A short love song on Another Side of Bob Dylan, later recorded by the Byrds on their 1965 debut album.
The words
A man is dazzled by a gypsy woman he meets in the city and asks her to tell him who he is.
The singer is captivated by a woman in Spanish Harlem, and the song is his rush of attraction, part flirtation and part surrender. It is brief and impressionistic, three verses of heat and colour with no resolution. Dylan sings it quickly over guitar, a sketch of infatuation rather than a story.
