Lyrics:
I married Isis on the fifth day of may
But I do not hold on to her very long
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
I came to a high place of darkness and light
The dividing line ran through the center of town
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down
A man in the corner approached me for a match
I knew right away he was not ordinary
He said, are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?
I said, I got no money he said, that ain't necessary
We set out that night for the cold in the north
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word
I said, where are we goin' he said we'd be back by the fourth
I said, "that's the best news that I've ever heard
I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold
I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless
How she told me that one day we would meet up again,
And things would be different the next time we wed,
If I only could hang on and just be her friend
I still can't remember all the best things she said
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
He said, "there's a body I'm tryin' to find
If I carry it out it'll bring a good price
'Cause then that I knew what he had on his mind
The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
But I made up my mind that I had to go on
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside,
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
Then I went back to find Isis just to tell her I love her
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed,
I came in from the east with the sun in my eyes
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead
She said, where ya been, I said, no place special
She said, you look different I said, well, yes
She said, you been gone I said, that's only natural
She said, you gonna stay I said, if you want you me, yeah
Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of may in the drizzlin' rain

The FBI watching me type "Isis": 😳🧐🤔😬
The FBI watching me type " - Bob Dylan": 😎😏😊
In all seriousness, the FBI is far too corrupt and political to care about actual terrorism. They, along with most other government buerocrats are too busy shilling for the Democrat party and covering up the financial crimes committed by that old life long empty suited corporate shill politician posing as president elect. He and his family have enriched themselves by selling us out to China, Ukraine, etc. but nobody is allowed to know about it thus tech companies censor it and the FBI helps cover it up. All so that our ruling class can amass more power & financial gain. Meanwhile normal Americans suffer the consequences and the corporate press continues to hoodwink 50% of the nation while gaslighting the other 50%. Sad state of affairs.
*Sorry. I had vent that*
@Cachu financial crimes?he would walk down a ramp and the media would go insane and deem him unfit,while pres biden fell 3 times and there was complete radio silence, they condemned pres trump's every breath,very unfair,but he shouldve been more presidential with his statements it is true
I’m just going to put these political issues aside for a few minutes and enjoy this song
Well shit .. too bad they musta seen my small sack:"")"")"))
I couldn't agree more Christopher, fuck the F B I
Desire....one of the best albums ever written. This is Dylan at his most energised...a totally unique sound..no compromises...great stories...great delivery...a masterpiece. Isis takes us full circle from the start to end...'I'll be back by the 4th..'.....
deserves more likes
Llrm b v c
This and pat Garrett soundtrack really etched Dylan into my soul
Freewheelin, blonde on blonde, john Wesley Harding, nashville skyline, next for me is blood on the tracks, which is so good as well, but i agree that desire was his best 70s album, nothing beats blonde on blonde.
1966!! Special year for his creativity like "visions of johanna"
This song could be a movie 😉
Should be
And it would be really excellent you just know it would be because yes it would be
It is a movie. It’s the story of our lives
That is very true..thank you
Just close your eyes - it's a movie that plays in your mind while you listen!
Been listening to Bob since I was 14. He was a guiding light through my tough teenage years. Still a massive fan at 60.
Give - Yes. Now 75, graduated in 1965. Love his early material.
My dad said his music wouldn't last.
@@stevejette2329 Did you slap your dead about the head and face with a salmon?
one more coffee is probably one of the most haunting songs there is
It always drives me crazy when I see comments about Bob Dylan being a bad singer, it's very clear listening to this song, and many others, that Dylan is a great singer, he conveys emotion superlatively, is never flat or sharp, and rarely misses a note. If you wanna say you don't like his voice, fine, but just don't confuse that with bad singing. This is apropos of nothing BTW, just had to get it off my chest.
Tell people David Bowie cant sing either and I loved him since I was 18 back in late 90's and you get the same thing,I love Bobby Dylan and of course he can sing THERE ARE NO RULES FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE if people like it - they like it? Can you dig it?

You right, Thor, Bob is a great projector, a wonderful enunciator, and his timing is absolutely superb. He is, in short, a musician's musician. Some have called him a poet.. and I believe he himself said that.. but to my mind he more of a bard.. a singer of stories. And he is The Jokerman in that everything is levened with a sharp and often bitter humour that cuts to the bone for those who listen acutely and intelligently.
Lets be honest, this is one of his better songs. There was a period when he only seemed to mumble, and I couldnt stand him for a VERY long time because thats all Id known from him.
Great great singer "I still can't remember all the best things she said"..
I love that Hendrix was a huge fan of Dylan
Well slap my biscuits and call me Bertha this is the best thing I've ever heard 💃🎶
Thwack! You have good taste, Bertha.
LMFAO. Good shit isint it.
You need to broaden your horizons, and I am a huge Dylan fan
@Jack Fletcher Broaden your own horizons Jacky Boy! Bertha's happy 😁 Let him be at one with the song 🥰
Bertha it's one of my best but this week it's I BELIEVE IN U.💘
On this album Scarlet's violin adds so much feeling and is beyond compare
Scarlet? You pretending you know who that is?
@@thomasmills339 Where do you get that idea dumbass ? Hell no I don't know her but that's her name . Keep your dumbass comments to yourself , you'll seem more intelligent that way .
its superb
Yes, and the duets with Bob's harmonica between verses really make the song feel like one big party, not unlike Billy Joel's "Piano Man."
I was 19 when I discovered this album. An absolut masterpiece.
I'm 19 and have discovered it now
Back in 1978 or 9 in a cheap apartment over a bar I first heard this whole album I loved it then and still do in 2022...
you got any cool stories? I kind of wish I was alive back then, if you have a fun anecdote or something, please share, if you like :]
A poet and a story teller.
A musical genius and true. ✌️
This is a genuine masterpiece. The vocals are equal to Miles Davis or Jimi Hendrix's expression on their respective instruments. Intonation, phrasing and sound colour are peerless. I could listen to this another thousand times never figure out how he did it. Every word, every phrase, every stanza oozes uniqueness and goes a long way to explaining why Bob would often improvise arrangements of what we know as his standards. I think, perhaps, he simply couldn't do carbon copies.
Strange thing is it really should be boring and repetitive. The same figure in 6/8 throughout the song, no choruses, no really special licks either by the violin or the harmonica. At first glance a recipe for a boring piece, but it's just hypnotizing, a song I can almost obsessively listen to over and over again. What a song.
@zoothornrollo tried to explain and he was definitely right and did it the best way, i'm unable to add something interesting to describe a masterpiece like this by a genius like this. One among a few others like Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix.
Not a fan of the mendacious "Hurricane" nor the sappy "Sara" other than those it's a great album but "Blood on the Tracks" is his best IMO
@@fasteddie9867 I'd take those two any day over Joey which is awful and ruins what otherwise is a great album. Plodding and over long (for me, two cardinal sins for a song) and like Lester Bangs said its repellent romanticist bullsht
@@IronManx70"Joey" is a classic. Cheers!
I grew up listening to Dylan. My pops played all of’em. The early stuff, later stuff, whatever. It was always on the record player (and later cassette) growing up. Everybody has their favorite Dylan album, and this one is mine. Lyrically, it just clicks with my life more than the others, and I love all his albums.
Yes, I think this one is my favorite as well. Blood on the Tracks is excellent, but specifically personal and thematic. I like the myriad of material explored here.
Lyrics.
I married Isis on the fifth day of May
But I could not hold on to her very long
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.
I came to a high place of darkness and light
The dividing line ran through the center of town
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.
A man in the corner approached me for a match
I knew right away he was not ordinary
He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?"
I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary".
We set out that night for the cold in the North
I gave him my blanket he gave me his word
I said "Where are we going ?" He said "We'd be back by the fourth"
I said "That's the best new that I've ever heard".
I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold
I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold
I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless.
How she told me that one day we meet up again
And things would be different the next time we wed
If I only could hang on and just be her friend
I still can't remember all the best things she said.
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
He said "There's a body I'm trying to find
If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"
It was then that I knew what he had on his mind.
The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious
But I made up my mind that I had to go on.
I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty
There was no jewels no nothing I felt I'd been had
When I saw that my partner was just being friendly
When I took up his offer I must-a been mad.
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.
She said, "Where ya been ?" I said, "No place special."
She said, "You look different." I said, "Well I guess."
She said, "You been gone," I said, "That's only natural."
She said, "You gonna stay ?" I said, "If you want me to, Yeah ".
Isis oh Isis you mystical child
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain.
Thanks for the lyrics ~ That's really Awesome of You to do this for one of My Favorite Songs 🎶
Close your eyes you can see this song in your mind
@@mikebarrett4649, don't need to close 'em.
You beautiful soul
It's perfect except I think the last line Is "in a dress out in the rain"
Another great Dylan epic song. Violin by Scarlet Rivera!
Ya she is great , so tru
I always wondered if dylan n her mightve had a lil thing goin on..but its never been confirmed
im annonymous
I don't know, but I think they had a little fling. Judge by her eyes, how she looked at him, I would definitely say yes. But Bob had so many women around him. Everybody wanted him. If I had been on that special road trip, I had wanted him too. Tell me who wouldn't...💜☮️☸️💜
Watch Rolling Thunder Revue on Netflix...great version of this song...more info. about Scarlet Rivera too!
@@imannonymous7707 he said clearly in the film that he kept his distance, but I think he did because I would have
...could be my favourite Dylan song... and that's saying something. A beautiful and symmetric mix of Egyptian and American mythology wrapped in a song about a love story that is so gosh-dang real.
Right. If it's not my favorite it's in the top 3.
I think the live version is even better!
Your description of a beautiful mix of Egyptian and American mythology wrapped in a song about a love story that is so gosh-dang real, wow what I felt but you said it!
His prose is like Western Civilizatiom Literature I read while in college
My first memory was blood on the tracks huge fan since desire fantastic . Great singer best lyrics ever saw him when he was 60 outstanding underated guitarist . I am 68.
One of the most underrated Dylan songs.
One of my favourite Dylan songs. I find it inspired and inspiring. For me the takeaway is to just keep on keeping on no matter what ordeals you face.
Amen. That to me means going alone most the time. Independent spirit
I remember back in mid '70s high school the football team getting drunk after a win at a party all breaking out into this song trying to get as far as they could into it. Freaking hilarious!
Dylan's trademark style of vocals along with his harmonca's interplay with the violin make this hauntingly driven song really great.
Hauntingly driven, yes.
The competition between Bob's harmonica and Scarlet's violin between verses definitely make this song feel like one big party!
My all time favorite Dylan song. A timeless gem indeed.
One of my all time favs of his too. So much so, as a young woman in the late 90s/early 2000s I'd actually liked the idea of naming any potential future daughter Isis. Then ISIS happen. So. Yeah.
absolutely the best, without question
Same❤️
Beyond Perfect.
@@kristyandcowreact Yeah, I was born in 1978. I had a dog named Isis who I got in 2006 who died a year ago today. I proudly told most everyone her name, even after the islamic state nonsense. Once in a while I'd just say her name was Isy.
That fiddle soothes my soul
Takes me to that wild unknown country
Scarlet Rivera ❤️
@@RhysPitman94 Indeed!
this is the kind of song Bob got the Nobel prize for.
Haven't listened to this, literally, in about 40 years. Liked it back then, think I love it now. Live long, Bob D.
Dylan is the GOAT. If you don't get it, then you don't. It says more about you than it does him. This is a fantastic song - and like someone said it could be or should be a movie." Isis, oh Isis you're a mystical child what drives me to you is what drives me insane..."
THIS CAT IS THE EPITOME OF STORYTELLING......HIS NOTES IN THIS PARTICULAR SONG IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
The song is in b flat and it's easy and very fun to play with Bob on harmonica or piano ... The lyrics and that haunting voice are what drives the song ... One of Bob's top five in my book ....
Desire was the first album I ever bought. I was eleven years old. I LOVE this music as much today as I did then. ISIS never fails to enthrall me.
no not in all caps
@@debusinha9015 haha!
Legend. Good memory
Allah Akbar!
The piano on this song makes me feel like I'm floating with no worries whatsoever!
I said "I ain't got no money He said That Ain't Necessary"
Lyric genius. Songwriting genius.
Now Bob it's time 2 🏃 🏃 🏃
I'll never forget a boyfriend of mine who was a musician playing this and saying he wished he could have the same genius where he didn't need a lot of words and the immense tonal richness with which he wanted to imbue his own music ... he was so right about that .
Its ALL genius. I hitched up my 🐎
yes.
..but l knew what he had on his mind..
I was named after this song! Thank you Bob. My father name was Bob also. He was a major hippie and just loved Bob Dylan’s music.
One of my favorite songs by Dylan (and not just because I was born “on the fifth day of May”!). A strange, spooky story of adventure and love. Virtually every verse sparkles with unique, emphatic, and often FUNNY vocal phrasings (at least they make ME smile/giggle.) Sweet strings from Scarlet Rivera. Devilish drum rolls by Howard Wyeth (who also plays the piano on this!).
Isis, oh Isis, you’re a mystical child. What drives me to you is what drives me insane. I still can remember the way that she smiled. On the fifth day of May, in the drizz-a-lin’ raaiiin…!
You get it! We notice the same things :-)
Do you get the feeling Isis would tell a slightly different story? 👸🫄👰🤠
Happy birthday!
@@TheKentuckyNightmare Thanks!
Bob is so great to listen to when you've been drinking.
Lol!!
'She said, where you been?
I said no place special.
She said, you look different.
I said, well, I guess.
She said, you been gone.
I said that's only natural.
She said are you going to stay?
I said, if you want me to,
Yes
'.That is 1 of the coolest verses I've ever heard!
Brilliance .... I guess
Redemption song right here.. we all got that mystical child in us.. sometimes we ditch it for an interesting character we form in our heads but we will always crave that feeling of home.. however far you get you can always make it back but you’ll have to go through a lot to leave the fake you behind. Songs amazing, best song writer of all time no contest..
I have no coment.....
YES.
My absolute favorite Dylan song.....from a long and distinguished career.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
Mine as well. His best story telling
Master Story teller, could listen to Dylan all day, everyday!
My favorite song by Bob Dylan
This and tangled up in blue are part of my life soundtrack my dad loved Dylan he passed away 2,yrs ago this song gives me awesome memories of him , love Dylan !!!
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Surely 'when he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious' is one of the best lines ever?
I think i rode back to Isis just to tell her lover her is great too
"I came in from the east, with the sun in my eyes. I cursed her one time, then I rode on ahead"
Makes me teary eyed every single time. Feels like time stops when I hear it.
Good line .. I wouldn’t say it was the best
I liked, “if you want me to, yeah”…that doesn’t happen every day
Its his phrasing and the way he delivers his words .if others don't appreciate his artisic poise and poetry then they are just not tuned into the Dylan.
I sing like Dylan on way to work n make up my own words to this tune.
I cycled to wrk in the dark n the cold
My brain it was young but my bones they are old
Hello Dear, how’re you doing today?
It’s nice meeting you on here
She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special”
She said, “You look different.” I said, “Well, I guess”
She said, “You've been gone.” I said, “That’s only natural”
She said, “You gonna stay?” I said, “If ya want me to; yes!”
stunning!
man of few words
I love how Bob doesn't even answer direct questions in his songs haha
@@ravenbuscus4416 You've seen the Netflix movie too? :D
@@jensmueller7483 That's exactly what drew me here. That performance of Isis is just electric. Dylan just sneering and spitting the lyrics out, with the amazing musicians behind him pushing him and pushing him.
I knew right away he was not ordinary
Greatest American Americana artist ever. He is an American treasure.
Greatest rock American artist.
@@paranoidplane9799 not rock but great
@@calvincrane He's Folk rock mate. It's common knowledge by now
Listen to Bobby for the best part of 40 years now the greatest songwriter ever lived 👍🎸😎🏴
I might never be able to understand how anyone can capture thought, impressions, emotions, like this man has been able to. Just fabulous.
JUNE 26 2019....BOBBY IS STILL CREATING MYSTICAL MUSIC......GODBLESS HIM AND HIS DESTINY....HE HAS .GIVEN MY 71-YEAR-OLD LIFE GREAT MEANING....SINCE 1965....GENIUS WITH A HUGE VOLUME OF FINE MUSIC......CUSOON
Yes. And Rough and Rowdy Ways is among his finest - and he'll be 80 in a few weeks. Let's have a party!!!!!!
Finally the real original studio version. Thanks, Bob! (just a fan from Brazil)
This is Bob. You're welcome. I really appreciate that.
@@flexibilitymanager Is it slowed down at all? Thanks........
Hell yeah
brazil!! god bless
@@jesselee4405 no, don't think so. Original rendition as it is on Desire.
I will be listening to this on the 5th of May and on any other day of the year 💜
The Maiden i thought it was only me for this and now🙀💦 ok..- here...-🌞!
Well said
I know a girl named Isis, named after this song because she was born on the fifth day of May. They changed her name because of world events, actually uses her middle name now.
@@max61203 literally the best comment i have ever read in my entire life
Very funny but he could not hold on to her very long. LOL
Bob never disappoints. Another gem 💎
Bob is singing his ass off when he hits that, “But I made up my mind that I had to go on..” 🍻
The world's biggest necklace. Love that lyric. Thank you Bob, you have always been there for me
I’m 65 and have seen many of the great musical artists of our time…Tony Bennett , Grateful Dead, Paul McCartney, U2, Miles Davis ! Gary Burton, Doc Watson…..you get it…but Dylan singing “ISIS” at The Rolling Thunder Revue in New Haven CT was the greatest musical experience of my life…
Dylan's vocal delivery on this song is one of the great tour de forces in all of rock music. Song reminds me of being super stoned and driving to the Huntington Library with my sister and her friend about 25 years ago.
Fuck drugs and fuck driving impaired. Song is awesome.
Sometimes the real treasure is the people we left behind.
You just blew my mind
I rode back to find Isis to tell her that i love her.. epic songwriting
This man's music has changed my life simple I love it
And the classics just keep on a comin'
One of the greatest stories that I ever heard
Here's Dylan with his Rockin vocals and a lyrical picasso that he wrote.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
I'm 68 years old, still listen to very little else but Dylan The Master.....👍😎😊
Another Dylan song that I wish wouldn't end.
Commensurate story teller. Genius poet. Spokesman for the age.
Anytime I'm feeling a little low or a little old I come back to Isis to remind me I had a lively life and I keep on going, thanks Bob
This song just keeps you wanting more. This song and Senor are my two favorites from this legend.
Mozambique, my place of birth, described from the poets point of view with such accuracy that my heart longs for a past I will never be able to re-live.
I visited your country several times in the 1990s, such a lovely place, unfortunately so many problems. Beautiful people, those beaches, Bazaruto, Vilanculos, Inhambane, so many placed did I visit in those halcyon days. Greetings, keep well.
My dad had all of the Bob Dylan albums when I was growing up. He also had the Beatles, Kingston Trio, Nat King Cole, Stan Getz. I never got into Dylan. Later on, as a young teen, I bought this album. It blew my mind. Emmylou and the violin. The songs, especially Isis.
I like a lot of music but with Dylan it's hard to put into words what his meant to me in my teen years in the 70's. It's just .... I can't explain ....
Emmy Lou is by far one of the greatest singers to ever accompany Dylan. They have a chemistry that creates pure magic with plenty many peace and love
2:11 "I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless" I LOVE THAT PART. Thanks Bobby
Things will be different the next time we wed. An entirely outrageous and contagious song. A bloody masterpiece of perfection in this performance. Could listen to this all day as I rode through the canyon. Scarlet Rivera is swell. This kinda stuff drives me insane. But in a good way. One day we will meet up again.... Aine 💕🌹❤️💜☘️👠🍯🦋🌸🌻💍
nicely done my friend....... if ya want me to,,,,, yeah.
Only Bob can come up with this stuff over and over lots of stuff going on in his head how does the man sleep how?????????????????
One of my favourites I like the sound of the album "Desire" and the voice of Bob in it
Dylan's best album 👌
This album definitely features some of his greatest vocals
Man the poetry
Amazing cruising tune.........driving out east in 1978 on the Long Island Expressway by myself in my '68 Pontiac LeMans in the middle of the summer at 2:00 AM and listening to this Dylan classic when I was a philosophy major at LIU. It all just seemed so right back then and at that time.
"Once there was a way to get back homeward -- once there was a way to get back home." McCartney
Robbie Stoner and Howie Wyeth bass & drums..RIP Howie we loved you!
TJ Colatrella I love his feel.
What An Amazing Tune.
The love for our greatest living artist in the comments is palpable. We know he’s unmatched, right up there with Picasso and Shakespeare, easily one of the best artists of all time.
Sounds about yt
Best album of his. Cover is great too, sooooo "Bob".
Dylan doesn't sing songs, he sings movies.
yepp
His words make the movie that makes the music that make the song that make the story that make the soundtrack... Or maybe the other way around?😁
That's a good one
What a great vocal. An epic song; Egyptology meets New Testament. I was a kid in the 1960's but this was my time for discovering Dylan. How can one man write so many extraordinary songs? Someone should tell it simply isn't possible, Robin Witting
Especially since he is STILL DOING IT.
Special place in my heart in this song. Talk about putting your soal into a song. Pure class..
Toutaly
Thanks dad for showing me this music as a kid growing up. And teaching me slang. And what a blanket is 😅
That was the 1rst Dylan album I remember my mom playing. And that was the first verse I fell in love with. It's still my favorite
finally on YT. One of the most beautiful songs ever written/recorded. So mystical. TY, Bob!
Another gem ... Somebody told Bob he could write songs ...
Alot of control,hi,and lo notes,both.i can't hit neither.gifted w writing,music too ~
I know this song word for word like many others it's so infectious love it.You have a great taste in music you sexi beast.
Same here.
Every time I hear the word "Isis" this song starts up in my head.
One of best 70's songs. Hypnotic, powerful and so intense. Vibration of bliss and inspiration..Oh Bob...
All Bobs songs are hypnotic...Somewhere in my collection I have an Answerphone message he recorded for a friend of his and it's great.
Find, if you can, the Spitting Image Dylan song about CHEESE.
"Cheese...The expensive kind...Smells just like a dog's behind".
Love the violin 🎻
There isn’t any other vocal that could do justice to his lyrics.
I married Isis on the fifth day of May
But I could not hold on to her very long
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
I came to a high place of darkness and light
The dividing line ran through the center of town
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down
A man in the corner approached me for a match
I knew right away he was not ordinary
He said, “Are you lookin’ for somethin’ easy to catch?”
I said, “I got no money.” He said, “That ain’t necessary”
We set out that night for the cold in the North
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word
I said, “Where are we goin’?” He said we’d be back by the fourth
I said, “That’s the best news that I’ve ever heard”
I was thinkin’ about turquoise, I was thinkin’ about gold
I was thinkin’ about diamonds and the world’s biggest necklace
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
I was thinkin’ about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless
How she told me that one day we would meet up again
And things would be different the next time we wed
If I only could hang on and just be her friend
I still can’t remember all the best things she said
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
He said, “There’s a body I’m tryin’ to find
If I carry it out it’ll bring a good price”
’Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind
The wind it was howlin’ and the snow was outrageous
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
When he died I was hopin’ that it wasn’t contagious
But I made up my mind that I had to go on
I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty
There was no jewels, no nothin’, I felt I’d been had
When I saw that my partner was just bein’ friendly
When I took up his offer I must-a been mad
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead
She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special”
She said, “You look different.” I said, “Well, not quite”
She said, “You been gone.” I said, “That’s only natural”
She said, “You gonna stay?” I said, “Yeah, I jes might”
Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin’ rain
Dude you really blewwwww the lyrics. EEEEEshhhhhhhhhhhhh
The lyrics are also right there in the description.
@@vividhkothari1 The lyrics in the description are wrong.
She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special”
She said, “You look different.” I said, “Well, i guess”
She said, “You been gone.” I said, “That’s only natural”
She said, “You gonna stay?” I said, “if you want me to, yes”
Oresome, on the 5th day of May, but he could not hold on to her very long.
The best song of 70's
yep!
Masterpiece 😍
A forgotten wonderful Dylan Classic.. Hypnotic, intense, ironic stream of consciousness..Oh great
I've got most of his Albums but this will always be my favourite
After all these years- Bob Dylan on You Tube. Used to be known as "Elston Gunn". ;-)
I bought the desire album in 76 on vinyl.. It's been played to death.. I've also got the cd in my car right now also being played to death
There's a bit of charm to that. Jsut like old photos. Nothing seems to get as real as those. No one will convince me that the quality is better now.
Bob Dylan is King for this Master universel Blues Sound.Blues Riders back again.☮ ✌
His best voice
Yes. His best voice.
