Bob Dylan(born on May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and poet, whose place in American and European culture in the 19 60sthrough to the present is unique. Much of Dylan's best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'", became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. He remains an influential and popular artist; his most recent album of new songs, 2006's Modern Times, reached #1 on the charts in the US and #3 in Britain. Dylan's early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing popmusic conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture of the time.

Bye & Bye Lyrics
Bob Dylan
Words and music by bob dylan
By and by, Im breathin a lovers sigh
While Im sittin on my watch so I can be on time
Im singin loves praises with sugar coated rhyme
By and by, on you Im castin my eye
Im paintin the town, swingin my partner around
Well I know who I can depend on, I know who to trust
Im watchin the road, Im studyin the dust
Im paintin the town, makin my last go-round
Well Im scufflin and Im shufflin and Im walkin on briars
Im not even aquainted with my own desires
Im rollin slow, Im doin all I know
Im tellin myself Ive found true happiness
That I still got a dream that hasnt been repossessed
Im rollin slow goin where the wild roses grow
Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past
You were my first love and you will be my last
Papa gone mad, mama shes feelin sad
Well, Im gonna baptize you in fire so you can sin no more
I wanna establish my rule through civil war
Gonna make you see just how loyal and true a man can be
