This will be it for this Wilbury Weekend…one more tomorrow.
Congratulations for breaking my heart, Congratulations for tearing it all apart
Congratulations, you finally did succeed, Congratulations for leaving me in need
This appeared on their first Album Vol 1. This was the B side of the single End of the Line. Dylan sings this song of despair.
There is not a song on either of their two original album that I don’t know by heart. This one was played a lot in my car…which I seemed to livein… going in between a girlfriend and friends.
Congratulations
Congratulations for breaking my heart
Congratulations for tearing it all apart
Congratulations, you finally did succeed
Congratulations for leaving me in need
This morning I looked out my window and found
A bluebird singing but there was no one around
At night I lay alone in my bed
With an image of you goin’ around in my head
Congratulations for bringing me down
Congratulations, now I’m sorrow bound
Congratulations, you got a good deal
Congratulations, how good you must feel
I guess I must have loved you more than I ever knew
My world is empty now ’cause it don’t have you
And if I had just one more chance to win your heart again
I would do things differently, but what’s the use to pretend?
Congratulations for making me wait
Congratulations, now it’s too late
Congratulations, you came out on top
Congratulations, you never did know when to stop
Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations

My Mum used to take the piss out me by impersonating Dylan singing this song. The song encapsulates the carefree approach they had making this album. It’s a lot of fun.

The first one is the best by far…I like the other but the songs are more consistent on the first.
Dylan really stands out on these.

I’ve heard Tweeter and the Monkey Man on the radio – that was a good Dylan song.

Yes that is my favorite song on the album. That sounded like earlier Dylan.
