Intro
(hammering onto the 4th string
at the 2nd fret)
Verse 1
You must leave now, take what
you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep,
you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with
his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are coming
through
And it's all over now, Baby
Blue.
Verse 2
The highway is for gamblers,
better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from
coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from
your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on
your sheets.
The sky, too, is folding under
you
And it's all over now, Baby
Blue.
Verse 3
All your seasick sailors, they
are rowing home.
Your empty handed armies,
they're all going home.
Your lover who just walked out
the door
Has taken all his blankets from
the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under
you
And it's all over now, Baby
Blue.
Harmonica Solo
Verse 4
Leave your stepping stones
behind, now something that calls
for you.
Forget the dead you've left,
they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at
your door
Is standing in the clothes that
you once wore.
Strike another match, go start
anew
And it's all over now, Baby
Blue.
