The title song comes from the Mississippi Sheiks.
The words
The singer laments a world turned upside down, where nothing works as it should.
Speaking to a lover, the singer explains that he can no longer behave as he once did, because the whole world around him has gone wrong. The verses touch on broken trust, trouble at home and his resolve to leave, each one returning to the same weary refrain. The tone is resigned rather than angry, more a shrug at ruin than a protest. The song comes from the Mississippi Sheiks, and Dylan performs it alone with acoustic guitar.
