Cover art for Red River Shore lyrics by Bob Dylan

Well, I've been to the east (Berlin Communist countries) and I've been to the west (Berlin - the free world) And I've been out where the black winds roar (the civil rights movement) Somehow, though, I never did get that far With the girl from the Red River shore (with Communism)

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

I suggest everyone give up trying to translate Bob - it takes a genius like me to do it
