The story behind the song

This song is a traditional folk tune, given Bob Dylan's touch on his 1992 album Good as I Been to You.

Playing this song connects you to that rich history of folk music, a style that greatly influenced Dylan's early work and his approach to songwriting. It plays like a timeless narrative, inviting you to embody the simple, charming story it tells.
