Dylan's ability to inhabit an old tune and make it his own is on display here, with a spare acoustic backing and a world-weary voice. A younger Dylan might have taken this tale of an outlaw rambler and made it uptempo and sung it brightly like he did on "Rambling, Gambling Willie," but here he sounds like he really has been put upon by Bill, and wishes Bill would leave him and his wife alone.
