Same here, although I'm 42

Written in March 1962 (and first sung on March 19th) this precedes "Blowing in the Wind" by a month and is therefore Dylan's first masterpiece. I might even suggest that it's a better, or more substantial, song than "Blolwing.." The Muses had begun to take the young man in hand!

At least someone's caring about writing this stuff down.

I’ve heard almost every Dylan song and this is still near the top of the heap for me.

I’ve read all their statements and I’ve not said a word, but now, Lord God, let my poor voice be heard

Biblical. Dylan will be the one artist from our time that will be revered centuries from now.

Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace ✌

Verse 1] I will not go down under the ground ’Cause somebody tells me that death’s coming 'round An’ I will not carry myself down to die When I go to my grave my head will be high [Refrain] Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground [Verse 2] There’s been rumors of war and wars that have been The meaning of life has been lost in the wind And some people thinking that the end is close by ’Stead of learning to live they are learning to die [Refrain] Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground [Verse 3] I don’t know if I’m smart but I think I can see When someone is pulling the wool over me And if this war comes and death’s all around Let me die on this land ’fore I die underground Refrain] Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground [Verse 4] There’s always been people that have to cause fear They’ve been talking about war now for many long years I have read all their statements and I’ve not said a word But now Lawd God, let my poor voice be heard [Refrain] Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground [Verse 5] Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood Let the smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace [Refrain] Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground [Verse 6] Go out in your country where the land meets the sun See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho Let every state in this union seep down deep in your souls And you’ll die in your footsteps Before you go down under the ground

Maybe because the world wasn't ready for it yet, or because people are not gifted with 20:20 hindsight - or maybe that's the same thing. Or maybe because Dylan likes to cover his tracks, and Blowin in the Wind and Hard Rain are further developments on this theme. But I agree - it is one of his very best.

Dylan at his greatest.

This song was replaced by A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall on the Freewheelin album. I always wondered why they couldn't have included both songs on the album.

first heard dylan around 82 aged 14 via masterpieces. a lifelong devotion. what a writer.

I was just on the phone with my daughter talking about going to Pat and her mom's grave next week. Its Pats Birthday and she and loved Easter so I was trying to think of something to put on her grave that is something from Easter. I hang up and see Bob Dylan singing this song. COOL👍❤😥 Good song.

Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here

This song is relevant today

First time I hear this nice music. I have been reading chronicles of Bob Dylan

This is in my top 10 Dylan songs ever (not that it's possible to draw a line at 10). Fascinating to see the evolution of Dylan. The seeds of Blowin' in the Wind are in this song and in No More Auction Block. I was listening to Planet Waves tonight - hadn't listened to it for decades, and not a favourite at all - but now I can see it was a necessary precursor to the awesome Blood On The Tracks which is a further development of that musical style.

Wow. My all time favorite. Was just a kid when I first heard it, now 74! Now am marching and dragging my protest signs. But have his songs to inspire me.

Beautiful ❤

When you can feel another's pain, that's love. God always has the last say in every situation. Learn to live and prepare for the next life, which is eternal. I Love You Bob Dylan. 😘🌹 Victoria

I was in 3rd grade when the existential threat of horrific nuclear annihilation was driven home almost daily in school with the duck and cover drills and evacuation to the fallout shelters. Despite it not happening, the "fallout" has poisoned me for life. We could have been spared all that horrible torture because as the bigger kids liked to say... "Yeah, bend over, put your head between your knees, and kiss your @ss goodbye!"

Dylan, you are always a compass.

There will never be another like my beloved 🌹

Amazing Bob dylan

One of his best songs from the 60s, no doubt.

Hope you’re listening today

I first heard this in poem form on the movie dangerous minds. I didn't realize it was actually a song by bob

Nothing more than truth had being said as true statement

Of all of Bob Dylan's songs, this was the most reminiscent of a Woody Guthrie song. In fact, if I didn't know better, I would have guessed this was a Woody Guthrie song. This may be the reason Dylan left this song off of the 'Freewheelin' album. At the time, he was slowly moving away from the Guthrie link.

Dylan and his namesake, Dylan Thomas - thinking alike on this issue. This would make a great double-A side single: "Let Me Die in My Footsteps" on one side, and DT reading his timeless poem, "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night", on the other.

The real National Anthem!

before i go down under the ground

I will not go down under the ground "Cause somebody tells me that death's comin' 'round An' I will not carry myself down to die When I go to my grave my head will be high, Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground. There's been rumors of war and wars that have been The meaning of the life has been lost in the wind And some people thinkin' that the end is close by "Stead of learnin' to live they are learning to die. Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground. I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see When someone is pullin' the wool over me And if this war comes and death's all around Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground. Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground. There's always been people that have to cause fear They've been talking of the war now for many long years I have read all their statements and I've not said a word But now Lord God, let my poor voice be heard. Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground. Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace. Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground. Go out in your country where the land meets the sun See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho Let every state in this union seep in your souls. And you'll die in your footsteps Before you go down under the ground.

This song is so perfect for today's political climate

Other than Visions of Johanna, my favorite Dylan song

Definitely one of Bob Dylan's best early songs. Resonates about the threat of nuclear warfare circa 1962 and the need to go 'underground' ie into a fall-out shelter; yet at the same time a metaphor for death in a wider sense (or the need to 'survive' and re-create to avoid death and destruction) which are common themes in Literature and poetry throughout history e.g. World War One poet's like Siegfried Sassoon juxtaposing warfare and death with images of nature and renewal. Better than A Hard Rain imo and should have been included on the Freewheelin' album.

Eu não irei para baixo da terra, Porque alguém me diz que a morte esta chegando. E eu não traçarei minha vida para a morte, Quando eu for para meu túmulo, será de cabeça erguida. Deixe-me morrer em meus passos, Antes que eu vá para baixo da terra. Há rumores de guerras e de guerras que se foram, O sentido da vida que se perdeu no vento. E algumas pessoas pensando que o fim esta chegando, Ao invés de aprenderem a viver, estão aprendendo a morrer. Deixe-me morrer em meus passos, Antes que eu vá para baixo da terra. Eu não sei se sou esperto, mas eu acho que posso ver, Quando alguém esta puxando o manto sobre mim. E se essa guerra chegar e a morte por toda parte, Deixe-me morrer nessa vida antes que eu seja enterrado. Deixe-me morrer em meus passos, Antes que eu vá para baixo da terra. Há sempre pessoas que têm que causar medo, Eles vem falando de guerra por muitos longos anos. Eu li todos os seus pronunciamentos sem dizer uma palavra, Mas agora bom Deus, deixe minha pobre voz ser ouvida. Deixe-me morrer em meus passos, Antes que eu vá para baixo da terra. Se eu tivesse rubis, riquezas e coroas, Eu compraria o mundo inteiro e mudaria as coisas ao redor. Jogaria as armas e os tanques no mar, Porque eles são erros do passado. Deixe-me morrer em meus passos, Antes que eu vá para baixo da terra. Deixe-me beber as águas nas nascentes da montanha. Deixe-me sentir o cheiro das flores silvestres fluir em meu sangue. Deixe-me dormir em seu jardim com as folhas verdes de grama. Deixe-me seguir a estrada com meu irmão em paz. Deixe-me morrer em meus passos, Antes que eu vá para baixo da terra. Viaje pelo seu país e descubra onde a terra encontra o sol. Veja as crateras e canyons por onde as cachoeiras escoam. Nevada, Novo México, Arizona, Idaho. Que cada estado dessa união penetre em sua alma. E você vai morrer em seus passos, Antes que você vá para baixo da terra.

Don’t tell me though, you think that all of this is Mr Putins fault despite well respected academics like Noam Chomsky warning that this would happen thanks to the US and their NATO allies breaking their agreement with Mikhail Gorbachev regarding NATO expansion along with Zelenksy claiming that he would sign the Minsk Agreement once he comes into office. I’m sorry, but the situation in Ukraine doesn’t all fall at the hands of Mr Putin I’m afraid despite what western governments and the corporate media like to report.
