High Water (for Charlie Patton)


The Cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
I'm preachin' the Word of God
I'm puttin' out your eyes
I asked Fat Nancy for something to eat, she said, "Take it off the shelf -
As great as you are a man,
You'll never be greater than yourself."
I told her I didn't really care
High water everywhere

[Landys ghost]

I really much prefer this version of Mississippi...have you heard Sheryl Crows version?

[Kent Allard]

Yes..its awful.

[Landys ghost]

Yes..its awful. well it's done as entertainment and, on that level , it's not bad...didnt hear Dylan object to the royalties

[thin man]

Some of us turn off the lights and we live
In the moonlight shooting by
Some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark
To be where the angels fly
Pretty maids all in a row lined up
Outside my cabin door
I've never wanted any of them wanting me
'Cept the girl from the Red River shore

Well, I sat by her side and for a while I tried
To make that girl my wife
She gave me her best advice and she said
"Go home and lead a quiet life."
Well, I've been to the east and I've been to the west
And I've been out where the black winds roar
Somehow, though, I never did get that far
With the girl from the Red River shore

Well, I knew when I first laid eyes on her
I could never be free
One look at her and I knew right away
She should always be with me
Well, the dream dried up a long time ago
Don't know where it is anymore
True to life, true to me
Was the girl from the Red River shore

Now I'm wearing the cloak of misery
And I've tasted jilted love
And the frozen smile upon my face
Fits me like a glove
But I can't escape from the memory
Of the one that I'll always adore
All those nights when I lay in the arms
Of the girl from the Red River shore

Well, we're living in the shadows of a fading past
Trapped in the fires of time
I've tried not to ever hurt anybody
And to stay out of a life of crime
And when it's all been said and done
I never did know the score
One more day is another day away
From the girl from the Red River shore

Well, I'm a stranger here in a strange land
But I know this is where I belong
I'll ramble and gamble for the one I love
And the hills will give me a song
Though nothing looks familiar to me
I know I've stayed here before
Once, a thousand nights ago
With the girl from the Red River shore

Well, I went back to see about it once
Went back to straighten it out
Everybody that I talked to had seen us there
Said they didn't know who I was talking about
Well, the sun went down on me a long time ago
I've had to fall back from the door
I wish I could have spent every hour of my life
With the girl from the Red River shore

Now, I've heard of a guy who lived a long time ago
A man full of sorrow and strife
Whenever someone around him died and was dead
He knew how to bring 'em on back to life
Well, I don't know what kind of language he used
Or if they do that kind of thing anymore
Sometimes I think nobody ever saw me here at all
'Cept the girl from the Red River shore

[LazySlut]

that's my fave. it's such a pretty song.

makes you wonder why he didn't want to release it.

[Isis]

It's a love story without comparison....

[Isis]

Wonderful song

[Cupid Stunt]

The version of RRR on disc 1 is beautiful, I missed my bus stop on the way to work because it came on my ipod and I just got lost in it. One of Bob's all-time classics, and intended for TOOM I think. I don't like the one on disc 3 as much, I haven't listened to it for ages.

[Cupid Stunt]

Tell ol' Bill is great too, what a rhythm, it always gets my foot tapping like Bob's does when he plays guitar.

[Sandrine]

What is RRRR ?

[Garilia]

What is RRRR ?

It was RRR, and I think he meant RRS, which is Red River Shore

[Sandrine]

ok

Special mention for "Most Of The Time" too..

I didn't buy the bootleg with the 3 CD. I hope in a next bootleg we can have "Mary And The Soldier"

[Cupid Stunt]

What is RRRR ?

I dunno, a big cat?

A moped?

A Chinese man saying "LLLL"?

[Cupid Stunt]

It was RRR, and I think he meant RRS, which is Red River Shore

No, I meant Missippissippissi.

[Garilia]

No, I meant Missippissippissi.

feeling pissi?

[triangular!]

Since I have to listen to it now most of time because it was one of Mr. Allard's birthday present I have to say that on Disk # 2 'SERIES OF DREAMS' sounds wonderful sexy... I love it.

[Lew]

It's a mystery why RRS was cut from TOOM. Highlands is a great song, but a few verses could have been left out to make room for it if necessary. (As long as the kept the story set in the diner.)

[Garilia]

I really much prefer this version of Mississippi...have you heard Sheryl Crows version?

It was actually the first way I heard the song. Once I heard Bob's I preferred his version, but she does a spirited version of it.

[thin man]

without TTS when would RRS have happened



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZNxJirqjEQ

[triangular!]

funny you posted that, I had the tune on my mind the whole afternoon

[LazySlut]

it would indeed be a drag if they had never put that song out.....

[thin man]

:drool:

I listened to

disc 1
continuously yesterday

[LazySlut]

how was the beach???

[thin man]

the music compensated the weather, which was cloudy but dry.. I had a good day

[Sandrine]

CD n° 2 in the ears this week..

[Kent Allard]

Gonna blow out your mind, and make it pure..

TTS, Someday Baby (alternate version)

[Sandrine]

'Cross The Green Mountain

[triangular!]

'Cross The Green Mountain

You just came out with this one because of Kent.

[LazySlut]

yanno 'cross the green mountain would be a good code name for pot.

[Sandrine]

I would prefer find the song on youtube..

[triangular!]

I prefer no 'gm' actually.

[Sandrine]

there is

[Kent Allard]

'Cross The Green Mountain

The final song on every album; the Hymn of the Apocalypse

[Sandrine]

This song is mesmerizing

[Kent Allard]

Its so different from any of his other work...and time will select this as his greatest masterpiece (among many others of course)

[Landys ghost]

Its so different from any of his other work...and time will select this as his greatest masterpiece (among many others of course)

How and Why have you arrived at that conclusion?

How can you be so definitive about it? he's written 100's of "great" songs some are widely acknowledged as such but, generally, it's too subjective an area for someone to say in no uncertain "his greatest ..." and anyway how can something be "the greatest" and,at the same time, "among many others" thats a contradiction, only one can be "the greatest".
If only you'd use IMO when you write this stuff

[Kent Allard]

I reserve the right to hold any opinion I like ...on anything. If I were a politician, I may be called to account for my view, but I'm not..though I admit to being a LibDem voter... ;)

[triangular!]

ah well that's better stuff, Sandrine... but feels a bit sexless... the TTL one got more bit

[Landys ghost]

I reserve the right to hold any opinion I like ...on anything. If I were a politician, I may be called to account for my view, but I'm not..though I admit to being a LibDem voter... ;)

Ah, so it is only an opinion then - thats not what you originally implied...and you would then, minister, agree that opinions might differ or that your opinion may be wrong?

[triangular!]

I was wrong I wanted to say TTS there are so many TT's in Dylan's work it gets confusing.

[Landys ghost]

what does?

[Kent Allard]

Landy, I was only kidding..of course if you have an opinion on something you should always be able to justify it rationally. Whether it's on Bob Dylan or politics. Any other approach is pure laziness.

Today, I like "The Girl On The Greenbriar Shore".

No-one makes a pass at the Queen of Love

[Sandrine]

[Sandrine]

I like very much the version of Mississippi on the CD 1.

Most Of The Time is great too.

And Huck's Tune, Tell Ol' Bill...

[Sandrine]

CD 2 for one week

[thin man]

I was driving along with the top down last week. and disc 1.. flew away at high speed.

thankfully it was only a copy of my original.... as they never make the outside world


PS .. I'm really looking forward to delivery of THE WITMARK DEMOS SET RELEASE ALONG WITH FIRST RE-RELEASE OF THE ORIGINAL MONO RECORDINGS in cd format.. this will make a big difference to my ears
