Bob Dylan - 10,000 Men (Under the Red Sky)
Ten thousand men on a hill,
Ten thousand men on a hill,
Some of 'm goin' down, some of 'm gonna get killed.
Ten thousand men dressed in oxford blue,
Ten thousand men dressed in oxford blue,
Drummin' in the morning, in the evening they'll be coming for you.
Ten thousand men on the move,
Ten thousand men on the move,
None of them doing nothin' that your mama wouldn't disapprove.
Ten thousand men digging for silver and gold,
Ten thousand men digging for silver and gold,
All clean shaven, all coming in from the cold.
Hey! Who could your lover be?
Hey! Who could your lover be?
Let me eat off his head so you can really see!
Ten thousand women all dressed in white,
Ten thousand women all dressed in white,
Standin' at my window wishing me goodnight.
Ten thousand men looking so lean and frail,
Ten thousand men looking so lean and frail,
Each one of 'em got seven wives, each one of 'em just out of jail.
Ten thousand women all sweepin' my room,
Ten thousand women all sweepin' my room,
Spilling my buttermilk, sweeping it up will a broom.
Ooh, baby, thank you for my tea!
Baby, thank you for my tea!
It's so sweet of you to be so nice to me.

| Yeah, I love that line. I always think of it when I get home early from a late night. Sometimes if I get back late I linger to dig the sunrise from a different perspective than the early riser. |

| Really cool song. I did not know much about the songs off this box set till seeing comment here. Dylan is a master at what he does. He can still write some amazing songs. |

| Ahh, yeah. I love the sunrise after an up-all-nighter. Your eyes are dry and tired. Your head feels heavy. Your clothes feel old and bothersome. And you feel like the shower police must be looking to cart you in. But the air is so crisp and cool and dewy.. Always gives me half a mind to grab a mug of tea and drive, drive, drive along the coast or cross country. MMmm.. Someday I think I will. Maybe listen to Bob the whole way. =) |

| Very, very good, though I personally think Red's rugged voice (from Red Band / Puppet Folk Revival) suits the lyrics better. Dylan, however, brought out the best possible with his voice (and writing abilities), and I have great respect for him. |
