It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)

I'd wish I'd sailed the darkened seas on a great big clipper ship going from this land here to there on a sailor's suit and cap away from the big city.

Because what Bob Dylan was doing around this time, well no, a little bit before this time, was, you know, extending the verses and adding extra bits to the lines, like in songs like It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding or Chimes of Freedom or Hard Rain's Gonna Fall that kind of thing where he kind of gets a little rhyme and just repeats it so all the verses are different lengths with lots of half rhymes and the last verse very similar in this one because when the smack begins to flow I don't care anymore about all the jim jims in this town that verse Yeah, it's a crazy

song.

It's an amazing song as well.
