This is the version from the Bob Dylan Album "Self Portrait" which has many subtle
lyrical differences from the version on "Biograph"
Bob Dylan / Manfred Mann / The Grateful Dead / The Hollies
The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)
(Bob Dylan)
(VERSE 1):
Well, Everybody's building big ships and boats
Some are making monuments and others are jotting down notes
Everybody's in dispair, every girl and boy
But when Quinn, The Eskimo, gets here
Everybody's gonna jump for joy
(CHORUS):
Come all without,
Come all within,
You'll not see nothing like The Mighty Quinn
(VERSE 2):
Whoa! You know I like to do just a-like the rest
You know, I like my sugar sweet
But, jumpin' queues and makin' haste
You know that ain't my cup of meat
Everybody's out there feeding pidgeons out on a limb
But when Quinn, The Eskimo, gets here,
Them pidgeons gonna run to him
Whoa!
[Well, that guitar now!]
(GUITAR SOLO)
(VERSE 3):
A cow's moo and a cat's meow
You know, I- I can recite them all
Tell me where it hurts you honey and I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get any sleep
You know, there's someone on everyone's toes
Quinn, The Eskimo, gets here everybody's gonna wanna doze
