Dylan, Bob - Spanish Harlem Incident Lyrics






Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem
Cannot hold you to its heat
Your temperature's too hot for taming
Your flaming feet burn up the street
I am homeless, come and take me
To the reach of your rattling drums
Let me know, babe, all about my fortune
Down alone my restless palms.

Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed
I have fallen far beneath
Your pearly eyes, so fast an' slashing
An' your flashing diamond teeth
The night is pitch black, come an' make my
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Let me know, babe, I am nearly drowning
If it's you my lifelines trace.

I been wond'rin' all about me
Ever since I seen you there
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding
I know I'm 'round you but I don't know where
You've slayed me, you have made me
I got to laugh halfways off my heels
I got to know, babe, will you surround me
So I can know if I'm really real.

    Another side of Bob Dylan el comienzo del delirio que terminaría dos años después en el accidente con su motocicleta.

  7. 2.... ....

    The album version of this song is a marvelous rendition of words. Significantly better than this version here.

    2.... ....

    i can;t find the studio album version... is it on youtube?

    2.... ....

    @shem the penman I don't think the album version is on YouTube. Most of Dylan's songs were never on YouTube or were taken down quickly after someone uploaded them. Actually Other Side of Bob Dylan is my favorite album of his. In particular, I am a huge fan of the way he sings on Spanish Harlem Incident song on the album. It would sound more or less the same as this YouTube version if listened to casually. But close attention to the album version would reveal the beauty of the way he says words and his voice on this song (seems drenched in booze).

    2.... ....

    Yeah, he definitely toked before the studio track and it's the best version for it. He sounds like a very smitten kitten

    Album version might be better, but just read those lyrics. They make me feel and remember things I've never seen or felt in my life. This song truly is a world of its own. If I have these feelings of this song hidden deep inside me and the song brings them out I'm assured they aren't but from my previous life or my ancestors' lives. Love this song!

    J.... K....

    The Other Side is my favorite album from the maestro. I don't care if people like Blonde On Blonde or Taking It All Back Home better. I am a huge fan of Desire too. Then in my sequence are Blonde On Blonde, Back Home, Highway 61, Times Changin', Freewheelin', Blood On The Tracks, etc.

    J.... K....

    and yes, the album version of this song is great.

  9. S.... G....

    this song is pretty dirty if you pay attention to the lyrics

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

    Fuckin' great. One man three instruments.

  11. A.... G....

    The man and his music are without doubt amazing. What a classic this is.

  12. T.... R....

    At that time of life when all that one does is no more than the sowing of seed.

  13. S.... H....

    Love the vocals here.

    S.... H....
