[00:00:02] The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest

[00:00:04] (mono version) - Bob Dylan

[00:00:13] Well Frankie Lee and Judas Priest

[00:00:16] They were the best of friends

[00:00:19] So when Frankie Lee needed money one day

[00:00:23] Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens

[00:00:27] And placed them on a footstool

[00:00:29] Just above the plotted plain

[00:00:32] Sayin’ “Take your pick Frankie Boy

[00:00:36] My loss will be your gain”

[00:00:39] Well Frankie Lee he sat right down

[00:00:42] And put his fingers to his chin

[00:00:45] But with the cold eyes of Judas on him

[00:00:49] His head began to spin

[00:00:52] “Would ya please not stare at me like that ”

[00:00:55] He said

[00:00:55] “It’s just my foolish pride

[00:00:58] But sometimes a man must be alone

[00:01:01] And this is no place to hide”

[00:01:04] Well Judas he just winked and said

[00:01:07] “All right I’ll leave you here

[00:01:11] But you’d better hurry up and choose

[00:01:13] Which of those bills you want

[00:01:15] Before they all disappear”

[00:01:18] “I’m gonna start my pickin’ right now

[00:01:20] Just tell me where you’ll be”

[00:01:24] Judas pointed down the road

[00:01:26] And said “Eternity ”

[00:01:30] “Eternity ” said Frankie Lee

[00:01:33] With a voice as cold as ice

[00:01:37] “That’s right ” said Judas Priest “Eternity

[00:01:39] Though you might call it ‘Paradise’”

[00:01:43] “I don’t call it anything”

[00:01:46] Said Frankie Lee with a smile

[00:01:49] “All right ” said Judas Priest

[00:01:52] “I’ll see you after a while”

[00:01:55] Well Frankie Lee he sat back down

[00:01:58] Feelin’ low and mean

[00:02:01] When just then a passing stranger

[00:02:04] Burst upon the scene

[00:02:07] Saying “Are you Frankie Lee the gambler

[00:02:10] Whose father is deceased

[00:02:14] Well if you are

[00:02:15] There’s a fellow callin’

[00:02:16] You down the road

[00:02:17] And they say his name is Priest”

[00:02:20] “Oh yes he is my friend”

[00:02:23] Said Frankie Lee in fright

[00:02:27] “I do recall him very well

[00:02:29] In fact he just left my sight”

[00:02:33] “Yes that’s the one ”

[00:02:34] Said the stranger

[00:02:35] As quiet as a mouse

[00:02:38] “Well my message is

[00:02:40] He’s down the road

[00:02:42] Stranded in a house”

[00:02:45] Well Frankie Lee he panicked

[00:02:48] He dropped ev’rything and ran

[00:02:51] Until he came up to the spot

[00:02:54] Where Judas Priest did stand

[00:02:58] “What kind of house is this ”

[00:03:00] He said

[00:03:00] “Where I have come to roam ”

[00:03:04] “It’s not a house ” said Judas Priest

[00:03:07] “It’s not a house it’s a home”

[00:03:10] Well Frankie Lee he trembled

[00:03:12] He soon lost all control

[00:03:16] Over ev’rything which he had made

[00:03:19] While the mission bells did toll

[00:03:23] He just stood there staring

[00:03:25] At that big house as bright as any sun

[00:03:29] With four and twenty windows

[00:03:32] And a woman’s face in ev’ry one

[00:03:35] Well up the stairs ran Frankie Lee

[00:03:38] With a soulful bounding leap

[00:03:42] And foaming at the mouth

[00:03:44] He began to make his midnight creep

[00:03:48] For sixteen nights and days he raved

[00:03:51] But on the seventeenth he burst

[00:03:54] Into the arms of Judas Priest

[00:03:57] Which is where he died of thirst

[00:04:01] No one tried to say a thing

[00:04:03] When they took him out in jest

[00:04:07] Except of course

[00:04:08] The little neighbor boy

[00:04:10] Who carried him to rest

[00:04:13] And he just walked along alone

[00:04:15] With his guilt so well concealed

[00:04:19] And muttered underneath his breath

[00:04:22] “Nothing is revealed”

[00:04:37] Well the moral of the story

[00:04:41] The moral of this song

[00:04:44] Is simply that one should never be

[00:04:47] Where one does not belong

[00:04:50] So when you see your neighbor carryin’

[00:04:52] Somethin’

[00:04:53] Help him with his load

[00:04:57] And don’t go mistaking Paradise

[00:04:58] For that home across the road
