Talkin' World War Lll Blues Lyrics - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan

One time ago a crazy dream came to me 

I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three 

I went to the doctor the very next day 

To see what kinda words he could say 

He said it was a bad dream 

I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though 

Them old dreams are only in your head 

I said, hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain 

He said, nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane 

He grabbed my arm, I said ouch 

As I landed on the psychiatric couch 

He said, tell me about it

Well, the whole thing started at three o'clock fast 

It was all over by quarter past 

I was down in the sewer with some little lover 

When I peeked out from a manhole cover 

Wondering who turned the lights on 

Well, I got up and walked around 

And up and down the lonesome town 

I stood a-wondering which way to go 

I lit a cigarette on a parking meter 

And walked on down the road 

It was a normal day 

Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell 

And I leaned my head and I gave a yell 

Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man 

A shotgun fired and away I ran 

I don't blame them too much though 

They didn't know me 

Photos 

Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand 

I seen a man, I said, 'howdy friend' 

I guess there's just us two 

He screamed a bit and away he flew 

Thought I was a Communist 

Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave 

I said, let's go and play Adam and Eve 

I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin' 

When she said, hey man, you crazy or sumpin' 

You seen what happened last time they started 

Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown 

And there was nobody aroun' 

I got into the driver's seat 

And I drove down 42nd Street 

In my Cadillac 

Good car to drive after a war 

Well, I remember seein' some ad 

So I turned on my Conelrad 

But I didn't pay my Con Ed bill 

So the radio didn't work so well 

Turned on my record player 

It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin' 

Tell your Ma, tell your Pa 

Our loves are gonna grow ooh-wah, ooh-wah 

I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue 

I needed somebody to talk to 

So I called up the operator of time 

Just to hear a voice of some kind 

When you hear the beep 

It will be three o'clock 

She said that for over an hour 

And I hung up 

Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then 

Sayin, Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams 

But mine was a little different you see 

I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me 

I didn't see you around 

Well, now time passed and now it seems 

Everybody's having them dreams 

Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else 

Half of the people can be part right all of the time 

Some of the people can be all right part of the time 

But all of the people can't be all right all of the time 

I think Abraham Lincoln said that 

I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours 

I said that
