Description: Dylan wrote "Went To See The Gypsy" after his first meeting with Elvis Presley. Several references are made regarding Presley's career move in Las Vegas, but there's also a mention of a "little Minnesota town," a rare instance where Dylan references his own childhood. Are They really met or it was only Dylan's fantasy? I don't know... WENT TO SEE THE GYPSY (Words and Music by Bob Dylan) 1970, 1976 Big Sky Music Album New Morning WENT TO SEE THE GYPSY (Words and Music by Bob Dylan) 1970, 1976 Big Sky Music Went to see the gypsy, Stayin' in a big hotel. He smiled when he saw me coming, And he said, "Well, well, well." His room was dark and crowded, Lights were low and dim. "How are you?" he said to me, I said it back to him. I went down to the lobby To make a small call out. A pretty dancing girl was there, And she began to shout, "Go on back to see the gypsy. He can move you from the rear, Drive you from your fear, Bring you through the mirror. He did it in Las Vegas, And he can do it here." Outside the lights were shining On the river of tears, I watched them from the distance With music in my ears. I went back to see the gypsy, It was nearly early dawn. The gypsy's door was open wide But the gypsy was gone, And that pretty dancing girl, She could not be found. So I watched that sun come rising From that little Minnesota town.
