| Bob Dylan – Tell Me, Momma Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
the lyrics of the live version, according to dylanchords.info, are these: (i like them better, especially the first 2 lines) Cold black glass don't make no mirror Cold black water don't make no tears You say you love me with what may be love Don't you remember makin' baby love? Yes, you got your steam drill, now you're lookin' for some kid To get it to work for you like your nine-pound hammer did But I know that you know that I know that you show Something is tearing up your mind. Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, what is it? What's wrong with you this time? Black sun-glass [came here, pony run] *) Tombstone babes, y'all can get it done Fool's gold in your teeth and cementary hips Get outside of your graveyard lips Yes, everybody's wonderin' when your friendship's gonna end But come on, baby, I'm your friend! And I know that you know that I know that you show Something is tearing up your mind. **) Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, what is it? What's wrong with you this time? [Solo (without capo):] Ohh, [you're pleasing?] but your face is red That ain't he can't get it, he's almost dead. Everybody sees you on your window ledge How long's it gonna take for your to get off the edge You just gonna make everybody jump and roar Now, whatcha wanna go and do that for? For I know that you know that I know that you know Something is tearing up your mind. Ah, tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, what is it? What's wrong with you this time? *) The end of the line is dubious, but in Liverpool (5/14) he clearly sings “pony run” somewhere. Sydney, Apr 13, 1966 has: “With your dark sun-glasses on your Babylon chest” (different continuation). **) Sydney: “Sometimes / my time's / the right time / to go, / now, / what's resting on your mind?” |

| on a live version of "chimes of freedom" you can hear dylan saying something like "in olden days people would say, oh remember goliath, he was mighty and yet he fell, and in the future people are going to say 'oh, remember when goliath II. fell?'" or something like this before beginning to play. anyway it must have been around the same time and he seemed to like the "goliath" metaphor for the more reactionary part of american society. | |

the harmonica is in the key of D, if you play with capo on 2nd fret. the 9th hole i think is the G-note (relative to capo). i also play it without capo with a C-harp (2nd position) or G (1st pos., i think this is the way they play it on the cover from the "i´m not there" OST). |

this is one of my dylan favorites.. and i´ve been wondering some about the lyrics. i´ve heard the bit about the everly brothers, and the "couldn't keep on keeping on" fits with your idea perfectly. i don't know if dylan really was seriously injured in that famed accident, but he sure did kick back after he nearly killed himself over touring and drugs, so that part makes sense too. the final verse about birds and fishes and dogs is just dylan having some fun rhyming, i guess :) |
