Bob Dylan - Ruben Remus lyrics

Wrote a letter this mornin'

Put it in your hat

'Cause no one to read it

And I know you knew that

I bought a joke, a trick or two

Just to bring and show you

Caught ya with the trickster too

Sometimes I wonder how ya knew

A hypnotist, fancytalker

Ruben remus ain't no doctor

I knew the man and tried to remember

Just where it was that I'd seen his face

Long ago, in a movie show

He was like that man singin' bass

Knew him by his nurs'ry rhyme

The story of the rabbit man

Fell right in and said to him

"I'd like to help you if I can."

I know the film would only shock ya

Ruben remus ain't no doctor

He only needed what you had

Asked for nothing moreBob Dylan - Ruben Remus - http://motolyrics.com/bob-dylan/ruben-remus-lyrics.html

Said he'd like to take you on

But it's been done before

You couldn't see he's a travelin' man

And he cannot take your hand

It's very hard to understand

Why his songs were never banned

Guess the man would never knock ya

Ruben remus ain't no doctor

No one seen ya since he's been gone

It's been a day, maybe more

I took a walk in your yard

And knocked on your back door

Why don't you let me in?

I'm not the man who did ya in

Is mr. remus still your friend?

You say you don't remember him

Turn me down, would ya?

Well, I've got news for you

Turn me down would ya

Can't ya tell

I'm gonna change your mind before i'm trough
