Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step,
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin’
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you

Though you might hear laughin’,
Spinnin’, swingin’ madly across the sun,
It’s not aimed at anyone, it’s just escapin’ on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin’.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin’ reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it’s just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn’t pay it any mind,
It’s just a shadow you’re seein’ that he’s chasing

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you

Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.
