Bob Dylan - Absolutely Sweet Marie Lyrics
Well, your railroad gate, you know I just cant jump itSometimes it gets so hard, you seeIm 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 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 finlly delivered down to the penitentiaryBut to live outside the law, you must be honestI know you always say that you agreeBut where are you tonight, sweet marie?Well, I dont know how it happenedBut the river-boat captain, he knows my fateBut evrybody else, even yourselfTheyre 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 cant unlock itYou see, you forgot to leave me with the keyOh, where are you tonight, sweet marie?Now, I been in jail when all my mail showedThat a man cant give his address out to bad companyAnd now I stand here lookin at your yellow railroadIn the ruins of your balconyWondring where you are tonight, sweet marie.
