BOB DYLAN

Lyrics and music:Robert Dylan

Key:

One evenin ' for pleasure I rambled to view

The fa ir fields a ll alon e

Down by the banks of Lo ch Erin

Where be auty and pleasure were kno wn.

I sp ied a fair maid at her la bors

Which ca used me to stay for a wh ile

And I th ought of this goddess of be auty

Blo omin' bright star of Belle Is le.

I humbled my s elf to her bea uty.

"fair ma iden where do you bel ong?

Are you from he aven descend ed

A bi ding in Cupid's fair th rone?"

"young m an i will tell you a se cret.

It's t rue I'm a maid that is p oor

And to pa rt from my vows and my pro mise

That's mo re then my heart can end ure."

"there fo re I remain at my serv ice

And go thr ough all my hard ship and to il

And wa it for the la d that has left me

All alon e on the ban ks of Belle Isl e."

"Young maid en I wish not t o banter.

'Tis tr ue I come here in disgu ise.

I came to fulfill our last p romise

And ho pe to give you a sur prise."

"I've kn own you're a maid I love dea rly

And you've be en in my he art all the whi le.

For m e there is n o other da msel

Than my blo oming bright st ar of Belle Isle ."
