Lyric discussion by The_Baron 

at imab&sbookworm I can`t believe bob dylan wrote this either...well thats because he didnt...its a traditional. Bob just came up with his own arrangement for this song...thats it. Both music and lyrics are by an unknown author. The meaning of the song is pretty clear though.

It`s about an inmate who feels betrayed by his lover. well what is there to say...its a bit to obvious i guess

An error occured.
