Mama, take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is coming down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
(You just better start sniffing)
(Your own rank subjugation, Jack)
('Cause it's just you against)
(Your tattered libido)
(The bank and the mortician, forever, man)
(And it wouldn't be luck)
(If you could get out of life alive)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's doorFoi escrita por Bob Dylan para a trilha sonora do filme *Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid*, de 1973.
A canção foi lançada como single apenas dois meses após a estreia do filme e rapidamente alcançou o Top 10 em vários países.
Apesar de seu tom simples, a música tornou‑se um dos maiores sucessos de Dylan após os anos 60, sendo gravada por artistas como Eric Clapton, Guns N’ Roses e Randy Crawford.
As duas estrofes curtas descrevem diretamente a cena do filme, na qual o xerife que morre fala com a esposa dele, “Mama”, interpretada por Katy Jurado.
Em 2004 a Rolling Stone a posicionou na 190ª colocação da lista das 500 Melhores Canções de Todos os Tempos; em 2010 subiu para a 192ª posição, mas foi removida na edição de 2021.
O hino foi descrito pelo biógrafo Clinton Heylin como “um exercício de simplicidade esplêndida”, evidenciando a minimalista estrutura musical que contrasta com a profundidade lírica.
