Here are the lyrics for Jim Jones as transcribed by John 
Carpenter.  Any corrections gladly accepted.



	Jim Jones

Come and listen for a moment lads
and hear me tell my tale
how across the sea from England
I was condemned to sail.

While the jury found me guilty
Then says the judge says he
Over live corndoned I am sending you
Across the stormy sea.

Oh take a trip before you ship
to join the iron gang
Don't get _________ Botney Bay
or else you'll surely hang.

Or else you'll surely hang says he
and after that Jim Jones
Cause high above the gallows tree
The crows will pick your bones.

Now our ship was high upon the sea when
Pirates came along.
But the soldiers on our convict ship were
full 500 strong.

Well they opened fire and somehow drove
that pirate ship away
But I'd rather have joined that 
Pirate ship than gone to Botney bay.

With the storms a raging around us
and the winds a blowing gales
I'd rather have drowned in misery
than gone to New South Wales.

There's no time for mischief as they say
Remember that says they
For they'll flog the person out of you
Down there in Botney Bay.

So its day and night the irons clang and 
Like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil and when we die
must fill this haunted grave.

Well by and by I'll strip my chains
into the bush I'll go
I'll join the bravest rangers there
Jack Donahoe and Co.

And sometime the night and everything
is silent in the town
I'll slit those tyrants one and all
I'll gun the floggers down.

Oh I'll give the law a little shock
to remeber what I say
and then yet regret they sent
Jim Jones in chains to Botney Bay.

Is there a directory which lists Dylan's songs with the recorded cover
versions?  I remember in 1965 or 1966 there was a book of sheet music
with Dylan's songs published to that date.  That book did list the
cover versions recorded at that time.

The artwork of Good as I been to you may be disappoiting - no songtexts, no 
information at all, but one can find a difference between the lp and cd: the 
cd gives no songcredits at all, and the lp gives "traditionals arranged by 
Bob Dylan". Are all the songs 'traditionals'? Maybe someone can give some 
info on that.

As far as I know no albums are sold in the US; in Europe the situation is 
somewhat more complicated (as in everything). In Holland and most of
Western Europe just cd's and cassettes will be sold, exept for countries 
like Spain and Italy (more vinyl and tape). But I think the UK will release 
the album as well as cd's and cassettes, in large quantities.

The impression I get from the new album is that Dylan Recorded a bunch
of songs and picked a select few to be included on the final cut.  I
imagine there is a whole slew of outtakes that are equally as
wonderful.  Does anybody know if this is the case?  If so, have you
heard any?  Thanks in advance,

Someone else just mentioned getting a list and possible tape of other
versions of songs from GAIBTY by other artists.

I've got a couple:

Tomorrow Night by Lavern Baker.  It's on her "Soul on Fire" Greatest Hits
just recently put out by Atlantic.  Great version.

Sitting on Top of the World.  I know of three versions.  

One of my favorite songs of all time is Howling Wolf's version.  It's on
"Real Folk Blues" and the box set.

Also, Cream does a version but I haven't heard it in a while.

Also, on the disc "Will the Circle Be Unbroken, vol II" by Nitty Gritty
Dirt Band, there is some country artist, (name forgotten), that does a
very fast countryish version.  Interesting.

Anyway, I'd be interested in digging out other versions also.

Thanks,

Here are the words to Blackjack Davey as transcribed by
John Carpenter.  Corrections gladly accepted.


	Blackjack Davey

Blackjack Davey came a riding on by,
A whistling loud and merry.
made the words around him ring,
and he charmed the heart of a lady,
charmed the heart of a lady.

How old are you my pretty little miss?
how old are you my honey?
the answer to him with a loving smile,
I'll be sixteen come Sunday, 
Be sixteen come Sunday. 

Come and and go with me my pretty little miss
Come and go with my my honey.
Taking you where grass grows green,
You never will want for money,
Never will want for money.

Pull off, pull off those high heeled shoes,
All made of Spanish leather.
Get behind me on my horse,
and we'll ride off together,
We'll both ride off together.

Now she pulled off them high heeled shoes,
Made of Spanish Leather.
Got behind him on his horse
and they rode off together
They both rode off together.

That night the boss came home,
Inquiring about his lady.
Ther servant spoke before she thought,
"She's been with Blackjack Davey."
"Rode off with Blackjack Davey."

Saddle me up my old Balck Stud,
He's speedier than the grave.
I rode all day and I'll ride all night,
And I owe it to my lady,
I'll bring back my lady.

Well he rode all night till the broad daylight,
to a river a raging,
And there he spied his darling bride,
In the arms of Blackjack Davey,
Wrapped up with Blackjack Davey.

Pull off pull off them long blue gloves,
All made of the finest leather.
And give to me your lily white hand,
And we'll go home together,
We'll both go home together.

Well she pulled off them long blue gloves,
All made of Spanish leather,
Gave to him her lily white hand,
And say goodbye forever,
Bid farewell forever.

Would you foresake your house and home?
Would you foresake your baby?
Would you foresake you husband too
To go with Blackjack Davey?
Ride off with Blackjack Davey.

Well I've foresaken my house and home,
And I'll foresake my baby,
I'll foresake my husband too
for the love of Blackjack Davey.
Love my Blackjack Davey.

Last night I slept in a feather bed
Between my husband and baby
Tonight I lay on the river banks,
in the arms of Blackjack Davey.
Love my Blackjack Davey.

Maybe this is old news, but I just saw a book offered in the latest

called "Road Drawings" by Bob Dylan and it features 60 sketches made by
Dylan whilst on the road. Some of the drawings are nudes ("some
erotic", says the description) and consist of pen & ink, pencil,
crayon, etc.. Sale price is $18.00, regular price $20.00.

	I was able to purchase tickets at $35 per ticket(2 max) about 1 Hr.
after they went on sale. The more expensive seats were already sold out.
I purchased tickets at a record store that also sells tickets. I had to
get up very early(5am) to get a good position on line. There were very
few tickets sold after my turn. The 35 dollar seats were behind the
stage but were most enjoyable.

Has anyone considered that these long instrumental breaks are just a way for
Bob to pace himself? Vocally that is. In the past there have been many
complaints about his singing and these recent concerts seem to find Bob in
much better voice. Maybe there's a connection between long instrumental
breaks and better singing. Just wondering.

Good question on his voice, and I wish we could tell the difference
between him being lazy/not giving a shit and the actual deterioration
in his voice. I don't think we'll ever hear singing like what's on
BLOOD ON THE TRACKS again; I wonder if we'll ever hear "Every Grain of
Sand" even again. You cited "Pretty Boy Floyd" and yes, that was so
well sung I have frequently wondered if it was an outtake lying in the
can that he gave to the project. Does anyone know when/where that song
was recorded?

Also, someone else asked this but I'm curious too: why are there no
producer credits on this album, and does anyone know anything about
when it was recorded? And where?

Anyway, I have fallen in love with GAIBTY and I still can't believe
how well he plays guitar on it. His harmonica is, well, Boblike to be
kind :), but he lays off it for most of the disc. The guitar is just
great, sounds more like Robert Johnson than some folky fingerpicker.

Does anyone have a count on how many songs he's written, including unreleased of

This was definitely one of the best shows I've seen in years. The
acoustics were great. I could understand EVERY word ! Dylan was 
ANIMATED on stage. During the encore starting with Shooting Star he
was shuffling (ala James Brown) across the stage.

"Watchtower" featured a harmonica break (a full verse). I had pretty much
tired of "Maggie's Farm" but it has been reworked and re-energized.

I still don't like this band very much ! Jackson was gone (a plus for me)
but Diaz seemed lost to me as well.

I agree. The song appeals to me a lot. Maybe because of this litle personal
memory that didn't pop into my consciousness until the song firtst came
out of my stereo speakers. My father and uncle (both now dead) used to
talk about their mother singing this song to them as children. That would have
been in the 1920's and early 30's.

That's the last line of the song in every version I've heard. In Raph's
book, the line before it is "now go put the songbook on the shelf." In
another version I have, that line is "there's bread and cheese on the shelf."

But my favorite song on GAIBTY is "Tomorrow Night."

	There's also a strong presence of Blind Willie McTell's influence
on his guitar playing. If you like the acoustic blues, try McTell's Atlantic
