Bob Dylan vs. Peter, Paul and Mary

 Link: [Bob Dylan]


Blowin’ In The Wind
Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
Yes
And how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
Yes
And how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they’re forever banned

The answer my friend
Is blowin’ in the wind
The answer
Is blowin’ in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea
Yes
And how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free
Yes
And how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn’t see

The answer my friend
Is blowin’ in the wind
The answer
Is blowin’ in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
Yes
And how many deaths will it take ‘til he knows
That too many people have died

The answer my friend
Is blowin’ in the wind
The answer
Is blowin’ in the wind




Blowin’ In The Wind
Peter, Paul and Mary
How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they’re forever banned

The answer my friend
Is blowin’ in the wind
The answer
Is blowin’ in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend he just doesn’t see

The answer my friend
Is blowin’ in the wind
The answer
Is blowin’ in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take ‘til he knows
That too many people have died

The answer my friend
Is blowin’ in the wind
The answer
Is blowin’ in the wind

The answer
Is blowin’ in the wind

    How insipid PP&M look in comparison to Dylan!

    Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! Well, I wasn't prepared for that kind of a response. I should've known better--huh?

    I didn't have to listen to them, having heard both versions far too many times before but at least PP&M are understandable and pleasant to the ear! And yeah, better looking...

    Peter, Paul, and Mary - didn't one of them die recently? Their song - The Wedding Song - was our song at our wedding.

    Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! Yes, the most familiar memory of the song that I have is of their version.
