Tell Me Momma Songtext
von Bob Dylan

Ol′ black bascom, don't break no mirrors
Cold black water dog, make no tears
You say you love me with what may be love
Don′t you remember makin' baby love?
Yes, you got your steam drill built and now you're lookin′ for some kid
To get it to work for you like your nine-pound hammer did
But I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind

Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma, what is it?
What′s wrong with you this time?


Hey, it's John, that has candy, don′t care and round
Tombstone Graveyard can get it done
Fool's gold in your teeth, they′re cemetery bricks
Stay outside wiyh your graveyard whips
Yes, everybody's when your friendship′s gonna end
But come on, baby, I'm your friend
And I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind

Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?

Oh, you′re so pleasing, but your face is red
Man, he can′t feel you, he's almost dead
Everybody sees you on your window ledge
How long is it gonna take for you to get off the edge
Just gonna make everybody jump and roar
Now what you wanna go and do that for?
For I know that you know that I know that you know
Something is tearing up your mind

Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma, what is it?
What′s wrong with you this time?
