I think it says Annie in the chorus, but there is also a line that clearly says Fanny in the last verse - "To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one" There is also a line that says Anna - "Well Luke my friend, what about young Anna Lee"Meh, who cares. The song is amazing no matter what it is :)

Feb 1, 2012 - i think that by clearly saying the names anna and fanny in the 3rd and 5th verse was a means to confuse suceeding generations. especially youtubers that feel the need to debate about it. the cool part guys, is its both. you can choose whichever one you want, and your right. now how often do you get to do that? huh?

Feb 6, 2012 - I love this song, have to hear it at least once a day. It's one of the great songs of the rock / folk / Americana era. I know The Band and Bob Dylan had a long and mutually influential relationship. But, once and for all what does " being a peaceful man " have to do with taking care of and feeding Crazy Chester's dog ?

Feb 7, 2012 - Good song but the picture at 3:09 to 3:27 is very zombie like - creepy!

MrJohnAwesome Says:

Feb 7, 2012 - @OllieHeartman63 I'm pretty sure 'afternoon delight' was playing after that scene. This song was playing when they were riding to the biker bar.
