Highwater (for charlie patton)


High water rising, rising night and day
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big Joe Turner looking east and west from the dark room of his mind
He made it to Kansas City, Twelfth Street and VineNothing standing there
High water everywhere High water rising, the shacks are sliding down
Folks lose their possessions and folks are leaving town
Reformation shook it, broke it, and she hung it on the wall
Say, "You dance with whom they tell you to or you don't dance at all"It's tough out there
High water everywhere I got a craving love for blazing speed, got a hopped up Mustang FordJump into the wagon, love, though your friend is overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mindI'm no pig without a wig I hope you treat me kind
Things are breaking up out there
High water everywhere High water rising, six inches above my headCoffin's dropping in the street, but balloons made out of lead
Well, I'm pulling into Vicksburg, don't know what I'm gonna do"Don't reach out for me," she said, "Can't you see I'm drowning too"It's rough out there
High water everywhere Well, George Lewis told the Englishman, the Italian and the Jew,"You can't open up your mind, boys, to any conceivable point of view,
They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway 5"
Judge says to the High Sheriff, "I want him dead or alive,
Either one, I don't care"
High water everywhere Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she fliesI'm preaching the word of God, I'm putting out your eyes
I asked fat Nancy for something t' eat, she said, "Take it off the shelf
As great as you are, man, you'll never be greater than yourself."
I told her I didn't really care
High water everywhere I get up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my broom
Keeping away from the women, I'm giving them lots of room
Thunder rollin' over Clarksdale everything has left me blue
I just can't be happy, love, unless you're happy tooIt's bad out there
High water everywhere

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Bob Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota on May 24, 1941, is an American singer-songwriter, composer, writer, poet, painter, actor, and radio host. Considered one of the most influential figures of the last fifty years in music, popular culture, and literature, Dylan has profoundly marked the history of American music. His career began in the 1960s, when he emerged as a key figure in the American protest movement. Songs like *Blowin' in the Wind* and *The Times They Are A-Changin'* became anthems for pacifist and civil rights movements. The lyrics of his early songs addressed political, social, and philosophical themes, influenced by literary authors such as Walt Whitman and William Blake, challenging the conventions of pop music and appealing to the counterculture of the time. Over the years, Dylan has expanded and personalized his musical style, exploring genres such as country, blues, rock, and gospel. Among his most important albums: *The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan* (1963), *Bringing It All Back Home* (1965) and *Highway 61 Revisited* (1965). In 1976 he released the album *Desire*, marking a new chapter in his career with blues and country influences. In 2016, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature «for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition».
