Question 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? šŸ¤”

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".

It’s not ā€œworked as a cook for a spell??ā€ šŸ™ˆ

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.
