Bob Dylan – Nettie Moore Lyrics  Share

From Bob Dylan's album: Modern Times

(Bob Dylan)

Lost John^,s sittin^, on a railroad track
Something^,s out of whack
Blues this mornin^, fallin^, down like hail
Gonna leave a greasy trail

Gonna travel the world is what I^,m gonna do
Then come back and see you.
All I ever do is struggle and strive.
If I don^,t do anybody any harm, I might make it back home alive.

I^,m the oldest son of a crazy man,
I^,m in a cowboy band
Got a pile of sins to pay for and I ain^,t got time to hide
I^,d walk through a blazing fire, baby, if I knew you was on the other side

Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is o^,r
Winter^,s gone, the river^,s on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But there^,s no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes

Well, the world of research has gone berserk
Too much paperwork
Albert^,s in the graveyard, Frankie^,s raising hell
I^,m beginning to believe what the scriptures tell

I^,ve gone where the Southern crosses The Yellow Dog
Get away from all these demagogues
And these bad luck women stick like glue
It^,s either one or the other or neither of the two

She says, "Look out, daddy, don^,t want you to tear your pants
You could get wrecked in this dance."
They say whisky^,ll kill you, but I don^,t think it will
I^,m ridin^, with you to the top of the hill

Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is o^,r
Winter^,s gone, the river^,s on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But there^,s no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes

Don^,t know why my baby never looked so good before
Don^,t have to wonder no more
She been cooking all day, it gonna take me all night
I can^,t eat all that stuff in a single bite

The judge^,s coming in, everybody rise
Lift up your eyes
You can do what you please, you don^,t need my advice
^,Fore you call me any dirty names, you better think twice

Gettin^, light outside, the temperature dropped
I think the rain has stopped
I^,m gonna make you come to grips with fate
When I^,m through with you, you^,ll learn to keep your business straight

Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is o^,r
Winter^,s gone, the river^,s on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But there^,s no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes

The bright spark of the steady lights
Has dimmed my sights
When you^,re around me all my grief gives ^,way
A life time with you is like some heavenly day

Everything I^,ve ever known to be right has been proven wrong
I^,ll be drifting along
The woman I^,m loving she rules my heart
No knife could ever cut our love apart.

Today I^,ll stand in faith and raise
The voice of praise
The sun is strong, I^,m standing in the light
I wish to God that it were night

Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is o^,r
Winter^,s gone, the river^,s on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But there^,s no one here left to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes
