Bob Dylan recording session 2, Columbia Studio A, NYC - 20.nov.1961  

Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was Jesus' name
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh lord, oh lord
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Mary, Mark, Luke an' John
All them prophets are dead an' gone
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh lord, oh lord
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Well i never been to heaven but i been told
The streets up there are lined with gold
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh lord, oh lord
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh lord, oh lord
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh lord, oh lord
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Oh lord, oh lord.

Mary wore three links of chain,
Every link was Jesus name.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on,
Oh lord, oh lord.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Here comes ..., two by three,
You get my brother but you can't get me.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on,
Oh lord, oh lord.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

I've never been to heaven but I been told,
Streets up there are lined with gold.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on,
Oh lord, oh lord.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Here comes ...., two by three,
You get my brother but you can't get me.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh lord, oh lord.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Mary wore three links of chain,
Every link was Jesus name.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on,
Oh lord, oh lord.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Oh lord, oh lord,
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.
Oh lord, oh lord.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

I've never been to heaven but I been told,
Streets up there are lined with gold.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on,
Oh lord, oh lord.
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Oh lord, oh lord,
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.
