A fast, comic song on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, adapted from a 1920s recording by the songster Henry Thomas.
The words
A man begs a woman for just one more chance, in a lighthearted song that never quite sounds heartbroken.
The singer asks to be forgiven and taken back, though he sounds more cheerful than repentant. It is brief and bouncing, little more than a refrain and a couple of verses, with whoops and harmonica breaks between them. Dylan plays it for fun, the kind of jaunty old-time number that lightened his live sets of the time.
