"I Want You," by Bob Dylan

Author: Robert Zimmerman

The guilty undertaker sighs
 The lonesome organ grinder cries
 The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
 The cracked bells and washed-out horns
 Blow into my face with scorn, but it’s
 Not that way, I wasn’t born to lose you

Scorn means to be contempt/disappointed. He is saying that these things are making him scorn. Maybe they are reminding him of the girl he likes.

STEPHEN HOWARD (Apr 08 2019 10:20AM) : Good imagery more

I love the imagery that Dylan presents with phrases like “guilty undertaker,” and “lonesome organ grinder,” It makes me wonder how they connect to the rest of the poem/story.

This song is so much sweeter than a lot of his songs. He’s usually very stubborn about love.

The drunken politician leaps
 Upon the street where mothers weep
 And the saviors who are fast asleep, they wait for you
 And I wait for them to interrupt
 Me drinkin’ from my broken cup
 And ask me to open up the gate for you

this line contrasts with the line before, as it’s more sad. Why are they weeping?

How all my fathers, they’ve gone down
 True love they’ve been without it
 But all their daughters put me down
 ’Cause I don’t think about it
 Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
 And talk with my chambermaid
 She knows that I’m not afraid to look at her
 She is good to me and there’s
 Nothing she doesn’t see
 She knows where I’d like to be but it doesn’t
 Matter

he’s saying “all my fathers” does he mean role models for him/people who influenced him or does he mean religious fathers of a church?
