nice things for me and I won t forget him
All I know is that I m thrilled by your kiss
I don t know any more than this
Po boypickin up sticks
Build you a house out of mortar and bricks
Knockin on the doorI say who is itwhere you from?
Man say Freddie I say Freddie who?
He say Freddie or nothere I come
Po boy neath the stars that shine
Washin them dishesfeedin them swine
