 Her eyes were blue, her hair was too, her skin so sweet and soft

 Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside
 A tear came to his eye
 “You fail to understand,” he said
 “Why must you even try?”

 They chirp and they chatter, what does it matter
 They’re lying there dying in their blood
 Two Timing Slim, who’s ever heard of him?
 I’ll drag his corpse through the mud

 There was a wicked messenger
 From Eli he did come
 With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
 When questioned who had sent for him
 He answered with his thumb
 For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter

 “I’m around too many children,” he’d say, “they should never know of one”

 How much do I know
 To talk out of turn
 You might say that I’m young
 You might say I’m unlearned
 But there’s one thing I know
 Though I’m younger than you
 Even Jesus would never
 Forgive what you do

 No one ever knew for sure where they were really at

 And the mist is closing in
 Look at me, with all of my spoils
 What did I ever win?

 In Scarlet Town where I was born
 There’s ivy leaf and silver thorn
 The streets have names you can’t pronounce
 Gold is down to a quarter of an ounce

 Will be he who has stalled
 There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
 It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
 For the times they are a-changin’

 My grandfather was a duck trapper
 He could do it with just dragnets and ropes
 My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth
 I don’t know if they had any dreams or hopes

 “Oh son, you look so fine, I’m glad you’re a son of mine
 You make me proud to know you hold a gun
 Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get
 And we’ll put them on the wall when you come home”

 They show me to the door
 They say don’t come back no more
 ’Cause I don’t be like they’d like me to
 And I walk out on my own
 A thousand miles from home
 But I don’t feel alone
 ’Cause I believe in you
