Down In The Groove
Lyrics by Bob Dylan
1. Let's Stick Together
Well, a young marriage vow, you know, it's very sacred
The man put us together, now, you wanna make it
Stick together
Come on, come on, stick together.
You know, you made a vow, not to leave one another, never
Well, ya never miss you water till your well runs dry
Come one, baby, give our love a try, let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
We made a vow, not to leave one another, never.
Well, ya never miss your water till your well runs dry
Come one, baby, give our love a try, let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
You know, we made a vow, not to leave one another, never.
It might be tough for a while, but consider the child
Cannot be happy without his mom and his pappy
Let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
You know, we made a vow, not to leave one another, never.
2. When Did You Leave Heaven
When did you leave heaven ?
How could they let you go ?
How's every thing in heaven ?
I'd like to know.
Why did you trade heaven ?
For all these earthly things ?
Where on earth you hide halo ?
Where did you lose your wings ?
Have they missed you ?
Can you get back in ?
If I kiss you would it be a sin ?
I am only human but you are so divine.
When did you leave heaven angel mine ?
3. Sally Sue Brown
Look who's back in town
Ain't nobody but Sally Sue Brown
All you boys better run for cover
If you don't a-wanna be a hearted broken lover.
See her in that very tight skirt
Got what it takes
Just to make you hurt
Don't you see by those big bright eyes
Prefer to treat her nasty and low down lies.
Makes no difference where she's been
I'm go in south and doin' them things again
Bake in a hot tub, down the line
I'd rather see you ruin this a-heart of mine.
I'll go see them come down my way
Like a fool you're gonna hear me say:
I'll lay at your bed Sally Sue Brown
Please let me love you, baby
Don't put me down.
Makes no difference where she's been
I'm go in south and doin' them things again
Bake in a hot tub, down the line
I'd rather see you ruin this a-heart of mine.
I'll go see them come down my way
Like a fool you're gonna hear me say:
I'll lay at your bed Sally Sue Brown
Please let me love you, baby
Don't put me down.
4. Death Is Not The End
When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you held sacred falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
When you're standing on the cross-roads hat you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished and you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
When the storm clouds gather round you and heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there's no one there to comfort you with a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Oh, the tree of life is growing here the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation shines in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire with the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
And you search in vain to find just one law abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
5. Had A Dream About You, Baby
I got to see you baby, I don't care
Maybe someday, baby, you say where
I had a dream about you baby, a dream about you baby
Late last night you come rolling across my mind
You got that crazy rhythm when you walk
You make me nervous when you start to talk
I had a dream about you baby, a dream about you baby
Late last night you come rolling across my mind
I see the highway, baby, flag me down
Say take me daddy to the nearest town
I had a dream about you baby, had a dream about you baby
Late last night you come rolling across my mind
The joint is jumpin', it's really somethin'
The beat is pumpin', the laugh is thumpin'
Spend my money, on you, honey
My hands are shaking and my mind is breaking
You kiss me, baby, in the coffee shop
You make me so mad, I tell you to stop
I had a dream about you baby, dream about you baby
Late last night you come rolling across my mind
The joint is jumpin', it's really somethin'
The beat is pumpin', the laugh is thumpin'
Spend my money, on you, honey
My hands are shaking and my mind is breaking
You wear a blue scarf above your head
With a long dress, fire engine red
I had a dream about you baby, dream about you baby
Late last night you come rolling across my mind
6. Ugliest Girl In The World
Well, the woman that I love, she's got a hook in her nose
Her eyebrows meet, she wears second-hand clothes
She speaks with a stutter and she walks with a hop
Don't know why I love her, but I just can't stop
You know I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
If I ever lose her I'll go insane
I go half crazy when she call's my name
She says ba..ba..baby I lo..lo..love you
There ain't nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
You know I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
The woman that I love she got two flat feet
Her knees knock together walking down the street
She cracks her knuckles and she snores in bed
She ain't much too look at, but like I said
I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
I don't mean to say that she got nothing going
She's got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
When I get low she sets me on my feet
Got a five inch smile, but her breath is sweet
You know I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
The woman that I love, she's got a hook in her nose
Her eyebrows meet, she wears second-hand clothes
She speaks with a stutter and she walks with a hop
Don't know why I love her, but I just can't stop
I know I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
7. Silvio
Stake my future on a hell of a past
Looks like tomorrow is a-comin' on fast
Ain't complaining 'bout what I've got
Seen better times, but who has not
Silvio, silver and gold won't
Buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know
Honest as the next day rolling that stone
When I come a-knockin' don't throw me no bone
I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home
If you don't like it you can leave me alone
I can snap my fingers and require the rain
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain
Charm the whistle off the evening train
Silvio, silver and gold won't
Buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know
Give what I got until I got no more
Take what I get 'til I even the score
You know I love you and furthermore
When it's time to go you got an open door
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain
You give something up for everything you gain
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Silvio, silver and gold won't
Buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know
One of these days and it won't be long
Going down in the valley and sing my song
Gonna sing it loud, sing it strong
Let the echo decide it I was right or wrong
Silvio, silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know
8. Ninety Miles An Hour
I took you home from a party and we kissed in fun
A few stolen kisses and no harm was done
Instead of stopping when we could we went right on
Till suddenly we found that the brakes were gone.
You belong to someone else, and I do too It's just crazy bein' here with you
As a bad motorcycle with the devil in the seat
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.
I didn't want to want you, but now I have no choice
It's too late to listen to that warning voice
All I hear is thunder of two hearts beat
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.
You're not free to belong to me
And you know I could never be your own
Your lips on mine are like a sweet, sweet wine
But we're heading for a wall of stone.
Warning signs are flashing ev'ry where, but we pay no heed
'Stead of slowing down the place, we keep a pickin' up speed
Disaster's getting closer ev'ry time we meet
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Yeah, ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Well, ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.
9. Shenandoah
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Now the Missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin' river
Indians camp a long her border
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Well, a white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin' river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It was for her I'd cross the water
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
For seven long years I courted Sally
Look away, you rollin' river
Seven more years I longed to have her
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Well, it's fare-thee-well, my dear,
I'm bound to leave you Look away, you rollin' river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
10. Rank Strangers To Me
I wandered again to my home in the mountain
Where in youth's early days I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
Ev'rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
They all moved a way, said a voice of a stranger
"To that bautiful home by the bright crystal sea"
Some beautiful day I'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me.
Ev'rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
