Bob Dylan-Ring Them Bells
Bob Dylan, Tomorrow is a long time
LYRICS (Ring Them Bells)
Ring them bells, ye heathen
From the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
’Cross the valleys and streams
For they’re deep and they’re wide
And the world’s on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the brideRing them bells St. Peter
Where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand
So the people will know
Oh it’s rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down
Upon the sacred cowRing them bells Sweet Martha
For the poor man’s son
Ring them bells so the world will know
That God is one
Oh the shepherd is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled
With lost sheepRing them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When innocence diesRing them bells St. Catherine
From the top of the room
Ring them from the fortress
For the lilies that bloom
Oh the lines are long
And the fighting is strong
And they’re breaking down the distance
Between right and wrong
May 6 1961 – Bob Dylan was at Indian Neck Folk Festival 1961 (18 Photos)
Thanks but it is actually from Vicar Street the day before he played in the Point.
That’s in Vicar Street Dublin not The Point
As above, these are from the Vicar St show – the date is correct. Two very different venues. Vicar St balcony is very close to the stage, while the balcony in The Point was way at the back of the hall. Around 1000 people at Vicar Street, more like 10,000 the next night at the Point (I was at both shows).
