(Words and Music by Bob Dylan)
By and by, I`m breathin` a lover`s sigh
While I`m sittin` on my watch so I can be on time
I`m singin` love`s praises with sugar coated rhyme
By and by, on you I`m castin` my eye
I`m paintin` the town, swingin` my partner around
Well I know who I can depend on, I know who to trust
I`m watchin` the road, I`m studyin` the dust
I`m paintin` the town, makin` my last go-round
Well I`m scufflin` and I`m shufflin` and I`m walkin` on briars
I`m not even aquainted with my own desires
I`m rollin` slow, I`m doin` all I know
I`m tellin` myself I`ve found true happiness
That I still got a dream that hasn`t been repossessed
I`m rollin` slow goin` where the wild roses grow
Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past
You were my first love and you will be my last
Papa gone mad, Mama she`s feelin` sad
Well, I`m gonna baptize you in fire so you can sin no more
I wanna establish my rule through civil war
Gonna make you see just how loyal and true a man can be
