[Verse 1-Bob Dylan]
I got this graveyard woman, you know, she keep my kids
But my soulful momma, you know, she keeps me hid
She's a junkyard angel, and she always gives me bread
[Chorus-Bob Dylan]
Well, if I go down dyin, you know she
Bound to put a blanket on my bed
[Verse 2-Bob Dylan]
Well, when a pipeline gets broken
And I'm lost on a river bridge
I'm all cracked up on the highway
And in the water's edge
Here again she comes down the thruway
Ready to sew me up with her thread
[Chorus-Bob Dylan]
Well, if I go down dying, you know she
Bound to put a blanket on my bed
[Verse 3-Bob Dylan]
Well, she don't make me nervous, she don't talk too much
She walks like Bo Diddley, and she don't need no crutch
She keeps this .410
All loaded with lead
[Chorus-Bob Dylan]
Well, if I go down dying, you know she
Bound to put a blanket on my bed
[Bridge-Bob Dylan]
Damn right!
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4-Bob Dylan]
Well, you know I
Need a steam shovel, mama, to keep away the dead
I need a dump truck, baby, to unload my head
She brings me everything and more, and just like I said:
[Chorus-Bob Dylan]
Well, if I go down dying, you know she
Bound to put a blanket on my bed
