Ruben Remus Lyrics - Bob Dylan

Wrote a letter this mornin' 

Put it in your hat 

'Cause there's no one to read it 

And I know you knew that 

I bought a joke, a trick or two 

Just to bring and show you 

Caught ya with the trickster too 

Sometimes I wonder how ya knew 

A hypnotist, fancy talker 

Ruben Remus ain't no doctor

I knew the man and tried to remember 

Just where it was that I'd seen his face 

Long ago, in a movie show 

He was like that man singin' bass 

Knew him by his nursery rhyme 

The 'Story Of The Rabbit Man' 

Fell right in and said to him 

"I'd like to help you if I can" 

I know the film would only shock ya 

Ruben Remus ain't no doctor 

He only needed what you had 

Asked for nothing more 

Said he'd like to take you on 

But it's been done before 

You couldn't see he's a travelin' man 

And he cannot take your hand 

It's very hard to understand 

Why his songs were never banned 

Guess the man would never knock ya 

Ruben Remus ain't no doctor 

Photos 

No one seen ya since he's been gone 

It's been a day, maybe more 

I took a walk in your yard 

And knocked on your back door 

Why don't you let me in? 

I'm not the one who did ya in 

Is Mr. Remus still your friend? 

You say you don't remember him 

Turn me down, would ya? 

Well, I've got news for you 

Turn me down would ya? 

Can't ya tell? 

I'm gonna change your mind before I'm
