The Hollies

Mighty Quinn

(Bob Dylan)

Track 12 (final) on album 'Hollies Sing Dylan' May 1969



Come all without, come all within

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Come all without, come all within

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn



Everybody's building ships and boats

Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes

Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy

but when Quinn the Eskimo gets here

everybody's gonna jump for joy



Come all without, come all within

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Come all without, come all within

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn



I like to go just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet

But jumping queues and making haste

just ain't my cup of meat

Everyone's beneath the trees feeding pigeons on a limb

but when Quinn the Eskimo gets here

all the pigeons gonna run to him



Come all without, come all within

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Come all without, come all within

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn



Let me do what I want to do, I can't decide 'em all

Just tell me where to put 'em, and I'll tell you who call

Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes

but when Quinn the Eskimo gets here

everybody's gonna want to doze



Come all without, come all within

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Come all without, come all within

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
