You Ain’t Going Nowhere

Bob Dylan

 

  G                 Am              C                           G

Clouds so swift and rain falling in; Gonna see a movie called Gunga-Din
Pack up you money; Put up your tent in the wind; You ain't a-goin' nowhere
 
Genghis Khan and his brother Don, could not keep on keeping on

We’ll climb that bridge after it’s gone, after we’re way past it

 

Buy me some rings and a gun that sings; a flute that toots and a bee that stings

A sky that cries and a bird that flies; a fish that walks and a dog that talks

 

 

<CHORUS>
Whoo-ee! Ride me high; Tomorrow's the day that my bride's a-gonna come
Whoo-ee! Are we gonna fly down to the easy chair

 

 

Clouds so swift; Rain won't lift; Gate won't close; Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime; You ain't a-goin' nowhere

I don't care how many letters they sent; Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money and pack up your tent; You ain't a-goin' nowhere

Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots; Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself to the tree with roots; You ain't goin' nowhere

Genghis Khan, he could not keep all his kings supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep, when we get up to it
