A Dylan song performed by the Band without him on the 1975 release of The Basement Tapes.
The words
A comic, rowdy tale of a night of mischief that the singer keeps insisting must be hidden from Henry.
This is the Band's performance of a Dylan song, a comic story of wandering, drinking and strange encounters. After each episode the singer insists that Henry must not hear about any of it, which becomes the running joke. The tone is boisterous and teasing, like a tall tale told in a bar. Horns and a stomping, good-time rhythm make it one of the album's liveliest tracks.
