Song Lyrics Indigo Girls - Knockin On Heavens Door    [Lyrics & Song Text Archive] lyrics archive>> I>> Indigo Girls Singer Lyrics [Indigo Girls other resources]>> Knockin On Heavens Door Song Lyrics Author/Artist/Singer: Indigo Girls Music Title/Track: Knockin On Heavens Door Theme ID: 5156 Album: N/A Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a Bob Dylan song from 1973. The girls have been doing it now and then since at least 1988. There's something about the girls' version that kinda confuses me... See, the official Dylan lyric sheet has two verses: Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore It's getting dark, too dark for me to see I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door... Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them anymore That long black cloud is comin' down I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door... Though I know that Dylan often sings a third verse live: Mama, wipe the blood from my face I can't see through it anymore It's a feeling that I just can't trace I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door... Though in every IG version I have, Amy sings the following third verse: Mama, wipe this blood from my face I can't see through the walls Six white horses coming to carry me away I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door... So, I don't know whether Amy re-wrote Dylan's third verse, or whether it's from some Dylan version I don't know. What I'm trying to say is that I don't know whether to attribute the "six white horses" line to Dylan or to Amy. To further complicate matters, I've got one version that features a FOURTH verse, sung by Michelle Malone. This verse breaks both the meter and the rhyme scheme (ABBB in favor of ABAB), so I'm willing to bet that it's just Ms. Malone improvising... Mama, take these chains off of me 'Cause I don't want them anymore They're getting too damn heavy, I'm crawling across the floor I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door... Oh - BTW - the first person who asks me about the "Guns-n-Roses" version will feel my wrath... -Vic.
