Lyric research by Parker Fishel
Although “Sitting on a Barbed Wire Fence” was one of the first songs recorded during Bob’s 1965 Highway 61 Revisited sessions, it was ultimately left off of the album. The song got its official release in 1991 when it was included in the The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–...
[Verse 1]
I paid fifteen million dollars, twelve hundred and seventy-two cents
I paid one thousand two hundred twenty-seven dollars and fifty-five cents
See my hound dog bite a rabbit
And my football’s sitting on a barbed-wire fence
[Verse 2]
Yes, my temperature rises and my feet don’t walk so fast
Yes, my temperature rises and my feet don’t walk so fast
Well, this Arabian doctor came in, gave me a shot
But wouldn’t tell me if what I had would last
[Verse 3]
Well, this woman I’ve got, she’s filling me with her drive
Yes, this woman I’ve got, she’s thrilling me with her hive
She’s calling me Stan
Or else she calls me Mister Clive
[Verse 4]
Of course, you’re gonna think this song is a riff
I know you’re gonna think this song is a cliff
Unless you’ve been inside a tunnel
And fell down 69, 70 feet over a barbed-wire fence
[Outro]
All night!
