about

Written by Dylan, the Godfather of Americana music, it was initially a hit for the UK band Manfred Mann. Bob recorded and released three different versions. My cover uses harmonica on the identifiable hook pattern.


lyrics

Come all without
Come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without
Come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments
Others jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna jump for joy

Come on without
Come on within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

I like to go just like the rest
I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues, and making haste just ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
All the pigeons gonna fly to him

Come all without
Come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without
Come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Let me do what I wanna do
I'll recite 'em all
Just tell me where it hurts
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get no sleep
There's someone on everyone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna wanna doze

Come all without
Come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without
Come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
