A country blues recorded by Blind Blake in the 1920s, sung by Dylan with guitar on Good as I Been to You.
The words
A man senses that the woman he loves is about to leave him and asks her not to.
The singer can tell that his partner is preparing to walk away, and he pleads, half resigned and half hopeful, for her to stay. The song turns on that single fear, returning to it again and again in the manner of a classic blues. It is short and spare. Dylan plays it with a nimble fingerpicked guitar and sings it with a worn, close-up intimacy.
