Written by 
Bob Dylan 
Lay down your weary tune, lay down 
Lay down the song you strum 
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings 
No voice can hope to hum 
Sruck by the sounds before the sun 
I knew the night had gone 
The morning breeze like a bugle blew 
Against the drums of dawn 
Lay down your weary tune, lay down 
Lay down the song you strum 
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings 
No voice can hope to hum 
The ocean wild like an organ played 
The seaweed wove its strands 
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed 
Against the rocks and sands 
Lay down your weary tune, lay down 
Lay down the song you strum 
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings 
No voice can hope to hum 
The last of leaves fell from the trees 
And clung to a new love's breast 
The branches bare like a banjo played 
To the winds that listened best 
Lay down your weary tune, lay down 
Lay down the song you strum 
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings 
No voice can hope to hum
