Ragged & Dirty - Bob Dylan

Lord I’m broke, I’m hungry, ragged and dirty too

Broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too

If I clean up sweet mama, can I stay all night with you.

Lord, I went to my window, babe, I couldn’t see through my blinds

Went to my window, babe I couldn’t see through my blinds

Heard my best friend coming around I thought I heard my baby cry.

Lord, if I can’t come in here, baby then just let me sit down in your door

If I can’t come in here baby then just let me sit down in your door

And I would leave so soon that your man won’t never know.

How can I live here baby, Lord, and feel at ease?

How can I live here baby, Lord, and feel at ease?

Well, that woman I got, man, she do just what she feels.

Lord you shouldn’t mistreat me, baby, because I’m young and wild

Shouldn’t mistreat me, baby, because I’m young and wild

You must always remember, baby, you was once a child.

'Cause I’m leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blind

Leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blinds

Well, I’ve been mistreated and I swear, I don’t mind dyin'.
