[00:00.00]Murder Most Foul - Bob Dylan
[00:03.87]Lyrics by:Bob Dylan
[00:07.74]Composed by:Bob Dylan
[00:11.61]It was a dark day in Dallas November '63
[00:18.26]A day that will live on in infamy
[00:24.23]President Kennedy was a-ridin' high
[00:28.26]Good day to be livin' and a good day to die
[00:31.96]Being led to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb
[00:36.30]He said "Wait a minute boys you know who I am"
[00:41.30]"Of course we do we know who you are"
[00:45.19]Then they blew off his head while he was still in the car
[00:51.31]Shot down like a dog in broad daylight
[00:56.43]Was a matter of timing and the timing was right
[01:00.60]You got unpaid debts we've come to collect
[01:06.26]We're gonna kill you with hatred without any respect
[01:15.14]We'll mock you and shock you and we'll put it in your face
[01:20.79]We've already got someone here to take your place
[01:28.62]The day they blew out the brains of the king
[01:33.20]Thousands were watching no one saw a thing
[01:37.39]It happened so quickly so quick by surprise
[01:42.69]Right there in front of everyone's eyes
[01:47.26]Greatest magic trick ever under the sun
[01:51.54]Perfectly executed skillfully done
[01:56.32]Wolfman oh Wolfman oh Wolfman howl
[02:00.87]Rub-a-dub-dub it's a murder most foul
[02:12.79]Hush little children you'll understand
[02:17.34]The Beatles are comin' they're gonna hold your hand
[02:21.80]Slide down the banister go get your coat
[02:26.75]Ferry 'cross the Mersey and go for the throat
[02:34.21]There's three bums comin' all dressed in rags
[02:37.95]Pick up the pieces and lower the flags
[02:41.59]I'm goin' to Woodstock it's the Aquarian Age
[02:45.76]Then I'll go over to Altamont and sit near the stage
[02:50.54]Put your head out the window let the good times roll
[02:56.25]There's a party going on behind the Grassy Knoll
[03:03.92]Stack up the bricks pour the cement
[03:08.40]Don't say Dallas don't love you Mr. President
[03:14.74]Put your foot in the tank and then step on the gas
[03:18.68]Try to make it to the triple underpass
[03:21.96]Blackface singer whiteface clown
[03:25.47]Better not show your faces after the sun goes down
[03:29.73]Up in the red light district they've got cop on the beat
[03:36.94]Living in a nightmare on Elm Street
[03:43.09]When you're down on Deep Ellum put your money in your shoe
[03:50.53]Don't ask what your country can do for you
[03:57.76]Cash on the barrelhead money to burn
[04:05.00]Dealey Plaza make a left-hand turn
[04:09.50]I'm going down to the crossroads gonna flag a ride
[04:15.76]The place where faith hope and charity died
[04:22.98]Shoot him while he runs boy shoot him while you can
[04:29.12]See if you can shoot the invisible man
[04:34.80]Goodbye Charlie Goodbye Uncle Sam
[04:40.92]Frankly Miss Scarlett I don't give a d**n
[04:48.31]What is the truth and where did it go
[04:53.34]Ask Oswald and Ruby they oughta know
[04:59.05]"Shut your mouth" said a wise old owl
[05:05.10]Business is business and it's a murder most foul
[05:25.47]Tommy can you hear me I'm the Acid Queen
[05:32.26]I'm riding in a long black Lincoln limousine
[05:38.58]Ridin' in the back seat next to my wife
[05:43.81]Headed straight on in to the afterlife
[05:49.97]I'm leaning to the left I got my head in her lap
[05:55.45]Hold on I've been led into some kind of a trap
[06:00.54]Where we ask no quarter and no quarter do we give
[06:06.78]We're right down the street from the street where you live
[06:14.42]They mutilated his body and they took out his brain
[06:20.15]What more could they do they piled on the pain
[06:24.73]But his soul was not there where it was supposed to be at
[06:30.54]For the last fifty years they've been searchin' for that
[06:37.57]Freedom oh freedom freedom over me
[06:44.06]I hate to tell you mister but only dead men are free
[06:49.82]Send me some lovin' then tell me no lie

[07:59.96]I'm never gonna make it to the new frontier

[08:24.16]Ugliest thing that you ever have seen
[08:31.01]They killed him once and they killed him twice
[08:36.20]Killed him like a human sacrifice
