[instr. verse]
Doc says I'm crazy, some says I am some says I ain't
Doctor says I'm crazy, some says I am some says I ain't
The little girl says I'm [a sinner]**), but the preacherman calls me a saint
[instr. verse]
Got lots of whiskey, [...] start lookin' good *)
Got lots of whiskey, [...] start lookin' good
Couple more shots of whiskey, I'm goin' back to Minglewood
Doc says I'm crazy, some says I am some says I ain't
Doctor says I'm crazy, some says I am some says I ain't

*) Dylan’s lyrics are inaudible (to me anyway). The Grateful Dead’s version goes:
Well, a couple shots of whiskey, women round here start looking good Well, a couple shots of whiskey, women round here start looking good A couple more shots of whiskey, I'm going down to Minglewood
**) Dylan sings something else probably intending to sing the same as in the last verse.
