5 October 1978, Capital Centre, Largo, Maryland, Soundcheck. Released on The Bootleg Series Volume 13

 

Lost in a dream, wore no confection

I don't need to [??? my direction]

Walking out alone [???] [sue me]

And I do not believe it's gonna get any wonder

Yes there's a slow, slow train coming, up around the bend

 

I [ain't blind to seeing] you, you knew you thought I was blind

And I know what you telling me cause you couldn't make up your mind

Now it's all for, but for better, and I know for goodness' sake

Now that load you can be thinking that you made some kind of mistake

Cause there's a slow, slow train coming, around the bend

Yes there's a slow, slow train coming, around the bend

 

Now there's a slow, slow train coming, around the bend

Yes there's a slow, slow train coming up around the bend

Sometimes, feel so low-down and disgusted

Can't help but wonder what's happening to my companions

Are they lost or are they found, have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down

All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon

And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend

 

I had a woman down in Alabama

She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic

She said, boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out

You could die down here, be just another accident statistic

And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend

 

All that foreign oil, controlling American soil

Look around you, it's just bound to make you embarrassed

Sheiks walkin' around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings

Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to Paris

And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend

 

Man's ego's inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more

You can't rely no more to be standing' around waiting

In the home of the brave, Jefferson turning' over in his grave

Fools glorify themselves, trying to manipulate Satan

And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend

 

Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters

Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition

But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency

All non-believers and men stealers talking' in the name of religion

And there's a slow, there's a slow train comin' up around the bend

 

People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting

Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it

They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions

They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me someone who knows how to live it

There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend

 

Well, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talking boy she could destroy

A real suicide case, but there was nothin' I could do to stop it

I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy

But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets

And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend

Help Me Understand (Hank Williams)

First performed 5 October 1978, Capital Centre, Largo, Maryland, Soundcheck

 

5 October 1978, Capital Centre, Largo, Maryland, Soundcheck. Released on The Bootleg Series Volume 13

 

Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father help me understand

Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father help me understand

 

Friends I like to tell you a story about a family I once knew

We call them William and Mary and their little daughter Sue

Little Sue, eh Mary was just an average housewife but Bill was just a usual dad

And the had their little family arguments but neither one ever got mad

 

Then one day something happened, it was [nothing] of course

But one word led to another, and the last word led to a divorce

Now here's two grown up people who failed to use common sense

The straightened their own selfish [path] at little Sue's expense

 

You know she didn't ask to be brought to this world, to drift from pillar to post

But a divorce never stops to come to consider the one that is hurting the most

There'll be a lot more earnest loving in this cruel world today

If just e few parting parents could hear little Sue say

 

Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father help me understand

 

Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father help me understand

Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father (help me understand)

Legionnaire's Disease (Bob Dylan)

First performed 13 October 1978, Detroit, Michigan, The Olympia. Soundcheck before concert. No Dylan recording available

 

1981, recorded by Billy Cross and the Delta Cross Band, released on their album Up Front

 

Vocal Billy Cross and the Delta Cross Band

 

Some say it was radiation, some said: acid on the microphone

And some say it was a combination of things that turned their hearts to stone

But whatever it was, it drove them to their knees

Oh, that Legionnaire's disease

 

I wish I had a dollar for everyone that died within that year

Got 'em grabbed by the collar, and plenty a maiden shed a tear

Now beneath my heart, it sure put on a squeeze

Oh, that Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease

 

Now beneath my heart, it sure put on a squeeze

Oh, that Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease

 

Granddad fought in a revolutionary war, father in the War of 1812

Uncle fought down in Vietnam and then he fought a war all by himself

But whatever it was, it hit him like a tree

Oh, that Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease

It was Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease

Second Street and Broadway, stting in a door way, hat held in his hands

Looked to all the world like he was praying

foot wrapped in an old rag, bottle in a brown bag, then I see him try to stand

Then I heard the words that he was saying

 

He said come on Carrie, carry me a little farther, come on Carrie, carry me one more mile

I don't know where it's leading to but I know I can make it if I lean on you

So come on Carrie, carry me a little, I carried you, now carry me a little

Come on Carrie, carry me a little while

 

Struggled to his feet, staggered down the street to the window of five-and-dime

He stood and laughed at his reflection and then I heard him shoutin'

Something about that mountain that he could surely climb

If always she was pointing the direction

 

He said, Come on Carrie, carry me a little farther, come on Carrie, carry me one more mile

Well I don't know where it's leading to but I can make it if I lean on you

So come on Carrie, carry me a little

I carried you, now carry me a little, come on Carrie, carry me a little while

 

Come on Carrie, carry me a little while, come on Carrie

[???] and talk to me

Each night as I watched TV

I'd teasingly call her Chatterbox

 

Then she said one evening, Don't be scared

I see an angel on the stairs

Daddy, can you hear the angel talk

One more year of Daddy's little girl

One more year of Crackerjacks, bubble gum and sugar smacks

One more year of Daddy's little girl

30 April 1979, Sheffield, Alabama, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio,. 1st Slow Train Coming session. Released on The Bootleg Series Volume 13, disc 3 take 8

 

I got to know, Lord, when to pull back on the reins

Death can be the result of the most underrated pain

Satan whispers to you, Well, I don't want to bore you

When you get tired of that Miss So-and-so I got another woman for you

 

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind

 

Well the deeds that you do they don't add up to zero

It's what's inside that counts, ask any war hero

You think you can hide but you're never alone

Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone

 

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind

 

Well, here comes Satan, prince of the power of the air

He's gonna make you think he don't exist, he's gonna make a bird's nest in your hair

He'll make you a [law] unto yourself and make you worship the work of your own hands

Until you'll be serving strangers in a strange forsaken land

 

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind

 

Now, your true love has caught you where you do not belong

You say, everybody's doing it so I guess it can't be wrong

The truth is far from you, so you conveniently lie

Then you're all the time defending what you can never justify

 

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind

 

So many of my brothers, they still want to be the boss

They can't relate to the Lord's kingdom, they can't relate to the cross

They self-inflict punishment on their own broken lives

Put their faith in their possessions, in their jobs or their wives

 

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind

 

When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke

How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked

Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed

Lord keep my blind side covered, see that I don't bleed

 

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind

Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One (Bob Dylan)

1 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. 2nd Slow Train Coming session, #6. Released on The Bootleg Series Volume 13, disc 3 track 7

 

When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile

It don't matter about his position, it don't matter about his lifestyle

Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none

And there ain't no man that's righteous, no not one

 

Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood

He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good

Some like to worship the moon, others worship the sun

And there ain't no man that's righteous, no not one

 

Look around, you see so many social hypocrites

Making rules for others while they do just the opposite

 

You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag

Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag

In a city of darkness there's no need of the sun

And there ain't no man that's righteous, no not one

 

Done so many evil things in the name of love that it's a crying shame

I never did see no fire that could put out a flame

 

Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes

Keep talking, baby, 'til you run right out of alibis

Someday you'll account for the deeds that you done

Well, there ain't no man that's righteous, no not one

 

God got the power, man has got his vanity

Man gotta choose to let God set him free

Don’t you know there’s nothing new that’s under the sun

And then there ain’t no man that's righteous, no not one

 

When I’m gone don’t wonder where I be

Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me

Say He defeated the devil, He was God’s chosen Son

And that there ain’t no man that's righteous, no not one

Precious angel, under the sun

How was I to know you'd be the one

To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone

How weak was the foundation I was standing upon

 

Now there's spiritual warfare, flesh and blood breaking down

You either got faith or you got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground

The enemy is subtle, how be it we are so deceived

When the truth 's in our hearts and we still don't believe

 

Shine your light, shine your light on me, shine your light, shine your light on me

Shine your light, shine your light on me, You know I just couldn't make it by myself, I'm a little too blind to see

 

My so-called friends have fallen under a spell

They look me squarely in the eye and they say, well, all is well

Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high

When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die

 

Sister, let me tell you about a vision I saw

You were drawing water for your husband, you were suffering under the law

You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in one breath

You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal's death

 

Shine your light, shine your light on me, shine your light, shine your light on me

Shine your light, shine your light on me, You know I just couldn't make it by myself, I'm a little too blind to see

 

Precious angel, you believe me when I say

What God has given to us no man can take away

We are covered in blood, girl, you know both our forefathers were slaves

Let us hope they've found mercy in their bone-filled graves

 

You're the queen of my flesh, girl, you're my woman, you're my delight

You're the lamp of my soul, girl, and you torch up the night

But there's violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticed

On the way out of Egypt, through Ethiopia, to the judgment hall of Christ

 

Shine your light, shine your light on me, shine your light, shine your light on me

Shine your light, shine your light on me, You know I just couldn't make it by myself, I'm a little too blind to see

When You Gonna Wake Up (Bob Dylan)

First performed 2 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama

 

2 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. 3rd Slow Train Coming session,#3. Released on Slow Train Coming

 

God don't make promises that He don't keep

You got some big dreams, baby, but in order to dream you gotta still be asleep

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up, strengthen the things that remain

 

Counterfeit philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts

Karl Marx has got you by the throat and Henry Kissinger's got you tied up into knots

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up, strengthen the things that remain

 

You got innocent men in jail, your insane asylums are filled

You got unrighteous doctors dealing drugs that'll never cure your ills

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up, strengthen the things that remain

 

You got men who can't hold their peace, women who can't control their tongues

The rich seduce the poor and the old are seduced by the young

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up, strengthen the things that remain

 

Adulterers in churches and pornography in the schools

You got gangsters in power and lawbreakers making rules

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain

 

Spiritual advisors and gurus to guide your every move

Instant inner peace and every step you take has got to be approved

When you gonna wake up, said when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up, strengthen the things that remain

 

Do you ever wonder just what God requires

You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up, strengthen the things that remain

 

You can't take it with you and you know that it's too worthless to be sold

They tell you, time is money as if your life was worth its weight in gold

 

There a Man on a cross and He's been crucified for you

First performed 2 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama

 

2 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. 3rd Slow Train Coming session. Released on Slow Train Coming

 

Change my way of thinking, make myself a different set of rules

Gonna change my way of thinking, make myself a different set of rules

Gonna put my good foot forward, stop being influenced by fools

 

So much oppression, can't keep track of it no more

Said there's so much oppression, can't keep track of it no more

Sons becoming husbands to their mothers, old men turning young daughters into whores

 

Stripes on your shoulders, stripes on your back and on your hands

Stripes on your shoulders, stripes on your back and on your hands

Swords piercing your side, blood and water flowing through the land

 

Well don't know which one is worse, doing your own thing or just being cool

Don't know which is worse, doing your own thing or being cool

You remember only about the brass ring, you forget all about the golden rule

 

You can mislead a man, you can take ahold of his heart with your eyes

You can mislead a man, take hold of his heart with your eyes

But there's only one authority, that's the authority on high

 

I got a God-fearing woman, one I can easily afford

I got a God-fearing woman, one I can easily afford

She can do the Georgia crawl, she can walk in the spirit of the Lord

 

Jesus said, be ready, for you know not the hour which I come

Jesus said, be ready, for you know not the hour which I come

He said, who is not for Me is against Me, just you know where He's coming from

 

There's a kingdom called Heaven, a place where there is no pain of birth

There's a kingdom called Heaven, a place where there is no pain of birth

Well the Lord created it, mister, about the same time He made the earth

[Conversation with Mavis Staples]

 

Gonna sit at the welcome table, I'm as hungry as a horse

Sittin' at the welcome table, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse

I'm gonna revitalize my thinkin', I'm gonna let the law take its course

 

Jesus is coming, he's coming back to gather his jewels

Jesus is coming, he's coming back to gather his jewels

Well, we live by the golden rule: Whoever got the gold rules

 

The sun is shining, ain't but one train on this track

The sun is shining, ain't but one train on this track

I'm stepping out of the dark woods, I'm jumping on the monkey's back

 

Yes, I'm all dressed up, going to the country dance

Said, I'm all dressed up, going to the country dance

Every day you gotta pray for guidance, every day you gotta give yourself a chance

 

There be storms on the ocean, storms out on the mountain too

Storms on the ocean, storms out on the mountain too

O, Lord, you know I have no friend without you

 

I'll tell you something: things you never had, you'll never miss

I'll tell you something: things you never had, you'll never miss

Tell you something else, A great man will kill you with a sword, a coward with a kiss

First performed 2 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama

 

2 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. 3rd Slow Train Coming session. Released on The Bootleg Series Volume 13, disc 3 take 9

 

You harbor resentment

You know there ain’t too much of a thrill

You wish for contentment

But you got an emptiness that can’t be filled

You’ve had enough of hatred

Your bones are breaking, can’t find nothing sacred

 

Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed

In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows

The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes

And ye shall be changed

 

Everything you’ve gotten

You’ve gotten by sweat, blood and muscle

From early in the morning ’til way past dark

All you ever do is hustle

All your loved ones have walked out the door

You’re not even sure about your wife and kids no more, but

 

Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed

In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows

The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes

And ye shall be changed

 

The past don’t control you

But the future’s like a roulette wheel spinning

Deep down inside

You know you need a whole new beginning

Don’t have to go to Russia or Iran

Just surrender to God and He’ll move you right here where you stand, and

 

Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed

In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows

The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes

And ye shall be changed

 

You drink bitter water

And you been eating the bread of sorrow

Can’t live for today

When all you’re thinking of is tomorrow

The path you’ve endured has been rough

When you’ve decided that you’ve had enough

 

Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed

In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows

The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes

And ye shall be changed

 

Ye shall be changed. 790502

Oh, though the earth may shake me, oh, though my friends forsake me

Oh, even that couldn't make me go back

And I, I don't mind the pain, don't mind the driving rain, I know I will sustain

First performed 4 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama

 

4 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. 5th and last Slow Train Coming session. #9. Released on Slow Train Coming

 

The iron hand it ain't no match for the iron rod

The strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty God

For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears

It is only He who can reduce me to tears

Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn

Like a thief in the night, He'll replace wrong with right

When He returns

 

Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through

He unleashed His power at an unknown hour that no one knew

How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice

How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness

Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this pride, will I ever learn

That there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease

Until He returns

 

Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground, take off your mask

He sees your deeds, He knows your needs even before you ask

How long can you falsify and deny what is real

How long can you hate yourself for the weakness you conceal

Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned

He's got plans of His own to set up His throne

When He returns
