In this song Bob Dylan is lamenting his situation. After he had his motorcycle accident. I believe he injured perhaps broke his neck inured his back, He ws going to be laid up fora while, Clouds so swift the rain was going to fall, He had been on the fast track and now he was going to have to slow down. Ghengis Khan and his brother Don is a reference to Phil and Everley, The Everley Brothers. They at one time were also on top but due to their contentious relationship stopped playing and did not talk to each other...

They at one time were also on top but due to their contentious relationship stopped playing and did not talk to each other for 10 years. "Pick up your tent McGuin" is a nod to Roger McGuin of the Byrds a friend who had reinterpreted many of Bob Dylans songs and made them and Bob famous. When members of the The Band, Roger McGuin and other friends visited with him they joked "you aint going nowhere". Bob jokes and used sarcasm in his song about what he will do with his time now. Perhaps view movies, " Gunga Din", go shopping, buy rings or a gun that sings, a flute that toots, a sky that cries (lamenting again), a bird that flies, a fish that walks, or a dog that talks. Whooee are we going to fly down in the easy chair. Bob ws going to be immobilized for a while. It was a time to also rehabilitate and detox. Hint Hint.
Im not quite sure what this song is about, but gosh, it makes me cherry! Something about the bouncy music and the harmonica and the lyrics. :-D
