Bob Dylan — Absolutely Sweet Marie

[Verse 1] Well, your railroad gate You know I just can't jump it Sometimes it gets so hard, you see I just sitting here, beating on my trumpet With all these promises you left for me But where are you tonight, sweet Marie? [Verse 2] Well, I waited for you when I was half sick Yes, I waited for you when you hated me Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic Yeah, when you knew I had some other place to be Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie? [Bridge 1] Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately [Verse 3] Well, six white horses that you did promise Were finally delivered down to the penitentiary But to live outside the law, you must be honest I know you always say that you agree Alright, so where are you tonight, sweet Marie? [Bridge 2] Well, I don't know how it happened But the riverboat captain, he knows my fate But everybody else, even yourself They're just gonna have to wait [Verse 4] Well, I got the fever down in my pockets The Persian drunkard, he follows me Yes, I can take him to your house, but I can't unlock it You see, you forgot to leave me with the key Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie? [Verse 5] Well, I been in jail when all the mail showed That a man can't give his address out to bad company And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad In the ruins of your balcony Wondering where you are tonight, sweet Marie
