Black Crow Blues Lyrics

I woke in the mornin', wand'rin',
Weary and worn out.
I woke in the mornin', wand'rin',
Weary and worn out.
Wishin' my long-lost lover
Will walk to me, talk to me,
Tell me what it's all about.

I was standin' at the side road
Listenin' to the billboard knock.
Standin' at the side road
Listenin' to the billboard knock.
Well, my wrist was empty
But my nerves were kickin',
Tickin' like a clock.

If I got anything you need, babe,
Let me tell you in front.
If I got anything you need, babe,
Let me tell you in front.
You can come to me sometime,
Night time, day time,
Any time you want.

Sometimes I'm thinkin' I'm
Too high to fall.
Sometimes I'm thinkin' I'm
Too high to fall.
Other times I'm thinkin' I'm
So low I don't know
If I can come up at all.

Black crows in the meadow
Across a broad highway.
Black crows in the meadow
Across a broad highway.
Though it's funny, honey,
I just don't feel much like a
Scarecrow today.

I like this song. When I first heard it, the thing that made me like it right away was how it was pretty different from Dylan's previous stuff becasue of the piano and everything.

As far as the meaning goes, it just seems to be about a guy who's having a really hard time in a relationship and is just saying how he feels while trying to make things right. It's not perfect, but it's something...

By the way, I don't think it's "Wasted and worn out", I always thought that it was "Weary-eyed and worn out". I might be wrong though...

I meant "Weary" not "Weary-eyed". Peace.

yeah, it's definitely "weary and worn out"
