Go Back

It Ain't Me Babe

Words & Music by Bob Dylan

Lyrics:

I'm not the one you want, babe,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
I'm not the one you want, babe,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
Go melt back into the night, babe,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

More info:

Billy Mayhew copyrighted his number, "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie," in 1933, so it is possible that an earlier recording than that of Freddy Ellis's exists. Ellis's recording was made on 18 February 1936 and was released on Conqueror 8707, Perfect 6-04-11, and Melotone 6-04-11. Seymour Richards provided the vocal refrain. The number has been recorded by just about everyone, from Billie Holliday to Vera Lynn—quite a contrast! Elvis's home recording, however, is based more on that of the wonderful Ink Spots, a group he was very fond of—and rightly so!—and he even provides a Bill Kenny-like recitation.
