What I'm getting from this one is that Bob and "Mama" were in a relationship, and she's moved on to someone else. He just happened to be thinking about her a lot one day.
My explanation also illustrates how Bob Dylan songs are also really good at letting the listener impose his own story on a song. That's good songwriting.
