Quinn The Eskimo (Aspen CO 2002) Songtext
von Bob Dylan

Waiting on you

Everybody′s building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others are jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair
Every girl and boy

But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody′s gonna jump for joy
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn


Now I like to go just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But guarding fumes and making haste
It ain't my cup of meat
Everybody′s just standing round ′neath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb

But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Then pigeons are gonna go to him
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

A lamb′s geek and Ginny doo, I can recite 'em all
Just tell me where to put them
And I′ll tell you who to call
And nobody can get any sleep
There's someone on everybody′s toes


But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna doze
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You′ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
