Absolutely Sweet Marie — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

Well, your railroad gate, you know I just cant jump it

Sometimes it gets so hard, you see

Im just sitting here beating on my trumpet

With all these promises you left for me

But where are you tonight, sweet marie?



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

When you knew I had some other place to be

Now, where are you tonight, sweet marie?



Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously

But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.



Well, six white horses that you did promise

Were finlly delivered down to the penitentiary

But to live outside the law, you must be honest

I know you always say that you agree

But where are you tonight, sweet marie?



Well, I dont know how it happened

But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate

But evrybody else, even yourself

Theyre just gonna have to wait.



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 cant unlock it

You see, you forgot to leave me with the key

Oh, where are you tonight, sweet marie?



Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed

That a man cant give his address out to bad company

And now I stand here lookin at your yellow railroad

In the ruins of your balcony

Wondring where you are tonight, sweet marie.
