Blonde on Blonde session 10, Columbia Music Row Studios, Nashville TN - 7.mar.1966, take 3, album version Well your railroad gate, you know i just can't jump it Sometimes it gets so hard, you see I'm just sittin' here, beatin' on my trumpet With all those promises you left for me But where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well i waited for you when i was half sick Yes i waited for you when you hated me Well i waited for you inside of the frozen traffic When you knew i had some other place to be Now where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well anybody can be just like me, obviously But then on again, not too many can be like you, fortunately. Well six white horses that you did promise Were finally delivered down to the penitentiary But to live outside the law, you must be honest I know you always say that you agree Alright so where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well i dont know how it happened But the river boat captain, he knows my fate But everybody else, even yourself They're just gonna have to wait. Well i got the fever down inside my pockets The persian drunkard he follows me Yes i can take him to your house but i can't unlock it You see you forgot to leave me with the key Ah where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well i been in jail when all the mail showed That a man can't give his address out to bad company An' now i stand here, lookin' at your yellow railroad In the ruins of your balcony Wondering where are you tonight, sweet Marie.
