Tin Angel - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
It was late last night when the boss came home[00:00:14]
To a deserted mansion and a desolate throne[00:00:18]
Servant said Boss the lady's gone[00:00:21]
She left this morning just 'fore dawn[00:00:25]
You got something to tell me tell it to me man[00:00:32]
Come to the point as straight as you can[00:00:36]
Old Henry Lee chief of the clan[00:00:39]
Came riding through the woods and took her by the hand[00:00:42]
The boss he lay back flat on his bed[00:00:50]
He cursed the heat and he clutched his head[00:00:53]
He pondered the future of his fate[00:00:57]
To wait another day would be far too late[00:01:00]
Go fetch me my coat and my tie[00:01:07]
And the cheapest labor that money can buy[00:01:11]
Saddle me up my buckskin mare[00:01:15]
If you see me go by put up a prayer[00:01:18]
Well they rode all night and they rode all day[00:01:25]
Eastward long down the broad highway[00:01:29]
His spirit was tired and his vision was bent[00:01:32]
His men deserted him and onward he went[00:01:36]
He came to a place where the light was dull[00:01:43]
His forehead pounding in his skull[00:01:47]
Heavy heart was racked with pain[00:01:50]
Insomnia raging in his brain[00:01:54]
Well he threw down his helmet and his cross-handled sword[00:02:01]
He renounced his faith he denied his Lord[00:02:04]
Crawled on his belly put his ear to the wall[00:02:08]
One way or another put an end to it all[00:02:11]
He leaned down cut the electric wire[00:02:19]
Stared into the flames and he snorted the fire[00:02:22]
Peered through the darkness caught a glimpse of the two[00:02:26]
It was hard to tell for certain who was who[00:02:29]
He lowered himself down on a golden chain[00:02:36]
His nerves were quaking in every vein[00:02:40]
His knuckles were bloody he sucked in the air[00:02:43]
He ran his fingers through his greasy hair[00:02:47]
They looked at each other and their glasses clinked[00:02:54]
One single unit inseparably linked[00:02:58]
Got a strange premonition there's a man close by[00:03:01]
Don't worry about him he wouldn't harm a fly[00:03:05]
From behind the curtain the boss he crossed the floor[00:03:12]
He moved his feet and he bolted the door[00:03:15]
Shadows hiding the lines in his face[00:03:19]
With all the nobility of an ancient race[00:03:22]
She turned she was startled with a look of surprise[00:03:30]
With a hatred that could hit the skies[00:03:33]
You're a reckless fool I could see it in your eyes[00:03:37]
To come this way was by no means wise[00:03:40]
Get up stand up you greedy-lipped wench[00:03:48]
And cover your face or suffer the consequence[00:03:51]
You are making my heart feel sick[00:03:54]
Put your clothes back on double-quick[00:03:58]
Silly boy you think me a saint[00:04:05]
I'll listen no more to your words of complaint[00:04:09]
You've given me nothing but the sweetest lies[00:04:12]
Now hold your tongue and feed your eyes[00:04:16]
I'd have given you the stars and the planets too[00:04:23]
But what good would these things do you[00:04:26]
Bow the heart if not the knee[00:04:30]
Or never again this world you'll see[00:04:34]
Oh please let not your heart be cold[00:04:41]
This man is dearer to me than gold[00:04:44]
Oh my dear you must be blind[00:04:48]
He's a gutless ape with a worthless mind[00:04:51]
You've had your way too long with me[00:04:58]
Now it's me who'll determine how things shall be[00:05:02]
Try to escape he cussed and cursed[00:05:06]
You'll have to try to get past me first[00:05:09]
Do not let your passion rule[00:05:16]
You think my heart the heart of a fool[00:05:20]
And you sir you can not deny[00:05:23]
You made a monkey of me what and for why[00:05:27]
I'll have no more of this insulting chat[00:05:34]
The devil can have you I'll see to that[00:05:38]
Look sharp or step aside[00:05:42]
Or in the cradle you'll wish you'd died[00:05:45]
The gun went boom and the shot rang clear[00:05:52]
First bullet grazed his ear[00:05:55]
Second ball went right straight in[00:05:59]
And he bent in the middle like a twisted pin[00:06:02]
He crawled to the corner and he lowered his head[00:06:10]
He gripped the chair and he grabbed the bed[00:06:13]
It would take more than needle and thread[00:06:17]
Bleeding from the mouth he's as good as dead[00:06:20]
You shot my husband down you fiend[00:06:27]
Husband What husband What the hell do you mean[00:06:31]
He was a man of strife a man of sin[00:06:34]
I cut him down and I threw him to the wind[00:06:38]
This she said with angry breath[00:06:49]
You too shall meet the lord of death[00:06:52]
It was I who brought your soul to life[00:06:56]
Then she raised her robe and she drew out a knife[00:06:59]
His face was hard and caked with sweat[00:07:06]
His arms ached and his hands were wet[00:07:10]
You're a murderous queen and a bloody wife[00:07:13]
If you don't mind I'll have the knife[00:07:17]
We're two of a kind and our blood runs hot[00:07:24]
But we're no way similar in body or thought[00:07:28]
All husbands are good men as all wives know[00:07:31]
Then she pierced him to the heart and his blood did flow[00:07:35]
His knees went limp and he reached for the door[00:07:42]
His tomb was sealed he slid to the floor[00:07:46]
He whispered in her ear This is all your fault[00:07:49]
My fighting days have come to a halt[00:07:53]
She touched his lips and kissed his cheek[00:08:00]
He tried to speak but his breath was weak[00:08:03]
You died for me now I'll die for you[00:08:07]
She put the blade to her heart and she ran it through[00:08:10]
All three lovers together in a heap[00:08:18]
Thrown into the grave forever to sleep[00:08:21]
Funeral torches blazed away[00:08:25]
Through the towns and the villages all night and all day[00:08:28]
