Corrina, Corrina
Gal, where you been so long?
I been worryin' 'bout you, baby
Baby, please come home

I got a bird that whistles

I got a bird that sings
I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that sings
But I ain' a-got Corrina
Life don't mean a thing

Corrina, Corrina
Gal, you're on my mind
Corrina, Corrina
Gal, you're on my mind

I'm a-sittin' down, thinkin' of you
I just can't keep from crying

Overall Meaning

Bob Dylan's Corrina Corrina is a classic blues song that speaks to love and loss. The song is directed towards a woman, named Corrina, whom the singer has not seen in a long time. The singer's worry and longing for Corrina is palpable in each verse, as he begins by asking Corrina where she has been so long.

The singer goes on to describe his current state, emphasizing that he has everything, with the exception of Corrina, causing him to feel as though life doesn't mean anything without her. This is highlighted when the singer talks about his bird that sings and whistles, but Corrina is still missing. The singer's love for Corrina is so intense that he can't stop thinking about her, which keeps him crying and unable to forget her.

The song is both a love ballad and a blues song, with Dylan's voice emotion-filled and raw, conveying the depth of his feelings towards Corrina. The song has a simple structure, with just two verses repeated, but Dylan's voice and the simplicity of the lyrics allow the emotion to come through powerfully. The importance of love and companionship is displayed through Dylan's longing for Corrina, symbolizing the importance of human connections in our lives.

My late father was a massive Dylan fan, often learning his songs on guitar and singing them while in his room to no audience. Dad was a beautiful guitar player, singer, and did much justice to Sir Bobs tunes.
In late 2021 just 9-days before he passed on after a very aggressive cancer diagnosis I (unknowingly) had my last visit with him. He was weak, vulnerable, and scared......but his spirit and humor were intact. During our visit, his newly appointed nurse came in and introduced herself as Corrina and randomly asked my dad if he knew of a certain song with the same name, and my pops lit up and said in his own Richard Pike way that it was one of his favorite Bob Dylan songs and that he was happy to have the namesake caring for him.
A few days later he was in hospice and then died soon after. I hope that lovely nurse named Corinna helped to make his last days more comfortable.
I miss him so so very much, but Dylan always helps to bring us back together in some way.

So many genuine music lovers, with taste, depth, knowledge and a sense of his art, still don't get this man and his body of work from 1961-2022. The popular music artist who will shine for as long the Sun does.

@chungboislim2061

Bob is definitely my favorite musician by a pretty large margin, but I would say he only has 5 masterpieces out of 39 studio albums. Still 5 more than most musicians, but still.
Freewheelin', Bring it All Back Home, Blood on the Tracks, Highway 61, Blonde on Blonde. Just sharing my opinion. I'm curious if you were being hyperbolic if you actually enjoy the work he's produced over the last 40 years? If so, do you think any of them are comparable to the greatness of the albums I listed?

@PIPEHEAD

@@chungboislim2061 So many great artists fail miserably to live up to their first album, but there's no way anybody is going to make that claim about Bob. His second album is another matter, and there's no way he's bettered it. I'm happy with everything from this to Blood, think Desire is the end of the road, and the only album that's got through my radar since that is Slow Train. This is the album where the pathetic copyist transforms before his own eyes into the mighty BOBMAN !

As a teenager that loved Dylan’s witty, talkie, political greats of the mid-60s, this song came at me as totally singular and special. This was the same person who did those other songs! It was on a different shelf for me - not to be listened to with friends, but rather while staring out of the rainy bus window on a long distance night ride.

@@philharnage993 Not to start a shit show but THAT one is “Corinne Corinna” a hit for Ray Peterson & covered by a bunch of people.
Not saying Dylan didn’t hear it and “borrow” a little bit ie the chorus. Most of the lyrics and music are different.

His first five albums got me through high school. The world created by his songs was a fascinating contrast to the real everyday one, that included Vietnam, race riots in my school and the general enuii of adolescence.

Bob Dylan remembers idolizing Johnson in Greenwich Village during the early 1960s: “He greatly influenced me … ‘Corrina, Corrina’ [which Dylan covered on his 1963 album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan], that’s pretty much Lonnie Johnson. I used to watch him every chance I got and sometimes he’d let me play with him.”

"" (sometimes "") is a 12-bar country blues song in the AAB form. "Corrine, Corrina" was first recorded by Bo Carter (Brunswick 7080, December 1928). However, it was not copyrighted until 1932 by Armenter "Bo Carter" Chatmon and his publishers, Mitchell Parish and J. Mayo Williams. The song is familiar for its opening verse:

This may be my favorite Dylan song and it's a cover, sort of. I think it was the poet Robert Lowell who said Dylan had a Caruso voice. It's that Hank Williams yodel that really gets me. Not quite full throated but controlled and passionate.

Me and my friends took lsd and listened to Mr. Tambourine Man. That is when I saw the music come out of the speaker in waves of color. I was transported to heavenly places. That was before they painted the passports brown. I saw the wind blow. Everyone should see that. Dylan is the master of the tower of song.
