Mr. Tambourine Man (short version) Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship All my senses have been stripped And my hands can't feel to grip And my toes too numb to step Waiting only for my boot heels to be wanderin' I'm ready to go anywhere I'm ready for to fade Onto my own parade Cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you |
From “Subterranean Homesick Blues” to “Like A Rolling Stone,” Bruce Langhorne was there playing along with Bob Dylan. A member of the early Greenwich Village scene along with Joan Baez, Carolyn Hester, and, of course, Dylan, Langhorne was known for his expert guitar playing abilities and his use of a large tambourine-looking drum. This drum led to Dylan nicknaming his friend “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and that classic song. |
