Musical genius.
You need to hear the actual recording.
The lyrics by themselves are interesting, but a little flat.
Throw in the "psychedelic" guitar licks, etc, and it's one of the
better- even if now mostly forgotten- gems from the era.
At one time it was fun to sit around the hookah and debate the "inner
meaning" of tunes like this. I can't seem to remember whether Martha
Lorraine was popularly assumed to be about peyote, hashish, LSD, or
the Selective Service System/FEDGOV- (good arguments for all). I still
remember how suprised a lot of folks were to realize that Mr
Tambourine Man was about a dope dealer. Dylan was always easier to
figure out than Joe McDonald :-)
I suppose if you are sitting around doing drugs, a lot of songs sound
like they are "dealing" drugs. Not all of us were Day Trippers
