Title: If You See Her, Say Hello
Artist: Bob Dylan
Album: My Boots And Sombrero (Track #15)
Duration: 06:22
Label: Sony Music Entertainment
If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier
She left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear
Say for me that I'm all right though things get kind of slow
She might think that I've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so.
We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill
And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
I always have respected her for busting out and gettin' free
Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay.
I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
My Boots And Sombrero.
From Maine To Spain Vol 1
A LostChords compilation, July 2008
"My boots and sombrero,
My saddle my spurs,
If I die tomorrow,
Everything will be hers."
(new lyrics in "Beyond The Horizon")
Many thanks to Stew for support, recommendations & artwork
Many thanks to all the tapers for their great work!
I tried to put this compilation together as a very subjective overview of this tour and combined some of the better one-off performances ("I Shall Be Released", "Make You Feel My Love", "Can't Wait", "Every Grain Of Sand", "Cry A While") with some of my favourite versions of old and new standards: a swinging "Summer Days" with great guitar work by Freeman, Kimball & Herron; a tremendous "Like A Rolling Stone"; the re-arranged "Tangled Up In Blue" (the audience in Varazdin was very talkative but for me this performance was the best version); "Rollin' And Tumblin'" with an extended slide solo by Denny Freeman; a very fine "Just Like A Woman" with the audience singing the refrain & another excellent solo by Freeman closing the song; "Spirit Of The Water", with Freeman once again quoting "Blue Moon" during his solo; a reinvigorated "Honest With Me" with Donnie Herron's ominous and very effective pedal steel riff; a very beautiful "Sugar Baby" from Salzburg.
I hope it's an enjoyable compilation.
A second volume (I think I will call it "My saddle And Spurs") is in preparation & should be ready in a couple of weeks.
