Mama, take this badge over me,
I can’t use it anymore.
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark to see,
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Mama, take these guns away from me,
I can’t use them anymore.
There’s a long black cloud followin’ me.
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Solo
Mama, take this badge over me,
I can’t use it anymore.
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark to see,
I feel like I’m knockin on heaven’s door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heavens door.
— Bob Dylan
