Bob Dylan - Spanish Harlem Incident (Another Side of Bob Dylan)
Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem
Cannot hold you to its heat.
Your temperature's too hot for taming,
Your flaming feet burn up the street.
I am homeless, come and take me
Into reach of your rattling drums.
Let me know, babe, about my fortune
Down along my restless palms.
Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed.
I have fallen far beneath
Your pearly eyes, so fast an' slashing,
An' your flashing diamond teeth.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Let me know, babe, I got to know, babe,
If it's you my lifelines trace.
I been wond'rin' all about me
Ever since I seen you there.
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding,
I know I'm 'round you but I don't know where.
You have slayed me, you have made me,
I got to laugh halfways off my heels.
I got to know, babe, will I be touching you
So I can tell if I'm really real.

Goxy63, Your photos are lovely. Many a young man in the 1970s tried (sometimes successfully) to seduce me by playing quietly in the background, this beautiful song. Dylan was such a multi-talented, mercurial artist, a true genius. But perhaps thats just me, stuck in my vanished youth, reminiscing in my old age......

I first heard this on my pops old marantz stereo when i was a kid, even though i did'nt know what the lyrics were really about then, the melody hit me hard,and i knew this man was singing and writing from the heart.. Bob you will always be..

I love Bob Dylan. So amazing yet so Dylanesque. He is probably my favorite Dylan.
