This Evening So Soon (unreleased, Self Portrait) Songtext
von Bob Dylan

Remember this?
Remember Bob Gibson?

Tell old Bill when he comes home this mornin′?
Tell old Bill when he comes home this evenin'?
Tell old Bill when he comes home to leave them downtown girls alone
This morning, this evenin′, so soon

Old Sal was baking bread this morning
Old Sal was baking bread this evenin'?
Old Sal was baking bread, when she found out her Bill was dead
This morning, this evenin', so soon


She said, "Oh, no, it can′t be so this mornin?
Oh no, it can′t be so this evenin'?"
She said "Oh, no, it can′t be so
My Bill left home 'bout an hour ago
This morning, this evenin′, so soon"

Well, they brought Bill home in a hurry up wagon this morning
They brought Bill home in a hurry up wagon this evenin'
Well, they brought Bill home in a hurry up wagon
His arms, his legs, his feet were draggin′
This morning, this evenin', so soon
So soon
So soon
So soon

Tell old Bill, when he gets home this morning
Tell old Bill when he comes home this evenin'
Yes, tell old Bill when he comes home to leave them downtown girls alone
This morning, this evenin′, so soon
So soon
So soon
