Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning [bad word] followin' you.

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning [bad word] followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning [bad word] followin' you.

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly through the sun,
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on [bad word] And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, I wouldn't pay it any mind,
It's just a ragged clown behind, and if to you he looks blind,
I woulndn't wear it, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning [bad word] followin' you.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the [bad word] of time, far past the frozen leaves, 
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
Driving memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning [bad word] followin' you.
