Bob Dylan – Tough Mama Lyrics  Share

From Bob Dylan's album: Planet Waves

Tough Mama
Meat shakin^, on your bones
I^,m gonna go down to the river and get some stones.
Sister^,s on the highway with that steel-drivin^, crew,
Papa^,s in the big house, his workin^, days are through.
Tough Mama
Can I blow a little smoke on you?

Dark Beauty
Won^,t you move it on over and make some room?
It^,s my duty to bring you down to the field where the flowers bloom.
Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise,
You came through it all the way, flyin^, through the skies.
Dark Beauty
With that long night^,s journey in your eyes.

Sweet Goddess
Born of a blinding light and a changing wind,
Now, don^,t be modest, you know who you are and where you^,ve been.
Jack the Cowboy went up north
He^,s buried in your past.
The Lone Wolf went out drinking
[ Tough Mama lyrics from

That was over pretty fast.
Sweet Goddess
Your perfect stranger^,s comin^, in at last.

Silver Angel
With the badge of the lonesome road sewed in your sleeve,
I^,d be grateful if this golden ring you would receive.
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch,
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Sweet Goddess
It must be time to carve another notch.

I^,m crestfallen
The world of illusion is at my door,
I ain^,t a-haulin^, any of my lambs to the marketplace anymore.
The prison walls are crumblin^,, there is no end in sight,
I^,ve gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Dark Beauty
Meet me at the border late tonight.
