Bob Dylan wrote a lot of story songs, and there were several great ones on Blood on the Tracks. @Sunkist posted a good one. This is probably his most well known one.

YES!!!!!

Grandpa made furniture in his garage. I watched every loving stroke he applied, this song brought up so many memories
and the scents of his sawing, carving and finishing it with stain and lacquer. Precious song!

Beautiful rendition. I'd never heard it before. Anything Allison Krauss does has to be good.

A line from Southern Cross:
I've been around the world
Lookin' for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will,
And I found her 40 miles from me.
