But that's all right, baby
You know I always will understand.

I might as well pass right on by.
My ears are ringin'
Ringin' like empty shells
My ears are ringin'
Ringin' like empty shells
Well, it can't be no guitar player
It must be combat bells.

The story behind the song

Bob Dylan is celebrated for infusing folk music with sophisticated lyrical techniques, drawing from classic literature and poetry. His work often explores political, social, and philosophical themes, challenging pop music norms. This song, appearing on an album of rare and unreleased material from 1961-1991, captures a raw, expressive blues feeling, much like the traditional folk and blues material found on his early albums. It plays like a direct channel to the timeless struggles and laments that define the blues genre.
