24 Apr 1962 THE FREEWHEELIN' BOB DYLAN OUTTAKES (T-304) GREAT WHITE WONDER Part 2 (vinyl bootleg)

The Freewhelin' Bob Dylan session 1, Columbia Studio A, NYC - 24.apr.1962, take 3 Well i was feelin' low down an' blue I didn't know in the world what i was gonna do Them communists they were comin' around They were in the air They were all over the ground They wouldn't gimme no peace. Well i ran down must hurriedly An' joined the John Birch society Got me a secret membership card Started walkin' off down the road Oh boy, i'm a real John Bircher now Look out you commies! Well we all agree with Hitler's views Although he killed six million jews It don't matter too much if he was a fascist At least you can't say he was a communist That's to say like if you got a cold Take a shot of malaria. Well, i was lookin' everywhere for them reds I got up in the mornin' looked under my bed Looked in the stove, behind the door Looked in the glove compartment of my car Couldn't find 'em. Well i looked underneath everythin', behind the chair Looking for them reds everywhere I even looked up my chimney hole Looked down deep inside my toilet bowl They got away Well, i's home alone i started to sweat I figured they was inside my tv set Peeked behind the picture frame Got a shock from my feet right up to my brain Them reds caused it ! I know they did, them hard-core ones. Well i quit my job so i could work all alone An' i changed my name to Sherlock Holmes Following some clues from my detective bag I discovered that there was red stripes in the American flag Ol' Betsy Ross! I investigated all the books in the library Ninety percent of those gotta to be thrown away Investigated all the people that i knowed Ninety eight percent of them gotta go The other two percent are fellow Birchers Just like me Now Eisenhower is a Russian spy Roosevelt, Lincoln an' that Jefferson guy To my knowledge there's just one man That's really a true American George Lincoln Rockwell I know for a fact he hates commies 'Cause he picketed the movie Exodus. Well i finally started thinkin' straight When i ran outa things to investigate Couldn't imagine anythin' else So now you find me at home investigatin' myself Hope i don't find nothin' Good god!

So I run down most hurriedly And joined the John Birch Society Got me a secret membership card Started walking off down the road Yoo-hoo, I'm a real John Bircher now Look out you commies! Well we all agree with Hitler's views Although he killed six millions Jews It don't matter too much that he was a fascist At least you can't say he was a communist That's to say like if you got a cold Take a shot of malaria. I was lookin' everywhere for them gol-darned reds I got up in the morning, looked under my bed Looked in the kitchen, behind the door Looked in the glove compartment of my car Couldn't find them. I's looking for them reds everywhere Looked underneath the sofa Underneath every chair Looked up my chimney hole Looked deep down inside my toilet bowl They got away. I was sitting home alone, I started to sweat I figured they was in my tv set Peeked behind the picture frame Got a shock from my feet, hit me right up to my brain Them reds caused it. I know they did, them hard-core ones. Well I quit my job so I could work all alone And I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes Followed some clues in my detective bag I discovered there was red stripes in the American flag Poor Betsy Ross. Investigated all the books in the library Ninety nine percent of those gotta be burned away Investigated all the people that I know Ninety eight percent of them gotta go The other two percent are fellow birchers Just like me. Truly fair. Now Eisenhower he's a Russian spy Lincoln, Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy To my knowledge there's just one man That's really a true American George Lincoln Rockwell I know for a fact he hates commies Because he picketed the movie Exodus.
