Q
Queen Jane Approximately
[Dylan]
When your mother sends back
all your invitations
And your father to your
sister he explains
That you're tired of yourself
and all of your creations
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
Now when all of the flower
ladies want back what they have lent you
And the smell of their roses
does not remain
And all of your children
start to resent you
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
[Jam]
Now when all the clowns that
you have commissioned
Have all died in battle
or in vain
And you're sick of all this
repetition
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
When all of your advisers
heave their plastic
At your feet to convince
you of your pain
Trying to prove that your
conclusions should be more drastic
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
[Jam]
Now when all the bandits
that you turned your other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas
and complain
And you want somebody you
don't have to speak to
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
Won't you come see me Queen
Jane?
Won't you come and see me
Queen Jane?
Won't you come and see me
Queen Jane?
Won't you come and see me
Queen Jane?
Queen Of Santa Fe I [?]
When I was a boy about seventeen
I went down to the railroad yard
I hopped on Santa Fe Queen
all the way to Boston for coal mines
I lit out from my home I
hitch hiked to Statson
I went around there, found
me a yard, I asked the old hobo, said:
Said, "I don't care, man,
I just ride the ride."
Queen Of Santa Fe II (Poor
Michael Went Down) [?]
Well you know I left my home
when I was seventeen years of age
Started hitch hiking from
San Francisco down to L.A.
And I, I met this man giving
me a ride
Amd finally got me by my
side said, "Hey son have a dime."
I say, "Thank you" and he
was on his way
So I got down in the big
cities and I was trying to get myself a job
But there wasn't no jobs
around
I couldn't seem to find
anyway to make guineas
And this man at the gas
station, he says,
"Son you need yourself a
job?" and I said "Mr. I surely do."
He said "Welcome in, I give
you a dollar and a 1/4 an hour"
That's sure good handling
that time
So I worked in the gas station
for a while
And I got myself a Plymouth
mobile, yes I did
That was comin' on pretty
good up to one day
I kind of let down on my
lovin' down for a 1/4 an hour
Couldn't go far out working
overtime I need a lot of money
That lot of money I don't
know what to do
So I met one of these guys
who'd walk around in the neighborhood
Behind this other gas station
we figure we'd check it out pretty good
So we decided we're gonna
rob this gas station
Because there was no other
way ot get no money
And then one night when
there was no one around
We went over there on that
side of town
And we broke into that gas
station and we robbed the cash register
And just at that time we're
making our escape
Here come a policeman walking
up the street
He yelled "Halt!" and we
got scared we threw the money up in the air
We started running and he
started too
He's hollering "halt!" and
then he began to shoot.
I was lucky I got over a
fence
My other friend made it
around the corner,
but my other buddy he went
down
And Michael you should have
stopped when the man told you
Because if that bullet wouldn't
have hit you
You would have been living
and what I'm trying to say now
Is that if you find yourself
in a situation
Where you could get killed
or you could live, Live if you cried
Cause Michael went down by
the old man's bullet
He didn't have to go down
if he were to stop
We had some pride wouldn't
let him quit that runnin'
But now Michael's in the
ground.
Michael why did you keep
on runnin'?
Michael your pride done
got you killed
You should have knowed that
cop had a pistol on his side
Why didn't you stop before
you was killed?
