Ragged and Dirty Songtext
von Bob Dylan

Lord, I′m broke, I'm hungry, ragged and dirty too
Broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too

If I can′t come in here, baby, then just let me sit down in your door
And I would leave so soon that your man won′t never know

Shouldn't mistreat me, baby, because I′m young and wild
You must always remember, baby, you was once a child

'Cause I′m leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blind
Leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blinds
