[Chorus]
I got a wife and five little chilling
I'm going to take a trip on the big McMillan
With Saro Jane
Saro Jane
I have nothing to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane

[Verse 1]
The boiler busted and the whistle squall
The Captain has gone through the hole-in-the-wall
Oh Saro Jane
Saro Jane
I have nothing to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane

[Verse 2]
The engine give a crack and the whistle gave a squall
The engineer gone to the hole-in-the-wall
Saro Jane
Saro Jane
I have nothing to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane

[Verse 3]
Yankee built boats to shoot them Rebels
My gun's steady going to hold it level
Saro Jane
Saro Jane
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane

[Chorus]

Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman May 24, 1941), is an American singer-songwriter, writer, and artist who has influenced popular music and culture for more than five decades. Dylan has especially played a critical role in the American folk music revival.

Dylan’s songs are built from myriad political, social, philosophical and literary influences. Many of his anti-war and civil-rights-influenced songs set social unrest, as journalists widely named him the “spokesman for his generation” in the 1960s.

The musician has a signature change in voice and style in many different albums of his throughout the decades. He has notably explored and experimented with the genres of folk, rap, blues, and rock.
