False Prophet
WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN
1.
Another day that don't end - another ship going out
Another day of anger - bitterness and doubt
I know how it happened - I saw it begin
I opened my heart to the world and the world came in
2.
Hello Mary Lou - Hello Miss Pearl
My fleet footed guides from the underworld
No stars in the sky shine brighter than you
You girls mean business and I do too
3.
Well, I’m the enemy of treason - the enemy of strife
I’m the enemy of the unlived meaningless life
I ain’t no false prophet - I just know what I know
I go where only the lonely can go
4.
I’m first among equals - second to none
I’m last of the best - you can bury the rest
Bury ’em naked with their silver and gold
Put ’em six feet under and then pray for their souls
5.
What are you lookin’ at - there’s nothing to see
Just a cool breeze that's encircling me
Let’s go walk in the garden - so far and so wide
We can sit in the shade by the fountain side
6.
I’ve searched the world over for the Holy Grail
I sing songs of love - I sing songs of betrayal
Don’t care what I drink - I don’t care what I eat
I climbed the mountain of swords on my bare feet
7.
You don’t know me darlin’ - you never would guess
I’m nothing like my ghostly appearance would suggest
I ain’t no False Prophet - I just said what I said
I’m here to bring vengeance on somebody’s head
Another day that don't end - another ship going out
Another day of anger - bitterness and doubt
I know how it happened - I saw it begin
I opened my heart to the world and the world came in
2.
Hello Mary Lou - Hello Miss Pearl
My fleet footed guides from the underworld
No stars in the sky shine brighter than you
You girls mean business and I do too
3.
Well, I’m the enemy of treason - the enemy of strife
I’m the enemy of the unlived meaningless life
I ain’t no false prophet - I just know what I know
I go where only the lonely can go
4.
I’m first among equals - second to none
I’m last of the best - you can bury the rest
Bury ’em naked with their silver and gold
Put ’em six feet under and then pray for their souls

8.
Put out your hand - there’s nothin’ to hold
Open your mouth - I’ll stuff it with gold
Oh you poor Devil - look up if you will
The City of God is there on the hill
9.
Hello stranger - Hello and goodbye
You rule the land but so do I
You lusty old mule - you got a poisoned brain
I’ll marry you to a ball and chain
10.
You know darlin’ the kind of life that I live
When your smile meets my smile - something's got to give
I ain’t no false prophet - nah, I’m nobody’s bride
Can’t remember when I was born and I forgot when I died
Put out your hand - there’s nothin’ to hold
Open your mouth - I’ll stuff it with gold
Oh you poor Devil - look up if you will
The City of God is there on the hill
9.
Hello stranger - Hello and goodbye

I ain’t no false prophet - nah, I’m nobody’s bride
Can’t remember when I was born and I forgot when I died
