| Song | WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN (WITH JOAN BAEZ) |
| Artist | Bob Dylan |
| Album | The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963 - 2013 |
| [00:29] | Oh, the time will come up |
| [00:31] | When the winds will stop |
| [00:33] | And the breeze will cease to be breathin' |
| [00:37] | Like the stillness in the wind |
| [00:40] | Before the hurricane begins |
| [00:42] | The hour that the ship comes in |
| [00:46] | And the seas will split |
| [00:48] | And the ship will hit |
| [00:50] | And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking |
| [00:55] | Then the tide will sound |
| [00:56] | And the wind will pound |
| [00:59] | And the morning will be breaking |
| [01:03] | (MUSIC) |
| [01:10] | Oh, the fishes will laugh |
| [01:12] | As they swim out of the path |
| [01:14] | And the seagulls they'll be smiling |
| [01:18] | And the rocks on the sand |
| [01:20] | Will proudly stand |
| [01:23] | The hour that the ship comes in |
| [01:26] | And the words that are used |
| [01:29] | For to get the ship confused |
| [01:31] | Will not be understood as they're spoken |
| [01:35] | For the chains of the sea |
| [01:37] | Will have busted in the night |
| [01:39] | And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean |
| [01:44] | (MUSIC) |
| [01:50] | A song will lift |
| [01:53] | As the mainsail shifts |
| [01:55] | And the boat drifts on to the shoreline |
| [01:59] | And the sun will respect |
| [02:01] | Every face on the deck |
| [02:03] | The hour that the ship comes in |
| [02:07] | Then the sands will roll |
| [02:09] | Out a carpet of gold |
| [02:11] | For your weary toes to be a-touchin' |
| [02:15] | And the ship's wise men |
| [02:17] | Will remind you once again |
| [02:19] | That the whole wide world is watchin' |
| [02:24] | (MUSIC) |
| [02:31] | Oh, the foes will rise |
| [02:33] | With the sleep still in their eyes |
| [02:35] | And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin' |
| [02:39] | But they'll pinch themselves and squeal |
| [02:41] | And know that it's for real |
| [02:43] | The hour when the ship comes in |
| [02:47] | Then they'll raise their hands |
| [02:49] | Sayin' we'll meet all your demands |
| [02:51] | But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered |
| [02:55] | And like Pharaoh's tribe |
| [02:57] | They'll be drownded in the tide |
| [03:00] | And like Goliath, they'll be conquered |
| [03:05] | (MUSIC) |
