  • Well you're coming down High Street
    Walking in the sun
    You make a dead man rise and holler she's the one

    Jolene
    Jolene
    Baby I am the king and you're the queen

    Well it's a long old highway
    Don't ever end
    I got a Saturday Night Special, I'm back again
    I'll sleep by your door, lay my life on the line
    You probably don't know but I'm gonna make you mine

    Jolene
    Jolene
    Baby I am the king and you is the queen

    I keep my hands in my pocket
    I'm movin' along
    People think they know, but they're all wrong
    You're something nice, I'm gonna bet my dice
    I can't say I haven't paid the price

    Jolene
    Jolene
    Baby I am the king and you is the queen

    Well I found out the hard way
    I've had my fill
    You can't fight somebody with his back to a hill
    Those big brown eyes, they set off a spark
    If you hold me in your arms, things don't look so dark

    Jolene
    Jolene
    Baby I am the king and you is the queen Writer/s: BOB DYLAN, ROBERT HUNTER

  • Al Clarke from Mccoll, ScThe best of all
  • Raymond Bullock from Somerset Tasmania Australia would like to compliment the greatest singer/ songwriter the world will ever see
  • Fred from Laurel, MdRegarding Flanagan's query: I don't know about nowadays, but back in the 60's, anyway, anyone expecting a straight answer to a straight question posed to Dylan was literally on a fool's errand, because he/she was about to made a fool of by RZ, aka BD.
