So cold. Sometimes it gets so cold.

Written by John Prine

performed twice by Bob Dylan, 

Rome, June 6, 1991 (above)

São Paulo Brazil, August 17,1991

People that are sad,
sometimes they wear a frown
People that are kings,
sometimes they wear a crown
But the people that don't fit
Get the only fun they get
[from] People puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

You may lose your life,
you may lose your family
You may lose your mind,
just to keep your sanity
But the people that don't fit,
the only fun they get:
People puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

So cold, sometimes it gets so cold

People that are glad,
sometimes they wear a smile
People without dreams
will walk an extra mile
But the people that don't fit,
the only fun they get:
People puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

So cold, sometimes it gets so cold

(Second verse, not sung by Dylan):

People without love,
sometimes build a fence around
The garden up above
that makes the whole world go 'round
But all the people that don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down.

Thanks to Egil for posting the above video.  If not for you, I may never have known that Bob performed this John Prine song.
