This Evening So Soon

Trad, arranged by Bob Dylan

  Self Portrait recording session 5, Columbia Studios, NYC - 4.mar.1970  

Tell ol' Bill when he comes home, this mornin'
Tell ol' Bill when he comes home, this evenin'
Tell ol' Bill when he comes home
To leave them downtown girls alone
This mornin', this evenin', so soon.

Ol' Sal was bakin' bread, this mornin'
Ol' Sal was bakin' bread, this evenin'
Ol' Sal was bakin' bread
When she found out that her Bill was dead
This mornin', this evenin', so soon.

She said, "Oh no, it can't be so", this mornin'
"Oh no, it can't be so", this evenin'
She said "Oh no it can't be so
My Bill left home about an hour ago."
This mornin', this evenin', so soon.

Well they brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon, this mornin'
They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon, this evenin'
Well you know they brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon
His arms, his legs, his feet were draggin'
This mornin', this evenin', so soon
So soon, so soon, so soon.

Tell ol' Bill when he comes home, this mornin'
Tell ol' Bill when he comes home, this evenin'
Yes, tell ol' Bill when he comes home
To leave them downtown girls alone
This mornin', this evenin', so soon.
So soon, so soon.
