  • Ain't it hard to stumble
    And land in some funny lagoon
    Ain't it hard to stumble
    And land in some muddy lagoon
    Especially when it's nine below zero
    And three o'clock in the afternoon

    Ain't gonna hang no picture
    Ain't gonna hang no picture frame
    Ain't gonna hang no picture
    Ain't gonna hang no picture frame
    Well, I might look like Robert Ford
    But I feel just like a Jesse James

    Well, I wish I was on some
    Australian mountain range
    Oh, I wish I was on some
    Australian mountain range
    I got no reason to be there, but I
    Imagine it would be some kind of change

    I got my dark sunglasses
    I got for good luck my black tooth
    I got my dark sunglasses
    I'm carryin' for good luck my black tooth
    Don't ask me nothin' about nothin'
    I just might tell you the truth

    I got a woman in Jackson
    I ain't gonna say her name
    I got a woman in Jackson
    I ain't gonna say her name
    She's a brown-skin woman
    But I love her just the same Writer/s: Bob Dylan
