I absolutley adore this song.I can't believe there isn't more comment on this.It was the very first Dylan song I'd ever listened.And now I'm a huge Dylan fan and I know all of his songs by heart.
Anyway I think this song tells the story of a rambler who falls in love with a gypsy girl who is wild and hard to tame.So he doesn't have any chose but rambling on.
I think he sings it after they made love for the last time,
Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
He knows he's got to go.Because she won't be his to have.He still loves her.Although he doesn't sense any love from her.Or affection or gratitude to make him stay.
@ecekam : I think you got it right. They are definately laying in the same bed in the beginning. Thats a great start to understand the mood in the rest of teh song.

Much later in the song I & I he sings: “Beens son long since a strange woman slept in my bed, look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams”
