"Meet Me in the Morning" is a blues song written by Bob Dylan, recorded in … Read Full Bio ↴"Meet Me in the Morning" is a blues song written by Bob Dylan, recorded in New York City on September 16, 1974, and released on his 15th studio album "Blood on the Tracks" in 1975.

"Meet Me in the Morning" is an acoustic blues performed with a full band and the only blues song on "Blood on the Tracks". It is musically identical to another song, "Call Letter Blues", that Dylan had recorded earlier in the "Blood on the Tracks" sessions before rewriting the lyrics entirely. "Call Letter Blues" was eventually released on "The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991" in 1991.

The intersection mentioned in the song's first line, 56th and Wabasha, apparently does not exist. However, Minnesota Highway 56 and Wabasha Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota did intersect in 1974, when the song was recorded. This suggests that the lyric is "56 and Wabasha" rather than "56th and Wabasha" as the official Dylan website states.

A September 19, 1974, outtake of "Meet Me in the Morning" was released on the B-side of the Record Store Day 2012 release of Dylan's single "Duquesne Whistle" and on the single-CD and 2-LP versions of "The Bootleg Series Vol. 14: More Blood, More Tracks" in 2018, with the complete recording sessions of the song included on the deluxe edition of that album.

On September 19, 2007, Dylan played the song live in concert for the first and, to date, only time, during a show in Nashville, Tennessee. He was joined onstage for the performance by Jack White of The White Stripes. "Meet Me in the Morning" is prominently featured in Sam Mendes' 2009 movie "Away We Go".

Bob Dylan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meet me in the morning
56th and Wabasha
Meet me in the morning
56th and Wabasha
Honey, we could be in Kansas
By time the snow begins to thaw

They say the darkest hous

Is right before the dawn
They say the darkest hour
Is right before the dawn
But you wouldn't know it by me
Every day's been darkness since you been gone

Little rooster crowin'
There must be something on his mind
Little rooster crowin'
There must be something on his mind
Well, I feel just like that rooster
Honey, ya treat me so unkind

Well, I struggled through barbed wire
Felt the hail fall from above
Well, I struggled through barbed wire
Felt the hail fall from above
Well, you know I even outran the hound dogs
Honey, you know I've earned your love

Look at the sun
Sinkin' like a ship
Look at the sun
Sinkin' like a ship

Ain't that just like my heart, babe
When you kissed my lips?

Overall Meaning

Bob Dylan’s Meet Me in the Morning is a dark, blues-infused song that conveys the agony of a brokenhearted lover. The singer pleads with his love to meet him at 56th and Wabasha, in hopes of rekindling their relationship. Though he is hopeful, the singer knows the situation is dire. Kansas is miles away, and the snow has already arrived.

The singer starts off by acknowledging the adage that says the darkest hour is right before the dawn, but he doesn't believe it. He has been in the dark since his lover left, and he sees no way out of his misery. The little rooster crowing, perhaps a metaphor for his conscience reminding him of his current state, only reinforces his despondency. He feels like he’s struggling to survive, outrunning the hound dogs, and navigating through barbed wire, all for the sake of his lover's love.

As he watches the sun sinking, he draws a stark comparison to his heart when his lover kissed his lips. Just as the sun is gone, his heart sank when she left, and he feels lost without her. The song encapsulates the agony of a lover’s loneliness and desperation. Dylan's voice suits the mood perfectly, with a gritty edge that underscores the sorrowful lyrics.

The specific location of the meeting

Honey, we could be in Kansas By time the snow begins to thaw
We have plenty of time because the snow will take a long time to melt

They say the darkest hour Is right before the dawn
Things always seem the worst before they start getting better

But you wouldn't know it by me Every day's been darkness since you been gone
I haven't seen any improvement since you left

Little rooster crowin' There must be something on his mind
The rooster may be expressing a concern, just like I am

Well, I feel just like that rooster Honey, ya treat me so unkind
I feel like I'm in the same situation as the rooster, where you're treating me unkindly

Well, I struggled through barbed wire Felt the hail fall from above
I've gone through difficult and painful experiences

Well, you know I even outran the hound dogs Honey, you know I've earned your love
I have proved my dedication to you, and I deserve your love

Look at the sun Sinkin' like a ship
The sun is setting, creating a beautiful yet melancholic scene

Ain't that just like my heart, babe When you kissed my lips?
When we kissed, my heart was filled with love but is now sinking like the sun as things have gotten worse since you left

Meet me in the morning, 56th and Wabasha
Wabasha 56th에서 아침에 나를 만나줘
Honey, we could be in Kansas by time the snow begins to thaw
자기, 우리는 눈이 녹기 시작할 때 캔자스에 있을 거야

They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
그들은 새벽 직전이 가장 어두운 시간이라고 하지
But you wouldn't know it by me
그러나 나에게서는 그런 걸 알 수 없을 거야
Every day's been darkness since you been gone
당신이 사라진 뒤 매일이 어둠이었거든

Little rooster crowin', there must be something on his mind
수탉이 울고 있어, 마음 속에 뭐가 맴도나봐
Well, I feel just like that rooster
그래, 난 저 수탉같은 기분이야
Honey, ya treat me so unkind
자기, 당신은 나에게 너무 불친절했어

Well, I struggled through barbed wire, felt the hail fall from above
그래, 난 철조망을 지나 고생하며 왔어, 우박이 쏟아지는 걸 느꼈지
Well, you know I even outran the hound dogs
그래, 당신은 내가 사냥개들도 넘어섰다는 걸 알 거야
Honey, you know I've earned your love
자기, 당신은 내가 당신의 사랑을 얻었다는 걸 알아

Look at the sun sinkin' like a ship
태양이 배처럼 가라앉는 걸 봐
Ain't that just like my heart, babe
자기, 저게 내 마음 같지 않아?
When you kissed my lips?
당신이 내 입술에 키스했을 때 말이야

I've noticed people either love or hate his voice, no in-between.

Makes me believe that people search for something in a voice, and that people who don't like Dylan's voice don't relate to it emotionally.

@steelyman08

Some of his greatest lyrics are on this album. They may not contain the spellbinding pyrotechnics of Highway 61 & Blonde On Blonde, etc, but they've matured along with the man. Tangled Up In Blue is a fine example. It's an irresistible novella! Thoroughly deserves his Nobel Prize in literature (although I'm sure he thought it all as mostly just pomp & circumstance!).

The blues is the melancholy par excellence. The Dylan of the 1970s is my favourite. And this track, a mixture of Big Broonzy and Lightin Hopkins, is a masterpiece. Like all that record, for that matter. Immortal.

4:20 of pure Bob bliss, you aren't left wanting for anything after this, musically. This song is like a novel, with every word and note precisely and sparsely chosen for maximum effect, and finished far too soon to warrant anything other than starting it over immediately to make sure you didn't miss any nuance. It is like this song was Meant and Waiting to be written by this muse.

It is a hard choice, since each era had albums that stood out, however for this era this was simply perfection, not much from that time even compares. Keep in mind, they didn't do a whole lot of takes either, it was left raw and is exactly what it sounds like, great musicians jamming together. Other groups labored over albums, Bob was basically of the mind to just cut the track, and keep moving. No reason to fuss over it, just lay it down.

High people. I´m a German and I´d like to state that - in my opinion - Bob Dylan and Richard Wagner are the two most outstanding geniuses in music. If Bobby could allow me to extend one line in this song my proposal was to sing "... look at that sun sinking like a BURNING ship." I know it´s harder to keep the flow of rhythm with it, but it makes that picture appear much more powerful.
Greetings to all followers of Bob and long life for him. But no matter how long HE will live - his music will forever!

For those who enjoy this album, a lesser known album is Nashville Skyline, which I would highly recommend for a few tunes featured there. It is easy to see how Dylan's collaboration with certain artists like Johnny Cash influenced his later work.

Nashville Skyline is one of his best albums. It's not as complex lirically as some of his other works, but is equally brilliant and sonically is as pleasant as possible. "Tonight I will be staying here with you" is one of the most enjoyable and exciting Dylan songs...

Blood on the tracks was always a sad album to me, but I started to love its happy songs as it’s sad songs.

O.M.G. Everytime I think I won't hear another brilliant Dylan song because he has done so many brilliant songs and how in the world can he come up with another brilliant song??? Wham. I am so fucking blindsided. By his fucking genius.

Anyone think he gave a little nod to the old blues song little red rooster with the lyrics about the rooster and hound dog, heck even the actual beat is reminiscent of it and the delivery of the lyrics, love it

Ahh..! Then you need to get the full-track version of More Blood, More Tracks - it includes the "uncut" version of this - with an extra verse and, yes, an extra long steel guitar solo...!!

@markclason2717

There’s a great story about that steel guitar solo (Buddy Cage) in Phil Ramone’s book, Making Records: The Scenes Behind The Music (2007).

@RunningCordoroy

I know!!!

Buddy Cage adds a whole nother level of greatness to this song on pedal steel
