World Gone Wrong · 1993

Ragged & Dirty

A country blues sung to his own acoustic guitar, it is the third track on World Gone Wrong.

The words

A down-and-out man, turned away and left with nothing, asks a woman to take him in anyway.

A plain-spoken blues from a man who has been thrown out and is broke, shabby and alone, pleading with a woman to let him back in. The verses circle around the same situation rather than telling a story, in the way of old country blues. Dylan plays it with a loose, rolling guitar pattern and sings with a rough, unhurried patience.
