Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
Though I know that evening's empire Has returned into sand Vanished from my hand Left me blindly here to stand But still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me I am branded on my feet I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's Too dead for dreaming
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
Take me on a trip upon your Magic swirling ship My senses have been stripped My hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere I am ready for to fade Into my own parade Cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging Madly through the sun It's not aimed at anyone It's just escaping on the run And but for the sky, there are no fences facing
And if you hear vague traces Of skipping reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time I wouldn't pay it any mind It's just a ragged clown behind And if to you he looks blind I wouldn't worry, it's just a shadow that you are seeing that he's chasing
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
Then take me disappearing Through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time Far past the frozen leaves The haunted, sheltered trees Out to the windy beach Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky With one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea Circled by the circus sands Driving memory and fate Deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you
Odetta is one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century. By combining the power and grace of an opera singer with the earthiness of a blues singer and the conviction of a folk singer, Odetta became a commanding, stirring singer unlike any other.
Odetta released her first album, Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues, in 1956. This is some two years before the beginning of the folk revival with which she is usually associated. The power of her singing seems to connect her to an earlier folk music, more elemental and raw than her late-50s and early-60s peers. Unlike the Highwaymen or other popular interrupters of classic folk songs, Odetta seems closer in both approach and presentation to Leadbelly. Her interest in folk music appeared to be less of a personal "revival" or awakening, than a continuation of a living tradition. She was referred to as the "female Leadbelly."
Bob Dylan was major inspired by Odetta - - in 1956 her album, "ODETTA Sings Ballads & Blues," inspired him to trade in his electric guitar for a Gibson acoustic guitar,and got him into folk .
Livin' With The Blues collects a number of Odetta's blues songs recorded for Vanguard during the 1960s, including several that have been previously unreleased. The majority of the songs feature Odetta singing and playing guitar with bassist Bill Lee holding up the bottom end. The other material includes Odetta singing folk and blues with piano, bass, and drum accompaniment.
