Masterpieces is a compilation album by Bob Dylan. The 3-LP set was released in Japan and Australia in anticipation of his 1978 tour. Primarily a greatest hits collection spanning Dylan's career up that point, the album features three previously unreleased tracks, including "Rita May", "George Jackson" and a unique (1962) outtake version of "Mixed Up Confusion". It also includes a live performance of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" from Dylan's 1966 World Tour, which was first released as the B-side of his "I Want You" single in 1966. Masterpieces was reissued on CD in 1991 by Sony Music (Cat. No. 4624489), but is no longer in print.
All songs written by Bob Dylan, except where noted.
Thundering down from the mountain you ride
Clutching a sword made of steel
The ones you call friends they all left you for dead
Alone on the
battlefield many were at your command Renegade
souls on your command Holding each life in your hand
Living for all and for one
Shining into the night you
are riding Through the darkness and light you are
flying with the wind in your hair The flight of the
warrior
Drunk with revenge from winch on one can
hide Into their midst you will run A face from the
grave is the last thing they'll see And die with your
name on their tongue many were at your command
Renegade souls on the run Holding each life in your
hand Living for all and for one
Shining into the night
you are riding Through the darkness and light you are
flying with the wind in your hair The flight of the
warrior
Thundering down from the mountain you ride
Clutching a sword made of steel The ones you call
friends they all left you for dead Alone on the
battlefield Many were at your command Renegade
souls on your command Holding each life in your hand
Living for all and for one Shining into the night you
are riding Through the darkness and light you are
flying with the wind in your hair The flight of the
warrior
