[00:00.00]Tin Angel - Bob Dylan
[00:07.16]Written by：Bob Dylan
[00:14.33]It was late last night when the boss came home
[00:18.04]To a deserted mansion and a desolate throne
[00:21.20]
[00:21.73]Servant said Boss the lady's gone
[00:25.21]She left this morning just 'fore dawn
[00:28.31]
[00:32.09]You got something to tell me tell it to me man
[00:35.31]
[00:36.05]Come to the point as straight as you can
[00:39.47]Old Henry Lee chief of the clan
[00:42.42]
[00:42.95]Came riding through the woods and took her by the hand
[00:46.15]
[00:50.14]The boss he lay back flat on his bed
[00:53.63]He cursed the heat and he clutched his head
[00:56.58]
[00:57.12]He pondered the future of his fate
[01:00.28]
[01:00.87]To wait another day would be far too late
[01:03.82]
[01:07.93]Go fetch me my coat and my tie
[01:11.29]And the cheapest labor that money can buy
[01:14.31]
[01:15.00]Saddle me up my buckskin mare
[01:18.50]If you see me go by put up a prayer
[01:21.56]
[01:25.52]Well they rode all night and they rode all day
[01:28.38]
[01:29.22]Eastward long down the broad highway
[01:32.16]
[01:32.77]His spirit was tired and his vision was bent
[01:35.74]
[01:36.30]His men deserted him and onward he went
[01:39.24]
[01:43.54]He came to a place where the light was dull
[01:47.02]His forehead pounding in his skull
[01:50.62]Heavy heart was racked with pain
[01:54.01]Insomnia raging in his brain
[01:57.11]
[02:01.03]Well he threw down his helmet and his cross-handled sword
[02:04.62]He renounced his faith he denied his Lord
[02:07.60]
[02:08.57]Crawled on his belly put his ear to the wall
[02:11.78]One way or another put an end to it all
[02:14.97]
[02:19.52]He leaned down cut the electric wire
[02:21.97]
[02:22.67]Stared into the flames and he snorted the fire
[02:25.41]
[02:26.43]Peered through the darkness caught a glimpse of the two
[02:29.12]
[02:29.77]It was hard to tell for certain who was who
[02:32.78]
[02:36.80]He lowered himself down on a golden chain
[02:39.64]
[02:40.32]His nerves were quaking in every vein
[02:43.18]
[02:43.75]His knuckles were bloody he sucked in the air
[02:47.37]He ran his fingers through his greasy hair
[02:50.34]
[02:54.64]They looked at each other and their glasses clinked
[02:57.52]
[02:58.09]One single unit inseparably linked
[03:01.47]Got a strange premonition there's a man close by
[03:05.25]Don't worry about him he wouldn't harm a fly
[03:08.32]
[03:12.21]From behind the curtain the boss he crossed the floor
[03:15.28]
[03:15.80]He moved his feet and he bolted the door
[03:18.87]
[03:19.52]Shadows hiding the lines in his face
[03:22.98]With all the nobility of an ancient race
[03:25.99]
[03:30.10]She turned she was startled with a look of surprise
[03:33.49]With a hatred that could hit the skies
[03:37.06]You're a reckless fool I could see it in your eyes
[03:40.76]To come this way was by no means wise
[03:43.82]
[03:48.17]Get up stand up you greedy-lipped wench
[03:51.38]And cover your face or suffer the consequence
[03:54.83]You are making my heart feel sick
[03:58.53]Put your clothes back on double-quick
[04:01.33]
[04:05.72]Silly boy you think me a saint
[04:08.67]
[04:09.22]I'll listen no more to your words of complaint
[04:12.06]
[04:12.84]You've given me nothing but the sweetest lies
[04:15.45]
[04:16.34]Now hold your tongue and feed your eyes
[04:19.17]
[04:23.28]I'd have given you the stars and the planets too
[04:26.89]But what good would these things do you
[04:30.50]Bow the heart if not the knee
[04:33.26]
[04:34.03]Or never again this world you'll see
[04:37.12]
[04:41.05]Oh please let not your heart be cold
[04:44.06]
[04:44.58]This man is dearer to me than gold
[04:47.90]
[04:48.48]Oh my dear you must be blind
[04:51.19]
[04:51.75]He's a gutless ape with a worthless mind
[04:54.92]
[04:58.88]You've had your way too long with me
[05:02.42]Now it's me who'll determine how things shall be
[05:05.60]
[05:06.13]Try to escape he cussed and cursed
[05:09.58]You'll have to try to get past me first
[05:12.72]
[05:16.88]Do not let your passion rule
[05:20.33]You think my heart the heart of a fool
[05:23.31]
[05:23.89]And you sir you can not deny
[05:27.10]You made a monkey of me what and for why
[05:30.36]
[05:34.40]I'll have no more of this insulting chat
[05:38.04]The devil can have you I'll see to that
[05:41.45]
[05:42.12]Look sharp or step aside
[05:44.68]
[05:45.26]Or in the cradle you'll wish you'd died
[05:48.26]
[05:52.43]The gun went boom and the shot rang clear
[05:55.89]First bullet grazed his ear
[05:59.03]
[05:59.91]Second ball went right straight in
[06:02.85]And he bent in the middle like a twisted pin
[06:06.08]
[06:10.20]He crawled to the corner and he lowered his head
[06:13.15]
[06:13.77]He gripped the chair and he grabbed the bed
[06:17.49]It would take more than needle and thread
[06:20.69]Bleeding from the mouth he's as good as dead
[06:23.65]
[06:27.73]You shot my husband down you fiend
[06:31.40]Husband What husband What the hell do you mean
[06:34.67]He was a man of strife a man of sin
[06:38.35]I cut him down and I threw him to the wind
[06:41.83]
[06:49.33]This she said with angry breath
[06:52.64]You too shall meet the lord of death
[06:56.15]It was I who brought your soul to life
[06:59.75]Then she raised her robe and she drew out a knife
[07:03.06]
[07:06.89]His face was hard and caked with sweat
[07:09.95]
[07:10.62]His arms ached and his hands were wet
[07:13.97]You're a murderous queen and a bloody wife
[07:16.81]
[07:17.55]If you don't mind I'll have the knife
[07:20.58]
[07:24.93]We're two of a kind and our blood runs hot
[07:28.23]But we're no way similar in body or thought
[07:31.25]
[07:31.95]All husbands are good men as all wives know
[07:35.30]Then she pierced him to the heart and his blood did flow
[07:38.65]
[07:42.73]His knees went limp and he reached for the door
[07:46.11]His tomb was sealed he slid to the floor
[07:49.08]
[07:49.75]He whispered in her ear This is all your fault
[07:53.18]My fighting days have come to a halt
[07:56.70]
[08:00.41]She touched his lips and kissed his cheek
[08:03.23]
[08:03.97]He tried to speak but his breath was weak
[08:06.89]
[08:07.50]You died for me now I'll die for you
[08:10.65]She put the blade to her heart and she ran it through
[08:14.12]
[08:18.47]All three lovers together in a heap
[08:21.11]
[08:21.62]Thrown into the grave forever to sleep
[08:24.64]
[08:25.46]Funeral torches blazed away
[08:28.15]
[08:28.67]Through the towns and the villages all night and all day
