Po Boy — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

Words and music by bob dylan



Man came to the door, I say for whom were you lookin?

Says your wife, I say shes busy in the kitchen cookin

Po boy, where you been?

Already told you, wont tell you again



I say how much you want for that, Ill go into the store

Man says three dollars all right, I say, will you take four?

Po boy, never say die

Things will be all right, by and by



Workin like in a main line, workin like the devil

The game is the same its just upon another level

Po boy, dressed in black

Police at your back



Po boy in a red hot town

Out beyond the twinklin stars

Ridin first class train

Makin the rounds

Try to keep from fallin between the cars



Othello told desdemona "im cold, cover me with a blanket"

"by the way, what happened to that poisoned wine? "

She said "i gave it to you, you drank it"

Po boy, layin em straight

Pickin up the cherries fallin off the plate



Time and love has branded me with its claws

Had to go to florida, dodgin them georgia laws

Po boy in the hotel called the palace of gloom

Called down to room service, says send up a room



My mother was the daughter of a wealthy farmer

My father was a traveling salesman, I never met him

When my mother died my uncle took me in to run a funeral parlor

He did a lot of nice things for me and I wont forget him



All I know is that Im thrilled by your kiss

I dont know any more than this

Po boy, pickin up sticks

Build you a house out of mortar and bricks



Knockin on the door, I say who is it, where you from?

Man say freddie, I say freddie who?

He say freddie or not, here I come

Po boy neath the stars that shine

Washin them dishes, feedin them swine
