Bob Dylan - Lonesome Day Blues Lyrics
Words and music by bob dylanWell, today has been a sad and lonesome dayYeah, today has been a sad and lonesome dayIm just sitting here thinking with my mind a million miles awayWell, theyre doing the double shuffle, throwing sand on the floorTheyre doing the double shuffle, theyre throwing sand on the floorWhen I left my longtime darling, she was standing in the doorWell, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the warWell, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the warMy sister she ran off and got married, never was heard of anymoreSamantha brown lived in my house for bout four or five monthsSamantha brown lived in my house for bout four or five monthsDont know how it looked to other people, I never slept with her even onceWell the road washed out, weather not fit for man or beastWell the roads washed out, weather not fit for man or beastFunny, the things you have the hardest time parting with, are the things you need the leastWell, Im forty miles from the mill, Im dropping it into overdriveIm forty miles from the mill, Im dropping it into overdriveSet my dial on the radio I wish my mother was still aliveI seen your lover-man comin, comin across the barren fieldsI see your lover-man comin, comin cross the barren fieldsHe not a gentleman at all, hes rotten to the core, hes a coward and he stealsWell my captain hes decorated, hes well-schooled and hes skilledMy captain hes decorated, hes well-schooled and hes skilledHes not sentimental, dont bother him at all; how many of his pals have been killed.Last night the wind was whispering, I was trying to make out what it wasLast night the wind was whispering something, I was trying to make out what it wasYeah I tell myself somethings coming, but it never doesIm going to spare the defeated, Im going to speak to the crowdIm going to spare the defeated, cause Im going to speak to the crowdIm going to teach peace to the conquered, Im going to tame the proudWell, the leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off of the shelfLeaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off the shelfYoure gonna need my help sweetheart, you cant make love all by yourself.
