John Wesley Harding is an amazing album, the songs have a mysterious quality to them and the whole concept of the album is so different from many of Dylan's works.
As Cavern said, this song should be more famous. The lyrics are so simple, but have as much meaning as other, more complicated Dylan songs. I also think this song has a lot to do with his near fatal motorcycle accident; it seems as if he's begging for his life...
Dear landlord
Please don't dismiss my case
I'm not about to argue
I'm not about to move to no other place
Now, each of us has his own special gift
And you know this was meant to be true
And if you don't underestimate me
I won't underestimate you.
