Bob Dylan - Tell Me, Momma Lyrics
Ol' black Bascom, don't break no mirrors
Cold black water dog, make no tears
You say you love me with what may be love
Don't you remember makin' baby love?
Got your steam drill built and you're lookin' for some kid
But I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind
Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?
Hey, John, come and get me some candy goods
Shucks, it sure feels like it's in the woods
You got tombstone moose up and your grave-yard whips
If you're anxious to find out when your friendship's gonna end
Come on, baby, I'm your friend!
And I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind
Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?
Ohh, we bone the editor, can't get read
But his painted sled, instead it's a bed
Yes, I see you on your window ledge
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
And, anyway, you're just gonna make people jump and roar
Watcha wanna go and do that for?
For I know that you know that I know that you know
Something is tearing up your mind
Ah, tell me, momma
Tell me, momma
Tell me, momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?

Bob Dylan Tell Me, Momma Comments
as everybody knows by now, not Royal Albert Hall but some hall in Manchester
don't throw your love away for just a kiss!
Can you imagine this in 1966!
This man is absolutely brilliant and way, way ahead of all of the rest.
And to think I had the great privilege to see Bob perform many times. Sometimes fate has a way of smiling down upon you.
And that 9 lb hammer is just a little too heavy for my size, for my size - why would I get a jackhammer? Are you talking about my vibrator in public again Bob?
I mean, you are the one who asked for it Bob- is this not correct? But if you already knew what happened, why did you ask?
He did it to boo's all the way around the world for an entire year.....damn , what a role model.
This sounds like Donovan
Can someone help me and tell me what he is saying at 1:39 to 1:47 please ? All the lyrics I can found are different -_-
I just think of a riot with this song. Before Sex Pistols, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motörhead, Metallica ad many bands more that followed the rebel line, before all them was Bob Dylan yeah
Such an underrated song of his! Probably my favorite rocker of his. I just get goosebumps from Robertson's solo at 2:50.
The greatest artist ever
IAdore this song along with sitting on a barbed wire fence and I wanna be your lover fabulous music the greatest musican/poet of all time timeless priceless I also love can you please crawl out your window But Sad eyed lady of the lowland is the greatest song ever written A masive Thank you Sir Bob
Amen to that!
Defiant Dylan !
Cold black glass don't make no mirror
Cold black water don't make no tears
You say you love me with what may be love
Don't you remember makin' baby love?
Yes, you got your steam drill,
now you're lookin' for some kid
To get it to work for you
like your nine-pound hammer did
But I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind.
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?
Black sun-glass [came here, pony run] *)
Tombstone babes, y'all can get it done
Fool's gold in your teeth and cementary hips
Get outside of your graveyard lips
Yes, everybody's wonderin'
when your friendship's gonna end
But come on, baby, I'm your friend!
And I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind. **)
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?
[Solo (without capo):]
Ohh, [you're pleasing?] but your face is red
That ain't he can't get it, he's almost dead.
Everybody sees you on your window ledge
How long's it gonna take for your to get off the edge
You just gonna make everybody jump and roar
Now, whatcha wanna go and do that for?
For I know that you know that I know that you know
Something is tearing up your mind.
Ah, tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?
Totally underrated lyrics and song!
Bob lenda
ça déchire! C'est du Punk avant l'heure!
WOW !!!
Electric. ⚡
it really says something about the talent and infuence of bob when people got so angry about his change in direction there has never been another artist that faced that kind of hostility for a change of musical style. it's crazy this music brilliant music faced so much disdain but at the same time the 1966 live recordings are some if not thee most sought after live recordings ever. who thought 1966 mono soundboards would sound that good.
It's the first 'punk rock'.
Exquisite
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHAA I'M JUST SO GLAD TO BE ALIVE LISTENING TO BOB DYLAN'S SONGS
The opening strumming by Dylan reminds me of "Traveling Riverside Blues" by Robert Johnson. Anyone else hear it or is it just me?
Wow, you're spot on! No doubt he was inspired by Johnson.
Cooooooooooooool!!!
Stronger than heroin
Haha, agreed.
and the 21st
the genius of the 20th century
Agreed!
Robbie Robertson's guitar fucking smokes
Amo esta canción que usó solamente para la gira del 66.
Bob is all kabuki on the vocals.
all 5'6" of'm!!!!!
"white, hot funk"
41 mamas refuse to tell bob whats tearing up their minds!!!!!!!!
The build up on this is fucking superb.
I love how bombastically in your face this opening track is, this live album in particular is great because the entire time you can feel the ''I don't give a fuck'' energy coming from Bob and the band about how so many people would not accept change.
Well put, my friend.
For my money Dylan was at his very best with The Band behind him. Pity they didn't make more studio albums together.
Agreed, they could've done amazing things.
DYLAN ES ROCK!!!
clean, crisp, beautiful & easy to understand!!! EXCELLENCE PAR EXCELLENCE!!!!!
Agreed!
my favorite song off this disc
Agreed, this track has so much passion and energy. I love it.
hey bob your greAt!
wonderful :)
Grew up listening to you music,feel in love with your song's all my friends thought I was weird, didn't care love you style and you're voice thanks,Donna
伝説的ライブ音源がついにリリースですね。やはり演奏すんごいカッコイイ。ファンとしては現在のディランのライブ作品もとても欲しいのですが。なんらかの形でリリースされないかなぁ。
I wish I had a band so I can play this in front of people and just piss them off 😂
L0r3n2 that's one of my dreams x)
Iv been finding a bunch of dylan stuff. That I havnt heard. I love thst
Congratulations for the Nobel price!!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3
nobel prize. kudos
2016 Nobel Prize in Literature goes to... Alias! :-D
Nobel Prize.
I wish he would've recorded this and put it on Blonde On Blonde
There just should be no wishing or needing for other tracks to be added on to Blonde on Blonde, it is his greatest masterpiece? dont get me wrong Highway 61 is genius too but Blonde on Blonde is poetically, musically and just a fucking masterpiece.
Adding anything else to that album would be like a banquet being added to the table in Van Goghs Potatoes!!!
that's exactly why he didn't! lol
I completely agree with you, I wish this were released on some album. If not Blonde, something!
bless your heart! ty
Bob Dylan has inspired me all my life!
I still like those 1970s bootleg albums
Mine will be 46 reminds me when at press conference Bob Dylan was asked how many political singers were presently in the world, he replied 42 as the saying goes ask daft question...
I love the way Bob was handlin jurnalists back in 60s i guess most of them hated him :)
Astonishing!
I grew up with you and I will have you forever to listen to as well as the two. generations of family after me love you so much!
The past is present...and better than ever.
Well put, my friend.
my one year old is dancing!
too cool
I love this man.
jizzzz party!
Sounds great!
Incredible
Don't ya just love Bobby
Paul Lynam
Te amo Dylan
Why no DVD in the set? They could have thrown in all the 1966 clips and fragments. and possibly Eat The Document. Great piece anyway of course.
I can't wait for the day they release a full documentary of the '66 tour. They have hours of HQ color film. It's just a matter of time!
This is the SHIT. It is TODAY's music.
Absolutely brilliant. Love it.

bob dylan é um dos meus cantores favoritos
grande bob!
Bitchin song, Bob!
You're from Minnesota right?
Intense!!!!
I've been waiting for another version of this song!
Great song great artist
Now I want bootleg on N.E.T.. Stop '60.
Finally someone says that! All of the 60s recordings are in intertnet for years! A NET HQ album would be amazing!! Or the entire concert from Hard Rain on a DVD set. Or the Christian era. Or the tour with Tom Petty. Or anything different. He always was against been chain to an era or a decade, and all this and the bootleg before are doing that. Stop SONY, stop.
Was this version of this song on the Internet for years?
>All of the 60s recordings are in intertnet for years!
Ignorance is so trendy! ;-)
Previously unreleased soundboards, 8 new soundboards not previously in public circulation, specifically:
Belfast (1 song previously released)
Birmingham (1 song previously released)
Bristol
Cardiff
Edinburgh
Leicester
Newcastle
Paris
URLs from past years please?
Or were you just displaying?
The Ghost of Electricity is breathtaking! Greatest concert tour by anyone!
Completely agree! Too bad he didn't finish it.
Bob Dylan's music is really timeless. An eternal, becoming, astonishing, pure beauty.
Even the bum notes kick fucking ass..
and he refuses to edit them on the official releases...what man of men!!!!~E
fantastik !!!!
superb_
FANTASTIC!
greatest artist of all time...
That would be fellow minnesotan prince but pretty close to the top yes.
chetkayeable Prince fucking sucks... As a fellow Minnesotan 😜
Peerless
thats an arrogant claim
The quality is frickin amazing! I can't wait!!!!
