I like this bluesy version of this song and can actually understand the lyrics a lot better than the Dylan version.
 
We had a nun play this song every day to start our religion class when I was at a Catholic high school in the early-to-mid seventies.

She didn't realize that by the seventies those words were out of favor and she was the opposite of cool to us. At least she tried.
