Tough Mama Lyrics - Planet Waves - Bob Dylan

Tough Mama 

Meat shakin' on your bones 

I'm gonna go down to the river and get some stones 

Sister's on the highway with that steel-drivin' crew 

Papa's in the big house, his workin' days are through 

Tough Mama 

Can I blow a little smoke on you? 

Dark Beauty 

Won't you move it on over and make some room? 

It's my duty to bring you down to the field where the flowers bloom 

Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise 

You came through it all the way, flyin' through the skies 

Dark Beauty 

With that long night's journey in your eyes

Sweet Goddess 

Born of a blinding light and a changing wind 

Now, don't be modest, you know who you are and where you've been 

Jack the Cowboy went up north 

He's buried in your past 

The Lone Wolf went out drinking 

That was over pretty fast 

Sweet Goddess 

Your perfect stranger's comin' in at last 

Silver Angel 

With the badge of the lonesome road sewed in your sleeve 

I'd be grateful if this golden ring you would receive 

Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch 

I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch 

Sweet Goddess 

It must be time to carve another notch

I'm crestfallen 

The world of illusion is at my door 

I ain't a-haulin' any of my lambs to the marketplace anymore 

The prison walls are crumblin', there is no end in sight 

I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite 

Dark Beauty 

Meet me at the border late tonight
