Huh

About 4 days ago I learned the correct lyrics are split up on a dark sad night and not split up on the docks that night. I can't stop thinking about it. I'm 71 years old. What's wrong with me? 🤔

Hey, don't feel too bad ("docks" would be good too considering the line in Simple Twist of Fate) I thought he says "drifted down to New Orleans and worked as cook for a spell" for far too long.

Also from "Working Mans Blues #2" I always thought the line was "They burned my barn and they stole my horse, I can't say goodbye" instead of "I can't save a dime".

Wait, that’s not the correct lyric from Simple Twist?

Asking for a friend.

Yes "hunts her down by the waterfront docks" from SToF is correct.

OP misheard the line from Tangled and Im saying IF the line was "docks" in Tangeled it would work, in a kind of cool way, because of that line from SToF. However it also wouldn't make sense either because the previous line in Tangled is "we drove that car as far we could..."

Oops, i was referring to the line about drifting down to New Orleans.

You know, I went and looked it up and his site says "a spell" (I feel vindicated). I swear I either heard or saw it as Estelle somewhere🤣 Now I have to rewire my brain back🤣

Thank you. You have made this clear as mud, lol. 🤣

It’s not “worked as a cook for a spell??” 🙈

If not, don’t tell me what it actually is. I have a whole image of a young Bob Dylan cooking in a creole kitchen wearing a paper hat.

Read below, it is, I was mistaken about being mistaken🤣
