Bob Dylan – Handy Dandy (Under The Red Sky Outtake 1990)
LYRICS
He been around the world and back again
Something in the moonlight still hounds him
Handy dandy, just like sugar and candy
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says
“Strike up the band”, they hit it
Handy dandy, handy dandy
He says, “Can you repeat what you said?”
You’ll say, “What are you afraid of?”
He’ll say, “Nothin’ neither ‘live nor dead”
He says, “Darling, tell me the truth, how much time I got?”
She says, “You got all the time in the world, honey”
Handy dandy, Handy dandy
He’s got that soft silky skin
He’s got that fortress on the mountain
With no doors, no windows, no thieves can break in
He says, “Ya want a gun? I’ll give you one.” She says, “Boy, you talking crazy”
Handy dandy, just like sugar and candy
Handy dandy, pour him another brandy
He finishes his drink, he gets up from the table he says,
“Okay, boys, I’ll see you tomorrow”
Handy dandy, handy dandy, just like sugar and candy
Handy dandy, just like sugar and candy
