Well you're comin' down High Street, walkin' in the sun
You make the dead man rise, and holler she's the one
Jolene, Jolene
Baby, I am the king and you're the queen
Well it's a long old highway, don't ever end
I've got a Saturday night special, I'm back again
I'll sleep by your door, lay my life on the line
You probably don't know, but I'm gonna make you mine
Jolene, Jolene
Baby, I am the king and you're the queen
I keep my hands in my pocket, I'm movin' along
People think they know, but they're all wrong
You're something nice, I'm gonna grab my dice
I can't say I haven't paid the price
Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you're the queen
Well I found out the hard way, I've had my fill
You can't find somebody with his back to a hill
Those big brown eyes, they set off a spark
When you hold me in your arms things don't look so dark
Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you're the queen

“I keep my hands in my pocket” I keep my music confined to a small, isolated group “I'm movin' along” they dig my riff “People think they know, but they're all wrong” people think they know what side my songs are on politically but they are wrong, not Right “You're something nice, I'm gonna grab” take and grasp suddenly “my dice” my protest songs, Tarantula, “malnutrition & thinking they're too smart & you with the dice & forever uniform ... receiving some degree & while giving it to your wall” “I can't say I haven't paid the price” I had to further an ideology that is repugnant to me.

Idiot Wind “Well you're comin' down High Street” you are at or near the peak or culminating stage of your career Joanie, “you are walkin' in the sun” ‘in the sun’ in the public eye “You make the dead man” you make someone not commercially productive; idle “rise” become more popular, get a erection “and holler she's the one” and sing with her “Jolene, Jolene Baby, I am the king” of folk rock “and you're the queen” and you are the queen.

its about Joan Baez the Queen of Folk and Dylan was the King, it was not the opposite.
Live sounds SO good.
I just heard this live at New Britain Stadium in Connecticut last night. Hate to say it, but it sounded even better live with the tour band.
I stood, or danced, in the sweet spot close to the stage. I cannot give enough high praise to Bob Dylan's sound people. I never have to wear earplugs, and my ears always feel fine after any Bob Dylan show, no matter how close I am.
Bob Dylan shows consistently, for years, continue to provide the best sound of any performer and band I have ever heard, especially anybody that does songs that rock like this one.
Thank you Bob, among many other things, this listener really appreciates the quality of sound that I'm sure you demand for your audience.
