Did you ever hear that coffin sound
Did you ever hear that coffin sound
Did you ever hear that coffin sound
Means another poor boy is underground.
Did you ever hear them church bells tone
Have you ever hear that church bells tone
Did you ever hear them church bells tone
Means another poor boy is dead and gone.
And my heart stopped beating and my hands turned cold
And my heart stopped beating and my hands turned cold
And my heart stopped beating and my hands turned cold
Now I believe what the bible told.
There's just one last favor I'll ask of you
And there's one last favor I'll ask of you
There's just one last favor I'll ask of you
See that my grave is kept clean.
Version from the Third McKenzie Tape (1962)
After singing one verse of this version, Dylan breaks off and says,
"I don't play it like that anymore". Notice the extra beat in the
measures with the intro figure, which breaks up the steady thumb movement.
It takes some concentration or some practice to get it right.
