Nettie Moore

The words

A man mourns a lost love while moving through a hard, disordered world of trouble and judgment.

A man longs for a woman named Nettie Moore, who seems lost to him, while describing a world full of danger, hardship and approaching judgment. The verses roam between grief, scripture, blues images and wry asides before returning to the sorrowful refrain. The arrangement is sparse and stately, built on a slow, thudding beat, with Dylan sounding grave and reflective.
