You're No Good
Bob Dylan
1962
Columbia
Paroles
Well, I dont know why I love you like I do
Nobody in the world can get along with you
You got the ways of a devil sleeping in a lion's den
I come home last night you wouldn't even let me in.
Oh sometimes you're as sweet as nobody want to be
Oh when you get the crazy notion of jumping all over me
Well, you give me the blues, I guess you're satisfied
When you give me the blues I wanna lay down and die.
After when you had no shoes on your feet, pretty mama
After when you had no food to eat
Now you're that kind of woman that just don't understand
You're taking all my money and give it to another man.
Well, you're that kind of woman makes a man lose his brains
You're that kind of woman drives me insane
Well, you give me the blues, I guess you're satisfied
You give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die.
Interprétation
Blues de Jesse Fuller que Dylan reprend en ouverture de son premier album, enregistré le 20 novembre 1961 au Studio A de Columbia. À vingt ans, il y pose une voix déjà nasale et traînante, au-dessus d'une guitare martelée et d'un harmonica qui prend toute la place.
Le choix de ce morceau n'est pas anodin : Jesse Fuller est un homme-orchestre de San Francisco, figure du one-man band, dont Dylan a vu les performances et qu'il admire. Reprendre Fuller, c'est se placer d'emblée dans une filiation de musiciens de rue et de blues nomade, loin des standards polis de la folk revival.
