Were these lyrics really ever sung? They look like someone took the actually recorded line, "Pack up your bags, put up your tent, McGuinn," and made up a version that doesn't scan.

"Pack up your mind, put up your tent in the wind"
You Ain't Goin' Nowhere

Dirt Road Blues alternate lyrics from #TheLyricsSince1962. Do these match the new version on the upcoming Fragments release, I wonder?

DIRT ROAD BLUES
#BobDylan

Gon' walk on down that dirt road
Till I'm right beside the sun
Gon' walk on down
Until I'm right beside the sun
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier
To keep myself away from everyone

#BDLyricChange

Didn't I risk my neck for you?
Didn't I take chances?
Didn't I rise above it all for you,
In the land of a thousand dances?

Seeing The Real You At Last

May be workin' on a construction job or workin' on a home
May be working in a coal mine, might be (giving your) dog a bone

Gotta Serve Somebody

New live lyric **

Well the devil's shining light
It's so inviting **
And it's so blinding

Saving Grace
#bd19800419 #BobDylan #BDLyricChange

Highwaymen on murder charges, pushing her into robbery
Mistakin' your shyness for aloofness, your silence for snobbery
Never did get the message
Don't even know if one was sent to me
About the madness of becomin’
What one was never meant to be

#BobDylan
The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar
#bd19801113
#BDLyricChange

That silver spade that waits for you
To throw dirt upon your tomb
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it
You're runnin' out of room

Dead man, dead man
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind
Dust upon your eyes

Dead Man, Dead Man outtake
#BobDylan
#BDLyricChange

Counterfeit philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts
Karl Marx has got you by the throat
Henry Kissinger's *still* got you wrapped up into knots

When You Gonna Wake Up
July 9 1981
Drammen, Norway
#bd19810709 #BDLyricChange

I was practicin' free choice and the freedom of speech
But that pearly gate prize was just a little bit out of reach

You Changed My Life, Take 4
#BobDylan
#BDLyricChange

Could I have married her? I don't know, I suppose
She had bells in her braids, fire in her clothes
But the curtain was rising
Like they say, the show must go on

#CaribbeanWind rehearsal
#BobDylan
#BDLyricChange

Was she a child or a woman? I really can't say
Something about her said, "Trust me anyway
As the days turned to minutes and the minutes turned back into hours

Across the street they’ve closed the curtains
They’re getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
A perfect image of a priest
Now he’s spoonfeeding Casanova
The boiled guts of birds
Then he’ll torture him with self-confidence
And poison him with words

Desolation Row outtake

#BobDylan #BDLyricChange

Oh, I awoke in anger
Without a place to stand or hide
I put my fingers up against the glass
And bowed my head and cried

I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine
Take 2, Alternate Version (begins 2:49)

Before #Hazel there was #Angel, #BobDylan's early draft of the song that ultimately appeared on #PlanetWaves.

❓Can you help improve my attempt at capturing the lyrics (see attached images)❓

We have the gift of a soundcheck recording from Sep 17, 1978:

(New lyrics for this song are rare, usually limited to the “I’ll tell you one thing” hook borrowed from the cover by The Band. But here’s a new one, in place of the “chain gang on the highway…” lines.)

Well, some of them were killed in battle
Well, some of them survived as well
I can tell you one thing, that nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

#Angelina
#BobDylan
#BDLyricChange

Her eyes were two slits that would make any snake proud
With a face that any painter would paint and she was well-endowed
Praising the dead as she rode a donkey through the crowd
Or was it a hyena?
...
The peaceful exchange of ideas for you was always too tame
Inter-tribal warfare was always more your style and your game
...
She was stolen from her mother when she was three days old
Now her vengeance has been satisfied and her strength cards are showin’ gold

All I Really Want To Do
October 7, 1978

I don’t wanna make you go astray
And I don’t wanna see you go away
And I don’t care if you feel like me
See like me or be like me
All I really want to do
All I really want to do
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you

You pressed me once
You pressed me twice
You knew the score
You paid the price
Oh, babe, and that fire is still smokin'

#BobDylan tries out wonderful new If Not For You lyrics in London 1993. Apparently a total one-off.

(I occasionally make these lyric videos where Dylan has changed the words in concert)
