Bob Dylan — Cry a While

[Verse 1] Well, I had to go down and see a guy named Mr. Goldsmith A nasty, dirty, double-crossin’, backstabbin’ phony I didn’t wanna have to be dealin’ with But I did it for you and all you gave me was a smile Well, I cried for you, now it’s your turn to cry awhile [Verse 2] I don’t carry deadweight, I’m no flash in the pan All right, I’ll set you straight, can’t you see I’m a union man? I’m lettin’ the cat out of the cage, I’m keeping a low profile Well, I cried for you, now it’s your turn, you can cry awhile [Verse 3] Feel like a fighting rooster, feel better than I ever felt But the Pennsylvania line’s in an awful mess and the Denver road is about to melt I went to the church house, every day I go an extra mile Well, I cried for you, now it’s your turn, you can cry awhile [Verse 4] Last night ’cross the alley there was a pounding on the walls It must have been Don Pasqualli makin’ a two A.M. booty call To break a trusting heart like mine was just your style Well, I cried for you, now it’s your turn to cry awhile [Verse 5] I’m on the fringes of the night, fighting back tears that I can’t control Some people they ain’t human, they got no heart or soul Well, I’m crying to the Lord, I’m tryin’ to be meek and mild Yes, I cried for you, now it’s your turn, you can cry awhile [Verse 6] Well, there’s preachers in the pulpits and babies in the cribs I’m longin’ for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs I’m gonna buy me a barrel of whiskey, I’ll die before I turn senile Well, I cried for you, now it’s your turn, you can cry awhile [Verse 7] Well, you bet on a horse and it ran on the wrong way I always said you’d be sorry and today could be the day I might need a good lawyer, could be your funeral, my trial Well, I cried for you, now it’s your turn, you can cry awhile
