Song Quote by Bob Dylan

“I've got to know that I'm singing something with truth to it. My songs are different than anybody else's songs. Other artists can get by on their voices and their style, but my songs speak volumes, and all I have to to is lay them down correctly, lyrically, and they'll do what they need to do.” quote by Bob Dylan — Download Open image

The old men of the village of Mahotière say that the Mistress of the Water is a mulatto woman.
