Joan

Joan Baez is eighty years old now. There was a pureness and integrity about her voice when she was young. Here she is in 1965 singing a Bob Dylan song for the BBC:-

It Ain't Me Babe

written by Bob Dylan (1964)

Go away from my window
Go at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're looking for someone
Never weak, but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're looking for, babe

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say you're looking for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone who'll close his eyes for you
Someone who'll close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're looking for, babe

Go, melt back into the night, babe
Everything inside me is stone
There's nothing in here moving
And anyway, I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're looking for, babe
