You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out, the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
All your seasick sailors, they're all rowing home
Your empty-handed army is all going home
Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet too is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your stepping stones behind there, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

I really like Bryan Ferry's version from Frantic... |

| tulfan (Still in SE MI) | Posted: Apr 09, 2013 - 04:59 Is it "really" a classic if it is unlistenable and only tolerable in the form of a cover? |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Mar 08, 2013 - 17:29 Everybody in my church loves this song... |
| RedTruk (Calgary) | Posted: Feb 05, 2013 - 09:33 Agree with posters, vocals are unlistenable, thx for PSD! |

Bob Dylan always makes the morning a bit better (even with his voice and even with my current head-ache  ) |

| iTuner | Posted: Apr 27, 2012 - 21:35 Give me Van Morrison or, gasp, Hole's version over this. |
| bachbeet | Posted: Apr 27, 2012 - 21:35 Always dug this one. That bass is just the right touch. Bill Lee on the bass. |
| wld | Posted: Apr 08, 2012 - 14:04 This one is far from my favorite performance (I prefer the live version on Biograph, for example), but I never grow tired of this song, and artists from Them (Van Morrison) to the Grateful Dead have done great covers. |

| Misterfixit (Nashville) | Posted: Jul 18, 2011 - 08:09 It's definitely all over for Paul Clayton. |
| RobRyan (The lovely hills of Anaheim) | Posted: Jul 18, 2011 - 08:05 Ordinarily Dylan's "singing" doesn't detract from my appreciation for his music. But here his shrieking overwhelms my love for the lyrics and the melody. Give me Bonnie Rait's version from "Steal This Movie." |
| valerie (Chile) | Posted: Jul 18, 2011 - 08:03 Will never tire of this song. Timeless. |
| thefoodoflove (Sydney) | Posted: Jun 16, 2011 - 15:35 Can't pick between Van Morrison and this version both fan feakin tastic! |
| SchoepTone (Duke City) | Posted: Apr 14, 2011 - 11:28 Terrible vocals, terrible harmonica. But somehow still a good song! |
| On_The_Beach (Vancouver BC, Bud) | Posted: Mar 14, 2011 - 00:21 Great song, amazing album. |
| calypsus_1 | Posted: Feb 24, 2011 - 21:02  Joan_Baez e Bob_Dylan by Rumanía mi país Cornel Penescu http://www.flickr.com/photos/22931151@N02/ Joan Baez & Bob Dylan - With god on our side 1963 live, during the civil rights "March on Washington", August 28, 1963 Cantautora norteamericana nacida en Staten Island, New York, el 9 de enero de 1941. De gran influencia entre los ambientes universitarios de su país y en la difusión del movimiento folk por todo el mundo. Su actitud contestataria y en defensa de los marginados provocó que muchas de sus canciones quedaran censuradas en algunos países de Sudamérica -cuando en ellos imperaban dictaduras militares- y en nuestro país durante los últimos años del franquismo. Hija de un físico mexicano y de una profesora de literatura, prima hermana del físico John Baez, Joan Baez se dio a conocer en el Festival Folk de Newport de 1959. La cantante de Folk más dotada interpretativamente de los 60, Joan Baez, ha influenciado casi todos los aspectos de la música popular en una carrera en curso todavía. Baez es una soprano de las que se ven una vez en la vida, que desde los 50 tardíos se ha puesto al servicio de la música Folk y Pop, así como una amplia variedad de causas políticas. Comenzando en Boston, Baez ganó por primera vez un reconocimiento en el Festival Folk de Newport de 1959. Hasta entonces, su presencia en la música pasaba por las típicas actuaciones en los clubes del Village neoyorquino y bostoniano.  All rights reserved |
