Subject: RE: Origins: Boots of Spanish Leather (Bob Dylan)
Please help with the meanings, sod the tune for now, thats been discussed at length, why not ask Bob

Its the 'meaning'

So

is it about a bust up?

'He' leaves in verse 1

wants her to remain 'unspoiled' in V 2

after V 6 has she 'strayed'

or was that a 'she' leaving in V 1?

She leaves in verse 7 or is that 'he'

In verse 6 is 'she' - assuming its 'He' in verse 1, -   showing signs of being right pissed off with his 'askings'?

and in verse 8 [last verse] has 'he'   already returned home and 'she' gone where 'he' went?

Did their paths cross while travelling but they did not meet.

Does anyone give a shit?
