<pre><font size='+2'>BOB DYLAN BALLAD OF DONALD WHITE lyrics DYLAN BOB</font><br>by Bob Dylan<br />
 <br />
 My name is Donald White, you see,<br />
 I stand before you all.<br />
 I was judged by you a murderer<br />
 And the hangman`s knot must fall.<br />
 I will die upon the gallows pole<br />
 When the moon is shining clear,<br />
 And these are my final words<br />
 That you will ever hear.<br />
 <br />
 I left my home in Kansas<br />
 When I was very young,<br />
 I landed in the old Northwest,<br />
 Seattle, Washington<br />
 Although I`d a-traveled many miles,<br />
 I never made a friend,<br />
 For I could never get along in life<br />
 With people that I met.<br />
 <br />
 If I had some education<br />
 To give me a decent start,<br />
 I might have been a doctor or<br />
 A master in the arts.<br />
 But I used my hands for stealing<br />
 When I was very young,<br />
 And they locked me down in jailhouse cells,<br />
 That`s how my life begun.<br />
 <br />
 Oh, the inmates and the prisoners,<br />
 I found they were my kind,<br />
 And it was there inside the bars<br />
 I found my peace of mind.<br />
 But the jails they were too crowded,<br />
 Institutions overflowed,<br />
 So they turned me loose to walk upon<br />
 Life`s hurried tangled road.<br />
 <br />
 And there`s danger on the ocean<br />
 Where the salt sea waves split high,<br />
 And there`s danger on the battlefield<br />
 Where the shells of bullets fly,<br />
 And there`s danger in this open world<br />
 Where men strive to be free,<br />
 And for me the greatest danger<br />
 Was in society.<br />
 <br />
 So I asked them to send me back<br />
 To the institution home.<br />
 But they said they were too crowded,<br />
 For me they had no room.<br />
 I got down on my knees and begged,<br />
 `Oh, please put me away,`<br />
 But they would not listen to my plea<br />
 Or nothing I would say.<br />
 <br />
 And so it was on Christmas eve<br />
 In the year of `59,<br />
 It was on that night I killed a man,<br />
 I did not try to hide,<br />
 The jury found me guilty<br />
 And I won`t disagree,<br />
 For I knew that it would happen<br />
 If I wasn`t put away.<br />
 <br />
 And I`m glad I`ve had no parents<br />
 To care for me or cry,<br />
 For now they will never know<br />
 The horrible death I die.<br />
 And I`m also glad I`ve had no friends<br />
 To see me in disgrace,<br />
 For they`ll never see that hangman`s hood<br />
 Wrap around my face.<br />
 <br />
 Farewell unto the old north woods<br />
 Of which I used to roam,<br />
 Farewell unto the crowded bars<br />
 Of which`ve been my home,<br />
 Farewell to all you people<br />
 Who think the worst of me,<br />
 I guess you`ll feel much better when<br />
 I`m on that hanging tree.<br />
 <br />
 But there`s just one question<br />
 Before they kill me dead,<br />
 I`m wondering just how much<br />
 To you I really said<br />
 Concerning all the boys that come<br />
 Down a road like me,<br />
 Are they enemies or victims<br />
 Of your society?<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/bob_dylan_ballad_of_donald_white_lyrics-dylan_bob.html" target='_blank'>BOB DYLAN BALLAD OF DONALD WHITE lyrics DYLAN BOB</a></pre>

by Bob Dylan

My name is Donald White, you see,
I stand before you all.
I was judged by you a murderer
And the hangman`s knot must fall.
I will die upon the gallows pole
When the moon is shining clear,
And these are my final words
That you will ever hear.

I left my home in Kansas
When I was very young,
I landed in the old Northwest,
Seattle, Washington
Although I`d a-traveled many miles,
I never made a friend,
For I could never get along in life
With people that I met.

If I had some education
To give me a decent start,
I might have been a doctor or
A master in the arts.
But I used my hands for stealing
When I was very young,
And they locked me down in jailhouse cells,
That`s how my life begun.

Oh, the inmates and the prisoners,
I found they were my kind,
And it was there inside the bars
I found my peace of mind.
But the jails they were too crowded,
Institutions overflowed,
So they turned me loose to walk upon
Life`s hurried tangled road.

And there`s danger on the ocean
Where the salt sea waves split high,
And there`s danger on the battlefield
Where the shells of bullets fly,
And there`s danger in this open world
Where men strive to be free,
And for me the greatest danger
Was in society.

So I asked them to send me back
To the institution home.
But they said they were too crowded,
For me they had no room.
I got down on my knees and begged,
`Oh, please put me away,`
But they would not listen to my plea
Or nothing I would say.

And so it was on Christmas eve
In the year of `59,
It was on that night I killed a man,
I did not try to hide,
The jury found me guilty
And I won`t disagree,
For I knew that it would happen
If I wasn`t put away.

And I`m glad I`ve had no parents
To care for me or cry,
For now they will never know
The horrible death I die.
And I`m also glad I`ve had no friends
To see me in disgrace,
For they`ll never see that hangman`s hood
Wrap around my face.

Farewell unto the old north woods
Of which I used to roam,
Farewell unto the crowded bars
Of which`ve been my home,
Farewell to all you people
Who think the worst of me,
I guess you`ll feel much better when
I`m on that hanging tree.

But there`s just one question
Before they kill me dead,
I`m wondering just how much
To you I really said
Concerning all the boys that come
Down a road like me,
Are they enemies or victims
Of your society?
