Who knows? Almost none of Bob's lyrics make any sense. From 
what I've read, Bob was in New Orleans for all of four hours
only once in his whole life, back in 1963.

"...found a 66-year-old Dylan breathless, lovesick, and bent 
on revenge. Blood on the Tracks' "You're a Big Girl Now" became 
its corkscrew to the heart, while the crash-landing bounce of 
Blonde on Blonde's "Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I'll Go 
Mine)" had everybody holding on for dear life, including a 
barking, spitting, trilling Dylan, his voice all but totaled 
as he tried to keep up with the band and the crowd tried to 
keep up with him."
