Bob Dylan: 4 Great live versions of Hallelujah, I’m Ready To Go (Trad.)

bob dylan 1999

I’m ready [hallelujah]
Hallelujah [I’m ready]
I can hear the voices singin’ soft and low
Hallelujah [I’m ready]
I’m ready [hallelujah]
Hallelujah, I’m ready to go.

Dark was the night
Not a star was in sight
On the highway headin’ down below
I let my Saviour in
And He saved my soul from sin

Bob Dylan started performing this “high energy” trad song in the summer of 1999. It was always the opening song in the shows where it was played.

It was played 10 times in 1999, 14 times in 2000, 7 times in 2001 & 6 times in 2002 (last performance April 28, 2002).

Here are 4 great versions.

Somewhere in 1999

Hallelujah, I’m ready to go.
Hallelujah [I’m ready]
I’m ready [hallelujah]
I can hear the voices singin’ soft and low
I’m ready [hallelujah]
Hallelujah [I’m ready]
Hallelujah, I’m ready to go.

Hallelujah [I’m ready]
I’m ready [hallelujah]
I can hear the voices singin’ soft and low
I’m ready [hallelujah]
Hallelujah [I’m ready]
Hallelujah, I’m ready to go.

Sinner don’t wait
Before it’s too late
He’s a wonderful Saviour to know.
I fell on my knees
He answered my pleas
Hallelujah, I’m ready to go.
