Highwater — текст песни (Bob Dylan)





Words and music by bob dylan



Highwater risin, rising night and day

All the gold and silver are being stolen away

Big joe turner looking east and west from the dark room of his mind

He made it to kansas city, twelfth street and vine

Nothin standing there

Highwater everywhere



Highwater rising the shacks are sliding down

Folks lose their possessions, the folks are leaving town

Reformation shook it, broke it, then she hung it on the wall

Say you dancin with whom they tell you to or you dont dance at all

Its tough out there

Highwater everywhere



I got a craven love for blazin speed

I got a hopped up mustang ford

Jump into the wagon, love

Throw your panties overboard

I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind

Im no pig without a wig, I hope you treat me kind

Things are breakin up out there

Highwater everywhere



Highwater rising, six inches above my head

Coffins droppin in the street like balloons made out of lead

Water poured into vicksburg, dont know what Im gonna do

Dont reach out for me, she said, cant you see Im drowning too

Its rough out there

Highwater everywhere



Well, george lewes told the englishman, the italian and the jew

You cant open up your mind, boys, to every conceivable point of view

They got charles darwin trapped out there on highway 5

Judge says to the high sheriff, I want them dead or alive

Either one, I dont care

Highwater everywhere



Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies

Im preachin the word of god, Im puttin out your eyes

I asked fat nancy for somethn to eat, she said take it off the shelf

As great as you are man, youll never be greater than yourself

I told her I didnt really care

Highwater everywhere



I get up in the mornin, I believe Ill dust my broom

Keepin away from the women, Im givin them lots of room

Thunder rollin over clarksdale, everythin a-lookin blue

I just cant be happy, love, unless youre happy too

Its bad out there

Highwater everywhere
