The second-to-last track on John Wesley Harding, one of two bright country love songs that close the album with pedal steel guitar.
The words
A happy man walks by the water with the woman he loves and everyone can see how good they are together.
After an album of dark parables, the singer suddenly sounds content: he is out walking with his lover and delighted to be seen with her. There is no conflict, only simple affection and pride. It is a short, easy blues with a cheerful lope and a country lilt. Dylan's piano and the pedal steel guitar give it a relaxed, sunny warmth that points toward his next album.
