I AM THE MAN THOMAS
THEY CROWNED MY HEAD WITH THORNS, THOMAS, I AM THE MAN. THEY NAILED ME TO THE CROSS, THOMAS, I AM THE MAN.
I AM THE MAN THOMAS


I am the Man Thomas

I am the Man

Look at these nail scars

Here in my hand

They drove me up the hill Thomas

I am the Man

They made me carry the cross Thomas

I am the Man

I am the Man Thomas

I am the Man

Look at these nail scars

Here in my hand

They crowned my head with thorns Thomas

I am the Man

They nailed me to the cross Thomas

I am the Man

I am the Man Thomas

I am the Man

Look at these nail scars

Here in my hand

They pierced me in the side Thomas

I am the Man

I died on the cross Thomas

I am the Man

I am the Man Thomas

I am the Man

Look at these nail scars

Here in my hand

They buried me in the tomb Thomas

I am the Man

In three days I rose Thomas

I am the Man

I am the Man Thomas

I am the Man

Look at these nail scars

here in my hand

NOT DARK YET - HOME PAGE

It is the first time
since "Rise Again"
(performed 12 times
in 1980 and once in
1981), that Bob Dylan
performs a song, in
which he speaks in the
first person as Jesus.

Both songs are very
overt statements
about the death and
resurrection of Jesus.

If "these nail scars"
still wouldn't mean
a whole lot to Bob Dylan,
he probably wouldn't
open up 25 concerts with
this challenging song.

Thomas believed after
he had seen his risen
Lord. Blessed are those
(on stage or in the
audience) who do not
see and yet believe.

This song has not been
performed by Bob Dylan
outside the US. Yet!!!
THEY BURIED ME IN THE TOMB, THOMAS, I AM THE MAN. IN THREE DAYS I ROSE, THOMAS, I AM THE MAN.
