Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues - Bob Dylan

I saw it advertised one day

Bear Mountain picnic was comin’ my way

“Come along ’n’ take a trip

We’ll bring you up there on a ship

Bring the whole kids

Bring the wife family

Yippee!

Well, I run right down ’n’ bought a ticket

To this Bear Mountain Picnic

But little did I realize

I was in for a picnic surprise

Had nothin’ to do with mountains

I didn’t even come close to a bear

Took the wife ’n’ kids down to the pier

Six thousand people there

Everybody had a ticket for the trip

“Oh well,” I said, “it’s a pretty big ship

Besides, anyway, the more the merrier”

Well, we all got on ’n’ what d’ya think

That big old boat started t’ sink

More people kept a-pilin’ on

That old ship was a-slowly goin’ down

Funny way t’ start a picnic

Well, I soon lost track of m’ kids ’n’ wife

So many people there I never saw in m’ life

That old ship sinkin’ down in the water

Six thousand people tryin’ t’ kill each other

Dogs a-barkin’, cats a-meowin’

Women screamin’, fists a-flyin’, babies cryin’

Cops a-comin’, me a-runnin’

Maybe we just better call off the picnic

I got shoved down ’n’ pushed around

All I could hear there was a screamin’ sound

Don’t remember one thing more

Just remember wakin’ up on a little shore

Head busted, Feet busted

Feet splintered stomach cracked

he were tall she say she corres roff

I was bald, naked . . .

Quite lucky to be alive though

Feelin’ like I climbed outa m’ casket

I grabbed back hold of m’ picnic basket

Took the wife ’n’ kids ’n’ started home

Wishin’ I’d never got up that morn

Now, I don’t care just what you do

If you wanta have a picnic, that’s up t’ you

But don’t tell me about it, I don’t wanta hear it

’Cause, see, I just lost all m’ picnic spirit

Stay in m’ kitchen, have m’ own picnic . . .

In the bathroom

Now, it don’t seem to me quite so funny

What some people are gonna do f’r money

There’s a bran’ new gimmick every day

Just t’ take somebody’s money away

I think we oughta take some o’ these people

And put ’em on a boat,

send ’em up to Bear Mountain . . .

For a picnic
