Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin’ out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
I got all the love, honey baby
You can stand
I been meek
And hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear
If you want me, honey baby
I’ll be here
Like your smile
And your fingertips
Like the way that you move your lips
I like the cool way you look at me
Everything about you is bringing me
Misery
Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain’t no monkey but I know what I like
I like the way you love me strong and slow
I’m takin’ you with me, honey baby
When I go
Life is sad
Life is a bust
All ya can do is do what you must
You do what you must do and ya do it well
I’ll do it for you, honey baby
Can’t you tell?
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin’ out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
I got all the love, honey baby
You can stand
I been meek
And hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear
If you want me, honey baby
I’ll be here
Like your smile
And your fingertips
Like the way that you move your lips
I like the cool way you look at me
Everything about you is bringing me
Misery
Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain’t no monkey but I know what I like
I like the way you love me strong and slow
I’m takin’ you with me, honey baby
When I go
Life is sad
Life is a bust
All ya can do is do what you must
You do what you must do and ya do it well
I’ll do it for you, honey baby
Can’t you tell?

| desertdog | Posted: May 27, 2013 - 14:27 Neko Case is a delight live, and down-to-earth. I have great memories of seeing her at Club Congress in Tucson, Ariz., before she made it big. Even though she moved away and slammed the city a little bit in the New York Times, we still miss her! |
| craighoog | Posted: May 23, 2013 - 18:57 Bob Dylan wrote a great many songs others made famous. He's a true genius. |
| gatorade (Peninsuland) | Posted: May 11, 2013 - 22:44 Twirlin' in the kitchen. Do what you must do and do it well. Solid 8. |
| CopyrightX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CopyrightX) | Posted: Apr 26, 2013 - 06:07 Nice lyrics. |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Apr 22, 2013 - 11:06 Everybody in my church loves this beautiful cover originally from Bob Dylan's album Blood On The Tracks... |
| paultron (Reno NV) | Posted: Feb 18, 2013 - 13:43 boy, yeah. i mean, i can about guarantee that neko did not cover this song because she heard it one day and said "ew, i can do that so much better". rather, i think she is paying beautiful tribute to a wonderful song by bob. |

But to say the man shouldn't publish???? |
| NanaNatalie (Pretoria) | Posted: Jan 18, 2013 - 05:50 Give me Dylan any day. Celine Dion makes me wish I was on the Titanic. |

No disrespect, bpkengor (people in glass houses shouldn't throw around witty moniker critiques) but I'm guessing you're in the camp of folks who don't like singers such as Randy Newman or Tom Waits because they are not necessarily the "usual" sound/tonality. Give me singers like them any day. And btw . . . I'm not in the "only the original writer's version is good" camp . . . for ex., I like the Jose Feliciano version of "Light My Fire" better than the Doors . . . much more listenable over the years.

| bachbeet | Posted: Oct 19, 2012 - 22:15 It's pretty good so I gave it a 6. Dylan's original is better. |

| bev (Reno, NV) | Posted: Oct 04, 2012 - 12:09 This version of Dylan's song would segue with George Harrison's version of Dylan's "If Not For You" very nicely. |
| apd (Toronto, On) | Posted: Oct 04, 2012 - 12:08 alright, I give in: just bumped it to 10. |

| AndyJ (Oregon) | Posted: Jul 17, 2012 - 11:33 I agree with Dylan comments... My view is a bit more sexist... A guy's take on the words is different from a woman's... same words, different meaning... her version wouldn't be added to the soundtrack of "Wonder Boys"... |

| chitown (Havana Daydreamin') | Posted: Apr 13, 2012 - 09:11 Makes one think, which Dylan cover is better - this or Sinead Lohen's To Ramona? |
| Grammarcop (Upriver from Zug Island) | Posted: Apr 09, 2012 - 12:59 Neko sang this on "Austin City Limits" and that recording is far superior. It's even more stripped down than this and it just sparkles. |
| Larry_Rosenow (Bend, OR) | Posted: Apr 09, 2012 - 12:59 Great song...for little country swing....yee haw. |
| Blastcat900 | Posted: Mar 28, 2012 - 16:41 @ toterola, yah a fine woman, she could sing anything to me.. but not this one. FILLER. |

| emh | Posted: Jan 25, 2012 - 07:28 Wendy Bucklew did a great cover of this. Neko... not so much. |
| Sbed | Posted: Jan 25, 2012 - 07:27 I just love her, great song. |

| listen_n_sf | Posted: Jul 31, 2011 - 14:58 Bob's voice and inflection adds so much to the words. They have been scrubbed clean here. |

I also prefer Dyaln's original - much more weight to it. This is a bit throwaway for my liking, unlike her own material. |
