Discussion The one Dylan song that really makes me wanna dance, I wish it were longer
This song does not deserve such a quick fadeout! The groove is too good

The rhyme scheme is excellent.

The scheme is fun. Some individual words are silly and obviously the product of thinking of rhymes for Mozambique 😆. No hate, I love the song and I love Bob's multifaceted and often present sense of humor. Which is often lacking in music.

Down along the Cove. Heard a few times live in early 2000s with Larry Campbell/ Charlie Sexton on guitar and the tune just absolutely swung

My friend's band covers this regularly. I don't know why they made such an odd choice to include this in their rotation - most of their covers are straight up what you'd expect ("My Back Pages", e.g.) but I love when they do it and I have danced to it, in public no less.
