Clothes Line
by Bob Dylan
After a while we took in the clothes,
Nobody said very much.
Just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants
Which nobody really wanted to touch.
Mama come in and picked up a book
An' Papa asked her what it was.
Someone else asked, What
do
you
care?
Papa said, Well,
just
because.
Then they started to take back their clothes,
Hang 'em on the line.
It was January the thirtieth
And everybody was feelin' fine.
The next day everybody got up
Seein' if the clothes were dry.
The dogs were barking, a neighbor passed,
Mama, of course, she said, Hi!
Have
you
heard
the
news? he said, with a grin,
The
Vice-Presidents gone mad!"
"Where?" "Downtown." "When?" "Last night."
"Hmm, say, thats
too
bad!
Well,
theres nothin
we
can
do
about
it, said the neighbor,
Its just somethin
were gonna have to forget."
"Yes, I guess so," said Ma,
Then she asked me if the clothes was still wet.
I reached up, touched my shirt,
And the neighbor said, "Are those clothes yours?"
I said, "Some of em,
not
all
of
em."
He said, "Ya always help out around here with the chores?"
I said, "Sometime, not all the time."
Then my neighbor, he blew his nose
Just as papa yelled outside,
"Mama wants you t
come
back
in
the
house
and
bring
them
clothes.
Well, I just do what I'm told,
So, I did it, of course.
I went back in the house and Mama met me
And then I shut all the doors.
