Absolutely Sweet Marie

Absolutely Sweet Marie (絕對可愛的瑪麗) - Bob Dylan

Well your railroad gauge

You know I just can't jump it

Sometimes it gets so hard you see

I'm just sitting here beating

On my trumpet

With all these promises you left for me

But where are you tonight

Sweet Marie

Well

I waited for you

When I was half sick

Yes I waited for you

When you hated me

Well

I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic

When you knew

I had some other place to be

Now where are you tonight

Sweet Marie

Well anybody can be just like me

But then now again

Not too many can be like you fortunately

Well six white horses

That you did promise

Were fin'lly delivered

Down to the penitentiary

But to live outside the law

You must be honest

I know you always say that you agree

But where are you tonight

Sweet Marie

Well I don't know

How it happened

But the river-boat captain

He knows my fate

But ev'rybody else even yourself

They're just gonna have to wait

Well

I got the fever down in my pockets

The Persian drunkard he follows me

Yes I can take him to your house

But I can't unlock it

You see you forgot to

Leave me with the key

Oh where are you tonight

Sweet Marie

Now I been in jail

When all my mail showed

That a man can't give his address

Out to bad company

And now I stand here lookin'

At your yellow railroad

In the ruins of your balcony

Wond'ring where you are tonight sweet Marie
