    Lyrics:
    I married Isis on the fifth day of may
    But I do not hold on to her very long
    So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
    For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
    I came to a high place of darkness and light
    The dividing line ran through the center of town
    I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
    Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down
    A man in the corner approached me for a match
    I knew right away he was not ordinary
    He said, are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?
    I said, I got no money he said, that ain't necessary
    We set out that night for the cold in the north
    I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word
    I said, where are we goin' he said we'd be back by the fourth
    I said, "that's the best news that I've ever heard
    I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold
    I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
    As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
    I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless
    How she told me that one day we would meet up again,
    And things would be different the next time we wed,
    If I only could hang on and just be her friend
    I still can't remember all the best things she said
    We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
    He said, "there's a body I'm tryin' to find
    If I carry it out it'll bring a good price
    'Cause then that I knew what he had on his mind
    The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous
    We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
    When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
    But I made up my mind that I had to go on
    I picked up his body and I dragged him inside,
    Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
    I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
    Then I went back to find Isis just to tell her I love her
    She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
    Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed,
    I came in from the east with the sun in my eyes
    I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead
    She said, where ya been, I said, no place special
    She said, you look different I said, well, yes
    She said, you been gone I said, that's only natural
    She said, you gonna stay I said, if you want you me, yeah
    Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child
    What drives me to you is what drives me insane
    I still can remember the way that you smiled
    On the fifth day of may in the drizzlin' rain

      In all seriousness, the FBI is far too corrupt and political to care about actual terrorism. They, along with most other government buerocrats are too busy shilling for the Democrat party and covering up the financial crimes committed by that old life long empty suited corporate shill politician posing as president elect. He and his family have enriched themselves by selling us out to China, Ukraine, etc. but nobody is allowed to know about it thus tech companies censor it and the FBI helps cover it up. All so that our ruling class can amass more power & financial gain. Meanwhile normal Americans suffer the consequences and the corporate press continues to hoodwink 50% of the nation while gaslighting the other 50%. Sad state of affairs.

    It always drives me crazy when I see comments about Bob Dylan being a bad singer, it's very clear listening to this song, and many others, that Dylan is a great singer, he conveys emotion superlatively, is never flat or sharp, and rarely misses a note. If you wanna say you don't like his voice, fine, but just don't confuse that with bad singing. This is apropos of nothing BTW, just had to get it off my chest.

      You right, Thor, Bob is a great projector, a wonderful enunciator, and his timing is absolutely superb. He is, in short, a musician's musician. Some have called him a poet.. and I believe he himself said that.. but to my mind he more of a bard.. a singer of stories. And he is The Jokerman in that everything is levened with a sharp and often bitter humour that cuts to the bone for those who listen acutely and intelligently.

    @zoothornrollo9960 Год назад +101

    This is a genuine masterpiece. The vocals are equal to Miles Davis or Jimi Hendrix's expression on their respective instruments. Intonation, phrasing and sound colour are peerless. I could listen to this another thousand times never figure out how he did it. Every word, every phrase, every stanza oozes uniqueness and goes a long way to explaining why Bob would often improvise arrangements of what we know as his standards. I think, perhaps, he simply couldn't do carbon copies.

    • @mateuszmattias
      @mateuszmattias 11 месяцев назад +5

      Strange thing is it really should be boring and repetitive. The same figure in 6/8 throughout the song, no choruses, no really special licks either by the violin or the harmonica. At first glance a recipe for a boring piece, but it's just hypnotizing, a song I can almost obsessively listen to over and over again. What a song.

    Lyrics.
    I married Isis on the fifth day of May
    But I could not hold on to her very long
    So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
    For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.
    I came to a high place of darkness and light
    The dividing line ran through the center of town
    I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
    Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.
    A man in the corner approached me for a match
    I knew right away he was not ordinary
    He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?"
    I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary".
    We set out that night for the cold in the North
    I gave him my blanket he gave me his word
    I said "Where are we going ?" He said "We'd be back by the fourth"
    I said "That's the best new that I've ever heard".
    I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold
    I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
    As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold
    I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless.
    How she told me that one day we meet up again
    And things would be different the next time we wed
    If I only could hang on and just be her friend
    I still can't remember all the best things she said.
    We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
    He said "There's a body I'm trying to find
    If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"
    It was then that I knew what he had on his mind.
    The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous
    We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
    When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious
    But I made up my mind that I had to go on.
    I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty
    There was no jewels no nothing I felt I'd been had
    When I saw that my partner was just being friendly
    When I took up his offer I must-a been mad.
    I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
    Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
    I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
    Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.
    She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
    Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
    I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
    I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.

    She said, "You been gone," I said, "That's only natural."
    She said, "You gonna stay ?" I said, "If you want me to, Yeah ".
    Isis oh Isis you mystical child
    What drives me to you is what drives me insane
    I still can remember the way that you smiled
    On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain.

    One of my favorite songs by Dylan (and not just because I was born “on the fifth day of May”!). A strange, spooky story of adventure and love. Virtually every verse sparkles with unique, emphatic, and often FUNNY vocal phrasings (at least they make ME smile/giggle.) Sweet strings from Scarlet Rivera. Devilish drum rolls by Howard Wyeth (who also plays the piano on this!).
    Isis, oh Isis, you’re a mystical child. What drives me to you is what drives me insane. I still can remember the way that she smiled. On the fifth day of May, in the drizz-a-lin’ raaiiin…!
