Bob Dylan - Belle Isle lyrics

One evenin' for pleasure

I rappled with you

In the fair fields all alone

Down by the banks of Loche Erin

Where the beauty and pleasure were known

I spied a fair maiden and her neighbor

Which caused me to stay for awhile

And I thooght of her goddes of beauty

Bloomin' bright star of Brighte Isle

l humbled myself to her beauty

Fair maiden where do you belong

Are you from heaven descended

Abiding cupid's bare throne

Young man I will teII you a secret

It's true l'm a maid that's poor

And to part from my vows and my promise

'Tis more than my heert can endure

Therefore I remain at my service

And go through with my hardship and toil

And wait for the lad that has left me

All alone on the banks of Belle Isle

Young maiden I wish not to banter

'Tis true I come here in disguise

l came here to fulfill my last promise

And hope to give you a surprise

l know you're a maid I Iove dearly

And you've been in my heart all the while

For me there is no other damsell

Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle
