Ballad of Ira Hayes

Indian Marine
Raises Iwo Jima flag,
Goes home, drinks and dies.

Ballad of Hollis Brown

Hollis kills his kids
And himself. They were starving.
Better dead than poor.

Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest

Frankie Lee scrounges.
Judas lets him -- to a point.
Then he's had enough.

Ballad of Donald White

White is a criminal,
Bound to be bad. Bob says it's
Society's fault.

Ballad of a Thin Man

Squares, hipsters, freaks, cows
And dwarfs freak out Mr. Jones,
An ignorant man.

Ballad in Plain D

Bob loves one sister.
The other is a wild bitch.
They fight. Bob leaves. End.

Ballad for a Friend

My friend went out West.
He left home on a truck, but
Came home in a box.

Back Door Blues

You would be blue too
If your girl split, and then a
Big coffin arrived.

Baby Won't You Be My Baby

Bob sees troubling signs
Of unrest, but keeps hitting
On a girl he likes.

Baby What Do You Want Me to Do?

I do everything
That you ask me to do, girl.
Why you want to leave?

Baby Stop Cryin'

Some asshole hurt you,
But I'll love you. Come to me,
But please be quiet.

Baby Please Don't Go

New Orleans: You know
It's a place where Bob would
Prefer you don't go.

Baby Let Me Follow You Down

I'll do what you want.
I'll follow you to your house.
Be my girlfriend.

Baby I'm in the Mood for You

I want you so bad
Sometimes. Other times I want to
Try some other things.

Baby Ain't That Fine

This song compares love
To good fried food, Georgia pines,
Birds, bells and sunshine.

As I Went out One Morning

Dylan is seduced
By the American dream.
Tom Paine rescues him.

Arthur McBride

Arthur and cousin
Won't fight in France. They clobber
The draft recruiter.

Around and Around

That joint was rockin'.
It always happens when you
Play Chuck Berry songs.

Are You Ready?

Bob's warning you, hoss.
You'd better get ready now.
The Messiah's near.

Apple Suckling Tree

A scary child's song.
Apple trees and men on hooks,
And bats straight from hell.
