Mighty Quinn

Written by Bob Dylan, “Mighty Quinn” was originally titled “Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)” and was featured on his album “Self Portrait.” However, it was Manfred Mann’s cover that truly brought this song to life and made it a hit.

Dylan wrote the song during a period of seclusion in upstate New York, and it is said to have been inspired by a painting he saw of an Eskimo. The catchy melody and infectious rhythm make it impossible to resist tapping your feet and singing along.

But what does the song mean? Well, that’s open to interpretation. Some believe it’s a simple, feel-good tune about a mythical character named Quinn. Others see deeper meanings, suggesting that Quinn represents a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.

Regardless of its meaning, “Mighty Quinn” has had a significant influence on the music industry. Its catchy chorus and energetic vibe have made it a favorite among fans of rock and roll. The song has been covered by numerous artists over the years, further cementing its status as a classic.

Mighty Quinn – Manfred Mann lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Come all without
Come all within
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without
Come all within
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Everybody’s building ships and boats
Some are building monuments
Others jotting down notes
Everybody’s in despair, every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody’s gonna jump for joy

Come on without
Come on within
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

I like to go just like the rest
I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues, and making haste just ain’t my cup of meat
Everyone’s beneath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
All the pigeons gonna run to him

Come all without
Come all within
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without
Come all within
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Let me do what I wanna do
I can’t decide ’em all
Just tell me where to put ’em
And I’ll tell you who to call
Nobody can get no sleep
There’s someone on everyone’s toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody’s gonna wanna doze

Come all without (just singin’ a song)
Come all within (everybody)
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn (I wanna hear you sing)

Come all without
Come all within (here he comes now)
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn (let’s come on and sing)

Come all without (just singin’ a song)
Come all within (everybody)
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

come all without
Come all within
You’ll not-
