Patti Smith - The Wicked Messenger Lyrics
There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did come,
With a mind that multiplied
The smallest matter.
When questioned who had sent for him,
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter.
He stayed behind the assembly hall,
It was there he made his bed,
Oftentimes he could be seen returning.
Until one day he just appeared
With a note in his hand which read,
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning."
Oh, the leaves began to fallin'
And the people that confronted him were many.
And he was told but these few words,
Which opened up his heart,
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any."

John Wesley Harding Bob Dylan
I cant find the original from Dylan! WTF?!
Buy the John Wesley Harding Album. The original All Along the Watchtower, I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine. Great, great Album.
Great cover Patti!

What's the lyrics from 2:05 ?
If ye cannot bring good news,
then don't bring any."
Written by Bob Dylan
Why did the Bob Dylan version of this get wiped off of you tube exactly?? That's fucked up, obviously.
It seems all official Bob Dylan tracks are wiped from YouTube ASAP. Perhaps CBS have employed a team for this purpose?
What?? Do a quick search for, ''Bob Dylan.'' Nothing but official tracks. I think it was buried because of the type of melody he played in it. And it was obviously taken down by the record company. Duh.
