clothes line saga - bob dylan & the band lyrics

[verse 1]
after a while we took in the clothes
n0body said very much
just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants
which n0body really wanted to touch
mama come in and picked up a book
and papa asked her what it was
someone else asked, “what do you care?”
papa said, “well, just because”
then they started to take back their clothes
hang them on the line
it was january the thirtieth
and everybody was feelin’ fine

[verse 2]
the next day everybody got up
seeing if the clothes were dry
the dogs were barking, a neighbor p-ssed
mama, of course, she said, “hi”
“have you heard the news?” he said with a grin
“the vice-president’s gone mad!”
“where?” “downtown” “when?” “last night”
“hmm, say, that’s too bad”
“well, there’s nothing we can do about it,” said the neighbor
“it’s just something we’re gonna have to forget”
“yes, i guess so,” said ma
then she asked me if the clothes were still wet

[verse 3]
i reached up, touched my shirt
and the neighbor said, “are those clothes yours?”
i said, “some of them, not all of them”
he said, “ya always help out around here with the ch0r-s?”
i said, “sometime, not all the time”
then my neighbor, he blew his nose
just as papa yelled outside
“mama wants you to come back in the house and bring them clothes”
(woo-hoo)
well, i just do what i’m told
so, i did it, of course
i went back in the house and mama met me
and then i shut all the doors
