The story behind the song

This song offers advice to Ramona, who is preparing to return to "the South," urging her not to follow the counsel of others. It explores the idea of staying true to oneself despite outside influences. Written by Bob Dylan, the lyrics were started in London and finished in Greece, then recorded in a single take for his album Another Side of Bob Dylan. At its heart, it plays like a gentle, guiding hand, encouraging independence and self-belief.
