  58 Well, he hands you a nickel,
  59 He hands you a dime,
  60 He asks you with a grin
  61 If you're havin' a good time,

  77 About man and God and law.
  78 Everybody says
  79 She's the brains behind pa.

  85 Well, I try my best
  86 To be just like I am,
  87 But everybody wants you
  88 To be just like them.
  89 They say &quot;sing while you slave,&quot; and I just get bored.

 153 <p>*) At this point, Dylan does something of the kind that only he can
 154 do, something different in each verse: he just seems to strike
 155 something chord-like, which really doesn't make sense, but which
 156 becomes quite right in the context of the performance &ndash; it's part of
 157 that which characterizes the performance, defines it.</p>
