Dylan, Bob - Oh Sister Lyrics






Oh sister when I come to lie in your arms
You should not treat me like a stranger
Our Father would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger.

Oh sister am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection ?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth
To love and follow His direction ?

We grew up together
From the cradle to the grave
We died and were reborn
And then mysteriously saved.

Oh sister when I come to knock on your door
Don't turn away you'll create sorrow
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow.

  1. O.... L....

    Love this song i Thing at My familie hvit sorry

  2. M.... C....

    Is it Joan Baez who's singing with him?

    M.... C....

    It was Emmy Lou Harris on female vocals; this was her big break in 1975. :-)

    M.... C....

    David Belkevitz Thanks a lot! I suppose it's also Emmy Lou on the song "Black Diamond Bay"?

  3. M.... H....

    The legend delivers the truth 🤫✡️✝️☪️🇬🇧🇺🇸

  4. K.... t....

    I was raised on Dylan ( and I'm not even that old ).

  5. D.... J....

    Why this outta be one of the most painfully beautiful things I’ve ever heard

  6. H.... S....

    One of my favorites Bob Dylan's LP.

  10. D.... R....

    Sending you Love, peace of mind, body and Soul in hopes to open your Heart once again...I hope for you to meet a woman who loves you and doesn't need you...you have choices...wow do you ever...unlike before you have Wisdom...at 55 this year I am still mesmerized by everything you allow me to see about you... I hope you write more lyrics and put them to the perfect tempo and when the World hears that song many women will weep...they'll know you have found you're soul mate and she will be there for you, with you until your work on Earth is finished...Stay Forever Young Bob Dylan...

  11. j.... g....

    love how this song morphs into Black Diamond Bay. What a great album......"her passport show a face from another time and place, she looks nothing like that"......more evocative than any other writer.

  12. J.... A....

    Ilham Omar must have played his song when she married her brother.

  13. J.... W....

    The greatest songwriter of all time. Nobel Prize winner. From a no-name mining town in northern Minnesota. I grew up about 20 minutes from his hometown.

And they work with frequentions to hurt me while they laughing and Jan Frans play Some thing in the hospitaal Logtenberg to help people they bad

  21. m.... s....

    This album was my initiation to Dylan's music when I was 12. It was ingrained in my mind more any other.

  22. c.... ....

  23. J.... M....

  28. G.... W....

    Thinking of my sister today she passed July 4, 2014

  29. S.... ....

    this song gives me goose bumps...partly might be due to baez' accompanying vocals.

    S.... ....

    Actually its Emmy Lou Harris

    S.... ....

    Baez did some great stuff with Bob, but not this, not this.

  30. K.... J....

    Sister in this case refers to all of us being sisters and brothers under God

  33. A.... d....

    Mi fa' amare ancora di più la bella America

  34. T.... B....

    DICK IN THE HOLE!!! DICK IN THE HOLE!!!!!!! TORPEDO ALERT!!!

  35. T.... B....

    MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR!!!

  36. T.... B....

    If you can stick your dick in the dark hole but can't give a person a hug, there is a real problem with you!!

  37. T.... B....

    And you thought your cattle, your little BBQ was more important than this country? That is was this country? Those fucking cattle are the worst thing that ever happened to this country. But you love that steak so much. Which one was it Bob? The red or the blue pill? You chose the steak. You love the steak. You love the taste of blood.

  38. l.... v....

    Leggenda 😍

  39. M.... B....

    America's great country treasure.

    M.... B....

    Correct. And maybe the World's

    M.... B....

    Forever

    M.... B....

    Honestly, Bob is my favorite country music artist after Hank Sr. and Hank Jr.

  40. T.... B....

    But what does a pimp owe a prostitute in the end? Its a hard figure to arrive at...

    T.... B....

    it all costs the same

  41. T.... B....

    Sorry to be all up in your grills here about this, but if you don't like it- GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD Mr. Deer-In-Headlights!!!

  42. T.... B....

    Bottoms up honey!!

  43. T.... B....

    So if I actually was raped by you brother, at least mentally and somatically for years, then how much is this bottle of wine you drink worth O' great businessman?

  44. T.... B....

    But you "don't write confessional songs"- is this correct Mr. Bob Dylan?

  45. T.... B....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JczEyQHBLEw

  46. T.... B....

    I mean, you had the match in your hand before the fire started, is this correct?

  47. T.... B....

    If you waited for the child with the matches in their hand to make the connection between them and a fire that burned down their neighbor's house, how long do you think it will be before they make the mental connection between their actions and the consequences? I mean, even a small child with matches is apparently brighter than you are Mr. O-Sister-Where-Art-Thou. But then maybe not and they would be unable to put the two together just like you. So you'd be reduced to the mentality of a 5 year old then? And everyone on this planet as well? Perhaps you can see why I can't even get a date.

  49. T.... B....

    Now I know you musicians are all about selling your souls to the Devil, but what happens if the Devil reaches up before you were even born and steals your soul? No compensation at all, just enslavement of your soul and insides and all the future of the world, just being used for someone else's pleasure- then what do you do? Kinda sounds more like the Devil itself don't it? Can you really win back your soul by playing better music than it? You know the Devil creates all music and dance right? So its impossible to be better than the Devil since God aka the Devil creates all. It created Stevie Ray Vaughan- and that is hard to beat! Even if you could you would still be created by the same God aka the Devil, so it isn't beating it, no matter how amazing you play. Just to say. You are always confused about this stuff, aren't you?

  50. T.... B....

    Hard to even believe we are related, as you just smoke my eyelids and punch my cigarette...

  51. R.... P....

    my sister died 2 nights ago

    R.... P....

    so sorry for your loss

    R.... P....

    Sorry, Randall. Hope you are coming to peace with your loss.❤

  52. T.... B....

    Shooting the moon is a different thing than shooting a wolf lurking in the bushes of my front yard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiwHL3bXtT8

  53. T.... B....

    Though its important for the law itself to know what your intent was when you ran over that poor abused lady with a peg leg and parrot and killed them, I really don't think it matters much to the lady or her parrot.

  54. T.... B....

    So God had nothing to do with your dick up my ass? And your penis was not there either, is this correct?

  55. T.... B....

    God loves to fuck with your minds as well as mine. Not only did God rape me using stars such as yourself while I was still conscious for years on end, but I didn't dream much while asleep since God started talking except about having sex with my real brother for years and years. I don't think that I really have a thing for my brother, I just think God was fucking with me- messing with my head, just like it does with everything else. God is a tease. If it were some random guy I was dreaming about having sex with or even someone I knew it might be OK, but my brother? For years and years, without hardly any other dreams? That is FUCKED UP. But you are going to blame me for it? Say I wanted it somehow? Say its all because of my brain's chemicals? ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME? Call a god damn spade a spade. How are you supposed to gamble or be a gambler if an entire suit of cards you are calling something other than what it is? Is that winning? Increasing your chances of it?

  56. T.... B....

    Pooping at my front doorstep is not giving me a crumb from my own cake. Thanks so much though for your thoughtful gift hon!!

    T.... B....

    For all Sister a round the world

  57. T.... B....

    Maybe you thought you were just making all this up and never molested your sister in real life, but God used you Bob along with a number of other stars to molest me mentally and physically for years. God can move muscles in my body and vagina at will- and it isn't just in my head when the rapes happen. And though I hardly have dreamed since God started talking to me, the only sex in them I had for YEARS was with my real life brother fucking me. It wasn't cool at all. He never has molested me in real life and I don't feel like its some kind of repressed sexual desire in me that is coming out in my dreams or penis-envy or whatever Freud thought he was talking about. It was just God fucking with my head. Torturing me. Teasing me. As brothers do. In the worst of ways. And the fact that you fucking wrote down this song and played it for so many years without turning yourself into the police is a testament of how much emotional distance you have from what your lips are saying. I mean, you might as well be on the moon pandering for money with a wind up monkey. WHAT DO YOU THINK IT MEANS IF YOU DIDN'T LIVE IT ONCE BUT I DID FOR FUCKING YEARS ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL????? And you say those aren't my fucking boots you've been wearing? Or my shirts? Or my pants too? What the fuck Bob? Stop touching your sister!!! Stop stealing things from her room!! They aren't even yours!!!

    T.... B....

    Seek help

    T.... B....

    @lix8 I'm trying but no one will listen to me and they blame me for being raped.

    T.... B....

    please look for a therapist,you may not see yourself tomorrow

  58. T.... B....

    Creepy.

    "How in the name of the Father and Son did I come to be your sister?"--Joan Baez

    O.... ....

    where and when did she say this?

    O.... ....

    @Mamoon Her reply song called "Oh, Brother!"

    O.... ....

    like bob said, “and when we meet up later as strangers please don’t lead on that you knew me back when i was hungry and it was your world”. i feel joan always thinks she’s responsible for everything bob ever did.

  60. c.... v....

    stupenda

  61. I.... F....

    So far, one "expert" did not like the video . Maybe he/she can write a better song! BLOODY BASTARD! Is that you Paul McCartney?
