Back Door Blues

You would be blue too
If your girl split, and then a
Big coffin arrived.

Dylan performed this old song live one time in 1963 and abandoned it as far as I know. It's on "The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963." In reality, the singer would rather have a coffin show up at his back door than have his girl leave, but it seems ambiguous enough to me when I explore the words that I thought it was OK to fool around with the order of things.
