| Song | Jokerman |
| Artist | Bob Dylan |
| Album | The Best of Bob Dylan |
| [00:02.160] | Standing on the waters casting your bread |
| [00:04.480] | While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing. |
| [00:10.230] | |
| [00:12.930] | Distant ships sailing into the mist' |
| [00:15.550] | You were born with a snake in both of |
| [00:18.360] | your fists while a hurricane was blowing. |
| [00:21.110] | |
| [00:23.130] | Freedom just around the corner for you |
| [00:28.380] | |
| [00:29.570] | But with the truth so far off' what good will it do? |
| [00:34.820] | |
| [00:37.130] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [00:40.760] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [00:44.330] | Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. |
| [00:49.330] | |
| [00:51.890] | So swiftly the sun sets in the sky' |
| [00:55.580] | You rise up and say goodbye to no one. |
| [00:59.830] | Fools rush in where angels fear to tread' |
| [01:05.770] | Both of their futures' so full of dread' you don't show one. |
| [01:11.390] | |
| [01:13.470] | Shedding off one more layer of skin' |
| [01:18.100] | |
| [01:19.789] | Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within. |
| [01:23.910] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [01:30.850] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [01:34.410] | Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. |
| [01:40.110] | |
| [01:41.360] | You're a man of the mountains' you can walk on the clouds' |
| [01:44.800] | Manipulator of crowds' you're a dream twister. |
| [01:49.550] | |
| [01:51.800] | You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah |
| [01:53.930] | But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister. |
| [02:00.610] | |
| [02:03.110] | Friend to the martyr' a friend to the woman of shame' |
| [02:09.550] | You look into the fiery furnace' see the rich man without any name. |
| [02:15.180] | |
| [02:17.110] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [02:20.610] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [02:24.110] | Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. |
| [02:30.430] | |
| [02:41.550] | Well' the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy' |
| [02:45.400] | The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers. |
| [02:50.710] | |
| [02:52.150] | In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed' |
| [02:56.340] | Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features. |
| [03:01.450] | |
| [03:03.330] | Resting in the fields' far from the turbulent space' |
| [03:08.270] | |
| [03:09.830] | Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face. |
| [03:15.200] | |
| [03:17.400] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [03:20.900] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [03:24.140] | Oh. oh. oh. Jokerman. |
| [03:30.960] | |
| [03:41.890] | Well' the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame' |
| [03:45.579] | Preacherman seeks the same' who'll get there first is uncertain. |
| [03:50.390] | |
| [03:52.829] | Nightsticks and water cannons' tear gas' padlocks' |
| [03:56.270] | Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain' |
| [04:01.270] | |
| [04:03.390] | False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin' |
| [04:08.970] | |
| [04:09.780] | Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in. |
| [04:14.910] | |
| [04:17.279] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [04:20.850] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [04:24.350] | Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. |
| [04:30.300] | |
| [04:41.850] | It's a shadowy world' skies are slippery gray' |
| [04:45.659] | A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet. |
| [04:52.470] | He'll put the priest in his pocket' put the blade to the heat' |
| [04:56.159] | Take the motherless children off the street |
| [04:58.720] | And place them at the feet of a harlot. |
| [05:02.850] | |
| [05:03.410] | Oh' Jokerman' you know what he wants' |
| [05:10.540] | Oh' Jokerman' you don't show any response. |
| [05:16.600] | |
| [05:17.410] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [05:20.910] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
