Bob Dylan ~ Highwater (for Charlie Patton)


Words and music by bob dylan Highwater risin', rising night and day All the gold and silver are being stolen away Big joe turner looking east and west from the dark room of his mind He made it to kansas city, twelfth street and vine Nothin' standing there Highwater everywhere Highwater rising the shacks are sliding down Folks lose their possessions, the folks are leaving town Reformation shook it, broke it, then she hung it on the wall Say you dancin' with whom they tell you to or you don't dance at all It's tough out there Highwater everywhere I got a craven love for blazin' speed I got a hopped up mustang ford Jump into the wagon, love Throw your panties overboard I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind I'm no pig without a wig, i hope you treat me kind Things are breakin' up out there Highwater everywhere Highwater rising, six inches above my head Coffins droppin' in the street like balloons made out of lead Water poured into vicksburg, don't know what i'm gonna do Don't reach out for me, she said, can't you see i'm drowning too It's rough out there Highwater everywhere Well, george lewes told the englishman, the italian and the jew You can't open up your mind, boys, to every conceivable point of view They got charles darwin trapped out there on highway 5 Judge says to the high sheriff, i want them dead or alive Either one, i don't care Highwater everywhere Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies I'm preachin' the word of god, i'm puttin' out your eyes I asked fat nancy for someth'n' to eat, she said take it off the shelf As great as you are man, you'll never be greater than yourself I told her i didn't really care Highwater everywhere I get up in the mornin', i believe i'll dust my broom Keepin' away from the women, i'm givin' them lots of room Thunder rollin' over clarksdale, everythin' a-lookin' blue I just can't be happy, love, unless you're happy too It's bad out there Highwater everywhere more free lyrics

Words and music by bob dylan

Highwater risin', rising night and day
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big joe turner looking east and west from the dark room of his mind
He made it to kansas city, twelfth street and vine
Nothin' standing there
Highwater everywhere

Highwater rising the shacks are sliding down
Folks lose their possessions, the folks are leaving town
Reformation shook it, broke it, then she hung it on the wall
Say you dancin' with whom they tell you to or you don't dance at all
It's tough out there
Highwater everywhere

I got a craven love for blazin' speed
I got a hopped up mustang ford
Jump into the wagon, love
Throw your panties overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind
I'm no pig without a wig, i hope you treat me kind
Things are breakin' up out there
Highwater everywhere

Highwater rising, six inches above my head
Coffins droppin' in the street like balloons made out of lead
Water poured into vicksburg, don't know what i'm gonna do
Don't reach out for me, she said, can't you see i'm drowning too
It's rough out there
Highwater everywhere

Well, george lewes told the englishman, the italian and the jew
You can't open up your mind, boys, to every conceivable point of view
They got charles darwin trapped out there on highway 5
Judge says to the high sheriff, i want them dead or alive
Either one, i don't care
Highwater everywhere

Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
I'm preachin' the word of god, i'm puttin' out your eyes
I asked fat nancy for someth'n' to eat, she said take it off the shelf
As great as you are man, you'll never be greater than yourself
I told her i didn't really care
Highwater everywhere

I get up in the mornin', i believe i'll dust my broom
Keepin' away from the women, i'm givin' them lots of room
Thunder rollin' over clarksdale, everythin' a-lookin' blue
I just can't be happy, love, unless you're happy too
It's bad out there
Highwater everywhere

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
