Bob Dylan - Kingsport Town


The wind the wing is blowing strong
My hands they got no gloves
I wish to my soul that I could see
The girl I'm a-thinking of

Don't you remember me babe
I remembre you quite well
You caused me to leave old Kingsport Town
With a high sheriff on my trail

High sheriff on my trail, boys
High sheriff on my trail
All because I'm falling for
A curly-headed dark-eyed girl

Who's a-gonna stroke your cold black hair
And sandy colored skin
Who's a-gonna kiss your Menphis lips
When I'm out in the wind
When I'm out in the wind, babe
When I'm out in the wind
Who's a-gonna kiss your Memphis mouth
When I'm out in the wind
Who's a-gonna walk you side by side
And tell you everything's alright
Who's a-gonna sing to you all day long
And not just in the night
Who's a-gonna walk you side by side
Who's a-gonna be your man
Who's a-gonna look you straight in the eye
And hold your bad luck hand

Hold your bad luck hand, babe
Hold your bad luck hand
Who's a-gonna hold your hard luck hand
And who's a-gonna be your man
The wind the wind is blowing strong
My hands they got no gloves
I wish to my song I could see
The girl I'm a-thinking of



The wind the wing is blowing strong
My hands they got no gloves
I wish to my soul that I could see
The girl I'm a-thinking of

Don't you remember me babe
I remembre you quite well
You caused me to leave old Kingsport Town
With a high sheriff on my trail

High sheriff on my trail, boys
High sheriff on my trail
All because I'm falling for
A curly-headed dark-eyed girl

Who's a-gonna stroke your cold black hair
And sandy colored skin
Who's a-gonna kiss your Menphis lips
When I'm out in the wind
When I'm out in the wind, babe
When I'm out in the wind
Who's a-gonna kiss your Memphis mouth
When I'm out in the wind
Who's a-gonna walk you side by side
And tell you everything's alright
Who's a-gonna sing to you all day long
And not just in the night
Who's a-gonna walk you side by side
Who's a-gonna be your man
Who's a-gonna look you straight in the eye
And hold your bad luck hand

Hold your bad luck hand, babe
Hold your bad luck hand
Who's a-gonna hold your hard luck hand
And who's a-gonna be your man
The wind the wind is blowing strong
My hands they got no gloves
I wish to my song I could see
The girl I'm a-thinking of


Bob Dylan - Kingsport Town (1962 Freewheelin' Outtake)

Kingsport Town (Live, Solo, Acoustic)

This is a traditional song that has been performed by numerous artists. I believe that the first time i heard it was on Bob Dylan's first Bootleg Series compilation.

"Kingsport Town" (Traditional)

This is one of my all-time favorites. It's about love and how hatred borne of bigotry destroys it. "All because I've fallen for a curly-headed dark-eyed gal.
