2. What song does this lyric, "Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping trail" come from?

Answer: Chimes of Freedom

"Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder"

"the colors of Friday were dull / as cathedral bells were gently burnin / strikin for the gentle / strikin for the kind / strikin for the crippled ones / an strikin for the blind" is a line from a book of poetry Bob wrote, which was written before "Another Side" came out, but published after. The line is slightly different in "Chimes of Freedom".

Bob yodels in part of this song.

Answer: My Back Pages

"My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,

Answer: Black Crow Blues

You can come to me sometime,
Night time, day time,
Any time you want."

The timeless explosion of fantasy's dream.

Tumbled all down into pieces."

Answer: I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)

An' to come each time you call,
A lover for your life an' nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe."

Johnny Cash and The Turtles also recorded covers of the song.

Move in next door and marry my daughter
You must think I'm crazy!
I wouldn't let him do it for all the farms in Cuba."
