Tough mama lyrics

Artist  : Bob dylan 
Song : Tough mama
 
Tough mama 
Meat shaking on your bones
I'm gonna go down to the river and get some
stones
Sister's on the highway with that steel drivin'
crew
Papa's in the big house, his working days are
through
Tough mama 
Can I blow a little smoke on you.

Dark beauty 
Won't you move it on over and make somme room ?
It's my duty to bring you down to the field where
the flowers bloom
Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise
You came through it all the way flying through
the skies
Dark beauty 
With that long night's journey in you eyes.

Sweet Goddess 
Born of a blinding light and a changing wind
Now don't be modest, you know who you are and
where you've been
Jack, the cowboy, went up north, he's buried in
your past
The lone wolf went out drinking, that was over
pretty fast
Sweet Goddess 
Your perfect stranger's coming in at last.

Silver angel 
With the badge of the lonesome road written on
your sleeve
I'd be grateful if this golden ring you would
receive
Today on the countryside it was a hotter than a
crotch
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was
watch
Sweet Goddess 
It must be time to carve another notch.

I'm crestfallen 
The world of illusion is at my door
I ain't a-haulin' any of my lambs to the
marketplace anymore
The prison walls are crumbling, there is no end
in sight
I've gained some recognition but I lost my
appetite
Sweet beauty 
Meet me at the border late tonight.
