I was[G] riding[C/g] on the [G]Mayflower
When I thought I spied some land
I yelled for Captain Arab
I have yuh understand
Who came[C] running to the deck
Said, "Boys, forget the whale
[G]Look on over yonder
Cut the engine, change the sail
[D]Haul on the bowline"
We sang that melody
Like[G] all tough sailors do
When they are far away at sea
"I [G]think I'll[C/g] call it A[G]merica"
I said as we hit land
I took a deep breath
I fell down, I could not stand
[C]Captain Arab he started
Writing up some deeds
He said, "[G]Let's set up a fort
And start buying the place with beads"
Just[D] then this cop comes down the street
Crazy as a loon
He [G]throw us all in jail
For carryin' harpoons
Ah[G] me I[C/g] busted[G] out
Don't even ask me how
I went to get some help
I walked by a Guernsey cow
Who[C] directed me down
To the Bowery slums
Where [G]people carried signs around
Saying, "Ban the bums"
I jumped[D] right into line
Sayin', "I hope that I'm not late"
When I[G] realized I hadn't eaten
For five days straight
I[G] went in[C/g]to a [G]restaurant
Lookin' for the cook
I told them I was the editor
Of a famous etiquette book
The[C] waiter he was handsome
He wore a powder blue cape
I[G] ordered some suzette, I said
"Could you please make that crepe"
Just[D] then the whole kitchen exploded
From boilin' fat
[G]Food was flying everywhere
And I left without my hat
Now, I [G]didn't[C/g] mean to be[G] nosy
But I went into a bank
To get some bail for Arab
And all the boys back in the tank
They[C] asked me for some collateral
And I pulled down my pants
They[G] threw me in the alley
When up comes this girl from France
Who in[D]vited me to her house
I went, but she had a friend
Who[G] knocked me out and robbed my boots
And I was on the street again
Well, I[G] rapped u[C/g]pon a[G] house
With the U.S. flag upon display
I said, "Could you help me out
I got some friends down the way"
The [C]man says, "Get out of here
I'll tear you limb from limb"
I said, "[G]You know they refused Jesus, too"
He said, "You're not Him
Get[D] out of here before I break your bones
I ain't your pop"
I de[G]cided to have him arrested
And I went looking for a cop
[G]I ran[C/g] right out[G]side
And I hopped inside a cab
I went out the other door
This Englishman said, "Fab"
As he[C] saw me leap a hot dog stand
And a chariot that stood
[G]Parked across from a building
Advertising brotherhood
I[D] ran right through the front door
Like a hobo sailor does
But it was[G] just a funeral parlor
And the man asked me who I was
I[G] repeated [C/g]that my [G]friends
Were all in jail, with a sigh
He gave me his card
He said, "Call me if they die"
I[C] shook his hand and said goodbye
Ran out to the street
When a [G]bowling ball came down the road
And knocked me off my feet
A[D] pay phone was ringing
It just about blew my mind
When I[G] picked it up and said hello
This foot came through the line
Well,by [G]this time [C/g]I was[G] fed up
At tryin' to make a stab
At bringin' back any help
For my friends and Captain Arab
I de[C]cided to nip a coin
Like either heads or tails
Would[G] let me know if I should go
Back to ship or back to jail
So I[D] hocked my sailor suit
And I got a coin to flip
It[G] came up tails it rhymed with sails
So I made it back to the ship
Well,[G] I got[C/g] back and[G] took
The parkin' ticket off the mast
I was ripping it to shreds
When this coastguard boat went past
[C]They asked me my name
And I said, "Captain Kidd"
They be[G]lieved me but
They wanted to know
What exactly that I did
I [D]said for the Pope of Eruke
I was employed
They[G] let me go right away
They were very paranoid
Well, the[G] last I[C/g] heard of A[G]rab
He was stuck on a whale
That was married to the deputy
Sheriff of the jail
But the[C] funniest thing was
When I was leavin' the bay
I [G]saw three ships a-sailin'
They were all heading my way
I[D] asked the captain what his name was
And how come he didn't drive a truck
He[G] said his name was Columbus
I just said, "Good luck."

Copyright - 1965 Columbia Records
"Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" narrates a surreal experience involving the discovery of America, the cast of Moby Dick and numerous bizarre encounters. It is the longest song in the electric section of the album, starting out as an acoustic ballad before being interrupted by laughter, and then starting back up again with an electric blues rhythm. The music is so similar in places to Another Side of Bob Dylan's "Motorpsycho Nitemare" as to be indistinguishable from it but for the electric instrumentation.
Lyrics:

When I thought I spied some land

Haul on the bowline"
We sang that melody
Like all tough sailors do
When they are far away at sea
"I think I'll call it America"
I said as we hit land

He said, "Let's set up a fort
And start buying the place with beads"

Bringing It All Back Home - 07 Bob Dylan's 115th Dream
The seventh track, Bob Dylan's 115th Dream, of the 1965 album 'Bringing It All Back Home.'
Bob Dylan's 115th Dream
In January 1961 Bob Dylan dropped out of school and headed for New York City. He started out playing in small clubs and coffeehouses in Greenwich Village, where he would soon make a name for himself. Columbia A&R man John Hammond soon signed him.and produced Dylan's debut which was released in March of 1962. The self titled album, a collection of folk and blues standards, contained only two original songs. Dylan was only 21 years old at this point, but all ready had his nasal voice which made him sound a bit older and different from other singers.
After his first release he began to write lot of political protest songs. His next album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, released in '63 was comprised entirely of original songs. By the time his third album hit, The Times They Are A-Chang in 1964, Dylan was growing tiried with the label tagged on him as a "protest singer and writer". The new album's title cut was of course another great protest song but he hinted that he wanted to change. On his next release, also in '64, Another Side of Bob Dylan, was just that. His least topical to date, and its finale cut, "It Ain't Me Babe," was in a way a goodbye to the folk movement he had helped reinvigorate.
1965 was one big year for Dylan.
When Bringing It All Back Home was released, it was a half-electric, half-acoustic album. Besides "Mr. Tambourine Man" it also had on it classics like "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and "Subterranean Homesick Blues" which featuring the famous line, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows". Then at the '65 Newport Folk Festival with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, he was booed off the stage when he started to play electric. Dylan being Dylan, could care less and told the crowd "that was the way we used to play and this is how we play now". Around mid 1965 he recorded yet another album, Highway 61 Revisited. It was his first full-fledged rock & roll album and included the hit single "Like A Rolling Stone", which clocked in at six minutes, the first single ever of such length to be put out by any artist. Around this time he also broke off with Baez and started dating a model named Sara Lowndes. They would marry by the year's end. Also in late '65 he would hire The Hawks as his touring band. They had played for Ronnie Hawkins, where they got the name, but would change names to "the Band" two years later.
In 1966 he released the double album Blonde on Blonde, with songs like "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35", "Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again" and "Just Like A Woman". The album sold over 10 million copies. But everything would come to a halt on July 29, 1966. Dylan was in a near-fatal motorcycle accident which broke his neck. He returned in December of 1967 with the country rock album John Wesley Harding, recorded in Nashville with a three-piece backing band, it would go to number 2 on the Billboard charts. The next album released in '68, Nashville Skyline was even more country, but some fans were growing tired with his new sound. Still it contained the hit single "Lay Lady Lay".
In 1970 the double LP Self Portrait was put out to hostile reviews. Rolling Stone magazine led the way, actually asking the question "What is this shit?" in their review of the album. But just four months later he released New Morning and the album was hailed as a comeback.
In January of '74 Planet Waves was released and would be his first number 1 album. He and the Band went on a sold out 40 show tour which in turn produced the two record live set, Before the Flood. Just before the tour Dylan and his wife Sara split. That breakup would toll heavy on his mind and his next album, Blood on the Tracks, released in '75 reflected what he was going through. This album also went to number 1 on the charts. Soon after Dylan was back on tour with the Rolling Thunder Revue, which featured old friends like Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Mick Ronson, Jonie Mitchell, Roger McGuinn and poet Allen Ginsberg. The tour went on into 1976. During this time, Desire was released , it was his third straight number 1 hit album.
