CORRINA, CORRINA
(Bob Dylan - 1962)
Corrina,
Corrina,
Gal, where you been so long?
Corrina, Corrina,
Gal, where you been so long?
I been worr'in' 'bout you, baby,
Baby, please come home.
I got a bird that whistles,
I got a bird that sings.
I got a bird that whistles,
I got a bird that sings.
But I ain' a-got Corrina,
Life don't mean a thing.
Corrina, Corrina,
Gal, you're on my mind.
Corrina, Corrina,
Gal, you're on my mind.
I'm a-thinkin' 'bout you, baby,
I just can't keep from crying.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
OF THE SONG'S BACKGROUND
Corrina, Corrina
has
been considerably changed by Dylan. "I'm not one of those guys
who goes around changing songs just for the sake of changing them.
But I'd never heard Corrina, Corrina exactly the way it first was,
so that (is why each time it is sung) is the way it came out of
me." As he indicates here, Dylan can be tender without being
sentimental and his lyricism is laced with unabashed passion.
