~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must leave now.. take what you need you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep.. you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out, the Saints are comin' thru
And it's all over now, Baby Blue..
The highway is for gamblers.. better use your sense
And take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty handed painter from your street
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheet
The sky, too.. is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue..
All your seasick sailors.. they are rowing home
Your empty handed armies, are all going home
Your lover who has just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
#The carpet, too is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue [Harmonica break 4 lines] #
Leave your stepping stones behind.. something calls for you
And forget the dead you've left.. they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
It´s all over now, Baby Blue.. (outro)

Harmonica key of Bb

Featured on his Bringing It All Back Home album, released on March 22, 1965 by Columbia Records (see 1965 in music). The song was originally recorded on January 15, 1965 with Dylan's acoustic guitar and harmonica and William E. Lee's bass guitar the only instrumentation. The lyrics were heavily influenced by Symbolist poetry and bid farewell to the titular "Baby Blue." There has been much speculation about the real life identity of "Baby Blue", with suspects including Joan Baez, David Blue, Paul Clayton, Dylan's folk music audience, and even Dylan himself.
"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" has been covered many times by a variety of different artists, including Baez, Them, The Byrds, The Animals, The Chocolate Watch Band, Graham Bonnet, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, Marianne Faithfull, Falco, The 13th Floor Elevators, and the Grateful Dead. Them's version, released in 1966 influenced garage bands during the mid-60's and Beck later sampled it for his 1996 single "Jack-Ass".The Byrds recorded the song twice in 1965 as a possible follow up single to "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "All I Really Want to Do", but neither recording was released in that form. The Byrds did release a 1969 recording of the song on their Ballad of Easy Rider album
