Groom Still Waiting at the Altar: The One Take Sessions : Bob Dylan Cover

Groom Still Waiting at the Altar: The One Take Sessions : Bob Dylan Cover
Few albums give me more joy than Bob Dylan's 1981 classic 'Shot Of Love' I found this in the car last week and it's been on high rotation ever since.
And few activities give me more joy than jamming some loud swampy blues guitar and singing a song as funky as this one.
If you enjoy this 1/2 as much as I did playing it , we're in good shape!
Need a rhythm section , I know.
I hope you enjoy this moment in the One Take Sessions -
Groom Still Waiting At The Altar
Prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement
Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the innocent
Felt around for the light switch, felt around for her face
Been treated like a farm animal on a wild goose chase
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar
I see the turning of the page
Curtain risin’ on a new age
See the groom still waitin’ at the altar
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your silence for snobbery
Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me
About the madness of becomin’ what one was never meant to be
Don’t know what I can say about Claudette that wouldn’t come back to haunt me Finally had to give her up ’bout the time she began to want me
But I know God has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated
I’d a-done anything for that woman if she didn’t make me feel so obligated
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I see people who are supposed to know better standin’ around like furniture There’s a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it
Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won’t have the power to keep it
Cities on fire, phones out of order
They’re killing nuns and soldiers, there’s fighting on the border
What can I say about Claudette? Ain’t seen her since January
She could be respectfully married or running a whorehouse in Buenos Aires
