Bob Dylan's 115th Dream |
| I was riding on the Mayflower when I thought I spied some land |
| I yelled for Captain Arab I have you understand |
| Who came running to the deck, said, «Boys, forget the whale |
| Look on over yonder, cut the engines, change the sail |
| Haul on the bowline,» we sang that melody |
| Like all tough sailors do when they are far away at sea |
| «I think I’ll call it America,» I said as we hit land |
| I took a deep breath, I fell down, I could not stand |
| Captain Arab, he started writing up some deeds |
| He said, «Let's set up a fort and start buying the place with beads» |
| Just then this cop comes down the street, crazy as a loon |
| He throws us all in jail for carrying harpoons |
| Ah, me, I busted out, don’t even ask me how |
| I went to get some help, I walked by a Guernsey cow |
| Who directed me down to the Bowery slums |
| Where people carried signs around saying, «Ban the bums» |
| I jumped right into line, saying, «I hope that I’m not late» |
| When I realized I hadn’t eaten for five days straight |
| Now, I didn’t mean to be nosy, but I went into a bank |
| To get some bail for Arab and all the boys back in the tank |
| They asked me for some collateral, and I pulled down my pants |
| They threw me in the alley when up comes this girl from France |
| Who invited me to her house. |
| I went, but she had a friend |
| Who knocked me out and robbed my boots and I was on the street again |
| Well, by this time I was fed up at trying to make a stab |
| At bringing back any help for my friends and Captain Arab |
| I decided to flip a coin, like either heads or tails |
| Would let me know if I should go back to ship or back to jail |
| So I hocked my sailor suit and I got a coin to flip |
| It came up tails, it rhymed with sails, so I made it back to ship |
| Well, I got back and took the parking ticket off the mast |
| I was ripping it to shreds when this Coast Guard boat went past |
| They asked me my name, and I said, «Captain Kidd» |
| They believed me, but they wanted to know what exactly that I did |
| I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed |
| They let me go right away, they were very paranoid |
