Lonesome Day Blues Lyrics - Love And Theft - Bob Dylan

Well, today has been a sad and lonesome day 

Yeah, today has been a sad and lonesome day 

I'm just sitting here thinking with my mind a million miles away 

Well, they're doing the double shuffle, throwing sand on the floor 

They're doing the double shuffle, they're throwing sand on the floor 

When I left my longtime darling, she was standing in the door 

Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war 

Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war 

My sister, she ran off and got married, never was heard of anymore 

Samantha Brown lived in my house for 'bout four or five months 

Samantha Brown lived in my house for 'bout four or five months 

Don't know how it looked to other people, I never slept with her even once

Well the road washed out, weather not fit for man or beast 

Well the road's washed out, weather not fit for man or beast 

Funny, the things you have the hardest time parting with are the things you need the least 

Well, I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into overdrive 

I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into overdrive 

Set my dial on the radio I wish my mother was still alive 

I seen your lover man comin', comin' across the barren fields 

I see your lover man comin', comin' 'cross the barren fields 

He not a gentleman at all, he's rotten to the core, he's a coward and he steals 

Well my captain, he's decorated, he's well-schooled and he's skilled 

My captain, he's decorated, he's well-schooled and he's skilled 

He's not sentimental, don't bother him at all; how many of his pals have been killed 

Last night the wind was whispering, I was trying to make out what it was 

Last night the wind was whispering something, I was trying to make out what it was 

Yeah I tell myself something's coming, but it never does

I'm going to spare the defeated, I'm going to speak to the crowd 

I'm going to spare the defeated, 'cause I'm going to speak to the crowd 

I'm going to teach peace to the conquered, I'm going to tame the proud 

Well, the leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off of the shelf 

Leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off the shelf 

You're gonna need my help sweetheart, you can't make love all by yourself
