Syd Barrett - Bob Dylan Blues
“Bob Dylan Blues” (Barrett)
Got the Bob Dylan Blues
And the Bob Dylan Shoes
And my clothes and my hair's in a mess
But you know I just couldn't care less.
Gonna write me a song
'Bout what's right and what's wrong
'Bout God and my girl and all that
Quiet while I make like a cat.
'Cause I'm a poet
Don't ya know it
And the wind -- You can blow it
'Cause I'm Mr. Dylan the king
And I'm free as a bird on the wing.
Roam from town to town
Just to get people down
But I don't care too much about that
'Cause my gut and my wallet are fat.
Make a whole lot of dough
But I deserve it though
I've got soul and a good heart of gold
So I'll sing about war in the cold.
'Cause I'm a poet
Don't ya know it
And the wind -- You can blow it
'Cause I'm Mr. Dylan the king
And I'm free as a bird on the wing.
Well I sings about dreams
And I rhymes it with seems
Because it seems that my dream always means
That I can prophecy all kinds of things.
`
Well the guy that digs me
Should try hard to see
That he buys all my discs in a hat
And when I'm in town go see that.
'Cause I'm a poet
Don't ya know it
And the wind -- You can blow it
'Cause I'm Mr. Dylan the king
And I'm free as a bird on the wing.
An unreleased song recorded at Abbey Road Studios on 27th February 1970.
