Blonde on Blonde · 1966

Pledging My Time

The second track on Blonde on Blonde, a slow Chicago-style blues led by harmonica.

The words

A man in a bad way promises his devotion to a woman and hopes she will come through for him.

The singer speaks to a woman he wants, offering her his loyalty while hinting at the trouble and sickness all around him. The song is a slow, swaggering blues built on repeated pledges, with dark asides about danger slipping between them. The mood is smoky and late-night rather than romantic. Electric guitar and heavy drums lumber along, and Dylan's harmonica wails between the verses.
