Troubled And I Don't Know Why

Forest Hills Stadium, New York City NY - 17.aug.1963, Bob Dylan & Joan Baez  

I'm troubled and I don't know why
Troubled and I don't know why
Well the trouble on my mind is driving me blind
I'm troubled and I don't know why.

What did the morning say? 
What did the morning say?
It rose through the night with a dark dreary light
Saying it's another old weary day.

I'm troubled and I don't know why
Troubled and I don't know why
Well the trouble on my mind is driving me blind
I'm troubled and I don't know why.

What did the newspaper tell? 
What did the newspaper tell?
It rolled in the door and laid on the floor
And said things aren't going so well.

I'm troubled and I don't know why
Troubled and I don't know why
Well the trouble on my mind is driving me blind
I'm troubled and I don't know why.

What did the television squall? 
What did the television squall?
It roared and it boomed and it bounced around the room
And it never said nothing at all.

I'm troubled and I don't know why
Troubled and I don't know why
Well the trouble on my mind is driving me blind
I'm troubled and I don't know why.

What did the movie screen lecture? 
What did the movie screen lecture?
It heated and it froze and it took off all its clothes
And I left in the middle of the picture.

I'm troubled and I don't know why
Troubled and I don't know why
Well the trouble on my mind is driving me blind
I'm troubled and I don't know why.
