...a trapper

I would give thousand pelts

To sleep with Pocahontas

And find out how she felt

In the mornin'

On the fields of green

In the homeland

We've never seen.

Love me some Handsome Molly. I don't know if there is a studio version that Dylan did, but the Gaslight performance is pretty sublime!

 

That's the only one I know of! This thread inspired me to dig up that disc today...sadly, I only have four tracks from it in my iTunes player. Must have misplaced the others...

this song might have single handedly won me over for Neil (well, that and Powderfinger, I guess).

I wish I was a fisherman
tumblin' on the seas
far away from dry land
and it's bitter memories
castin' out my sweet line
with abandonment and love
no ceiling bearin' down on me
save the starry sky above
with light in my head
with you in my arms...


I wish i was the brakeman
on a hurtlin fevered train
crashin head long into the heartland
like a cannon in the rain
with the feelin of the sleepers
and the burnin of the coal
countin the towns flashin by
and a night that's full of soul
with light in my head
with you in my arms...


And I know I will be loosened
from the bonds that hold me fast
and the chains all around me
will fall away at last
and on that grand and fateful day
I will take thee in my hand
I will ride on a train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms...
Light in my head
You in my arms...
Light in my head
You...
With light in my head
You in my arms...
