Der Songtext des Liedes "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" von Bob Dylan lautet:

---

I was riding on the Mayflower
When I thought I spied some land
I yelled for Captain Arab
I have yuh understand
Who came running to the deck
Said, 'Boys, forget the whale
Look on over yonder
Cut the engines
Change the sail
Haul on the bowlineWe sang that melody
Like all tough sailors do
When they are far away at sea.

'I think I'll call it AmericaI said as we hit the land
I took a deep breath
I fell down, I could not stand
Captain Arab he started
Writing up some deeds
He said, 'Let's set up a fort
And start buying the place with beadsJust then this cop comes down the street
Crazy as a loon
He throw us all in jail
For carryin' harpoons.

Ah me I busted out
Don't even ask me how
I went to get some help
I walked by a Guernsey cow
Who directed me down
To the Bowery slums
Where people carried signs around
Saying, 'Ban the bumsI jumped right into line
Sayin' 'I hope that I'm not lateWhen I realized I hadn't eaten
For five days straight.

I went into a restaurant
Lookin' for the cook
I told him I was the editor
Of a famous etiquette book
The waitress he was handsome
He wore a powder blue cape
I ordered some suzette, I said
'Could you please make that crepeJust then the whole kitchen exploded
From boillin' fat
Food was flying anywhere
And I left without my had.

Now, I didn't mean to be nosy
But I went into a bank
To get some bail for Arab
And all the boys back in the tank
They asked me for some collateral
And I pulled down my pants
They threw me in the alley
When up comes this girl from France
Who invited me to her house
I went, but she had a friend
Who knocked me out
And robbed my boots
And I was on the street again.

Well, I rapped upon a house
With the US flag upon display
I said, 'Could you help me out
I got some friends down the way
' The man says, 'Get out of here
I'll tear you limp from limbI said, 'You know they refused Jesus, tooHe said, 'You're not Him
Get out of here before I break your bones
I ain't your popI decided to have him arrested
And I went lookin for a cop.
