| Po' BoyALBUM : Love & Theft (2001) Recorded : Mai 2001 Released : 11 Septembre 2001 Première performance live : Grand Rapids (6 Novembre 2001) Dernière performance live : Bordeaux (29 Juin 2010) Total : 40 fois. LyricsMan comes to the door—I say, “For whom are you looking?” He says, “Your wife,” I say, “She’s busy in the kitchen cookin’” Poor boy—where you been? I already tol’ you—won’t tell you again
I say, “How much you want for that?” I go into the store The man says, “Three dollars.” “All right,” I say, “Will you take four?” Poor boy—never say die Things will be all right by and by
Been workin’ on the mainline—workin’ like the devil The game is the same—it’s just on a different level Poor boy—dressed in black Police at your back
Poor boy in a red hot town Out beyond the twinklin’ stars Ridin’ first-class trains—making the rounds Tryin’ to keep from fallin’ between the cars
Othello told Desdemona, “I’m cold, cover me with a blanket By the way, what happened to that poison wine?” She says, “I gave it to you, you drank it” Poor boy, layin’ ’em straight—pickin’ up the cherries fallin’ off the plate
Time and love has branded me with its claws Had to go to Florida, dodgin’ them Georgia laws Poor boy, in the hotel called the Palace of Gloom Calls down to room service, says send up a room
My mother was a daughter of a wealthy farmer My father was a traveling salesman, I never met him When my mother died, my uncle took me in—he ran a funeral parlor He did a lot of nice things for me and I won’t forget him
All I know is that I’m thrilled by your kiss I don’t know any more than this Poor boy, pickin’ up sticks Build ya a house out of mortar and bricks
Knockin’ on the door, I say, “Who is it and where are you from?” Man says, “Freddy!” I say, “Freddy who?” He says, “Freddy or not here I come” Poor boy ’neath the stars that shine Washin’ them dishes, feedin’ them swine _________________ | |

| Ce morceau me rappelle les blagues que Dylan faisait à la fin de ses concerts à une période du NET. Des blagues souvent potaches, des jeux de mots qui le font rire comme un gamin malicieux. C'est amusant de le voir incarner un paysage comme celui-ci, c'est presque du "Nashville Skyline" tellement c'est campagnard. Un rythme de dingue surtout, qu'il a du mal à tenir en live. _________________ | |

oui tu as raisons. Ca fait penser à l'humour dylanien, le même que pendant les années folk de ses débuts. Exemple que j'adore par dessus tout: Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time. But all the people can't be all right all the time I think Abraham Lincoln said that. "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours," I said that. Bob est inimitable depuis 50 ans ! | |
