Written by Bill Trader and a hit for both Hank Snow and Elvis Presley, it was recorded by Dylan around Self Portrait and released on "Dylan".
The words
A jilted man admits he is still devoted to the woman who left him and will go on loving her.
The singer has been left behind, yet he cannot stop loving the woman who walked away. He addresses her directly, asking what she would want with someone so foolishly faithful, and confessing that he will love her anyway. The song is a classic country weeper, gentle and self-mocking rather than bitter. Dylan sings it in a relaxed, crooning voice over a light country backing.
