A light, crooning swing number, the fourth track on "Love and Theft", in the style of prewar popular song.
The words
A man woos a woman in a gentle, easygoing way, though a hint of menace hides under the charm.
A man courts a woman with a relaxed, sweet-talking manner, saying he is in no hurry and enjoying himself. But beneath the charm the singer drops darker hints about his past and his intentions, so the courtship never feels quite innocent. Dylan croons it softly over a lilting swing arrangement that recalls the popular ballads of the 1930s.
