(Bob Dylan and Helena Springs)
|
[Chorus:]
|
Blue sky upon the horizon,
|
Private eye is on my trail,
|
And if I don't be there by morning
|
You know that I must have spent the night in jail.
|
|
I've been running from Memphis to L. A.
|
Had an appointment set sometime for today,
|
And if I don't be there by morning
|
You know that I must have gone the other way.
|
|
Finding my way back to you girl,
|
Lonely and blue and mistreated too.
|
Sometimes I think of you girl,
|
Is it true that you think of me too?
|
|
I got a woman living in L. A.
|
I got a woman waiting for my pay,
|
And if I don't be there by morning,
|
Pack my clothes, get down on your knees and pray.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill.
|
I left her waiting, I hope she's waiting for me still.
|
If I don't be there by morning
|
You know that I, I never will.
