Had A Dream About You, Baby
Bob Dylan · Original Album Classics [2010]
It may be some place, baby, you say you where
I had a dream about you, baby
A dream about you, baby
Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.
You got the crazy rhythm when you walk
You make me nervous when you start to talk
I had a dream about you, baby
A dream about you, baby
Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.
Standin' on the highway, you flag me down
Said, take me, daddy, to the nearest town
I had a dream about you, baby
Had a dream about you, baby
Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.
The join is jumpin' it's really somethin'
The beat is pumpin, my heart is thumpin'
Spent my money on you honey
My limbs are shakin, my heart is breakin'
You kiss me, baby, in the coffee stop
You made me so bad, you gotta stop
I had a dream about you, baby
Had a dream about you, baby
Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.
The join is jumpin' it's really somethin'
The beat is pumpin, my heart is thumpin'
Spent my money on you honey
My limbs are shakin, my heart is breakin'
You had a white rag wrapped around your head
Wearing a long dress fire engine red
I had a dream about you, baby
Had a dream about you, baby
Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.
Had A Dream About You, Baby
Bob Dylan's "Had A Dream About You, Baby" stands as a quintessential example of his folk-rock period, blending acoustic storytelling with electric instrumentation. Recorded during the late 1960s, the track exemplifies Dylan's ability to weave personal narrative with broader social commentary, a hallmark of his discography from that era. The song features a driving rhythm section that contrasts with the delicate vocal delivery, creating a dynamic tension characteristic of his work on albums like *Blonde on Blonde* and *Nashville Skyline*. Released here as part of a curated collection of his classic recordings, the track remains a staple of his catalog, frequently covered by artists who recognize its enduring emotional resonance and lyrical complexity. It captures the transitional spirit of the decade, reflecting the shifting musical landscapes of the time.
