A handwritten working manuscript of Bruce Springsteen’s 1975 hit “Born to Run” will be offered at auction on Dec. 5, with a presale estimate of $70,000 to $100,000, Sotheby’s said Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The seller was not revealed. The auction house said the document used to be in the collection of Springsteen’s former manager, Mike Appel.<\/p>\n

Sotheby’s said most of the lines in this 1974 version, written in Long Branch, N.J., are apparently unpublished and unrecorded, but the manuscript does include “a nearly perfected chorus.”<\/p>\n

Springsteen’s thought process, written in blue ink on an 8 1\/2-by-11 sheet of ruled notepaper, looks like this:<\/p>\n

“This town’ll rip the (out your) bones from yourback \/ it’s a suicide trap (rap) (it’s a trap to catchthe young) your dead unless \/ you get out (we gotto) while your young so (come on! \/ with) take myhand cause tramps \/ like us baby we were born to run.”<\/p>\n

“The imagery and tone are constant from the present manuscript to the final song,” the auctioneer said.<\/p>\n

There are also some words in the margins: “Wild” and “Angels” and a word that looks like “velocity,” with the letter “t” in Springsteen’s curlicue cursive.<\/p>\n

“Although Springsteen is known to have an intensive drafting process, few manuscripts of `Born to Run’ are available, with the present example being one of only two identified that include the most famous lines in the song,” Sotheby’s said.<\/p>\n

The document will be part of a Manhattan sale of fine books and manuscripts.<\/p>\n
