Bob Dylan - The Early Days


------------------
Bob Dylan - The Early Days (1961-1962) door morrisanddylan I Was Young When I Left Home (From the Bootleg Daddy Rolling Stone)

I was young when I left home
But I been out a-ramblin’ ‘round
And I never wrote a letter to my home
To my home, Lord, to my home
And I never wrote a letter to my home

It was just the other day
I was bringing home my pay
When I met an old friend I used to know

Said your mother’s dead and gone
Baby sister’s all gone wrong
And your daddy needs you home right away

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny on my name
Well I can’t go home thisaway
Thisaway, Lord, Lord, Lord
And I can’t go home thisaway

If you miss the train I’m on
Count the days I’m gone
You will hear that whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, honey baby. Lord Lord Lord
And you’ll hear that whistle blow a hundred miles

I’m playing on a track
Ma would come and whoop me back
On them trestles down by old Jim McKay’s

When I pay the debt I owe
To the commissary store
I will pawn my watch and chain and go home
Go home, Lord Lord Lord
I will pawn my watch and chain and go home

Used to tell Ma sometimes
When I see them riding blinds
Gonna make me a home out in the wind
In the wind, Lord in the wind
Make me a home out in the wind

I don’t like it in the wind
Wanna go back home again
But I can’t go home thisaway
Thisaway, Lord Lord Lord
And I can’t go home thisaway

I was young when I left home
And I been out rambling ‘round
And I never wrote a letter to my home
To my home, Lord Lord Lord
And I never wrote a letter to my home

Mooie song met mooie beelden van negenendertig jaar geleden. Waar blijft de tijd.

Nice...., very nice om de toen piepjonge Dylan nog eens te horen in een van zijn verhalende songs..., thanks.
En om bij verhalende songs te blijven, luister eens naar: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning van Richard Thompson..., magistraal gitaarwerk en magisch stemgeluid van de medeoprichter van Fairport Convention.
