BOB DYLAN lyrics : "Nettie Moore"


Lost John's sitting on a railroad track
Some thing's out of whack

Blues this morning falling down like hail
Gonna leave a greasy trail


Gonna travel the world is what I'm gonna do
Then come back and see you.
All I ever do is struggle and strive.

If I don't do anybody any harm, I might make it back home alive.

I'm the oldest son of a crazy man,

I'm in a cowboy band
Got a pile of sins to pay for and I ain't got time to hide
I'd walk through a blazing fire, baby, if I knew you was on the other side


Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is over

Winter's gone, the river's on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But there's no one left here to tell

The world has gone black before my eyes

Well, the world of research has gone berserk

Too much paperwork
Albert's in the graveyard, Frankie's raising hell
I'm beginning to believe what the scriptures tell


I've gone where the Southern crosses The Yellow Dog
Get away from all these demagogues

And these bad luck women stick like glue
It's either one or the other or neither of the two


She says, "Look out, Daddy, don't want you to tear your pants.
You could get wrecked in this dance."
They say whisky will kill you, but I don't think it will

I'm riding with you to the top of the hill

Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore

And my happiness is over
Winter's gone, the river's on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall

But there's no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes


Don't know why my baby never looked so good before
Don't have to wonder no more
She's been cooking all day, it going to take me all night

I can't eat all that stuff in a single bite

The judge's coming in, everybody rise

Lift up your eyes
You can do what you please, you don't need my advice
Before you call me any dirty names, you better think twice


Getting light outside, the temperature dropped
I think the rain has stopped

I'm going make you come to grips with fate
When I'm through with you, you'll learn to keep your business straight


Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is over
Winter's gone, the river's on the rise

I loved you then, and ever shall
But there's no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes


The bright spark of the steady lights
Has dimmed my sights

When you're around me all my grief gives away
A life time with you is like some heavenly day


Everything I've ever known to be right has been proven wrong
I'll be drifting along
The woman I'm loving she rules my heart

No knife could ever cut our love apart.

Today I'll stand in faith and raise
The voice of praise
The sun is strong, I'm standing in the light

I wish to God that it were night

The world has gone black before my eyes.
