Man on the Street (Fragment)Bob Dylan

Songwriter: Bob Dylan

[Verse 1]
Well I'll sing you a song, It ain't very long
About an old man, he never done wrong
How he died no one can say
They found him dead in the street one day

[Verse 2]
Well, the crowd, they gathered one fine morn
At the man whose clothes 'n' shoes were torn
There on the sidewalk he did lay
They stopped 'n' stared 'n' they went their way

[Verse 3]
Well, the p'liceman come and he looked around
"Get up, old man, or I'm a-takin' you down."
And he jabbed him once with his billy club
The old man then rolled off the curb

Well, hmm Jesus I just can't get it, I-I lost the verses

Bob Dylan

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.
