  • Dear landlord
    Please don't put a price on my soul
    My burden is heavy
    My dreams are beyond control
    When that steamboat whistle blows
    I'm gonna give you all I got to give
    And I do hope you receive it well
    Dependin' on the way you feel that you live

    Dear landlord
    Please heed these words that I speak
    I know you've suffered much
    But in this you are not so unique
    All of us, at times, we might work too hard
    To have it too fast and too much
    And anyone can fill his life up with things
    He can see but he just cannot touch

    Dear landlord
    Please don't dismiss my case
    I'm not about to argue
    I'm not about to move to no other place
    Now, each of us has his own special gift
    And you know this was meant to be true
    And if you don't underestimate me
    I won't underestimate you Writer/s: BOB DYLAN
