Denise Denise

Written by 
Bob Dylan
Tabbed by 
Eyolf Østrem

Piano song, recorded during the sessions for Another Side Of Bob Dylan (1964), but not used for the album. Musically, it is a very close relative of Black Crow Blues, both in terms of instrumentation (piano), chord structure and playing style.

Denise, Denise, gal, what's on yer mind

You got your eyes closed, baby, but I know that you ain't blind

Well, I can see you're smilin', but whoa your mouth is inside out
I can see you're smilin', but you're smilin' inside out
Well I know you're laughing, but what are you laughing about?

Well, if you're tryin' to throw me, babe I've already been tossed
If you're tryin' to throw me, babe I've already been tossed
If you're tryin' to lose me, baby I'm already lost

Well, what are you doin', are you fine or have you flipped?
Oh, what are you doin', have you fine or have you flipped?
Well, you call my name and then say your tongue just slipped

Denise, Denise, are you for sale or just on the shelf?
Denise, Denise, are you for sale or just on the shelf?
I'm looking deep in your eyes, babe, but all I can see is myself.
