Let Me Die in My Footsteps (verses 2 and 6 only)There's been rumours of war and wars that have been, the meaning of life has been lost in the wind, and some people thinkin that the end is close by, 'stead of learnin to live they are learnin to die, let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground.
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood, let the smell of wild flowers flow free through my blood, let me sleep in your meadows with the green grass and leaves, let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace, let me die in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground.
Bob Dylan, 1963.
