The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest[00:00:02]

(mono version) - Bob Dylan[00:00:04]

Well Frankie Lee and Judas Priest[00:00:13]

They were the best of friends[00:00:16]

So when Frankie Lee needed money one day[00:00:19]

Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens[00:00:23]

And placed them on a footstool[00:00:27]

Just above the plotted plain[00:00:29]

Sayin’ “Take your pick Frankie Boy[00:00:32]

My loss will be your gain”[00:00:36]

Well Frankie Lee he sat right down[00:00:39]

And put his fingers to his chin[00:00:42]

But with the cold eyes of Judas on him[00:00:45]

His head began to spin[00:00:49]

“Would ya please not stare at me like that ”[00:00:52]

He said[00:00:55]

“It’s just my foolish pride[00:00:55]

But sometimes a man must be alone[00:00:58]

And this is no place to hide”[00:01:01]

Well Judas he just winked and said[00:01:04]

“All right I’ll leave you here[00:01:07]

But you’d better hurry up and choose[00:01:11]

Which of those bills you want[00:01:13]

Before they all disappear”[00:01:15]

“I’m gonna start my pickin’ right now[00:01:18]

Just tell me where you’ll be”[00:01:20]

Judas pointed down the road[00:01:24]

And said “Eternity ”[00:01:26]

“Eternity ” said Frankie Lee[00:01:30]

With a voice as cold as ice[00:01:33]

“That’s right ” said Judas Priest “Eternity[00:01:37]

Though you might call it ‘Paradise’”[00:01:39]

“I don’t call it anything”[00:01:43]

Said Frankie Lee with a smile[00:01:46]

“All right ” said Judas Priest[00:01:49]

“I’ll see you after a while”[00:01:52]

Well Frankie Lee he sat back down[00:01:55]

Feelin’ low and mean[00:01:58]

When just then a passing stranger[00:02:01]

Burst upon the scene[00:02:04]

Saying “Are you Frankie Lee the gambler[00:02:07]

Whose father is deceased [00:02:10]

Well if you are [00:02:14]

There’s a fellow callin’[00:02:15]

You down the road[00:02:16]

And they say his name is Priest”[00:02:17]

“Oh yes he is my friend”[00:02:20]

Said Frankie Lee in fright[00:02:23]

“I do recall him very well[00:02:27]

In fact he just left my sight”[00:02:29]

“Yes that’s the one ”[00:02:33]

Said the stranger[00:02:34]

As quiet as a mouse[00:02:35]

“Well my message is [00:02:38]

He’s down the road[00:02:40]

Stranded in a house”[00:02:42]

Well Frankie Lee he panicked[00:02:45]

He dropped ev’rything and ran[00:02:48]

Until he came up to the spot[00:02:51]

Where Judas Priest did stand[00:02:54]

“What kind of house is this ”[00:02:58]

He said[00:03:00]

“Where I have come to roam ”[00:03:00]

“It’s not a house ” said Judas Priest[00:03:04]

“It’s not a house it’s a home”[00:03:07]

Well Frankie Lee he trembled[00:03:10]

He soon lost all control[00:03:12]

Over ev’rything which he had made[00:03:16]

While the mission bells did toll[00:03:19]

He just stood there staring[00:03:23]

At that big house as bright as any sun[00:03:25]

With four and twenty windows[00:03:29]

And a woman’s face in ev’ry one[00:03:32]

Well up the stairs ran Frankie Lee[00:03:35]

With a soulful bounding leap[00:03:38]

And foaming at the mouth[00:03:42]

He began to make his midnight creep[00:03:44]

For sixteen nights and days he raved[00:03:48]

But on the seventeenth he burst[00:03:51]

Into the arms of Judas Priest[00:03:54]

Which is where he died of thirst[00:03:57]

No one tried to say a thing[00:04:01]

When they took him out in jest[00:04:03]

Except of course [00:04:07]

The little neighbor boy[00:04:08]

Who carried him to rest[00:04:10]

And he just walked along alone[00:04:13]

With his guilt so well concealed[00:04:15]

And muttered underneath his breath[00:04:19]

“Nothing is revealed”[00:04:22]

Well the moral of the story[00:04:37]

The moral of this song[00:04:41]

Is simply that one should never be[00:04:44]

Where one does not belong[00:04:47]

So when you see your neighbor carryin’[00:04:50]

Somethin’[00:04:52]

Help him with his load[00:04:53]

And don’t go mistaking Paradise[00:04:57]

For that home across the road[00:04:58]
