Artist | Bob Dylan |
Album | The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos: 1962-1964 |
[00:10.07] | To preach of peace and brotherhood |
[00:12.29] | Oh! What might be the cost! |
[00:14.58] | A man he did it long ago |
[00:16.50] | And they hung him on the cross |
[00:18.48] | Long ago,far away |
[00:22.51] | Those things don’t happen |
[00:24.04] | Nowadays |
[00:28.21] | The chains of slaves |
[00:29.21] | They dragged the ground |
[00:30.10] | With heads and hearts hung low |
[00:32.62] | But it was during Lincoln’s time |
[00:34.65] | And it was long ago |
[00:35.88] | Long ago,far away |
[00:41.04] | Things like that don’t happen |
[00:42.99] | No more,nowadays,do they |
[00:46.44] | The war guns they bonded and beliefs |
[00:48.59] | The whole world bled its blood |
[00:50.69] | Men’s bodies floated on the ground |
[00:51.96] | Of greens made of mud |
[00:54.23] | Long ago,far away |
[00:58.48] | Those kind of things don’t happen |
[01:00.44] | No more,nowadays |
[01:09.48] | One man had much money |
[01:11.19] | One man had not enough to eat |
[01:13.63] | One man he lived just like a king |
[01:15.62] | The other man begged on the street |
[01:17.62] | Long ago,far away |
[01:21.74] | Things like that don’t happen |
[01:23.58] | No more,nowadays |
[01:27.57] | One man died of a knife so sharp |
[01:29.57] | One man died from a bullet of a gun |
[01:32.67] | One man died of a broken heart |
[01:34.49] | To see the lynchin’ of his son |
[01:35.99] | Long ago,far away |
[01:40.55] | Things like that don’t happen |
[01:42.44] | No more,nowadays |
[01:47.72] | Gladiators killed themselves |
[01:49.65] | It was during the Roman times |
[01:51.57] | People cheered with bloodshot grins |
[01:53.65] | As eyes and minds went blind |
[01:55.62] | Long ago,far away |
[01:59.74] | Things like that don’t happen |
[02:00.98] | No more, nowadays |
[02:05.47] | And to talk of peace and brotherhood |
[02:07.48] | Oh!What might be the cost! |
[02:09.75] | A man he did it long ago |
[02:11.97] | And they hung him on the cross |
[02:13.54] | Long ago, far away |
[02:18.00] | Things like that don’t happen |
[02:19.86] | No more, nowadays, do they? |
[00:10.07] | To preach of peace and brotherhood |
