BOB DYLAN lyrics : "As I Went Out One Morning"


As I went out one morning
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's

I spied the fairest damsel
That ever did walk in chains
I offer'd her my hand

She took me by the arm
I knew that very instant
She meant to do me harm.


"Depart from me this moment"
I told her with my voice

Said she, "But I don't wish to"
Said I, "But you have no choice"
"I beg you, sir", she pleaded

From the corners of her mouth
"I will secretly accept you
And together we'll fly south".


Just then Tom Paine, himself
Came running from across the field

Shouting at this lovely girl
And commanding her to yield
And as she was letting go her grip

Up Tom Paine did run
"I'm sorry, sir", he said to me
"I'm sorry for what she'd done".
